Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened down 59-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,475 on turnover of $4.3-billion N-T. The Tai-Ex extended losses from the previous session on Wednesday, to close below the 16,600 point market, as investor interest remained muted (被抑制的; 不熱烈的) ahead of the conclusion of this week's policymaking meeting of the U-S Federal Reserve. Market watchers say the bellwether electronics sector led the broader market lower, as foreign institutional investors opted to move to the sell side and cash in on profits in futures. **World Leaders Gather for UN Climate Ambition Summit ** World leaders have pledged to invest billions of dollars to keep climate change under control. Many have gathered in New York for the Climate Ambition Summit, taking place during the United Nations General Assembly. But some leaders have been criticized (被批評) for failing to show up. Sally Patterson reports from the UN headquarters. < [CLIP] Slug: > **UK PM Delaying Ban on Gas and Diesel Cars ** Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he’s delaying by five years a ban on new gas and diesel cars that had been due to take effect in 2030. The move is among measures that water down green pledges the U.K. has made. Sunak says Britain remains committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, but in a way that won’t “impose unacceptable costs on hard-pressed (遭受強大壓力的) British families.” The announcement has angered green groups, opposition politicians and large chunks of U.K. industry, but has been welcomed by some in the governing Conservative Party who are against the expense of switching to renewable energy. That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
