[00:00:02] supported, supported
[00:00:05] the operation that we carried out, and then
[00:00:08] this afternoon there were two teams
[00:00:11] from the Shelvage Team that were coordinated by a new
[00:00:15] partner who just arrived and up until
[00:00:18] now they are still holding meetings and discussions regarding
[00:00:20] the steps to be taken. The tragedy of the capsized Virgo Transport
[00:00:24] 8 ship became a sorrow for everyone, all parties including the
[00:00:28] volunteers who worked together to help with the evacuation and search for the
[00:00:32] missing
[00:00:32] victims.
[00:00:36] The tragedy of the motor vessel Virgo Transport 8
[00:00:39] capsizing left sorrow for all Indonesian people.
[00:00:43] 243 people became victims of the incident that
[00:00:46] happened so quickly. Since
[00:00:49] the first day of the operation, the evacuation team immediately worked hard to map
[00:00:53] out the best strategy to immediately secure all
[00:00:56] victims. Including the story of the volunteers who
[00:01:00] sincerely gave their best energy in this rescue
[00:01:03] operation. Muhammad Rifqi, a volunteer who had
[00:01:07] just experienced his first SAR operation in the open sea, did
[00:01:10] not think that life would involve him in the
[00:01:14] search for hundreds of victims who were still trapped in the ship's
[00:01:18] hull. That
[00:01:22] yesterday departed from
[00:01:25] the port at 9 AM. We received
[00:01:28] news of the
[00:01:31] discovery. It was a bit late, I don't know the exact
[00:01:34] time, and
[00:01:37] then we immediately went to the location to
[00:01:41] transfer from
[00:01:43] KRI GNR to
[00:01:46] KN Kamajaya,
[00:01:48] Kamajaya Timsar. I myself
[00:01:52] felt a bit
[00:01:55] scared. There was a feeling of fear, because
[00:01:59] it was my first time evacuating
[00:02:02] people who had died in the water. Usually,
[00:02:06] the handling is on land, not
[00:02:09] in water, for my basic training. The fear
[00:02:13] was when lifting the bags,
[00:02:17] which really had to be done carefully.
[00:02:21] Although anxiety and fear briefly enveloped him, it did not stop
[00:02:24] Rifki's intention to actively help the
[00:02:27] SAR team. Even without seeing the faces
[00:02:30] of the victims, Rifki's feelings could not lie, experiencing
[00:02:34] deep sadness for the family
[00:02:36] members left behind. If you look at the
[00:02:40] about the impact, then the escalation condition of the bodies that were already wrapped,
[00:02:44] especially since it's already the sixth
[00:02:47] day, I
[00:02:51] feel concerned, seeing
[00:02:54] the condition of the bodies, even though I didn't see it
[00:02:57] directly. Not
[00:03:01] dedication was also shown by Batin Marta Nalar, also known
[00:03:05] as Tharik. This 30-year-old
[00:03:08] man, who has been a volunteer for 5 years, also helped in the
[00:03:11] rescue process of the Virgo ship
[00:03:14] victims. Thariq was shocked to hear about the
[00:03:18] tragic incident involving hundreds
[00:03:20] indeed a threat. Therefore, of people in the waters of the Java Sea. Was
[00:03:23] he surprised, sir? What kind of surprise was it at that time? Like, he didn't expect it or what?
[00:03:27] Didn't expect it, sir. Okay, you have been, sir. You have been a
[00:03:31] volunteer since the first day, helping to move the victims
[00:03:35] from the ship to land, okay. So, can you tell us what
[00:03:38] your daily tasks are? The tasks
[00:03:42] include evacuating, going
[00:03:45] into the ship, taking them out of the ship,
[00:03:49] then bringing them to the
[00:03:50] ambulance,
[00:03:53] complete with PPE, trying to contribute
[00:03:57] their best in transporting the bodies so that.
[00:04:39] a connection, at least
[00:05:04] Elkal with coral calcium from Okinawa, vitamin D3,
[00:05:08] K2 and K1, help maintain bone health today.
[00:05:42] It's time to switch
[00:05:46] to the innovative Uto Modex or
[00:05:48] Utodek roofing. Utodek roofing
[00:05:52] has grooves that are compatible with anti-splash
[00:05:55] and leak-proof roofs. Utodek
[00:05:59] roofing specializes in seamless roofs.
[00:06:02] Sometimes if a model feels
[00:06:05] that, oh, a model looks good in any clothes. Are there any
[00:06:09] contemporary music that you listen to? Yes, there is.
[00:06:12] Like Barasuara.
[00:06:16] There was a moment with Bung Hatta, right? But in the
[00:06:20] context of art, like Erwin Gutawa, for example,
[00:06:23] when he made Krisye, Kris Dayanti, I actually
[00:06:27] got the idea because I saw him practicing from the beginning. Q&A
[00:06:30] at 9 PM. This
[00:06:34] business is not just about
[00:06:37] transactions. Business is about opportunities,
[00:06:41] strategies, and the courage

[00:07:01] following times.
[00:07:04] Reality, every Saturday, 0.3
[00:07:07] AM.
[00:07:14] Viewers, Yon 462 Pasgad and Mandala
[00:07:17] Cops TNI Habema Task Force, under the control of Kogap Wilhan 3,
[00:07:21] arrested the leader of the KKB Papua Abdon Kisamdu at Nop Goliath
[00:07:24] Deka Yahukimo Airport, Papua Mountains. Abdon Kisambu
[00:07:28] was arrested while attempting to buy firearms for his group.
[00:08:02] The arrest of Wadan Yon TPNPB OPM
[00:08:05] Kodap 35 Bintang Timur at Nop Goliath Deka Yahu
[00:08:09] Kimo Airport, Papua Mountains, was carried out on Saturday, September 19,
[00:08:13] 2026. Shortly after disembarking from the plane,
[00:08:16] TNI personnel immediately arrested Abdon Kisamdu, who had been
[00:08:20] on the wanted list (DPO) of the National Police Headquarters
[00:08:23] for a long time. To TNI personnel, Abdon Kisamdu
[00:08:27] admitted that his purpose in Yahukimo was to buy a number
[00:08:30] of firearms from someone for
[00:08:32] his group.
[00:08:57] We received information about the whereabouts
[00:09:01] of the National Police Headquarters
[00:09:04] DPO, so we secured the location
[00:09:07] at Novgoliat Airport and he had just landed
[00:09:10] from the Rigana R. Pax PKK YSC
[00:09:14] type B737500 aircraft. Shortly
[00:09:17] after he got off, we separated
[00:09:20] with a focus on the target, namely Abdon
[00:09:23] Kisamdu, and successfully
[00:09:26] arrested him. From the results
[00:09:30] of a quick examination in the field, information was obtained
[00:09:33] that he was in the process of
[00:09:37] buying weapons in the Yahukimo area. Donki
[00:09:41] Samdu will be handed over to the local police. I remind
[00:09:44] all TPN PBB UPM members wherever you
[00:09:47] are, we, the TNI Police and all law
[00:09:51] enforcement officers in Eastern Indonesia, will continue to pursue and arrest
[00:09:55] all perpetrators of crimes against humanity in Papua, whether
[00:09:58] alive or dead. TNI
[00:10:01] Commander General TNI Agus Subianto emphasized the importance
[00:10:05] of collaboration between the TNI and ministries, institutions, and local
[00:10:08] governments in handling the conflict in Papua.
[00:10:20] According to him, collaboration will support the operations carried out
[00:10:24] by the TNI. Considering that Papua is a very vast
[00:10:27] region with many mountains. Collaboration
[00:10:30] between the TNI and ministries, institutions, and local governments
[00:10:34] is very much needed in handling the Papua conflict.
[00:10:53] Empty, bro, empty, bro.
[00:10:56] The body is already burned
[00:10:59] completely. We have already
[00:11:03] deployed units
[00:11:05] in Papua. Indeed, Papua's
[00:11:09] territory is very vast, and
[00:11:13] it's very large. The territory
[00:11:15] consists of extreme
[00:11:19] mountains, and to resolve Papua, I
[00:11:22] think it's not just up to the TNI. Everyone must collaborate,
[00:11:26] local governments, ministries, because there
[00:11:30] are still the same issues in all
[00:11:33] regions, viewers. The rain that fell on Bogor
[00:11:37] on Saturday night caused the water level of the Pasar Baru Cisadane
[00:11:40] dam to rise. However, the height is still in the safe
[00:11:43] category. For more information, what are you waiting for? With
[00:11:46] Grandma
[00:11:48] says.
[00:12:04] The rain that fell on the Bogor area on Saturday night
[00:12:08] brought a fairly strong current from the upstream, namely Batu
[00:12:11] Belah, towards the Cisadane River, Tangerang. Monitored at the
[00:12:15] downstream point, namely the Pasar Baru Dam, the average water
[00:12:18] level increased from 10 meters to 12 meters. Farmers
[00:12:22] and industrial players around the river immediately utilized
[00:12:26] the water from the Cisadane River for rice field irrigation and production activities.
[00:12:47] The current condition at the front fiscal elevation
[00:12:50] at 12:30 is still safe, still
[00:12:52] normal.
[00:12:55] Then, sir, from yesterday, during the dry season,
[00:12:58] what was the lowest water level at this new market dam, sir?
[00:13:02] Yesterday, the lowest range was at 1095.
[00:13:05] That was for about
[00:13:08] a month.
[00:13:11] The Katulampa Dam in Bogor, West Java, experienced a decrease in water discharge due to
[00:13:15] the dry season. The water level reached its lowest level,
[00:13:18] making the riverbed clearly visible and covered with
[00:13:21] rocks and mud. Here's a report.
[00:13:25] Metro TV journalist Randy Alfaras and cameraman Ridwan Bima from Katulampa Dam,
[00:13:29] Bogor, West Java. Viewers, currently I am at the
[00:13:33] Kantulampa Dam in Bogor City to monitor the latest
[00:13:36] water discharge conditions of the Katulampa Dam, especially
[00:13:39] throughout the dry season, which is reported to have decreased
[00:13:43] more than usual. The information is that in normal
[00:13:47] situations, the water discharge height in this dam is around
[00:13:50] 10 to 40 centimeters. However, throughout
[00:13:54] this dry season, the number has significantly decreased, viewers. In fact,
[00:13:57] the officers who monitor the water discharge
[00:14:00] of the Katulampa Dam mentioned that the water
[00:14:03] discharge height or the water surface height of the Katulampa Dam
[00:14:07] during this dry season has been fluctuating, ranging from 0
[00:14:11] to 10 centimeters. You can see, viewers, next
[00:14:15] to me, how the current condition of the Katulampa Dam is. The
[00:14:18] extremely low water surface height has caused
[00:14:22] the bottom surface of
[00:14:25] the Ciliwung River to be visible, viewers. In fact, not
[00:14:27] only the ground surface,
[00:14:31] but also the rocks in the Ciliwung
[00:14:35] River flow are clearly visible, which cannot
[00:14:38] be seen directly
[00:14:42] when normal conditions occur. However, during this long
[00:14:45] dry season, the bottom of the
[00:14:48] Ciliwung River surface can be clearly seen. Indeed, the
[00:14:51] BMKG stated that this dry season will last
[00:14:55] for 3 to 7 months, especially this year, the dry season
[00:14:59] will last quite long, and its peak will occur
[00:15:02] in October. And in September, seeing the condition of the Ciliwung
[00:15:06] River at the Katulampa Dam, where the water level has
[00:15:09] already experienced a significant decrease, even reaching
[00:15:12] the 0 centimeter
[00:15:15] mark. Of course, many people also take advantage of this moment
[00:15:19] by fishing in the Ciliwung River
[00:15:23] at the Katulampa Dam. However, due to the
[00:15:27] decrease or low water surface height at the Katulampa
[00:15:30] Dam, it also causes a lack of water
[00:15:34] supply for the community, especially for household water
[00:15:37] needs and also for the irrigation
[00:15:40] supply for the community. Indeed, the
[00:15:43] rainfall in the last few days has also been relatively low, ranging from 0
[00:15:47] to 150 mm, which was
[00:15:49] also mentioned by the monitoring officer
[00:15:52] from the Katulampa Dam monitoring post, stating
[00:15:56] that in the last few days, it had rained and the
[00:15:59] water surface height of the Katulampa Dam had increased, but in
[00:16:03] the last few days, it has indeed experienced a drastic decrease, just like
[00:16:07] other normal dry seasons. And indeed,
[00:16:10] so far, the Katulampa Dam monitoring post continues to
[00:16:14] monitor the water discharge height of the
[00:16:17] Katulampa Dam and is also making
[00:16:20] efforts to mitigate by urging the community to
[00:16:23] save water,
[00:16:26] especially for household water needs and also for the agricultural
[00:16:30] irrigation sector which is very dependent
[00:16:33] on the river water supply. Of course, the
[00:16:37] officers will continue to monitor and inform the public
[00:16:40] about the update on the water discharge height at the
[00:16:44] Katulampa Dam in Bogor City. From Bogor,
[00:16:48] Randialfaras TV viewers, the Yemeni
[00:16:52] Ansarullah resistance movement attacked the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh.
[00:16:55] One of the attacks caused a fire at King Khalid
[00:16:59] International Airport. Information and discussion will be presented shortly.

[00:19:36] Q&A with Jai Subjekto, exclusively on Metro
[00:19:40] TV.
[00:19:46] Welcome back to Metro Today, viewers. The Yemeni
[00:19:49] Ansarullah resistance movement announced an attack targeting the Saudi
[00:19:53] Arabian capital, Riyadh. One of the attacks caused a fire at
[00:19:57] King Khalid International
[00:19:58] Airport.
[00:20:09] Several explosions were heard, and black smoke was seen billowing
[00:20:12] from the direction of King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi
[00:20:16] Arabia. Yemen's Ansarullah also stated that they had attacked facilities
[00:20:20] belonging to the Saudi energy giant Aramco in the city of Yanbu. This
[00:20:23] is the first time the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, has been
[00:20:27] targeted by Yemen's Ansarullah since the conflict reignited in July.
[00:20:31] The military spokesman for Yemen's Ansarullah, Yahya Saree,
[00:20:35] stated that they had launched attacks with.
[00:21:14] Khamis Mushait
[00:21:16] and Taif, which have reached 732
[00:21:37] Oil in Aden, Yemen, faces significant security challenges
[00:21:40] as tensions escalate between the Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement
[00:21:44] and Saudi-backed
[00:21:45] forces.
[00:21:48] Ships are seen in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen.
[00:21:52] Ansarullah Yemen expanded their reach to the strategic maritime point,
[00:21:55] the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait,
[00:21:58] and threatened Saudi oil exports. Container ships and
[00:22:01] oil tankers continue to pass through. Ansarullah Yemen
[00:22:05] also said they only target ships
[00:22:07] linked to Saudi Arabia. However, a decrease in
[00:22:11] traffic has been reported
[00:22:13] over the past week.
[00:22:30] Viewers, the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Ansarullah resistance
[00:22:34] group in Yemen is heating up. Recently, Ansarullah Yemen's
[00:22:37] missiles and drones reportedly attacked the Saudi Arabian capital,
[00:22:41] Riyadh, in retaliation for Saudi Arabian airstrikes on Ansarullah
[00:22:44] Yemen's bases. This escalation is predicted to further increase
[00:22:48] pressure on the global economy as a result of several blockades
[00:22:51] of strategic crude oil routes. Will the conflict between Ansarullah
[00:22:55] Yemen and Saudi Arabia prolong while the war between the United
[00:22:59] States, Israel, and Iran has not yet ended? To discuss
[00:23:03] this, we are joined by Middle East Analyst Hasibullah Satrawi.
[00:23:06] Good afternoon, Mr. Hasib. Thank you for joining us on Metro Today.
[00:23:10] Good afternoon, Ms. Marcel. Thank you also for the
[00:23:13] invitation. Okay, Mr. Hasib, if we look
[00:23:16] at the escalation that is happening between Saudi Arabia and the
[00:23:20] Ansarullah Yemeni group, what is its impact on the stability
[00:23:24] of the Gulf region today?
[00:23:26] Yes, of course, if we talk
[00:23:30] between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia will
[00:23:34] increasingly add complexity, vulnerability, and
[00:23:37] at the same time, add to the burden
[00:23:41] of this war, because once again,
[00:23:44] this escalation is happening at a time that I describe
[00:23:48] as being like a football
[00:23:50] match. "The war between Iran and America, I would say, is now entering
[00:23:54] the final minutes or last minutes
[00:23:57] of normal time before November.
[00:24:01] If we read from the beginning, Ms. Marcel, this is considered to be from February
[00:24:04] 28th, the war between Iran and America first, right? We'll
[00:24:08] break it down. There, Iran was indeed lagging,
[00:24:11] but then it managed to catch up, which eventually
[00:24:15] led to a feeling of victory. And in the remaining time like this,
[00:24:18] it then becomes a pressure for
[00:24:22] Iran, especially to immediately secure victory in this
[00:24:25] normal time, because if it goes into extra time after
[00:24:29] November, I think it's very speculative. So, it's
[00:24:32] not surprising that in the remaining time
[00:24:36] of normal time, I see both sides, including what's
[00:24:39] happening between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, as
[00:24:42] part of the escalation that's
[00:24:46] happening in the last minutes of normal time, where from
[00:24:50] Iran's side, I see a change in tactics from
[00:24:53] defensive to offensive, while from America's side,
[00:24:57] they are also changing tactics by
[00:25:00] withdrawing or disguising
[00:25:03] Israel from this war, and then what's really
[00:25:07] emerging is Saudi Arabia. Of course, it's
[00:25:10] a bit complex in itself because
[00:25:13] Saudi Arabia's involvement in the Houthi-Yemen war
[00:25:16] has become like a
[00:25:19] sub-conflict or a separate
[00:25:22] conflict. But overall, I think we can
[00:25:25] still understand it as
[00:25:29] between the actors and perhaps also the strategies
[00:25:32] that the parties involved in the two major
[00:25:36] wars are trying to play. But then,
[00:25:40] politically, I think they are deliberately trying
[00:25:43] to separate it for those who have interests, for example, from
[00:25:46] Iran's side. But politically, they also want
[00:25:50] it to be considered one. At least, from Saudi's side, it shows
[00:25:54] me that this war is chronologically separate,
[00:25:57] at least, because they have their own stories. But in
[00:26:01] a situation like now, it's like there's some
[00:26:04] orchestration in tactics and
[00:26:07] strategy so that it will create stronger pressure
[00:26:11] on each opponent. For example,
[00:26:14] with the escalation happening in Houthi now, then
[00:26:18] for Iran, it can create stronger pressure
[00:26:21] on the United States, because that means
[00:26:25] oil limitations, stronger access limitations for
[00:26:28] the global community, which ultimately will have an impact
[00:26:31] on domestic America. Therefore, we can understand if
[00:26:35] the American side holds a direct meeting with
[00:26:38] the Houthis while the Houthis themselves are at war with Saudi Arabia,
[00:26:42] which is an ally of the United States, Ms.
[00:26:45] Marcel. Yes, regarding
[00:26:48] the meeting that just took place with the United States
[00:26:52] and also Houthi, there is also a statement from the Trump
[00:26:55] administration that the United States will not interfere to support
[00:26:59] Saudi Arabia, which is its ally, including not
[00:27:02] supporting it militarily. Do you think the United States'
[00:27:05] stance will be consistent, Mr. Hasib?
[00:27:09] Yes, that's also part of what I said earlier. The statements
[00:27:13] in front of the screen are almost the same as Iran's statements
[00:27:16] that the war between Saudi Arabia and Houthi is their
[00:27:20] war, so it seems unrelated. This is similar
[00:27:23] to America's statement that it will not
[00:27:26] interfere in this war,
[00:27:30] especially since it has received assurances from...
[00:27:34] that they will not be attacked, even Israel will not
[00:27:38] be attacked. Therefore, as I said earlier, on the surface,
[00:27:41] there is some effort to separate one war from another,
[00:27:45] but behind the scenes, I strongly suspect that
[00:27:49] these parties are all playing each other
[00:27:52] to win their cards, to win their negotiations,
[00:27:56] because if we read the latest developments,
[00:27:59] it is reported that President Trump is accelerating
[00:28:03] his holiday, and this again
[00:28:06] could lead to speculation about what will be done.
[00:28:10] There are three scenarios that are widely discussed by observers
[00:28:14] in the region. The first is that the current situation
[00:28:18] might last until November, provided
[00:28:21] there is no stronger pressure on America and
[00:28:25] Trump and the Republican Party want to win the election
[00:28:29] later. Or the second option is to escalate
[00:28:32] the war to a 28 February-like war,
[00:28:36] where the targets are more massive,
[00:28:39] and, of course, we see Iran's statements, including
[00:28:43] showcasing public support for
[00:28:46] engaging in total war, which can be understood in that context.
[00:28:50] The third scenario is the possibility of an attack
[00:28:53] on Iran's nuclear facilities, which, once again,
[00:28:57] would serve as proof for President Trump to justify the
[00:29:00] war option he took. President Trump has stated
[00:29:04] repeatedly that this option is being taken to ensure
[00:29:07] that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons. And with Iran
[00:29:11] proving capable of countering American attacks, even
[00:29:14] countering Israeli attacks, this is used as strong
[00:29:18] evidence to the American public that Iran is
[00:29:23] in the end, politically, President Trump wants
[00:29:26] to be justified by his public that his war is
[00:29:30] a war for
[00:29:32] heroism, which is to ensure peace and prevent Iran
[00:29:36] from having nuclear weapons. In that context, these three
[00:29:40] scenarios will likely develop in the next
[00:29:43] few hours, which are currently being widely
[00:29:46] discussed regarding President
[00:29:50] Trump cutting short his weekend holiday
[00:29:53] this week, Ms. Marcel. Yes,
[00:29:57] Mr. Hasib, in addition to the United States, Saudi
[00:30:00] Arabia is also reported to be opening communication with
[00:30:04] China, hoping that China will convey to Iran to
[00:30:07] restrain the Houthis at this time. Will this approach be
[00:30:10] effective?
[00:30:13] I think that's what I meant, this is extremely complex
[00:30:17] with the involvement of Saudi
[00:30:20] Arabia or the entry of Saudi Arabia into
[00:30:23] the arena, although I said, Ms. Marcel, this is as a result of the change of two
[00:30:27] tactics, each one has hopes but also has
[00:30:31] challenges. I'll mention the change of two tactics, if we look at Iran's side, I
[00:30:34] always say, Iran in these very critical times
[00:30:38] changed its tactics from defensive to offensive
[00:30:42] and the developments in Houthi with Saudi Arabia, in my opinion, can be understood
[00:30:45] in that context, although this is behind the scenes, because publicly
[00:30:49] at least they don't want to say there is
[00:30:52] a connection with this conflict, but behind the scenes, the escalation between
[00:30:56] Houthi and Saudi Arabia is part of the change.
