[00:00:02] but cannot be accepted, according to him,
[00:00:04] the substance of the case has not been examined by
[00:00:07] the court.
[00:00:09] Proyo also stated that he respected the court's decision and asserted
[00:00:13] that he would continue legal efforts by re-submitting
[00:00:16] the application after completing the parties
[00:00:19] deemed lacking by the court
[00:00:20] judge.
[00:00:39] area. The Strait of Hormuz, which
[00:00:55] finalized a draft agreement that
[00:02:08] those who are full of questions, who
[00:02:12] choose to remain silent. We must remember that power
[00:02:15] belongs to the people, sovereignty is the sovereignty of the people. We
[00:02:19] must exercise power for the benefit of the people. This is the place for
[00:02:22] policy makers to answer all questions,
[00:02:25] as well as a space for the people to understand their value to
[00:02:29] the country. Indonesia's priority every Monday to

[00:02:33] PM.
[00:02:41] The prolonged dry season has begun to trigger drought in a number of regions,
[00:02:44] disrupting the agricultural sector and the availability of clean water for
[00:02:48] the community. In these conditions, farmers face the threat of crop
[00:02:52] failure, while the distribution of clean water aid continues to be carried out to
[00:02:55] meet the needs of affected
[00:02:57] residents.
[00:03:00] The prolonged dry season has caused 1084 hectares
[00:03:04] of rice fields in Polewali Mandar district, West Sulawesi, to experience
[00:03:07] drought. Data from the agriculture office recorded that affected land
[00:03:10] is spread across a number of sub-districts, including Binuang, Matakali,
[00:03:14] Mapili, and Tapango. In Pakandoang Hamlet, Kujang village,
[00:03:18] about 50 hectares of rainfed rice fields are confirmed to have failed
[00:03:21] to harvest after the rice plants, which were about 2 months old,
[00:03:25] died due to lack of water supply. This condition
[00:03:28] has caused farmers to experience...
[00:04:00] So, what is the condition of the rice fields here, sir?
[00:04:03] If the condition of the rice fields
[00:04:06] can no longer be saved,
[00:04:09] it is definitely a crop failure,
[00:04:12] a panic failure. The impact of El Nino has caused a number of
[00:04:15] rice fields in Lebak district, Banten, to experience drought due to
[00:04:19] drying irrigation canals. This condition forces farmers
[00:04:23] to harvest rice earlier, even though it has not yet entered the harvest season, to
[00:04:26] reduce greater losses in the village.
[00:04:30] In Rangkasbitung Timur village, the harvest dramatically decreased because
[00:04:33] many rice grains were not filled. In fact, one farmer
[00:04:37] admitted that his harvest production fell by almost 70%
[00:04:40] compared to the previous season.
[00:04:43] innovation presentations In addition to the lack of water supply, pest
[00:04:45] and cruise missiles attacks further worsen plant conditions. Farmers hope
[00:04:48] that the government will immediately provide solutions such as improving
[00:04:51] irrigation systems and providing water sources so that
[00:04:54] crop failure due to drought will not happen
[00:04:57] again. Why did it decrease?
[00:05:01] Dry season. Oh, so the yield decreased by how many percent
[00:05:04] compared to before? How many percent? About
[00:05:08] 7%, 70%? Oh, it's a drastic drop.
[00:05:11] The results are bad now. Bad. So the results
[00:05:15] are bad, right? Why are they bad, sir?
[00:05:17] And there's no water.
[00:05:21] Oh, the TNI, together with the Semarang city PDAM, distributed
[00:05:25] 10,000 liters of clean water or two tanks to
[00:05:28] residents affected by drought in Jabungan Urban Village, Banyumanik sub-district,
[00:05:31] Semarang city, Central Java. This aid is focused on
[00:05:35] RW 4, which is the most affected area. Meanwhile, overall,
[00:05:39] about 1,000 people in RW 3, 4, and
[00:05:42] 5 are experiencing a water crisis due to drying wells and rivers
[00:05:46] during the dry season. Without aid, some residents are forced
[00:05:50] to search for water in rivers or take turns using wells that still
[00:05:53] have limited discharge. This clean water aid is estimated
[00:05:57] to only meet the needs of residents for 3 to 4 days,
[00:06:00] so distribution will continue to be adjusted to conditions on
[00:06:04] the ground. The government also urges the public to conserve
[00:06:07] water use during the dry
[00:06:08] season.
[00:06:12] Forest and land fires in a number of regions in Indonesia continue to spread
[00:06:16] with the ongoing dry season. In addition to
[00:06:18] burning hundreds of hectares of land, forest and land fires also claim
[00:06:21] lives, trigger haze and make firefighting efforts difficult on
[00:06:25] the ground.
[00:06:29] Forest and land fires in the Mount Bromo savanna continue to spread
[00:06:33] due to strong winds and dry vegetation during the dry
[00:06:36] season. The fire that previously burned the Bantengan Hill area in
[00:06:40] Lumajang Regency has now reached the border of the Watangan
[00:06:44] Valley Savanna or Teletubbies Hill in
[00:06:46] Probolinggo Regency, East Java. A joint team consisting of TNI,
[00:06:50] Polri, BPBD, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Agency,
[00:06:54] and residents continue to try to extinguish the fire using
[00:06:57] simple equipment because the terrain is difficult to reach.
[00:07:01] Residents also use gebyok from tree trunks to hold back
[00:07:04] the spread of the fire. Until now, the burnt area is estimated
[00:07:08] to reach 50 hectares and still has the potential to increase due to the blaze.
[00:07:45] mentioned that two residents were victims in the incident,
[00:07:48] with one person successfully rescued and treated in the hospital.
[00:07:51] Until now, the forest and land fires that occurred in a number of
[00:07:55] sub-districts in Ketapang Regency still cannot be controlled.
[00:07:59] The BPBD requested additional helicopters from the BNPB to
[00:08:03] strengthen firefighting efforts through the air.
[00:08:06] That brother Taufiq, yes, by chance
[00:08:10] he wanted to...
[00:08:12] go home from work, so in the fog,
[00:08:16] fire, smoke, he broke through,
[00:08:19] maybe he wanted to go home quickly, he
[00:08:22] fell, this is the initial information we received, maybe
[00:08:26] he lacked oxygen,
[00:08:29] on the left and right sides of the road there was fire, so he fell, and
[00:08:33] finally he died in
[00:08:36] the fire. Forest and land fires in Palangkaraya
[00:08:40] City, Central Kalimantan.
[00:08:42] So almost every day, and starting to spread to residential
[00:08:46] areas. Joint officers continue to carry out extinguishing until night,
[00:08:49] but these efforts are hampered by a lack of
[00:08:52] water sources and the very dry peatland conditions due to the dry
[00:08:56] season. Based on data from the Palangkaraya City BPBD
[00:08:59] until August 5, 2026,
[00:09:02] 151 incidents of forest and land fires were recorded, with a total burnt
[00:09:06] area reaching 162.49
[00:09:09] hectares. The impact of the fires also caused.
[00:09:36] BMKG in June, approximately
[00:09:39] 48.8% of Indonesian land experienced...
[00:09:42] The peak of the dry season in August. Meanwhile, about
[00:09:46] 24% of other regions are estimated to only reach
[00:09:50] the peak of the dry season in September. The El Nino
[00:09:53] phenomenon in 2026 caused rainfall to be lower than
[00:09:57] normal conditions. As a result, the transition period to the rainy season
[00:10:00] is predicted to be delayed in various regions. BMKG
[00:10:03] stated that the end of the dry season does not occur simultaneously. The regions of
[00:10:07] Sumatra and Kalimantan generally end in September,
[00:10:11] while some...
[00:10:25] reminding areas prone to forest and land fires such as central and southern Sumatra
[00:10:28] and parts of Kalimantan to increase
[00:10:31] their
[00:10:32] vigilance.
[00:10:39] The end of the dry season is not uniform for all regions
[00:10:42] of Indonesia because various regions in Indonesia have
[00:10:46] different climatic characteristics. For example, if we look at
[00:10:50] the normal, the Sumatra region
[00:10:53] will experience the end of the dry season in September, as will most
[00:10:57] of Kalimantan. For
[00:11:00] Java, some will experience the end of the dry season in September,
[00:11:03] some in October and November. Meanwhile,
[00:11:06] the NTB and NTT regions usually end
[00:11:10] the dry season in December and January. In Sulawesi,
[00:11:13] for example, there are even regions that end the dry season in
[00:11:17] March. However, for the 2026 dry
[00:11:21] season, there is a high possibility that the end of the dry season
[00:11:25] will be delayed due to the El Nino phenomenon in 2026,
[00:11:28] causing rainfall to be
[00:11:32] less or lower compared to normal. More interesting information
[00:11:35] will be presented shortly, stay with us on Metro
[00:11:39] Siang.
[00:14:24] AM.
[00:14:39] Viewers, the Russian attack on Kyiv Ukraine has again increased the tension
[00:14:43] of the conflict between the two countries. In this latest attack, Ukraine admitted to failing
[00:14:47] to intercept the missiles launched by Russia and reported dozens of casualties and
[00:14:51] injuries. Fires occurred in a number of spots in Kyiv
[00:14:54] on Wednesday after Ukraine reported Russian attacks on
[00:14:58] its territory. Ukrainian authorities stated that 17 people
[00:15:02] were killed and 44 injured in this attack. The Ukrainian
[00:15:05] Air Force reported that it failed to intercept 28 ballistic
[00:15:10] launched by Russia in this attack. Meanwhile, the Russian
[00:15:14] Ministry of Defense claimed the attacks targeted military logistics
[00:15:17] centers, supply centers, and three cargo ships carrying
[00:15:20] weapons and military equipment near Odessa. This attack
[00:15:24] occurred several days after a Ukrainian drone
[00:15:28] crashed on the Russian coast and killed seven people, including three children.
[00:15:31] The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing since February
[00:15:34] 2022 and until now shows no signs of ending.
[00:15:51] hundreds of ships are still stuck in the Strait of Hormuz amid diplomatic efforts
[00:15:55] by Iran and Oman to reach an agreement to de-escalate tensions. This
[00:15:58] vital shipping lane for global energy distribution is under
[00:16:02] scrutiny because it impacts the global
[00:16:04] economy. Hundreds of cargo ships and...
[00:16:07] are still seen motionless in the Strait of Hormuz, along with pressure
[00:16:11] and military threats from Iran against ships passing through the
[00:16:16] is traversed by one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas distribution, is now
[00:16:20] experiencing disruptions. This condition is driving up fuel prices,
[00:16:24] basic commodity prices, and adding pressure to the global
[00:16:27] economy. On Wednesday, Iranian and Omani negotiators
[00:16:32] is expected to reduce tensions and reopen
[00:16:36] shipping access in the Strait of Hormuz. The draft is now
[00:16:39] awaiting final approval from Iran's supreme leader.
[00:16:43] This agreement will be a temporary step in de-escalating the
[00:16:46] dispute between Iran and the United States and continuing
[00:16:49] discussions related to Iran's nuclear program.
[00:17:03] The latest situation is that almost...
[00:18:07] night until Tuesday when the ship was about 640 nautical miles from
[00:18:11] the city of Lisbon. Authorities said they intercepted the ship at
[00:18:15] sea to prevent the perpetrators from transferring drugs to other ships
[00:18:19] in the Atlantic Ocean before reaching their final destination. In
[00:18:22] this operation, officers arrested three foreign nationals who were on board
[00:18:25] the ship. The three were citizens of Italy,
[00:18:29] Colombia, and India. Officers found
[00:18:31] most of the cocaine in the container, while the perpetrators
[00:18:35] hid some of the rest in the hold.
[00:19:19] helping colleagues at BNPB uh
[00:19:22] to see how many houses were affected, how many roads
[00:19:26] were cut off, how many schools were affected by rice fields and
[00:19:29] others that we will continue to monitor until
[00:19:32] 2028. You are watching
[00:19:36] Metro Breaking News.
[00:20:07] accelerate the achievement of priority government
[00:20:10] programs in various strategic
[00:20:12] sectors. We are currently witnessing that
[00:20:16] President Prabowo Subianto is still listening to several
[00:20:21] provided by Brin, and it is hoped that this
[00:20:24] can be one of the supports for various priority
[00:20:28] programs that we are currently developing, sir. When
[00:20:31] you, sir, the Minister of Defense, had already purchased the standard
[00:20:35] version for TNIAD, there were six
[00:20:37] of them, and when they were contracted to PT Dirgantara Indonesia,
[00:20:41] the first one is planned to be delivered at the end of the year. Well, we
[00:20:44] are developing that 19-passenger aircraft into an amphibious
[00:20:48] one so that it can land on water and reach remote islands.
[00:20:51] So we
[00:20:53] estimate that it will be able to be delivered to customers
[00:20:57] in 2029.
[00:20:59] Yes,
[00:21:01] if the standard one from Dirgantara Indonesia is around
[00:21:05] 10 million dollars, with the amphibious set it might be around
[00:21:09] 11.5 million dollars, sir. That's right,
[00:21:11] sir. 19 passengers.
[00:21:14] If it's standard 19 passengers, when it's amphibious, it will only be 5
[00:21:18] passengers, sir. There must be a reduction.
[00:21:29] with certification in early 2029,
[00:21:32] sir. Hopefully there will be
[00:21:33] an acceleration.
[00:21:42] Uh, allow me to explain, Mr. President,
[00:21:45] these are three technologies to support the GSW, sir. The
[00:21:48] first one is a vertical dike. Its function
[00:21:52] is to generate electricity and can be used as transportation on top, sir.
[00:21:56] And this breakwater is our own product, it's
[00:21:59] there, it's a breakwater and has been used in 11 beaches in Sumatra,
[00:22:03] sir.
[00:22:05] locations on the coasts of Java and Sumatra, sir. It's
[00:22:09] full concrete, sir.
[00:22:13] utilizing
[00:22:16] it, so it's more environmentally friendly, and we will also use it for geopolymers, sir.
[00:22:24] This is material technology, sir, utilizing plastic with
[00:22:28] sand, sir.
[00:22:31] five plastics with sand, sir. So it will be used to
[00:22:34] dampen low
[00:22:37] waves to help mangrove growth.
[00:23:02] of the work, if this is used as an alternative dike
[00:23:06] structure for the gene, sir. This is an example of the concept method,
[00:23:09] yes, it can also be electricity for street
[00:23:12] lights,
[00:23:16] which is cheaper,
[00:23:51] we are currently watching, viewers, where President Prabowo Subianto
[00:23:55] is still visiting several
[00:23:59] booths or research results that have been prepared
[00:24:02] by Brin to be shown directly to the President, and this
[00:24:06] relates to things that can later help
[00:24:09] how Brin's research can be developed and also
[00:24:13] utilized to support a number of priority government
[00:24:16] programs. Previously, we saw President Prabowo
[00:24:20] received a presentation related
[00:24:23] to technology and also Brin's research innovations in
[00:24:26] the field of aerospace and also aircraft. Then,
[00:24:30] we also witnessed President Prabowo Subianto also saw
[00:24:34] and also listened to a presentation related
[00:24:36] to waste management technology, which is indeed one of
[00:24:40] the priorities of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia
[00:24:43] under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto, who wants
[00:24:46] to tackle waste and make it a material
[00:24:50] or energy source. And currently, it is still
[00:24:53] ongoing, where not only President Prabowo Subianto
[00:24:57] but also several ministries present
[00:25:00] are also accompanying the President, there is Minister of HR Bahlil
[00:25:04] Hadaliya, then there are also several other
[00:25:07] ministers, Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin
[00:25:11] and also the Head of Brin,
[00:25:14] Arif Satria, who also accompanied the President
[00:25:18] in directly seeing how the innovations
[00:25:21] that have been carried out by Brin together with Brin's
[00:25:25] researchers can be utilized to
[00:25:29] the maximum.
[00:25:33] This meeting, viewers, has actually been going on
[00:25:36] for several hours, and what
[00:25:39] we are currently watching is one of
[00:25:42] the highlights of the meeting, where the President directly witnessed and
[00:25:46] listened to a presentation related to the results or research that has been...
[00:25:50] conducted by Brin. Some
[00:25:52] of the focuses, among others, are also related to government priority programs,
[00:25:56] including the Giant Sea Wall technology.
