[00:05:10] of the community? Yes, only in our evening programs. Smoke from forest
[00:05:30] and land fires in Indonesia triggered pollution
[00:05:33] in Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia even brought this issue to the ASEAN
[00:05:37] summit. What are the steps taken by the Indonesian
[00:05:39] Government?
[00:05:49] A CCTV footage showing the moments
[00:05:52] of an explosion at King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi
[00:05:56] Arabia on Saturday local time. The Saudi

[00:06:13] The Constitutional Court's Honorary Council mentioned that there were six reports of alleged

[00:06:35] Hello, good evening viewers, how are you? I'm so glad that Top News can once again
[00:06:38] meet you today, with me Marcelina Tumundo. And
[00:06:42] let's just listen to the latest information in Top
[00:06:45] News.
[00:06:52] Viewers, forest and land fires in Tanjung Puting National Park, West
[00:06:56] Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan continue to spread. The affected area
[00:06:59] is estimated to reach 54,000 hectares,
[00:07:02] while extinguishing efforts are still hampered by limited personnel and
[00:07:06] equipment. Fire burned the Tanjung Puting National Park
[00:07:09] area from two sides. The increasing
[00:07:13] fires make extinguishing efforts increasingly
[00:07:15] challenging. The West Kotawaringin Regency Government
[00:07:18] prioritizes three areas that are the biggest contributors
[00:07:22] to smoke, namely Pangkalan Bun Road, Old Kotawaringin,
[00:07:25] Tanjung Putri Village, and Tanjung
[00:07:28] Puting National Park area. Limited personnel and equipment
[00:07:32] are obstacles to extinguishing in the field. Therefore, the regional
[00:07:36] government asks for support from the central government to immediately overcome
[00:07:39] the fires that continue to spread.
[00:07:56] Haze from forest and land fires still covers the Central Kalimantan
[00:08:00] area. Residents' activities are also disrupted, leading to the paralysis
[00:08:03] of flight operations at Haji Asasan Sampit Airport.
[00:08:07] Forest and land fires in the East Kotawaringin area
[00:08:10] caused smoke to cover.
[00:08:21] Visibility at the airport was only 100 meters, forcing a number
[00:08:25] of flights from October 1st to October 12th to be
[00:08:29] cancelled.
[00:08:35] What we got from the operator
[00:08:39] is that they cannot carry out operational activities at the airport
[00:08:42] due to weather reasons or smoke
[00:08:45] that makes it impossible. Meanwhile, monitored from the
[00:08:49] Ministry of Environment's ISPU application, the air quality in East Kotawaringin
[00:08:53] was at 318 PM 2.5 at
[00:08:57] 8 AM Western Indonesian Time, which is in the
[00:09:01] dangerous category. The increasingly thick smoke, which is yellowish
[00:09:04] in color, greatly disrupts residents' activities and
[00:09:08] increases the risk of respiratory problems. Exposure to forest
[00:09:11] and land fire smoke can cause eye irritation, coughing, and respiratory
[00:09:15] problems, especially for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and
[00:09:19] residents with a history of respiratory illness. The public in East
[00:09:22] Kotawaringin is advised to remain vigilant and reduce outdoor activities
[00:09:26] and to wear masks when leaving the house.
[00:09:44] Viewers, the forest and land fires that have occurred for more than 3
[00:09:48] months still pose serious problems for the residents of Palangkaraya
[00:09:51] City, Central Kalimantan. The haze that covers this area not only
[00:09:55] disrupts daily activities but also threatens public health
[00:09:59] and safety. To see a closer look at the current conditions
[00:10:02] on the ground, we are connected with Metro TV journalist Joey Jones and cameraman
[00:10:06] Reksadewa directly from Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan.
[00:10:10] Good evening, Joy, how are the current conditions? The haze in
[00:10:13] Palangkaraya and how does it affect
[00:10:16] the health of residents and also the daily activities
[00:10:22] Marcel and also viewers, we can inform you
[00:10:26] that today until tonight the air quality in Palangkaraya
[00:10:29] City is still in a dangerous status and indeed
[00:10:33] the figures shown by the air pollution index
[00:10:36] are still very high, far exceeding
[00:10:39] the normal limit or the safe air
[00:10:42] limit for humans to
[00:10:45] breathe. Therefore, Palangkaraya City is still
[00:10:49] covered by haze. However,
[00:10:52] tonight, the air
[00:10:55] quality is slightly better
[00:10:58] than in the morning and also in the afternoon.
[00:11:02] Viewers, it peaked just now, viewers, the thick
[00:11:05] haze covered Palangkaraya
[00:11:08] City. The peak was at 4:00
[00:11:12] until 5:00 PM. It was so thick that even visibility
[00:11:16] was less than 100 meters. However,
[00:11:19] it's different tonight, visibility
[00:11:23] has started to be a little
[00:11:26] bit different from the afternoon, Marcel and also
[00:11:29] viewers, but indeed the status of the air
[00:11:32] quality is still in a dangerous
[00:11:35] status. We know that the haze
[00:11:39] conditions in Palangkaraya City are caused by the many
[00:11:42] hotspots in Central
[00:11:45] Kalimantan. Based on the information we received, viewers,
[00:11:49] there are more than 6,000 points in Central
[00:11:53] Kalimantan province and specifically in the city. In Palangkaraya itself, there are
[00:11:56] 657
[00:11:59] hotspots or fires in peatlands.
[00:12:03] This is different from fires in regular soil,
[00:12:06] viewers. Peat soil has a different structure
[00:12:10] so the fires occur below the surface
[00:12:14] of the ground. Therefore, it is very difficult to extinguish and
[00:12:17] even if it is successfully extinguished, if we look at the current situation
[00:12:21] which never ends, I mean, it doesn't end
[00:12:25] with rain and also the heat that
[00:12:28] is still in Palangkaraya City and its surroundings
[00:12:31] causes the embers to reappear
[00:12:35] and produce smoke like this. And the impact,
[00:12:38] viewers, on public health has of course recorded more than
[00:12:42] 11,000 patients who have experienced
[00:12:45] respiratory problems during these 3 months. The people of
[00:12:49] Palangkaraya have been facing such a situation, not for days or
[00:12:53] weeks, but for more than 3 months, even almost 4
[00:12:57] months, and the public really hopes that this
[00:13:00] situation can improve soon, Marcel. All right,
[00:13:04] thank you, colleague Joey Jones reporting live from Palangkaraya,
[00:13:07] Central Kalimantan.
[00:13:10] Moving on to other information, viewers, today President Prabowo Subianto held
[00:13:14] a limited meeting with a number of ministers regarding forest and
[00:13:17] land fires. Each reported on efforts to handle forest and land fires that have spread
[00:13:21] to neighboring countries. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Dudung.
[00:13:32] A number of officials such as the TNI Commander, the National Police Chief, and the Ministry
[00:13:36] of Forestry were present directly at the palace, while BNPB
[00:13:39] followed the meeting online. Each agency
[00:13:42] provided the latest report on the handling of forest and land fires
[00:13:46] in this limited meeting. According to Dudung, one of
[00:13:50] the biggest obstacles to handling forest and land fires is the condition of peatlands
[00:13:53] that are difficult to extinguish. He emphasized that the government continues to try
[00:13:57] to extinguish the fire so that the haze does not continuously hit
[00:14:01] various regions and even neighboring
[00:14:06] countries. Yes, it has an impact on neighboring countries, that's why he is very
[00:14:10] concerned, because there are indeed many peatlands
[00:14:13] that are difficult to extinguish. However,
[00:14:17] some efforts that
[00:14:20] we have made, of course, I as the director
[00:14:23] for forest and land fires,
[00:14:27] this will be discussed by the president
[00:14:30] later. The Bekasi City Government proposed the closure of Islamic boarding
[00:14:34] schools in the Bekasi City area due to alleged sexual
[00:14:37] harassment and violence cases involving 10
[00:14:40] female students. Alleged sexual harassment and violence cases
[00:14:44] in Islamic boarding school environments once again came into the spotlight. This time
[00:14:48] it happened in an Islamic boarding school in Pekayon, South Bekasi, Bekasi
[00:14:51] City. 10 female students were allegedly victims
[00:14:55] of sexual violence by the caretaker and leader of the Islamic boarding school.
[00:14:58] Regarding this case, Bekasi Mayor Tri
[00:15:01] Adianto firmly proposed that the boarding school
[00:15:05] be closed to ensure proper handling for the students.
[00:15:08] Now, the police have named the boarding school caretaker
[00:15:12] as a suspect and are still investigating following allegations
[00:15:15] of other perpetrators and the possibility
[00:15:17] of more victims.
[00:15:22] Because the closure is part
[00:15:26] of a process that must be tiered.
[00:15:30] First, yesterday we held a meeting to decide on the steps.
[00:15:33] The first, of course, was the Ministry of Religious Affairs
[00:15:37] and also the Islamic boarding school forum and also MUI and also
[00:15:41] Basnas, because one of the points is that we also want it
[00:15:45] to be closed, but this is the authority of the director
[00:15:48] general of the Ministry of Religion in Jakarta.
[00:15:51] Our job is only to formulate,
[00:15:54] propose. Persib NU-18 official
[00:15:57] team became victims of violence by
[00:16:01] an unknown group of people at Batang rest area, Central Java on Sunday
[00:16:03] night. Key, key, key.
[00:16:17] In this amateur video that went viral on social media, a group
[00:16:20] of people wearing orange and black scarves
[00:16:23] were seen intimidating passengers of the Persib U18
[00:16:27] bus. Not only that, they also smashed the bus window until it was damaged.
[00:16:31] In addition, one of the Persib U-18 media officers became
[00:16:34] a victim of beating and was injured in the head and
[00:16:38] temple. The Persib U-18 coach admitted that he did not know
[00:16:42] the trigger for the action because the team only rested at the rest area
[00:16:45] after competing in Solo before a group of people attacked
[00:16:49] suddenly. Apart from this incident, the players and officials
[00:16:52] of the Persib U-18 team arrived in Bandung safely on Monday
[00:16:56] afternoon. The Persib officials asked for
[00:16:59] a thorough investigation into this attack case.
[00:17:03] Piki dog. Come
[00:17:07] on, open it. We were just normal, we had no intention of meeting
[00:17:11] supporters or anything, we just wanted to
[00:17:14] rest, take a break. Some players also wanted to go
[00:17:18] to the toilet or have dinner, because it was already
[00:17:22] late, not too late.
[00:17:25] We just wanted to rest, nothing at
[00:17:29] the door, nothing at all. They immediately reacted and immediately provoked
[00:17:32] us, that's all. There was nothing from our activities,
[00:17:36] it was purely when five members
[00:17:39] of our team got off, they immediately turned back to this
[00:17:43] bus and immediately started provoking. Moving on to international
[00:17:46] news, rescuers from the Nepalese military deployed
[00:17:49] helicopters and ground troops to the site of the flash flood
[00:17:53] following reports of five missing citizens. Using
[00:17:57] rescue helicopters, the team distributed food
[00:18:00] supplies and other logistical aid along the Budi Gandaki
[00:18:04] River, Nepal. Officers also began evacuating local residents
[00:18:08] and tourists from the affected area. Aid
[00:18:11] in the form of food, tents, medicines, and other logistical
[00:18:14] needs was transported by truck to areas that are still accessible
[00:18:18] by land, while military helicopters
[00:18:21] were deployed to reach and deliver supplies to remote
[00:18:25] villages in the mountainous region. In
[00:18:28] this incident, there have been no reports of casualties.
[00:18:31] The local government has issued an early warning for the public
[00:18:34] to evacuate to a safer location before the flash flood hit.
[00:19:01] The flash flood that hit the Gorkha district of Nepal
[00:19:04] was triggered by a landslide that had previously dammed the flow.
[00:19:08] near Cumchure village, the overflowing
[00:19:10] water carrying mud then damaged and destroyed
[00:19:14] five bridges, three hydropower
[00:19:17] plant construction sites, and dozens
[00:19:20] of houses and residents' farmlands. Local authorities
[00:19:23] have issued a warning of the potential for subsequent floods and
[00:19:27] urged residents in downstream areas to immediately evacuate to higher
[00:19:30] ground and stay away from the river
[00:19:32] banks.
[00:19:44] Viewers, a CCTV footage shows the moments
[00:19:47] of an explosion at King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi
[00:19:51] Arabia on Saturday local time. The Saudi

[00:22:13] Sunday at 10
[00:22:14] AM.
[00:22:22] You're back with us on Top News, viewers, it's time for us to present a number
[00:22:25] of main information in the top topic
[00:22:27] below.
[00:22:34] The first top topic, viewers, the resistance of Ansarullah Yemen against
[00:22:37] the Saudi Arabian aggressor has not ended. After Saudi
[00:22:41] bombed Sanaa Airport, cutting off humanitarian aid to Yemen, now
[00:22:44] Ansarullah is targeting King Khalid International Airport in
[00:22:47] Riyadh.
[00:23:03] A video circulating on social media, a CCTV footage
[00:23:06] showing the moments of an explosion at King Khalid
[00:23:10] International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday local time.
[00:23:14] Most of the passengers were seen wearing white clothes or ihram cloth
[00:23:18] which is usually worn by pilgrims heading to Mecca to perform
[00:23:21] Umrah. As a result of this retaliatory attack, the Saudi
[00:23:25] government announced 13 people died and more than
[00:23:28] 300 people were injured.
[00:23:50] Houthi armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree
[00:23:54] announced that his party had targeted Saudi
[00:23:57] Arabian airports and oil facilities. This attack
[00:24:00] was claimed as a response to continued Saudi aggression
[00:24:04] against Yemen, including the illegal blockade since 2015
[00:24:07] which resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, including
[00:24:11] causing more than half of Yemeni children to suffer from malnutrition.
[00:24:14] The Houthi armed group in Yemen has
[00:24:17] carried out four special operations
[00:24:21] in the last 24 hours using a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
[00:24:38] The attack on Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia impacted the cancellation
[00:24:41] of Umrah pilgrim flights from Indonesia to the Holy Land of Mecca.
[00:24:45] Here is the information, what are you waiting for with Kata
[00:24:48] Oma.
[00:25:06] A number of Umrah pilgrims at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, Maros,
[00:25:10] South Sulawesi failed to continue their journey to the Holy
[00:25:13] Land. This followed the cancellation of connecting flights from Kuala
[00:25:16] Lumpur to Madinah, Saudi Arabia, which was said to be related
[00:25:20] to a security incident at Riyadh Airport. Public Relations of Sultan
[00:25:23] Hasanuddin International Airport, Citra Mahessa Nusantara
[00:25:26] explained that the connecting Malaysia Airlines flight
[00:25:29] MH158 from Kuala Lumpur to Madinah
[00:25:33] was cancelled. Meanwhile, flight
[00:25:35] MH-846 from Makassar to Kuala Lumpur still
[00:25:39] operates. Out of a total of 83 passengers,
[00:25:43] 53 people were Umrah pilgrims affected
[00:25:46] by the cancellation. Meanwhile, 30 regular passengers still
[00:25:50] departed for Kuala Lumpur. As of now, the airport has not been able to confirm
[00:25:54] the number of affected flights or the next departure schedule
[00:25:58] for the pilgrims.
[00:26:03] We can explain about the viral video clip that
[00:26:07] was indeed true this morning. It's actually
[00:26:10] like this, it's a Malaysia Airlines flight with
[00:26:14] the Makassar-Kuala Lumpur route, then
[00:26:17] connecting Makassar-Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur-
[00:26:21] Madinah. The
[00:26:23] MH846 flight number for the Makassar
[00:26:27] to Kuala Lumpur route, then the connecting
[00:26:30] MH158 from Kuala Lumpur to Madinah, this was
[00:26:34] cancelled because, as we all know, it was
[00:26:37] cancelled due to an incident at King
[00:26:40] Khalid Airport in
[00:26:44] Riyadh. So the one that was cancelled was the Kuala Lumpur-Madinah
[00:26:48] flight. Viewers, following the attack on Riyadh Airport, the Indonesian Ministry
[00:26:52] of Foreign Affairs urged Indonesian citizens in Saudi Arabia
[00:26:55] to increase vigilance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues
[00:26:58] to monitor the situation and coordinate with local
[00:27:01] authorities to ensure safety amidst increasing
[00:27:05] tensions. In its official release, the Ministry of Foreign
[00:27:09] Affairs stated that it continues to monitor developments in Saudi
[00:27:12] Arabia. As of October 11, 2026,
[00:27:16] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that no Indonesian citizens died
[00:27:19] as a result of the incident.
[00:27:23] of Indonesian citizens among the injured is still being verified.
[00:27:27] To ensure the condition of Indonesian citizens, the Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh
[00:27:31] continues to coordinate with Saudi Arabian authorities and monitor
[00:27:35] a number of hospitals in Riyadh and its surroundings.
[00:27:37] The Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh also urged Indonesian citizens to avoid
[00:27:40] dangerous locations, especially the King Khalid International Airport area.
[00:27:44] Indonesian citizens are asked to limit unnecessary travel, increase
[00:27:48] vigilance, and comply with the directives of local authorities.
[00:28:01] Let's move on to the next top topic, viewers, from
[00:28:05] inside the country, where the activities of residents of Kampung Apa
[00:28:09] Kotang, West Sumatra, affected by the flash flood that occurred last
[00:28:12] Saturday, are now focusing on cleaning up the mud
[00:28:15] around their homes.
[00:28:18] Kampung Apa Lubuk Min Turun, Padang City, West Sumatra, was affected
[00:28:22] by the flood that occurred last Saturday. The water level
[00:28:26] in Kampung Apa reached up to 1
[00:28:30] meter. The strong current of water hit due to the collapse of the temporary dike.
[00:29:08] The Head of the Padang City BPBD, Henry Zufilton, said
[00:29:12] that Lampau Mungu and Lumin Park
[00:29:14] were the most affected by the flash flood in Padang
[00:29:17] City. An early warning system
[00:29:20] had
[00:29:22] been activated before the incident.
[00:29:32] And the second thing is that in Lumin Park, the
[00:29:36] system was on, there was a witness
