When I-Jing, the younger, five-year old daughter – who is left-handed - is forbidden from using what her traditional grandfather dubs her ‘devil hand,' a chain of events is set in motion, which eventually unravels a family secret. Tsou joins Clare to talk about directing and co-writing the drama which is inspired by her own childhood, cultural superstition about the left hand and the lives of working-class Taiwanese women.Presented by: Clare McDonnell Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths

The court found the D-P-P city councilor guilty of fraudulently claiming 782,000 N-T by falsifying the salary of his office assistant and registering his mother as a phantom (虛假的) employee.

Cannes Critics' Week honors 'Left-Handed Girl' Director Tsou Shih-ching's "Left-Handed Girl" has won the Gan Foundation Award for Distribution at the Cannes Critics' Week. The award is intended to support the French release of a first or second feature film by a new director. Speaking in Cannes after receiving the award, Tsou said the film drew on her many memories from Taiwan, including tense relationships in a traditional family and quiet everyday acts of resistance (反抗) that often went unnoticed. EU Leaders Urge Reinterpretation of Human Rights Convention Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle (對付,處理) irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations. The open letter signed by the leaders of Italy, Denmark, Lithuania Poland and others was made public in Rome late Thursday. It argues that some of the European Court of Human Rights interpretations have limited national governments' ability to expel a minority of migrants who commit crimes. The European Court of Human Rights handles complaints against the 46-member states of the Council of Europe, under the European Convention on Human Rights, including many cases involving migrants and asylum-seekers. UK Chagos Handover to Mauritius The UK will hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the country of Mauritius.

Panama Venezuela Resume Commercial Flights The Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority says that Panama and Venezuela will resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke off diplomatic relations. Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after Panama President Jose Raul Mulino refused to recognize (承認) Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's reelection. Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn't immediately read it. Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama's interest to resume flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama.
