[00:00:17] What is the long-term impact
[00:00:20] doctor for patients who continuously inhale this because some are
[00:00:24] disciplined and some are not, right? What is the
[00:00:27] long-term impact? Yes, so what I know and what I've learned
[00:00:31] is that for the particles that
[00:00:34] are produced from these forest fires are considered
[00:00:38] very small particles, right? That we know
[00:00:40] PM2.5 can unconsciously enter
[00:00:44] the smallest lung tissue called alveoli.
[00:00:48] Now when it reaches the alveoli, it is very likely that it
[00:00:51] will damage the lung
[00:00:54] tissues.
[00:00:57] The fire of forest and land fires is not merely fire. However, there are
[00:01:00] triggers, there are perpetrators and hundreds of thousands of hectares of land that
[00:01:04] have been burned. Beyond all that, there are also safety and
[00:01:08] lives that are threatened.
[00:01:11] Thoroughly investigate the causes and perpetrators to prevent
[00:01:14] the case from
[00:01:16] recurring.

[00:01:41] President Prabowo Subianto and Egyptian President Abdul Fattah LCC
[00:01:45] agreed to enhance cooperation in the field of education, including through
[00:01:48] the addition of scholarships for Indonesian students who wish to
[00:01:52] continue their studies in
[00:01:53] Egypt.
[00:01:58] The Indonesian government has communicated with Malaysia regarding
[00:02:02] the problem of haze caused by forest and land fires or
[00:02:05] Karhutla. Indonesia stated that it has deployed
[00:02:08] tens of thousands of personnel and dozens of air fleets to
[00:02:12] accelerate fire
[00:02:13] handling.
[00:02:20] Good afternoon, viewers. You are watching Indonesia's priority towards
[00:02:23] Golden Indonesia 2045. The latest
[00:02:26] information about government programs has been prepared for you.
[00:02:39] President Prabowo Subianto and Egyptian President Abdul Fattah LCC
[00:02:42] agreed to enhance cooperation in education, including through additional
[00:02:46] scholarships for Indonesian students who wish to pursue
[00:02:50] further studies in Egypt. This agreement is one of the
[00:02:53] results of the bilateral meeting between the two leaders at the Presidential
[00:02:56] Palace in Jakarta. In the meeting, Indonesia
[00:03:00] and Egypt agreed to strengthen educational and cultural ties that
[00:03:04] have been established. This cooperation
[00:03:06] includes increasing learning opportunities for Indonesian students in
[00:03:10] Egypt, student exchanges, university
[00:03:13] partnerships, and even research collaborations.
[00:03:16] President Prabowo said that educational relations between Indonesia and
[00:03:20] Egypt have been ongoing for a long time, one of which is through
[00:03:23] cooperation with
[00:03:24] universities.
[00:03:38] that the powder-shaped material implementing, we also want that
[00:03:41] the education of Indonesian students, Indonesian
[00:03:44] university students to Egypt
[00:03:48] be increased, but also we
[00:03:51] invite
[00:03:54] educational institutions from
[00:03:56] Egypt to come to Indonesia.
[00:04:00] By also sending
[00:04:03] lecturers and
[00:04:07] four Indonesian ABK who were teaching staff to Indonesia.
[00:04:11] In the future, Indonesia is ready to expand educational cooperation
[00:04:14] through student exchanges,
[00:04:18] partnerships between universities, joint
[00:04:21] research and exploring cooperation
[00:04:24] opportunities in other fields. We thank you for
[00:04:27] appreciating the offer.
[00:04:31] Egypt to provide additional
[00:04:34] scholarships
[00:04:37] especially in the fields of medicine,
[00:04:41] engineering and science. CEO
[00:04:43] of Indonesia's fund and also Minister of Investment and Industrialization
[00:04:47] Rosan Ruslani said that Egypt invited Danantara to cooperate
[00:04:51] in the industrialization of crude palm oil or CPO. According to Rosan,
[00:04:55] Egypt has prepared land for the construction of refinery
[00:04:58] facilities or CPO refinery.
[00:05:01] This was revealed by Rosan after
[00:05:04] the bilateral meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and Egyptian President
[00:05:08] Abdel Fattah LCC at the Presidential Palace Complex
[00:05:11] in Jakarta. Rosan mentioned that investment cooperation with
[00:05:15] Egypt is being explored together with the Egyptian Future Investment
[00:05:19] Fund or future wealth Fund. One
[00:05:23] of the plans is to build a CPO refinery facility in
[00:05:26] Egypt. According to Rosan, this cooperation opportunity is considered
[00:05:29] relevant. Given that Egypt has been a large importer of palm
[00:05:33] oil from Indonesia for a long time. In addition to
[00:05:37] the palm oil sector, investment cooperation between the two countries
[00:05:40] also has the potential to be developed into other areas that will
[00:05:44] be discussed further with the Egyptian Investment
[00:05:47] Minister. whom I respectfully
[00:05:50] agreed
[00:05:53] to strengthen cooperation, we will cooperate between
[00:05:57] with their future fund and
[00:06:00] also, eh, cooperation also
[00:06:03] in the field of palm
[00:06:07] oil CPO for us to look and land has been provided there
[00:06:10] to build a refinery and also
[00:06:12] palm oil because they also import a lot of palm oil from Indonesia.
[00:06:16] And also cooperation later in other
[00:06:19] fields, maybe that's it for now, I haven't
[00:06:22] spoken directly
[00:06:24] about investment
[00:06:27] oh, that's for up to 2030 for
[00:06:30] trade between the two countries is expected to be 5 billion US dollars by
[00:06:34] 2030. Armanata Nasir officially
[00:06:37] assumed his duties as Minister of Foreign Affairs after undergoing the handover
[00:06:41] ceremony from Sugiono at the Pancasila Building
[00:06:44] in Jakarta today. This leadership transition follows
[00:06:48] Sugiono's appointment as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs in the
[00:06:52] Red and White Cabinet. To find out more information, we will join
[00:06:55] Metro TV journalist Arneta Butarbutar directly from
[00:06:59] the State Palace, Jakarta. Arneta, how is Indonesia's
[00:07:02] diplomacy strategy on the International Stage under
[00:07:05] the command of the
[00:07:07] new Foreign Minister?
[00:07:10] Yes, Fabrian, good afternoon. Before we discuss the direction of Indonesian diplomacy
[00:07:14] under the command of the new Foreign Minister Armanata Nasir, earlier this morning
[00:07:18] around 10 AM, Armanata Nasir officially
[00:07:21] assumed the position of Indonesian Foreign Minister after carrying out the handover
[00:07:25] ceremony at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The handover
[00:07:28] ceremony began at 10 AM
[00:07:31] with the signing of the
[00:07:35] minutes and the handover of the final duty memorandum or blue book from
[00:07:38] the previous Foreign Minister Sugiino, who now serves as the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, and the
[00:07:42] blue book was given to
[00:07:45] Armanata Nasir as the new Indonesian Foreign Minister,
[00:07:49] where today Sugiino is no longer serving as
[00:07:52] Foreign Minister because he is taking on a new role as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs.
[00:07:55] And regarding the direction of Indonesian diplomacy
[00:07:59] under the command of the new Foreign Minister Armanata Nasir,
[00:08:03] previously we discussed the legacy that has been
[00:08:06] left by Foreign Minister Sugiiono, which
[00:08:09] will then be continued by the new Foreign Minister.
[00:08:26] in New York, where in this case, Sugiono
[00:08:29] took to the podium of the UN, Sugiono officially
[00:08:32] announced Indonesia's candidacy as a non-permanent member
[00:08:36] of the UN Security Council or DKPB for the period
[00:08:38] 2029 and also 2030. In addition,
[00:08:42] there were also intensive lobbying efforts carried out by the former Foreign Minister Sugiono
[00:08:46] by holding intensive meetings with
[00:08:49] various foreign ministers to gather support for Indonesia
[00:08:53] in its candidacy as DKPB. And also,
[00:08:56] in addition, Sugiono was also active in demanding the restoration of confidence in
[00:09:00] the UN amidst global geopolitical
[00:09:03] tensions. And after that, one day
[00:09:07] after attending the UNGA,
[00:09:10] the former Foreign Minister Sugiono also
[00:09:13] carried out the release of
[00:09:17] four crew members or
[00:09:20] kidnapped by Somali pirates and were finally released
[00:09:23] and returned to their homeland on Tuesday, October 6th. And what is
[00:09:27] interesting is that during the reception of the crew members
[00:09:31] or ABK, the Foreign Minister
[00:09:34] Sugiono was also present even though he had already transitioned
[00:09:37] to Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs along with the new Foreign Minister
[00:09:40] Armanata Nasir to directly welcome the return of the four
[00:09:44] ABK. On that occasion, Foreign Minister
[00:09:48] Armanata also expressed special appreciation for the
[00:09:51] diplomacy carried out by Foreign Minister Sugiono for
[00:09:55] the previous Foreign Minister Sugiono to directly
[00:09:58] lead the very complicated repatriation process of the four crew members.
[00:10:02] And it is from these legacies that will then
[00:10:06] be continued by the new Foreign Minister Armanata Nasir,
[00:10:09] because the direction of Indonesian diplomacy under the leadership of Foreign Minister
[00:10:13] Armanata Nasir is a continuation
[00:10:16] of policy with a strong emphasis on professional
[00:10:20] implementation. In this regard, Armanata
[00:10:23] said that he would not change the principles,
[00:10:27] there would be no radical changes
[00:10:30] in fundamental principles, but rather a strengthening of the policies or direction
[00:10:33] of diplomacy that had been carried out by the previous Foreign Minister Sugiono.
[00:10:37] In this regard, the main points that the new Foreign Minister
[00:10:40] Armanata Nasir wants to continue
[00:10:44] are Indonesia's consistency in implementing
[00:10:47] an independent and active
[00:10:50] foreign policy, and also the continuation of
[00:10:53] President Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita program. Armanata
[00:10:57] also emphasized that Indonesia's diplomatic reference remains consistent
[00:11:01] based on the law and the principle of an independent
[00:11:05] and active foreign policy. In this case, to harmonize
[00:11:08] the steps of foreign diplomacy to succeed the president's domestic
[00:11:11] agenda, especially those listed in President Prabowo Subianto's
[00:11:15] Asta program. And previously, we also mentioned
[00:11:18] that under the leadership of the previous Foreign Minister
[00:11:21] Sugiono, regarding Indonesia's membership in
[00:11:25] the UN Security Council, this will also be continued as one
[00:11:28] of the main multilateral diplomacy targets that will
[00:11:32] be continued by Armanata Nasir,
[00:11:35] where he will fight for
[00:11:38] and prioritize Indonesia's candidacy as a non-permanent
[00:11:41] member of the United Nations Security Council or
[00:11:44] UNSC. And besides that, it is also related
[00:11:48] to contributing to regional and global stability,
[00:11:51] where Armanata Nasir, the new Foreign Minister, also positions
[00:11:55] Indonesia to remain active in maintaining world
[00:12:00] President Prabowo Subianto conveyed,
[00:12:04] which is related to world peace, especially for the Palestinian region. Yesterday, President
[00:12:08] Prabowo also mentioned it when he met with Egyptian President Abdel
[00:12:11] Fattah LCC, by positioning Indonesia
[00:12:14] to continue to fight for and support
[00:12:17] the processes to achieve peace and
[00:12:20] independence for the Palestinian people. And that is what will
[00:12:24] then be continued for how Indonesia's
[00:12:27] international policy direction will be continued by
[00:12:31] Foreign Minister Armanata Nasir. And it is also
[00:12:35] known that
[00:12:37] after serving as Foreign Minister after being sworn in on October
[00:12:41] 1st, the Foreign Minister has also been faced with a response by
[00:12:44] conducting intensive diplomacy with the Malaysian region
[00:12:48] regarding the handling of the forest and land fire issue
[00:12:52] to maintain stable relations between Indonesia and Malaysia, especially with
[00:12:55] bilateral relations in the ASEAN region. And
[00:12:58] that is what will be Indonesia's diplomatic direction
[00:13:01] under the leadership of Foreign Minister
[00:13:04] Armanata Nasir. And that is the information we can convey. Fabrian, back to
[00:13:08] the studio. Arneta Butar-butar, thank you for your
[00:13:12] information directly from the State Palace, Jakarta. Welcome back to duty.
[00:13:15] Viewers, we will be back soon after this commercial break. Don't go anywhere
[00:13:19] because there is information about the Indonesian government which has established communication
[00:13:23] with Malaysia regarding the haze problem caused by
[00:13:26] forest and land fires that occurred in Sumatra. More details soon
[00:13:30] for you.
[00:13:37] Do you agree that small habits at home will have a big impact on the environment
[00:13:41] around us? The good things we choose must be beneficial,

[00:15:55] The truth is not always easy, the truth
[00:15:58] is not always visible, it can even come from two different
[00:16:02] sides, because every story has
[00:16:06] more than one angle.
[00:16:37] Haze due to forest fires and land or Karhutla.
[00:16:41] Indonesia confirmed that it has deployed tens of thousands of personnel and dozens
[00:16:45] of air fleets to accelerate fire fighting.
[00:16:49] Foreign Minister Armanata Nasir
[00:16:51] conveyed that his party has spoken with the Malaysian Foreign Minister
[00:16:55] to explain the various steps that have been
[00:16:58] taken by the Indonesian government in handling
[00:17:01] Karhutla. In the handling efforts, the Indonesian government
[00:17:04] also stated that it has deployed more than
[00:17:08] personnel to help overcome forest and land fires.
[00:17:11] In addition to the deployment of personnel, approximately 48 helicopters and
[00:17:15] aircraft were also involved. Although various steps have been
[00:17:18] taken, the government acknowledges that weather conditions are still
[00:17:22] one of the challenges in the effort to handle
[00:17:25] forest and land fires.
[00:17:30] We have already communicated
[00:17:32] with I have also spoken with the Foreign Minister
[00:17:36] of Malaysia and
[00:17:39] we have also explained the steps that have been taken by
[00:17:42] Indonesia, such as we have deployed more than
[00:17:46] 60,000 personnel. We have also
[00:17:53] deployed around 48 helicopters and
[00:17:57] aircraft to carry out water bombing
[00:18:01] and also weather modification. This is indeed
[00:18:04] a challenge because the air
[00:18:07] is not on our side. But our hope
[00:18:10] is that this will soon subside, because
[00:18:14] the weather is also expected to have rain. The government
[00:18:18] has begun to test a new innovation in the form of a special
[00:18:22] liquid from Brazil called Realiza anti Shamas as an alternative
[00:18:25] option to accelerate the process of extinguishing hotspots. Not only
[00:18:29] focusing on immediate extinguishing, the government is now also formulating
[00:18:33] regulatory improvements and strengthening the Peatland Restoration
[00:18:36] Agency so that...
[00:19:07] speed up the process of extinguishing hotspots. Coordinating Minister
[00:19:10] for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Dudung Abdurrahman said
[00:19:15] dissolved in water is able to settle and effectively
[00:19:19] inhibit the spread of fire in peatlands.
[00:19:21] The Realiza Anticamas liquid
[00:19:24] began to be tested for use in the South Sumatra and
[00:19:27] Kalimantan regions.
[00:19:29] In the near future, I should have been there yesterday. We will go to
[00:19:33] South Sumatra. There is a
[00:19:36] donation from Brazil, so
[00:19:39] it's a liquid, right? So if
[00:19:43] it's sprayed, it will
[00:19:46] settle, and then it can extinguish. We have already
[00:19:49] tested this in South Sumatra, in
[00:19:52] Kalimantan. Hopefully, we will continue
[00:19:55] this and it can
[00:19:59] be extinguished soon. What liquid is it, sir? And how will it be in the air? In the air, it will be by helicopter,
[00:20:02] and also manually through
[00:20:06] the members who will be involved.
[00:20:10] Meanwhile, the Chief of Presidential Staff General Listyo Sigit Prabowo
[00:20:13] emphasized that the government continues to encourage various
[00:20:17] efforts to handle forest and land fires, starting from air
[00:20:20] and land task force operations to socialization and
[00:20:24] education for the community.
[00:20:26] The President has ordered the TNI, police, local
[00:20:30] governments, including mangalakni,
[00:20:33] all communities to work together to
[00:20:37] resolve and
[00:20:41] take the best steps for the resolution
[00:20:44] of the forest and land fires, acceleration
[00:20:48] complete, starting from the
[00:20:51] land task force,
[00:20:54] then also
[00:20:56] efforts to continue to provide
[00:21:00] socialization.
[00:21:02] Not only focusing on immediate extinguishing, the government is now
[00:21:06] also formulating regulatory improvements and strengthening
[00:21:09] the Peatland Restoration Agency to be more flexible in preventing forest
[00:21:12] and land fire crises in the future. Metro TV
[00:21:16] report.
[00:21:25] Unifield provided health services to the elderly in Taiwe,
[00:21:28] Lebanon, on Friday, October 9, 2026. This activity
[00:21:32] is a manifestation of the TNI soldiers' concern in helping the
[00:21:36] community in the peacekeeping mission area. Health
[00:21:39] services were provided to 155 elderly
[00:21:42] people at the Besel Al-Assas Center in Thabanon.
[00:21:46] The service also became a momentum to
[00:21:50] increase access to healthcare for the elderly who face
[00:21:53] mobility limitations and require continuous
[00:21:57] medical attention. The healthcare services included general
[00:22:00] health check-ups, consultations with general practitioners and specialists,
[00:22:04] as well as free medication. In his
[00:22:07] speech, Dansatga Simic 31P Unifill Infantry
[00:22:11] Lt. Col. Rahmatullah Suara expressed appreciation
[00:22:14] to all parties who have supported the activity. He
[00:22:18] hoped that this healthcare service could provide real benefits for the
[00:22:22] elderly and strengthen the friendly relations between
[00:22:25] Unifield and the local community. The presence of Satga
[00:22:28] Simic 31 P Unifill through this healthcare service
[00:22:31] confirms the TNI's commitment to carrying out
[00:22:35] UN peacekeeping missions that are not only oriented towards
[00:22:38] security stability but also care for the needs
[00:22:42] of the community.
[00:22:47] We will be right back, viewers, there is information. To ensure that the
[00:22:51] irrigation water needs are met, the Ministry of Public Works
[00:22:54] is preparing the development of deep wells that
[00:22:58] have the potential to become a backup water source for the irrigation
[00:23:00] network. More details
[00:23:02] soon.

[00:23:58] It's time to
[00:24:00] find out, between the Amazon forest and the Kalimantan forest,
[00:24:04] the older one is the Kalimantan Forest. The Kalimantan Forest is estimated
[00:24:07] to be around 130 to 140 million years old,
[00:24:11] while the Amazon forest is estimated to be around
[00:24:14] 55 million years old. The Kalimantan Forest has existed since ancient times or
[00:24:18] the dinosaur era. The Amazon forest formed much later
[00:24:22] due to changes in landforms and the earth's climate. A number of researchers
[00:24:25] noted that the modern ecosystem in Kalimantan continued to develop over
[00:24:29] millions of years based on fossil findings. However, the land base and
[00:24:32] the history of tropical vegetation in Southeast
[00:24:36] land for much longer than the Amazon Basin. So now
[00:24:39] you know, right?
[00:24:50] You are still with us in Priority Indonesia, viewers.
[00:24:53] Water availability is one of the keys to the success
[00:24:57] of agricultural area development in the National Food,
[00:25:00] Energy and Water Self-Sufficiency Center (KSP-an) Wanam in Merauke Regency,
[00:25:04] South Papua. To ensure that irrigation
[00:25:07] water needs are met, the Ministry of Public Works
[00:25:11] is preparing for the development of deep wells that have the potential to become
[00:25:14] a fresh water reserve source for irrigation networks in
[00:25:18] the area.
[00:25:20] so it's a bit difficult, Minister of Public Works Dodi Hanggodo
[00:25:24] reviewed the National Food, Energy and Water Self-Sufficiency Center
[00:25:28] (KSP-an) Wanam in Merauke Regency, South Papua, on Thursday,
[00:25:31] October 8, 2026. This review was to see the progress
[00:25:35] of irrigation flow infrastructure development. Dodi
[00:25:38] explained that water provision is one of the main responsibilities
[00:25:41] of the Ministry of Public Works in supporting agricultural area
[00:25:44] development. Although the area is based on swamp
[00:25:47] agriculture, water availability must
[00:25:51] be maintained so that irrigation needs can be met in various
[00:25:55] conditions. Based on the geoelectric
[00:25:58] survey results, there are seven points that have potential groundwater to be
[00:26:01] developed into deep wells. Each point
[00:26:05] is estimated to have a water discharge of about 1 to 2 liters per
[00:26:08] second. This potential is the basis for strengthening
[00:26:11] water availability, especially in supporting agricultural activities that are being
[00:26:15] gradually developed in Wanam. The availability
[00:26:18] of alternative water sources from boreholes is important with the start of rice
[00:26:22] planting in the Wanam area. As of October 1, 2026, rice
[00:26:26] planting on the pilot plot at kilometer 21 has reached
[00:26:29] approximately 40 hectares for the first stage. These rice plants are planned
[00:26:33] to be harvested in early to mid- October
[00:26:36] 2026.
[00:26:38] This is actually swamp agriculture, right? And swamps
[00:26:42] that are
[00:26:45] based on fresh water from swamps, but we also have
[00:26:49] to make sure that the water is fresh
[00:26:52] and
[00:26:54] available in any condition for these rice fields, which is why then some
[00:26:58] point we are drilling
[00:27:01] for groundwater. Incidentally, here the aquifer is good, sir
[00:27:05] yes on average maybe around
[00:27:07] 60-70 meters, yes 60-70 meters we find water
[00:27:11] enough water, maybe the discharge is around 1 liter per second.
[00:27:14] Roughly, it should be harvestable by mid-November, but
[00:27:18] if we look at it this way, it should be harvestable by early November, yes.
[00:27:22] But for safety, mid-November it is.
[00:27:25] Besides developing boreholes, the Ministry of Public Works is also continuously building irrigation channels
[00:27:29] to support the development of agricultural areas in Diksban 1.
[00:27:33] From the target of building a network spanning 180 km,
[00:27:36] as of October 1, 2026, 133
[00:27:40] km has been realized. This work
[00:27:43] includes swamp irrigation networks and flood control channels
[00:27:46] that play an important role in maintaining the water management
[00:27:49] of the area. Through the development of deep wells and
[00:27:53] the integrated construction of channel networks, the Ministry of Public Works strives
[00:27:56] to ensure water availability becomes the foundation for agricultural development in
[00:28:00] KSPN Wanam.
[00:28:03] This is 138 kilometers, friends, from that end to here, all the way to
[00:28:06] that end. On the right and left there is
[00:28:10] a primary irrigation system. We will then
[00:28:13] adjust it
[00:28:15] according to the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture, where they
[00:28:19] will at that time, we will prepare
[00:28:22] the secondary irrigation towards that direction. This KSPN
[00:28:26] Wana is part of the effort to open a new food barn
[00:28:29] for the nation.
[00:29:42] Riau continued with a traditional ceremony full of meaning from Malay Riau culture. The
[00:29:46] tepuk tepung tawar ceremony was performed by the General Chairman of the Daily Leadership Council of the
[00:29:49] Riau Malay Customary Institution, Datuk Seri Taufiq
[00:29:53] Ikram Jamil and the Regional Secretary of Riau Province
[00:29:56] Shahrial Abdi. The Riau Police Chief, Irjen Paul Arman
[00:30:00] Ahdiat, who was newly appointed previously, served as
[00:30:03] a high-ranking officer in Baintelkam Polri.
[00:30:06] Irjen Paul Arman Ahdiat replaced Komjen Paul
[00:30:09] Heri Haryawan who received a promotion to the position of Head of the
[00:30:13] Security Maintenance Body or Kabah Harkam
[00:30:16] Polri.
[00:30:22] That concludes our meeting in Prioritas Indonesia for this edition.
[00:30:26] On behalf of the crew on duty, I, Febrian, thank you for your
[00:30:29] attention. Good afternoon and see you again.
