Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 35-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 49,857 on turnover of $8.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed at a fresh high Tuesday, but gains were capped as the benchmark index remained below the 50,000-point mark, with some investors selling shares to lock in gains. But contract chipmaker TSMC stayed resilient and still posted gains after retreating from an intraday high, helping the broader market break its previous closing record. New THSRC trains may pave way for family cars, senior citizen cards The minister of transportation and communication says, new Taiwan High Speed Rail trains could pave the way for a pilot program involving family cars and the expanded use of senior citizen cards. Chen Shi Kai made the statement after KMT lawmaker You Hao asked if the THSR planned to designate family cars, since some parents complained about being asked to quiet noisy children. Chen says, the MOTC has discussed the issue with THSR, but noted that space on existing trains is limited. However, Chen says the idea is "well worth" trying out, adding that, when new trains enter service, the ministry will seek to launch a trial (試用) as soon as possible. The first three of the new N700ST trains are expected to begin service in July of next year, improving capacity across the THSR system. 12 are scheduled to be deployed by the end of 2028 to further increase capacity. TRUMP WARNS** US WILL FINISH IRAN WAR 'THE NICE WAY OR THE NOT-SO-NICE WAY'** AS CALIFORNIA ROW DEEPENS US President Donald Trump has warned that America will "finish up" its war with Iran, saying on Tuesday it is only a question of whether it happens "the nice way or the not-so-nice way." The comments at a defence industry event in Maryland came as the president was already facing a backlash over remarks at a campaign rally on Monday night, when he suggested Iran could attack Los Angeles and San Diego — prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to call him deranged (瘋狂的，神經失常的) and dangerous. The White House says the president was making the point that American cities would have been under threat had his administration not acted against Iran's nuclear programme. Kate Fisher has more from Washington. WHO Pneumonic Plague Risk Low The World Health Organization says that a possible case of pneumonic plague in Russia poses a "very low" risk outside the country. A lab employee died from pneumonia there last week, prompting an investigation by Russian officials. Pneumonic plague is a severe form that affects the lungs and spreads through respiratory particles but is treatable (可治療的) if caught early. Russian authorities have conducted preventive measures and say the situation is stable. WHO has not been asked to send experts to Russia but is monitoring the case. U.S. officials urge transparency, while experts note the pathogen's limited ability to spread due to modern medicine. Nobel Physics Prize for Belgian Scientist and Neutrinos A Belgian-born scientist has won the Nobel Prize in physics for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved. rancis Halzen is a physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the U.S. Neutrinos are cosmic particles with no electric charge and extraordinarily (极其) small mass, making them difficult to detect. Yet they are virtually everywhere. T he Nobel committee said Halzen's work was key to the construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Halzen said the research was a collaborative effort. That was the I.C.R.T.
