第一則:F-16V 空軍搜救行動持續 黑盒子訊號待精確定位
空軍上尉飛官辛柏毅於 1 月 6 日晚間駕駛 F-16V 戰機執行夜間訓練時失聯,疑似發生空間迷向,曾三度呼叫跳傘,隨後於花蓮豐濱鄉東方約 10 浬海域失蹤。
國防部長於 1 月 12 日表示,搜救行動已動員逾 1,206 人次及 62 艘次船艦,搜索範圍擴及花蓮至台東沿岸,已偵測到黑盒子定位,但因海象不佳,將待狀況改善後持續行動。
F-16V Rescue Operations Ongoing, Black Box Location Not Yet Confirmed
Air Force Captain Hsin Po-yi went missing on January 6 while flying an F-16V during night training. He is believed to have suffered spatial disorientation and called to eject three times before disappearing over waters about 10 nautical miles east of Fengbin Township in Hualien.
The defense minister said on January 12 that more than 1,206 personnel and 62 vessels have been deployed, with the search expanded from Hualien to Taitung. Although the black box signal has been detected, poor sea conditions have delayed precise operations, which will continue once conditions improve.
第二則:TPASS 補助恐中斷!衝擊百萬通勤族權益
因中央政府總預算審查受阻,TPASS 通勤月票面臨經費斷炊風險。基北北桃四市交通首長於1月12日召開會議研商對策,地方暫可支應至 5、6月,但若中央新預算遲未通過,補助比例高達九成的國道客運與鐵路運輸恐首當其衝。
目前各市暫不考慮恢復過往 1280 方案,並呼籲中央應將其視為延續性預算。這場預算僵局影響每月逾百萬人次的通勤權益,成為中央與地方攻防的焦點。
TPASS Subsidies May Be Halted! Millions of Commuters Could Be Affected
Because the central government’s budget review is stalled, the TPASS commuter pass faces possible funding shortages. Officials from Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, and Keelung met on January 12 to discuss responses, with local governments able to cover costs until May or June. However, if the new central budget is not approved, highway bus services and rail transport, which depend on subsidies of up to 90 percent, may be affected first.
Cities are not considering a return to the NT$1,280 plan and are urging the central government to treat the program as a continuing budget. The budget deadlock affects more than one million commuter trips each month and has become a key point of tension between central and local authorities.
第三則:伊朗反政府示威延燒!鎮壓造成大量死傷
伊朗反政府示威邁入第三週,起因為貨幣貶值與高通膨,現已演變為要求結束神權統治,官方鎮壓已導致 538 人喪命,逾萬人遭拘捕。
川普威脅採取軍事介入或擴大制裁,伊朗政府則警告若遭攻擊,將報復以色列與美軍基地,同時,流亡王儲巴勒維呼籲民眾持續抗爭,表示已準備回國領導民主轉型。
Iran Unrest Intensifies Nationwide! Violent Suppression Cause Mass Casualties
Iran’s anti-government protests have entered a third week, driven by currency decline and high inflation. The movement has grown into calls to end theocratic rule, while official crackdowns have killed 538 people and led to over 10,000 arrests.
Trump warned of possible military intervention or expanded sanctions. In response, the Iranian government said it would fight back against Israel and the U.S. military bases if attacked. At the same time, exiled Crown Prince Pahlavi urged people to continue protesting and said he was ready to return to lead a democratic transition.
