Taiwan’s venerable RF-5E fighter jets are taking off one last time, as the country bids farewell to the aircraft that has been in service for nearly five decades. U.S. President Donald Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill” now heads to his desk, after narrowly passing the U.S. House. And high temperatures hit several parts of Taiwan, causing a rise in heat stroke cases. Also:
- An annual swimming contest between Taiwan’s Kinmen islands and China’s coastal city of Xiamen faces possible cancellation, as concerns grow over Beijing’s "united front” campaign.
- The popular text-based social media app Threads faces scrutiny in Taiwan after authorities received nearly 2,000 reports of suspected scams since last September.
- A pod of about 30 tropical bottlenose whales has been spotted off eastern Taiwan, the first sighting in decades.
