Good
evening at 7:00 o'clock. I'm Eric Gowin, time for easy news on icrt. In local
news, a Taiwan official says that free trade agreements, or FTA's are not
the only vehicles for regional integration. Council for Economic Planning
and Development Minister in Chi Ming says that other forms of
cooperative partnerships can also boost bilateral ties. He made the
statements at an international conference held to mark 10 years of
Taiwan's participation in the World Trade Organization. He said that
Taiwan is now at a critical juncture. And its economic development and
needs to open up to the world through innovative approaches. A
Japanese scholar concurred, saying that educational exchange programs,
investment treaties and open skies packs can also bring two countries
closer together. 45 Taiwanese nationals suspected of taking part in two
Philippines based telephone fraud wings were deported back to Taiwan
today. The suspects, who were arrested immediately after arriving at Tao
Taiwan Tari International Airport, will be subject to a criminal
investigation. The 45 were among 72 Taiwanese nationals and six Chinese
suspects who were arrested in Davao in May. April, after Taiwanese and
Filipino police raided their headquarters, Duval prosecutors decided not
to indict them. Lighting insufficient evidence and it was decided that the
72 Taiwanese nationals would be deported back to Taiwan. The remaining

27 Taiwanese nationals are expected to be deported at a later date after
raising enough money to cover their travel expenses. In World News,
Prime Minister Yasuhiko Noda of Japan says the country must restart
two nuclear reactors to protect the economy and people's livelihoods.
Notice said today in a news conference broadcast live to the nation that
the government has taken ample measures to ensure the safety of the
two reactors at the Ohai nuclear plant in western Japan. All 50 workable
reactors in Japan are offline for maintenance and safety concerns.
Restarting them has been a public concern because of the Fukushima.
Disaster last year. Notice government is desperately seeking to gain
public support to restart the reactors to avert a summertime energy
crunch. China has cut state set gasoline and diesel prices for a second
time in a month as it tries to reverse a sharp slowdown in the world's
second largest economy. The reduction comes a day after an interest
rate cut. The government has promised to pump money into the
economy through more spending on public works projects and by
encouraging corporate investment. This latest cut will reduce the retail
price of the most commonly used grade of gasoline by just over 5%. The
US envoy on North Korean human rights issues says that political and
economic reforms unfolding in Myanmar are a great example for North
Korea to follow. Robert King says that if North Korea took similar steps
to Myanmar, the international community would probably respond
favorably as it has with Myanmar. In the wake of President Jensen's
reforms in Myanmar, Western nations have eased sanctions imposed
during the previous military regimes repressive rule, and investors and

tourists have begun flocking to the country. King says that if Pyongyang
moved in positive directions that it will allow the International Atomic
Energy Agency to monitor the country's nuclear program, then there
could be positive movement in other directions as well. Switzerland
Supreme Court has partly overturned a ruling that would have forced
Google to guarantee absolutely absolute anonymity for people pictured
in its popular Street View service. The Swiss Federal Tribunal says
Googles, automatic blurring of faces and license plates can have a 1%
margin of error, except in sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals and
courts. However, the tribunal upheld the federal administrative court's
ruling last year that Google must stop publishing pictures of private
gardens. Taken with cameras positioned above head height, Google
welcomed the ruling in a statement, but left open whether it would not
now withdraw its threat to remove all pictures of Switzerland from
Street View. In other tech news, two more tech firms have announced
that customer passwords have been compromised. Quinn Bowman says
the breaches are reminder of how much personal information is at risk.
Just days after Russian hackers posted to a web forum at least 6.5
million user passwords from LinkedIn, last FM and eHarmony admitted
that they too had lost control of some unspecified number of
passwords. Security consultant Rick Redmond told the tech blog Ars
Technica that the hackers likely have many more passwords than the
eHarmony and LinkedIn. Ones they posted online, incidents of tech firms
not properly safeguarding customer data are a reminder that with the
proliferation of useful, always accessible online applications come the

reality that a user's personal information is now in the hands of a
company that may or may not keep it safe. And if a user has the same
password for all their online services, the breach of 1 service affects the
rest. For Icrt news in Oakland, CA, I'm Quinn Bowman. Taiwan Weather
