陸委會副主委兼發言人梁文傑表示，這不是什麼一個了不起的新措施，只因中共將原本可以互惠的措施強制中斷，而現在只是不再刁難而已，是先卡住再施恩惠一個很好的例子。（原音）

除了漁業議題，梁文傑也對網友指控他曾說媽祖及關公都是統戰工具做出澄清，他當時的原意是指中共會利用臺灣的信仰場域，來進行統戰行為，也確實有部分廟宇奉中國的廟為祖廟，進而受到對岸的影響；但梁文傑強調「神明本身並不是統戰工具」，他也提醒，中共會滲透臺灣各種宗教組織與場域，這是陸委會長期以來要國人特別留意的統戰管道，希望外界不要誤解他的發言。

王維中賽後表示，這場比賽整體投球感覺不錯，也感謝隊友守備與打擊的幫助。他坦言，相隔許久再次拿下勝投，心情相當開心，「真的太久了」，對於這場勝利格外珍惜。

回顧王維中職業生涯，曾效力美國職棒MLB密爾瓦基釀酒人，並於2018年加盟韓職NC恐龍，成為首位登上韓職的臺灣球員。2020年返台加入味全龍，今年轉戰台鋼雄鷹，持續在中職舞台發光發熱。

王維中上一次勝投為去年開季首戰面對富邦悍將，距今已相隔374天，此役重拾勝投滋味，也為新球季寫下重要里程碑。

攻勢持續延伸，該局朱迦恩獲得保送後，林子豪再敲安打串聯攻勢，獅隊再添1分，逐步拉開比數。

投手方面，布雷克繳出優質先發，主投7局用97球，被擊出5支安打、送出1次四壞球與3次三振，僅在第7局失1分，成功壓制對手打線，帶領球隊以5比1擊敗樂天桃猿，終止近期3連敗。

6局下，張育成敲安並盜上二壘，形成得分契機，不過魔神龍因左手指不適退場後，由李超接手中繼，成功讓范國宸與孔念恩接連出局，化解失分危機。

魔神龍先發5.1局用84球，被敲6安，送出4次三振與1次保送無失分；游霆崴則投6局用92球僅被擊出3安，同樣未失分，兩人皆無關勝敗。

比賽進入延長10局突破僵局，張政禹敲出關鍵安打為味全龍攻下全場唯一1分。下半局由陳冠偉登板關門，成功守住勝果，最終味全龍以1比0擊敗富邦悍將。

一位披著白袍的表演者，白天在醫院擔任精神科職能治療師，治癒病友們的心靈；夜晚卸下白袍，拿起吉他，用音樂說故事。
這樣的雙重身份，讓 Tina 的創作不只是藝術，更帶著真實而深刻的生命經驗。

🎵 當音樂走進醫療現場

讓創作成為療癒的一部分

不同於一般創作歌手，Tina 將音樂真正帶入職能治療的第一線。

她把樂器轉化為「醫療輔具」，帶著患者一起寫歌、一起演出，
讓音樂不只是被聆聽，而是被參與、被感受。

在節目中，Tina 分享，當患者透過旋律與節奏表達內心時，
那些難以言說的情緒，往往能自然地被釋放。

音樂，成為他們與世界重新連結的一種方式。

🏥 一條被支持的跨界道路

讓創意在制度中發芽

Tina 也特別提到，能夠在醫療體系中實踐音樂創作，
離不開醫院與主管的支持與信任。

在專業場域中，願意保留創意的空間，
讓她能自由地將音樂融入治療過程。

這不只是工作形式的創新，
更是一種對患者多元可能性的相信。

🎤 從單曲到專輯

慢慢走向創作者的身份

除了職能治療的實踐，Tina 也在節目中首度透露，
目前正積極籌備自己的音樂專輯。

從單純的唱歌、彈吉他，到發行單曲，
她坦言：「很難想像，創作與發行這件事真的會發生在自己身上。」

但正是這些看似微小的累積，
讓她一步步走向更完整的創作藍圖。

也邀請大家持續關注，
明年即將推出的全新作品。

🌿 在工作與音樂之間

找到價值，也找到快樂

節目前後，吳宇凡與 Tina 的交流輕鬆而真誠。
兩人都在各自的領域中努力，同時也沒有放棄對音樂的熱愛。

因為曾經被音樂陪伴過，
所以更想透過創作，去陪伴更多人。

音樂不只是夢想，
也可以是一種實踐，一種選擇，
甚至是一種讓世界變得更溫柔的力量。

🌹 當《小王子》的玫瑰變成一首歌——孟慶而在《凡凡凡凡欸》談愛與傳承

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到創作歌手 孟慶而，分享她即將推出的新作品〈小王子〉，以及這首歌背後深刻而溫柔的創作靈感。

歌曲的起點，來自世界經典文學《小王子》中的一句話：

「因為你為你的玫瑰花了那麼多時間，它才變得那麼重要」

孟慶而表示，這句話讓她重新思考「愛」的本質
不是因為珍貴才投入，而是 因為投入了時間與心意，才讓一切變得珍貴。
於是，她把這份感受寫進旋律之中，讓《小王子》的玫瑰，長成了一首歌。

👨‍👧 隔代教養的家庭故事

爺爺的教育，成為人生的啟發

節目中，孟慶而也談到自己成長背景中重要的一段記憶。
在隔代教養的家庭環境下，她的爺爺對教育有一套非常特別的堅持。

每到寒暑假，早上八點就會準時把孩子們叫起床學習，
甚至替「孟家孩子們」制定了一份必讀書單，
希望透過閱讀與學習，培養獨立思考與人格養成。

當時看似嚴格的規矩，
長大後卻成為她最深刻的養分。

孟慶而說，這樣的教育讓她一直相信一件事
人性本善，只要給予正確的養分，就會慢慢長成美好的樣子。

🎶 用音樂延續家族的理念

如今的她，把這份精神轉化成自己的使命。
透過創作與音樂，把溫暖與思考傳遞給更多人。

無論是歌手、主持人、演員或講師的身份，
她都希望透過作品與分享，
讓聽見的人在生活中找到力量與方向。

就像《小王子》裡那朵玫瑰
當你願意花時間去照顧與理解，
它就會成為生命裡最重要的存在。

✨ 新歌即將上線

邀請大家一起鎖定

節目最後，孟慶而也透露，
自己的全新歌曲即將正式上線。

在節目播出後，
也邀請聽眾持續關注她的新作品，
一起在音樂中感受那份來自《小王子》的溫柔哲學。

🎨 林雨涵在《凡凡凡凡欸》唱出《唉礙愛》的生活宇宙

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 與創作歌手 林雨涵 展開一場細膩而貼近日常的音樂對談。

而這一集的開頭，竟然是從 一碗豆花 說起。

主持人分享，在訪談前一天，他一邊聽著林雨涵的創作，一邊吃著豆花，沒想到聽著聽著，眼淚竟然就默默流了下來。

那不是刻意渲染的情緒，而是一種非常貼近生活、貼近內心的觸動。
也讓他更確定 : 林雨涵的音樂，總是把最親近的世界，毫無防備地展現在旋律裡，猝不及防地打進聽眾心裡。

💔《唉礙愛》——把情緒拆解成三種心境

節目中，雨涵也深入分享新專輯《唉礙愛》的創作概念。

「唉」是生活裡的嘆息，
「礙」是過不去的卡關，
「愛」則是即使受傷仍願意相信的力量。

整張作品像是一段段情緒的紀錄，
把過去一年走過的心境，誠實收進音樂裡。

🪽 用音樂與插畫，描繪最靠近心的距離

除了歌曲本身，專輯中每首歌也搭配她親手繪製的插畫。
當語言說不出口時，她選擇用畫面延續情緒，
讓作品成為一種「能聽也能看的情感日記」。

🧹 私底下最療癒的興趣竟然是 - 整理房間！？

節目氣氛也不只有快樂

聊到生活日常時，雨涵笑說自己其實非常享受生活與快樂，
而最紓壓的小興趣之一，竟然是 - 整理房間。

對她來說，把空間整理乾淨，
就像把情緒重新歸位，
也是創作前的重要儀式感。

🎶 新歌預告：2/26 全新單曲即將上線

除了《唉礙愛》專輯分享，
雨涵也在節目中搶先預告 2/26 將推出全新單曲。

在細細聆聽專輯之餘，也別忘了鎖定即將到來的新作品，
一起期待她下一段情緒旅程。

💝 情人節的陪伴時刻

節目播出正逢情人節，
在這個關於愛與陪伴的日子裡，

透過林雨涵溫柔而真誠的音樂，
也許有人會想起某段關係、某個人，
或只是想好好抱抱自己。推薦給大家這首歌曲  :3點14159

讓我們在她的歌聲裡 一起快快樂樂地度過

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

泰瑞是我大學的學弟，曾經邀請我回學校演講，那時候我正在做專訪Podcaster的節目，他剛好正在做Podcast，就想說之後可以來節目。後來完全沒有聯絡，直到前年在某場Live相遇，雖然當下我沒認出他，但也因此重新聯絡。

沒想到，這一次是以發片歌手來到我的節目分享，真的太神奇了！我真的很替他開心，能完成一張專輯，是很不容易的事，而且寫了很多內心的故事，希望他未來也一切順利，做著自己開心的事！

挑戰做出自己的微笑歌曲 ft. 李林鴻 ——

《凡凡凡凡欸》從廣播出發，完成一首真正屬於從節目誕生的歌

「微笑」可以很溫暖、很叛逆，
也可以只是一抹意味深長的嘴角弧度。

從小到大，我們聽過無數首以「微笑」為名的歌曲，
但每一首，說的都是不同的人生故事。

在最新一集漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》中，主持人 吳宇凡 以 「挑戰做出自己的微笑歌曲」 為主題，帶領聽眾踏進音樂誕生的第一現場
這一次，不只是訪談，而是 從零開始做出一首歌。

🎸 音樂社工師李林鴻加入創作現場

當社工的溫度，變成旋律的力量

本集特別邀請 音樂社工師 李林鴻 來到節目。
他分享自己如何將 社工工作與音樂創作結合
在陪伴個案的過程中，看見生命的韌性、掙扎與希望，
再把這些真實故事轉化成音符與歌詞。

他說：「每個人都是不同的時區，希望透過音樂折射不同的故事，感動全世界」

而這份來自助人工作的溫度，也讓這次的創作不只是一首歌，
更像是一段真誠的陪伴練習。

🎙️ 用廣播讓大家看見音樂製作的樂趣

身跨音樂製作與廣播主持的吳宇凡，
在節目中示範如何把「廣播現場」變成「創作工作室」。

從靈感發想、和弦選擇、編曲想像、音色堆疊，
所有過程都在麥克風前即時完成，
讓聽眾親耳聽見——
一首歌，是怎麼被做出來的。

🌌 《時區折射的微笑》

把能說出口的聲音，都放進音樂裡

這首在節目中誕生的作品，取名為
《時區折射的微笑》。

從一把吉他開始，
加入鼓的節奏、宇宙感的音效、甚至聖誕節般的閃爍聲響。

只要能說出口的畫面，
都被盡可能加入到音樂裡，
讓「微笑」成為一種跨越時區與情緒的光。

🎼 節目人氣單元【帶你玩音樂】

副歌三大類型教學現場實戰

本集另一大亮點，
是《凡凡凡凡欸》固定單元 【帶你玩音樂】。

吳宇凡現場示範 副歌三大類型 的寫法，
而李林鴻也立刻把教學內容
套用到手上的旋律構想中，
讓聽眾看見 音樂教學不是理論，而是立刻實作。

於是，《時區折射的微笑》
從一段和弦 → 一句旋律 → 一個副歌 → 完整歌曲
在節目中真正 從零到有 誕生。

🎧 《時區折射的微笑》

已於各大串流平台正式發行

這不只是一集節目，而是一場「讓廣播回到創作最原始現場」的實驗。

邀請你一起收聽，感受音樂製作的樂趣、陪伴與生命的溫度。

😊 當微笑被寫進旋律，

我們就知道——音樂真的能讓世界亮一點。

👻 聲音裡的故事、文字裡的靈魂——孫以恩在《凡凡凡凡欸》分享創作與「看見」的旅程

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 與創作歌手、作者 孫以恩 展開一場關於「創作、鬼故事與心靈感受」的深度對話。這一集節目以「來自音樂創作者的鬼故事」為主題，從日常寫作、音樂創作到聲音表演，層層揭開她一路走來的創作歷程與內心轉變。

📖 新書《我見鬼了》——

寫下那些難以說出口、卻真實存在的經驗

節目中，以恩分享了最新作品 《我見鬼了》 的創作契機。
她談到，這本書源自於自己多次「難以解釋卻清楚記得」的經歷——
與其把它們當成驚嚇，她更想把它們寫成 對人、情緒與存在的觀察紀錄。

她說，選擇用文字與聲音記錄，是因為有些東西雖然看不見，但 感受是真實的；
而書中的每一篇故事，都是在尊重與好奇之間找到的平衡。

🎵 一首歌，一段心事〈你能聽見我嗎？〉

節目也播放了她的單曲 〈你能聽見我嗎？〉
這首歌誕生於某次情緒深刻的時刻，
她希望讓那些覺得自己「被忽略、被看不見」的人，
在音樂裡找到一個能被傾聽的地方。

她分享錄音時最印象深刻的錄音體驗：
以往都是用大砲般的嗓音在唱歌，這次需要找一個柔中帶剛的平衡點，揣摩很久
那種介於真實與想像之間的距離，正是這首歌的靈魂。

🌍 從國內到跨國合作：

創作讓她看見更多面向的人

節目也回顧了她替多位國內外藝人創作的歷程。
每一次合作，都像進入不同世界：
有的歌手需要力量、有的人需要溫柔、
而她負責把那些看不見的情緒，用音符完整說出來。
把別人的故事，翻譯成聽得見的歌。

✨ 創作者的成長：

十年前與現在的她，已經是不同的人

談到現在與十年前最大的差別，以恩說：
她不再急著證明什麼，而是更願意陪情緒走長一點的路。也非常感謝 #時報出版 的大力支持，協助參與各類節目與媒體曝光，包含廣播電台、Podcast 、YT等不同平台，讓《我見鬼了》以及我的創作《你能聽見我嗎？》能被更多人看見、聽見。

未來，她也把回歸視為新的起點：
計畫持續創作專輯、聲音、音樂結合的作品，
讓不同媒介互相對話，創造出更多「被看見」的可能。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

🎤 出道十年，頇顢向前 

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到出道滿十年的創作歌手 曾瑋中，帶著全新專輯《頇顢》，展開一場關於成長、遲疑與持續前進的真誠對話。

節目一開始，兩人先從生活近況聊起，說起以前曾經合作的MV故事，也讓聽眾看見舞台之外、依舊真實而溫厚的曾瑋中。

🎶 《頇顢》不是缺點，而是一種誠實的前進方式

談到新專輯名稱《頇顢》，曾瑋中坦言，這是一個他用來形容自己的詞
不是聰明快速型，而是慢慢來、常常想很多、卻依然往前走的人。
但正是這樣的性格，讓他的作品始終保有溫度與重量。

🔥 〈必巡〉爆紅之後：鬆一口氣，還是壓力更大？

當聊到讓更多人認識他的歌曲〈必巡〉，瑋中笑說，因為去年尾牙表現還不錯，再度來到年底竟然有一種期末考的感覺。
爆紅帶來肯定，也同時提醒他：每一首歌，都不能辜負聽眾的期待。

節目中後，他與宇凡也即興合唱〈必巡〉副歌，默契十足，讓現場瞬間變成小型演唱會。

💭 從〈思念你的時〉到〈愛了無著時〉：把情感寫得更靠近自己

在訪談中，曾瑋中也談到主打歌〈思念你的時〉，那是一首關於想念、關於時間慢慢流動的作品；
而親自參與作詞的〈愛了無著時〉，則來自他對感情的深層體悟——
有些愛沒有結果，卻依然真實存在過。

這些歌曲，都像他本人一樣，不急著下結論，而是誠實地陪伴情緒走完一段路。

🌱 十年之後，仍然選擇向前

節目最後，透過殘酷二選一與合作夢想的提問，曾瑋中再次展現他一貫的誠懇與踏實。
他不急著定義未來，只希望能持續寫歌、唱歌，把走過的每一步，交給時間與音樂去證明。
在《凡凡凡凡欸》，我們聽見了一個 「頇顢，卻始終向前」 的創作者。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

從 R&B 的深沈藍、到搖滾的冷冽藍、再到抒情歌手的溫柔藍，兩人邊聽邊分享感受，現場氣氛溫暖又帶點綜藝效果。

✍️ 節目最高潮：一起即興完成 Kimi 的〈BLUE〉

屬於她的「Because Love You Everyday」

在欣賞過各種詮釋後，節目迎來最浪漫的橋段
宇凡與 Kimi 在現場一起寫出屬於 Kimi 的〈BLUE〉。

從挑選和弦、旋律線，到每一句歌詞的誕生，Kimi不斷思考：「我的 BLUE 是什麼？」
最後，她用自己的語言定義了那份「藍色的愛」

「Blue，不只是藍色，而是一種安靜、溫柔、沉穩、不喧嘩卻真誠的愛。」

「是因為你，我想每天都變得更好。」

她把 BLUE 拆解成另一層意義：
B.L.U.E = Because Love You Everyday。

這份屬於 Kimi 的藍，是安靜的、內斂的、不打擾的；
是一種 默契式的喜歡 不用說出口，你懂、我懂。

💙 〈BLUE〉歌詞理念：寫給暗戀，也寫給每一個「靜靜愛著的人」

Kimi 在節目中朗讀了她寫下的歌詞，讓所有人瞬間變得安靜：

「藍色，是我把你放在心裡的位置。」

「那份喜歡不是不夠深，而是太深。」

「怕說了會破壞，所以用最溫柔的方式每天愛你一點點。」

她說，這首歌是寫給那些 不求擁有、只求對方安好 的暗戀者。
那是一種像海浪一樣的愛，無聲、持續、不求回報。

主持人宇凡聽完後直呼：「這 BLUE 是療癒系的神級告白。」

最終，Kimi 在節目裡完成了她的 BLUE (Because Love You Everyday)

一首獻給安靜、溫柔，又深刻的愛的歌

六首 BLUE，六種世界
但節目最後完成的那一首
是最屬於高郁婷的藍。

但他用最音樂人的方式作出回應：
「那我就做一個更好聽的版本給大家。」

主持人問到：「對於過去耳熟能詳的版本，會不會覺得很不捨?」
他瀟灑正面的說：
「不會，再換新的方式來突破自己 這樣很好!」

🎤 我是獨特——黎恩希用聲音唱出時代心事

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡邀請到創作歌手 NC.Li 黎恩希，聊聊她如何用音樂書寫自己的心事，也替更多藝術創作者發聲。

節目一開始，恩希分享了近況與心情，隨後帶來專輯主打歌〈我是獨特〉，像是一封寫給藝術工作者的信，真誠地訴說著每個努力生活、堅持夢想的人，心中那份渴望被理解的聲音。

她的專輯中融合抒情、饒舌、搖滾、甚至歌劇等多樣曲風，每首作品都在嘗試突破框架。特別是〈我聽說地球是一個監獄〉，靈感來自「地球監獄論」：恩希在節目中甚至現場說服主持人，舉例人類會「腳酸、曬傷、身體總是有不適」等現象，或許正是地球並非我們真正家園的證據。她用音樂將這些大膽假設化為旋律，讓人重新思考世界與自我。

🌟 雙重身分的平衡術
白天是行銷人，晚上化身創作歌手，恩希笑說，這樣的轉換其實相輔相成，讓她既能在工作裡理解市場脈動，也能在創作中找到表達自我的出口。她的專輯能成功完成募資，也正是因為她對行銷與音樂的雙重掌握。

值得一提的是，她選擇在舞台上不露全臉，也不讓同事知道自己是歌手，保有一份神秘感，讓音樂回歸到最純粹的感受。

🎶 音樂裡的真實與赤誠
在訪談中，恩希也談到〈你問我為什麼還不結婚〉這首歌背後的故事，直白又帶點幽默地觸碰社會期待與個人選擇的議題。她用音樂說故事，把土地、生活與女性心境轉化成旋律與歌詞。

節目最後，恩希和主持人還聊到她的小習慣、未來夢想，以及希望能合作的對象。她透露接下來還有更多創作計畫，將持續用音樂唱出屬於她的獨特與時代感。

💬 「我是獨特」不只是歌曲名稱，更是黎恩希給聽眾的一份宣言。
從抒情到饒舌、從行銷職場到音樂舞台，她正一步步用行動證明——獨特，才是真正的力量。

🎙 打開《凡凡凡凡欸》，一起認識這位即將展開旅程的多面魅力女孩，期待她在音樂與舞台上帶來更多驚喜！

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡迎來了一位兼具「可愛」與「帥氣」的創作歌手 ZX 芷軒。她是啦啦隊成員，也是饒舌歌手，舞台上能甜到讓觀眾心動，開口唱 Rap 又能霸氣全開。

節目中，ZX大方分享自己最強的技能竟然是「睡覺」！不只如此，我們還多次提到對「23 歲」的神祕期待，讓人好奇，這位即將迎來神祕年齡的多棲表演者，會為大家帶來什麼樣的驚喜與突破？

🌟 甜美與霸氣之間的自由切換
在聊到創作時，芷軒坦言自己歌曲的態度與個性往往來自生活觀察與真實感受。舞台下的她可可愛愛、溫暖親和；但當音樂響起，她就能瞬間化身「兇巴巴又帥」的饒舌歌手，氣場全開，完全是另一個人。

從《大學聲》舞台被更多人認識，到持續創作〈HUNTER〉、〈無能歌手〉、〈走一個 BLESS〉等作品，芷軒一步步累積實力，讓自己的名字成為年輕音樂世代中不容忽視的存在。

🎧 多元身分的平衡術
身兼啦啦隊、歌手、創作者多重角色，芷軒的一天被練習、創作、排練與演出塞得滿滿。她笑說，能兼顧這麼多事情的秘訣，就是找到自己的節奏，停下來好好睡一覺，也是一種充電。

節目最後，她也透露了對未來的規劃與合作夢想，但可以肯定的是，IG關注ZX! 你就可以陪著她一起成長

💬 無論是在啦啦隊制服裡揮舞笑容，還是在舞台上用饒舌開火，ZX 芷軒都在用自己的方式告訴大家 : 女孩可以甜，也可以帥，並且活成自己喜歡的樣子。

Japan's defense ministry highlights Chinese military drills around Taiwan    
發布於 2025-07-16 10:54:13
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani highlighted Chinese drills around Taiwan yesterday in the defense white paper.

His ministry emphasized China's intensification of the drills surrounding Taiwan since last year, and they accuse Beijing of trying to isolate the DPP government.

The document points out that China has been actively increasing its military presence around Taiwan in recent years.

The report noted Beijing's large-scale drills after President Lai Ching Te's inauguration in May of last year, as well as those around National Day on October 10th.

Beijing aims to criticize the Lai administration and deter the US from deepening security ties with Taiwan, according to the report.

The PRC further aims to divide Taiwanese society and isolate the Lai government by using a dual strategy of hardline (強硬的) military action in addition to pushing to strengthen economic ties with Taiwan.

The report says that the exercises around Taiwan share three main characteristics, including combat training, propaganda orientation, and normalization.

Notably, the report emphasizes that the exercises serve as a political messaging tool for the CCP, who broadcast footage of the drills widely.

Nakatani says, Japan will reinforce its defense capabilites and respond calmly.

The premier of Alberta says she will hold a referendum next year on the energy rich province separating from Canada if citizens gather the required number of signatures on a petition.

Speaking on a livestream address, Danielle Smith said she personally does not support the province leaving Canada and expressed hope of a “path forward” for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.

Smith accused previous federal Liberal governments of introducing different legislations that hamstring Alberta’s ability to produce and export oil, which she said has cost the province billions of dollars.

The announcement comes just one week after Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberal Party to a fourth consecutive (連續的) federal government.

It also comes as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada with tariffs and talk of the country becoming the 51st state.

發布於 2025-04-17 10:19:13
North Korea has threatened retaliation after the U.S. flew long-range bombers over South Korea during training with its forces.

The U.S. flew the B-1B bombers Tuesday during an aerial drill that Seoul said was meant to show the two countries’ deterrence (威懾) capability.

North Korea views such drills as an invasion rehearsal and is particularly sensitive to the U.S. mobilization of strategic assets such as long-range bombers, aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines.

North Korea’s Defense Ministry was quoted as saying the U.S. action would inevitably hurt U.S. security and North Korea “will deter by dint of powerful force" the U.S. aggression.

North Korea often test-launches missiles in response to U.S. flyovers of B-1B bombers.

That is a rise of 180,000 over the coming three years.

But the military said the new conscripts would not be sent to fight in Ukraine for what Russia calls its "special military operation".

The current draft (徵召), which takes place between April and July, comes despite US attempts to forge a ceasefire in the war.

Although Russia has turned down a full US-brokered ceasefire (美國仲介的停火) with Ukraine, it says it did agree to stop attacking Ukraine's energy facilities.

Iceland volcano's eruption
發布於 2025-04-02 13:56:14
A volcano in southwestern Iceland that has erupted repeatedly for more than a year again belched (冒出) lava and smoke into the air.

It comes just hours after authorities evacuated the few remaining residents of a nearby fishing village.

The eruption began Tuesday at 9:45 a.m. local time, triggering warning sirens in the town of Grindavik where webcams showed molten rock spewing toward the community.

Iceland's Met Office says it had subsided by late afternoon, though the volcano was still active (火山仍然活躍).

Police and civil defense officials evacuated Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, one of Iceland’s biggest tourist attractions, after an early morning earthquake swarm suggested an eruption was imminent (爆發即將發生).

The market plunged more than 4-per cent on Monday on the back of investor concerns over U-S President Donald Trump's tariff threats that could become reality later this week.

Monday's decline was the fourth steepest in terms of points in the Tai-Ex's history.

發布於 2025-03-28 10:37:13
The Taiwan Forestry Research Institute has unveiled a full-length photo of Taiwan's tallest tree.

The tree is a Taiwania nicknamed "Heaven Sword" and measures 84.1-meters in height.

The forestry research institute says photo was made possible thanks to its collaboration with a National Cheng Kung University team nicknamed "Taiwan champion trees," and Steven Pearce, the leader of Australia's The Tree Project.

According to the institute, the full photographing of the tree was completed in January of 2023.

Institute Deputy Director Wu Meng-ling says the research team spent six days climbing mountains and trekking up the Da'an River to reach the tree before they could begin photographing it.

The tree was located using airborne light detection and ranging technology - which can obtain (獲得) three-dimensional information over a large area in a short time, which in turn helps to measure the height of trees.
