Opposition legislators block the proposed 2026 budget for failing to provide approved pay raises to police, firefighters and soldiers. And in flood-ravaged Guangfu Township, students return to a school that is still sheltering survivors of the disaster. Also in today's show:
- Streamer Holger Chen is under investigation for using violent language in reference to President Lai Ching-te.
- Reporting from Reuters says the Chinese embassy in Manila is funding a social media influence campaign to spread propaganda.
- Elementary students at a school in southern Taiwan are learning Siraya, a revived Plains Indigenous language.
