The prospect of Taiwan's two main opposition parties joining forces on a combined ticket for January's presidential election may be drawing nearer after Kuomintang candidate Hou Yu-ih extended an offer of talks to his Taiwan People's Party rival Ko Wen-je. A European Union investment forum in Taipei has underlined how Taiwan's business ties with the EU are strong but could be stronger. And flight attendants working for EVA Air have appealed to President Tsai Ing-wen with demands for better protection against sexual harassment at work. Also:
- Taiwan's export orders were up 3.4% in September, ending 12 consecutive months of negative growth.
- Nurses in Taipei donned Halloween costumes as they protested the "hellish" conditions they have to endure in their line of work.
- Conservationists are concern about threats to Taiwan's coral reefs -- an essential but delicate ecosystem.
