第一則:川普重啟封鎖伊朗 荷莫茲海峽擬收 20% 過路費
阿拉伯聯合大公國表示,伊朗攻擊荷莫茲海峽兩艘油輪,造成 1 人死亡、8 人受傷。美國總統川普隨後宣布,自 7 月 15 日起重啟對伊朗港口的海上封鎖,並對通過荷莫茲海峽的非伊朗商船收取貨物價值的 20% 作為維安費。
伊朗回應,將持續守護荷莫茲海峽,並批評美方介入區域事務。國際海事組織則指出,依照現行國際法,並沒有對通行國際海峽強制收取過路費的法律依據。
Trump Restarts Iran Blockade, Plans 20% Toll in Strait of Hormuz
The United Arab Emirates said Iran attacked two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one person and injuring eight others. U.S. President Donald Trump then announced that the United States would restart its naval blockade of Iranian ports on July 15. The United States also plans to charge non-Iranian commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz a security fee equal to 20% of the value of their cargo.
Iran responded that it would continue to protect the Strait of Hormuz and criticized U.S. involvement in regional affairs. However, the International Maritime Organization said that current international law provides no legal basis for charging mandatory tolls to ships passing through an international strait.
第二則:世界盃四強出爐 法國成最大奪冠熱門
今年世界盃四強確定由法國、西班牙、英格蘭與阿根廷爭奪冠軍。法國將對上西班牙,英格蘭則迎戰阿根廷,這也是世界盃賽史上第 3 次出現四強全由歷屆冠軍組成的情況。
知名的體育數據分析公司 Opta 預測法國奪冠機率高達 34.05%;台灣運彩也將法國列為最大熱門。阿根廷在 Opta 排名墊底,但在運彩賠率中仍優於英格蘭,顯示兩套預測對梅西與衛冕軍的看法不同。
World Cup Semifinals Set, France Becomes the Top Title Favorite
The World Cup semifinals will feature France, Spain, England, and Argentina. France will face Spain, while England will play Argentina. This is also the third time in World Cup history that all four semifinalists have been former champions.
Opta, a well-known sports data company, gives France a 34.05% chance of winning the title. Taiwan Sports Lottery Company also lists France as the favorite. Argentina ranks last in Opta’s prediction, but its betting odds are still better than England’s. The difference shows that the two systems rate Lionel Messi and the defending champions differently.
第三則:蘋果農藥標準惹議 食藥署澄清不是放寬
衛福部修正蘋果農藥「芬普寧」殘留容許量標準,引發外界質疑是否放寬限制。食藥署表示,這次是將蘋果由原本適用的類別標準,改為個別殘留標準,並經過多年科學評估符合國際做法,並非放寬標準。
食藥署也澄清,社群流傳的「芬普尼」與這次修正的「芬普寧」是不同物質。芬普尼屬於環境用藥,不得使用於農作物。食藥署呼籲民眾勿散播不實訊息,違者最高可處 3 年有期徒刑或 100 萬元罰金。
Apple Pesticide Standard Sparks Debate, Taiwan Food and Drug Administration Says It Is Not Loosening the Standard
Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare revised the pesticide residue limit for fenpropathrin in apples, raising questions about whether the rule had been relaxed. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration said the change moves apples from a general category standard to a separate residue limit. The agency added that the new limit was based on years of scientific review, matches international practice, and does not mean the rule was loosened.
The agency also clarified that fenpropathrin is different from fipronil, which has appeared in online claims. Fipronil is an environmental pesticide and cannot be used on crops. The agency urged the public not to spread false information. Violators may face up to three years in prison or a fine of up to NT$1 million.
第四則:手刷抹茶爆紅 大稻埕掀起抹茶熱潮
近年手刷抹茶快速走紅,台北大稻埕陸續迎來多家抹茶專門店,包括京都品牌八十八良葉舍台灣首店與多家特色茶飲品牌,吸引許多民眾前往體驗,也帶動抹茶話題持續升溫。
手刷抹茶結合日式茶文化、現場製作體驗與社群分享,讓喝茶不只是品嚐飲品,更成為一種生活風格。隨著抹茶需求持續增加,台灣茶品牌也開始推出手刷茶飲,搶攻這波茶飲新商機。
Whisked Matcha Booms as Dadaocheng Becomes a Matcha Hotspot
Whisked matcha has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many matcha specialty stores have recently opened in Taipei’s Dadaocheng area, including the first Taiwan branch of Kyoto’s Hatoya Ryoyousha and several other tea brands. These new stores have attracted many visitors and helped drive growing interest in matcha.
Whisked matcha combines Japanese tea culture, live preparation, and social media sharing. Drinking tea has become more than simply enjoying a beverage. It has also become a lifestyle experience. As demand for matcha continues to grow, Taiwanese tea brands are also introducing hand-whisked tea drinks to capture new business opportunities in the tea market.
第五則:日本零食包裝變成黑白色?是受中東危機波及
日本休閒食品品牌卡樂比於 6 月時率先在北海道供應黑白包裝零食,主因是中東局勢影響航運,導致彩色油墨所需的石腦油供應不穩。
可果美、全家與唐吉軻德等品牌也陸續跟進,減少包裝用色。雖然日本政府強調總量足夠,但企業更在意能否即時取得原料。這場危機也讓各界重新思考包裝是否需要如此精緻。
Japanese snack packaging turns black and white? Affected by the Middle East crisis
Japanese snack brand Calbee led the way in June by supplying black-and-white packaged snacks in Hokkaido, mainly because the situation in the Middle East has affected shipping, leading to an unstable supply of the naphtha required for colored printing ink.
Brands such as Kagome, FamilyMart, and Don Quijote have also followed by reducing the use of colors in their packaging. Although the Japanese government emphasizes that the total supply is sufficient, enterprises care more about whether they can obtain the raw materials in real time. This crisis has also prompted various sectors to rethink whether packaging really needs to be so exquisite.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The U.S. plans to restart its naval blockade of Iranian ports and charge a 20% security fee, while Iran opposed U.S. control and the International Maritime Organization questioned the legality of the fee.
France is the top World Cup title favorite, while Opta and Taiwan Sports Lottery Company rank Argentina and England differently.
The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration said the new apple pesticide limit follows scientific and international standards, while warning that false claims could lead to legal penalties.
The growing popularity of whisked matcha is creating new business opportunities while turning tea into a unique cultural and lifestyle experience.
Japan’s shift toward black-and-white packaging shows how Middle East tensions are affecting supply chains and pushing companies to rethink colorful product design.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
