第一則：印度揚言斷水 引發巴基斯坦農民恐慌
印度控制的克什米爾日前發生武裝攻擊，造成26人喪命。印度隨即威脅要切斷印度河上游供水，令巴基斯坦農民感到恐慌。
巴基斯坦農民擔心若斷水，將導致農田變成沙漠。印度水資源部長表示，將確保印度河不再流入巴基斯坦，並計劃在未來幾個月內進行水資源調整。這一情勢可能加劇兩國間的緊張關係，並對巴基斯坦的農業和經濟造成深遠影響。
India Threatens Water Cut, Causing Panic Among Pakistani Farmers
Recently, an armed attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir resulted in 26 deaths. In response, India threatened to cut off water supply from the upstream of the Indus River, causing panic among Pakistani farmers.
They fear that a water cut will turn their fields into deserts. India’s Minister of Water Resources stated that they will ensure the Indus River no longer flows into Pakistan and plans to adjust water resources in the coming months. This situation may escalate tensions between the two countries and have a profound impact on Pakistan’s agriculture and economy.
第二則：川普支持度降至41% 創歷任就職百日新低
美國總統川普即將滿百日，最新民調顯示支持率僅41%，創下歷任總統就職百日的最低紀錄。許多民眾對他的經濟政策感到失望，尤其是通貨膨脹和關稅計劃引發的物價上漲，讓生活成本增加，支持度明顯下滑。
此外，對於外交政策上的友好姿態，特別是對俄羅斯的立場，也遭到廣泛反對，進一步削弱了公眾信任。目前的數據已顯示出他面臨的挑戰與壓力。
Trump's Approval Rating Drops to 41%, Setting a New Low for First 100 Days in History
U.S. President Donald Trump is approaching his 100th day in office. Recent polls show his approval rating is only 41%, the lowest for any president at this point. Many people are disappointed with his economic policies. Inflation and tariff plans have caused prices to rise, increasing the cost of living. This has led to a noticeable drop in support.
Additionally, his friendly stance on foreign policy, especially towards Russia, has faced widespread opposition. This has further weakened public trust. Current data clearly shows the challenges and pressures he is facing.
第三則：港澳人士在台定居面臨高薪門檻
港澳人士在台申請定居，需達到平均月薪超過勞動部公告最低工資的兩倍，約5.7萬元。陸委會表示，兼職收入可計入薪資，鼓勵港澳生利用語言優勢尋找適合的工作機會。
設定此門檻的背後考量是希望港澳生從事專業性工作，同時保護本國人就業權益。專家提醒，務必獲得工作許可，以免影響未來的申請資格。
High Salary Threshold for Hong Kong and Macau Residents to Settle in Taiwan
Hong Kong and Macau residents applying for residency in Taiwan must meet a salary threshold of twice the minimum wage announced by the Ministry of Labor, which is approximately NT$57,000. The Mainland Affairs Council states that income from part-time jobs can be included in this salary calculation, encouraging Hong Kong and Macau students to leverage their language skills to find suitable job opportunities.
The rationale behind this threshold is to ensure that these students engage in professional work while protecting the employment rights of local citizens. Experts remind applicants to obtain work permits to avoid affecting their future residency applications.
