00:02:36viewers,
00:02:44amidst the changing face of Jakarta towards a modern city,
00:02:47the demand to preserve Betawi cultural heritage so that it remains
00:02:51known to the younger generation becomes something that must
00:02:54continue to be pursued. Of course, there is the 'Nyok Kenal Betawi' community
00:02:58which invites the younger generation to preserve and also introduce Betawi culture with
00:03:02a more enjoyable and not rigid nuance, especially
00:03:05through dance. Here's
00:03:07the full story.
00:03:14Betawi culture is not a legacy of the past.
00:03:18Betawi culture is a rich
00:03:21art, tradition and also strong
00:03:25values
00:03:27who want to enjoy staying within it. Jakarta's transformation towards a modern
00:03:30city today,
00:03:32is good, we can also help with the problems the challenge to preserve culture is becoming more real. It
00:03:36should be that the younger generation also participates in
00:03:39preserving the culture so that it is more widely known and can
00:03:42internally, also be enjoyed by the next generation, just like
00:03:46the 'Nyok
00:03:50as Kita Kenal Betawi' community that strives to embrace the younger generation to get closer
00:03:54to Betawi culture through
00:03:56art. How do they try to...
00:04:15The younger generation continues to be proud of local culture and
00:04:19can become a space for young people in Jakarta to
00:04:22gather, create and get to know Betawi culture
00:04:25more closely through dance.
00:04:28Collaborating with Margasari Studio to provide professional
00:04:31dance instructors. The "Nyotek Kenal
00:04:35Betawi" community encourages members to learn in
00:04:38an enjoyable way while also fostering
00:04:40boring. That's what a healthy lifestyle for urban communities. Roksane, the founder
00:04:44of the "Nyok Kenal Betawi" community, said
00:04:47that 90% of the members are office workers, so
00:04:51they need to adjust the training schedule to the busy schedules of their working
00:04:55members. With a flexible training
00:04:58schedule, this strategic step has proven effective
00:05:02in attracting today's young generation to learn and
00:05:05get to know traditional Betawi dance. Uh,
00:05:08it just so happens that my sister and I like to dance, sir. So,
00:05:12uh, my sister's profession is as a traditional dancer. My sister's name
00:05:16is Rachel Shafar Akil. Uh, she is
00:05:20the winner of the Apnon South Jakarta Hope Award in 2025. So this
00:05:23makes it one of her promises,
00:05:26to preserve Betawi culture in
00:05:29Jakarta, of course. We happen to be siblings and there's a 10-year
00:05:33age gap between us. Uh, so we thought, why don't we just create a
00:05:36community where we can not only learn but
00:05:40also get to know new friends. And also preserve
00:05:43Betawi culture. So, the demographic, uh, it happens that most
00:05:47of our students are on average 90% from
00:05:50uh, millennials and Gen Z
00:05:53like that. So, uh, most of them, 90% of their professions are
00:05:56workers, whether from government agencies,
00:05:59private sector, uh, and so on. So, most
00:06:03of them are office workers who really love to dance,
00:06:07and also happen to have an interest in preserving Betawi art
00:06:11and culture, right? So, uh, our way
00:06:14to, uh, strategize so that they want to learn in
00:06:17our community is that we make them as comfortable as possible. So
00:06:21we choose the most convenient time
00:06:24and a comfortable place so that they are willing
00:06:27to learn. The members join because they have
00:06:31a hobby of dancing and also want to get to know and preserve traditional
00:06:35Betawi dance art.
00:06:37The Nytek Kenal Betawi community is here to answer the need
00:06:43that is expected to increase cultural awareness among Jakarta's
00:06:47young generation. Besides learning about culture, community
00:06:51members consider dance practice as a means of exercise to
00:06:55maintain health and an opportunity to expand
00:06:58their network of friendships across sectors and
00:07:01ages. To provide a memorable experience,
00:07:05the "Yok Kita Kenal Betawi" community also gives members
00:07:08the opportunity to perform in a trial show, which will certainly
00:07:12be a memorable experience and a way to introduce Betawi
00:07:16culture. Okay, the reason is because I have always
00:07:20liked dancing, and also, coincidentally, my area is
00:07:23Betawi, so I also want to preserve this Betawi culture.
00:07:27The experience, of course, was the first time I
00:07:31had a performance test, a dance test, a practical test,
00:07:35and also met many friends here. Actually, this is one
00:07:38of the goals where after I started
00:07:42a new lifestyle, I suddenly
00:07:45thought, I want to learn to dance again,
00:07:49and then after uh, so that was the goal
00:07:52going into 2026. Uh, it's really
00:07:55fun because here uh, it's very
00:07:59diverse, uh, from age to
00:08:02profession. And it turns out I can
00:08:05be here with my friends and prove that
00:08:09age is not a barrier to learning something new.
00:08:13Through the 'Nyok Kitek Kenal Betawi' community, trainers from
00:08:17Margasari Studio are open to providing opportunities for every
00:08:21member to learn Betawi art, even those without a basic
00:08:24dance background, through a fun learning process, with
00:08:28the hope that more young people will be interested in
00:08:31learning and getting to know Betawi culture more
00:08:34deeply. For example, our training
00:08:37is 3 months long. In these 3 months, we are divided into 12
00:08:41meetings. In those 12 meetings, we meet once
00:08:44a week. So in a month, we train four times.
00:08:48So once a week, four times a month. There's no special way,
00:08:51mostly we approach it
00:08:55where we as trainers don't
00:08:58act as trainers but rather
00:09:02sharing friends, which usually resonates more with young people
00:09:05like that. The special challenge is because they
00:09:09probably don't have a dance background like we usually dance with kids,
00:09:13like "come on, 1, 2, 3" like this. But now we're dealing with
00:09:16adults whose motor skills are already like, "it's work,"
00:09:20so we take it slowly, but while playing
00:09:23and joking around, so it resonates more with Gen Z and millennials.
00:09:27It's not just about learning Betawi
00:09:30culture; the "Nyok Kenal Betawi" community wants to foster
00:09:34pride in cultural heritage.
00:09:38This spirit is hoped to keep Betawi culture
00:09:42alive and continuously known by the next
00:09:45generation.
00:09:47Preserving Betawi customs doesn't have to be rigid and
00:09:53the Nyt Kenal Betawi community
00:09:56does, inviting young people
00:09:59to get to know and learn Betawi customs
00:10:03through dance. And through this art,
00:10:06the younger generation can continue to preserve and introduce
00:10:10Betawi culture to the next generation.
00:10:25the newest is the Nusantara Explorer Train, not
00:10:28just a tourist train, this series also offers a travel
00:10:32experience like staying in a five-star hotel with a touch
00:10:36of Nusantara culture inside. Yes, what kind of luxury is
00:10:40offered? Let's watch the report by Metro TV Journalist Siha Al-Hadar and cameraman
00:10:43Maulana Riduan
00:10:45below.
00:10:48Viewers, guess where I am this time? It's like
00:10:51a five-star hotel, but it turns out this is on
00:10:55a train. So PT Kereta Api Indonesia developed
00:10:58a new concept, a luxury train concept, namely Nusantara
00:11:02Explorer. If you can see here, there's a very
00:11:05luxurious bed, then there's also a sofa and entertainment
00:11:09just like in a hotel, which is a hotel that can
00:11:12move. If you can see how, uh, here it really
00:11:16depicts the Indonesian nuance because there are batik
00:11:19motifs, wayang motifs, and also other motifs
00:11:23that are very pleasing to the eye. Then also, each car
00:11:27has a bathroom that is already very complete with
00:11:30facilities. Then there are also, uh,
00:11:34wardrobes and so on, which of course spoils
00:11:38tourists, both Indonesian and foreign
00:11:41tourists who enter this Nusantara
00:11:44Explorer itself. Besides this extraordinary room, there
00:11:48are three types, viewers. The first is the signature class, then there's
00:11:52the advance class and also the compact class. These are indeed
00:11:56uh, of course, different prices. Well, besides these
00:11:59luxurious rooms, Nusantara Explorer also has other
00:12:03facilities, one of which is a lounge, then there's also a very
00:12:07luxurious dining room. We will show you later, follow me.
00:12:22This is The Nusantara Explorer, a luxurious
00:12:26developed by PT KAI.
00:12:29Besides sleeping cabins, The Nusantara Explorer also provides
00:12:32a space to relax during the journey.
00:12:36The lounge area is equipped with entertainment facilities ranging from live
00:12:39music, a piano, to panoramic windows.
00:12:43Passengers can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere while watching
00:12:47the scenery throughout
00:12:48the journey.
00:12:57Well, viewers, isn't that amazing? So in the Nusantara Explorer lounge,
00:13:01there's already live music, and then we're going to take you to
00:13:05the dining hall in the next car. And you can see here that
00:13:08all the doors are already automatic, and
00:13:11all the cars are indeed equipped with
00:13:15Indonesian nuances themselves. We can see here,
00:13:18viewers, if we look together, this is
00:13:21the dining hall provided of course for all
00:13:25visitors of this Nusantara Explorer, and then the menus
00:13:29of this train also of course have Indonesian nuances from various
00:13:32regions in Indonesia, and these can be enjoyed by all
00:13:36visitors of this Nusantara Explorer. And
00:13:39currently, PT KAI has not yet determined when
00:13:43this Nusantara Explorer will be open to the public, and also
00:13:46they haven't announced yet how much it will cost for visitors
00:13:52in a hotel on a train. And we will wait to see when
00:13:56this Nusantara will be opened, because of course the enthusiasm
00:14:00from the public to enjoy this luxury train version
00:14:03of Nusantara Explorer is already extraordinary. Maulana Ridwan, Metro
00:14:07TV.
00:14:10Viewers, to celebrate the 81st anniversary of the TNI,
00:14:13an exhibition of weaponry and social services was held
00:14:17at the Monas area in TNI Fair
00:14:192026. This event is free for the public. What
00:14:23kind of weaponry exhibition is there?
00:14:36Jakarta, well, one of them is a stand from the Army
00:14:40Aviation, so to find out what's here,
00:14:43what planes and what
00:14:47simulators there are, now I'm with
00:14:51the pilots of that
00:14:54helicopter. Okay, hello sis, hello
00:14:57with whom? Uh, Second Lieutenant Hafiz. Okay, with whom,
00:15:01sis? I'm with Captain CPN Koteni, sis. I want to ask
00:15:04you, as a pilot of one of these helicopters, could you
00:15:08tell us what kind of helicopter this is and what it's usually
00:15:12used for? Oh, this helicopter is called the Fenec AS550. This
00:15:16helicopter is made in France. Its capacity is 6 people,
00:15:19two pilots, four passengers. Then this helicopter is usually
00:15:23used for air combat.
00:15:26So it is equipped with weapons in the form of rockets
00:15:30on its right and left. This is usually
00:15:33for combat, but
00:15:35this helicopter is also good. It has a cruising range of up
00:15:39to 5 500, 500
00:15:43feet high. Okay, how long have you been a pilot of
00:15:47this helicopter? Uh, so far I've only been a pilot for 2 years
00:15:50since graduating from the military academy. I've been
00:15:53in aviation for 2 years. For
00:15:57Kafeni, I just heard a little
00:16:00from Kafeni that she is one of the female pilots
00:16:04in the Army Aviation. Can you tell us how
00:16:08you became one of the female pilots in the Army Aviation? Yes,
00:16:11I started, uh, from the military academy, ma'am. I was also
00:16:15in the first class for female cadets. So at
00:16:19that time, there was, uh, like a warfing or selection
00:16:22for the Army Aviation. They screened based on psychology,
00:16:26health, and so on. Well, then, because
00:16:29of my interests, talents, and also psychology, I was accepted into
00:16:33the Army Aviation, so I was then directed to become a pilot after
00:16:37graduating. After 4 years of military academy in
00:16:412017, I went to flight school until I became operational in
00:16:442019. Yes, so, how long have you been an
00:16:47Army pilot? I've been since 2019, sir. Is there
00:16:51any interesting experience you've had as an Army pilot? Maybe what's
00:16:55interesting is that because I'm a woman, right? Maybe
00:16:58for women, BKO or BKO is still unfamiliar. That's like
00:17:02an operational assignment in remote areas. I have indeed
00:17:05carried out a security patrol
00:17:09in Sabang, in Aceh at that time. I was there for 2
00:17:13months. That's the most interesting and memorable
00:17:16experience, right? Thank you very
00:17:18much. Viewers, after
00:17:21talking with the pilots from the Army Aviation,
00:17:25I will also be looking around the stand here.
00:17:29There are some
00:17:31simulators. On my left are weapons that are usually
00:17:35attached or
00:17:39carried by those helicopters. Over
00:17:42there is also an engine from one
00:17:46of the helicopters over there. Okay, this is how the engine looks
00:17:49when it's started and when it's
00:17:52flying. Okay, sir, with whom?
00:17:55Yes,
00:17:58I am here
00:18:00to
00:18:03explain about
00:18:07this engine. Uh,
00:18:10starting
00:18:13it up, so from starting to running, the process is like this,
00:18:16as you can see.
00:18:19Yes, if the engine is 412,
00:18:23it rotates like this, ma'am, right? There's
00:18:25a compressor, there's a stick, then this is
00:18:29the accessory of the engine itself. From

00:20:27Q&A with Jai Subiacto exclusively on Metro
00:20:31TV.
00:20:38Thank you for staying with us, viewers. The Central Bank
00:20:41of the Netherlands, or DNB, has
00:20:43confirmed that billions of dollars in gold have been moved from
00:20:47the United States to another location, due to
00:20:51increasing geopolitical turmoil within the American
00:20:53homeland.
00:20:57The DNB said on Wednesday that 86 tons of gold had been
00:21:00removed from the United States and Canada in a complex operation that
00:21:04took several months. The gold is now stored at
00:21:08the Bank of England, where the precious metal can
00:21:11be traded more easily in a crisis situation. This decision
00:21:15was made amid an ongoing trade dispute between the United States and
00:21:18Canada, with both countries
00:21:21announcing new tariffs on each other after failed trade talks.
00:21:25The DNB said the transfer took place between
00:21:29March and August, involving the transfer of 27 tons of gold
00:21:32bars from New York and Ottawa to Zies in
00:21:35the Netherlands. The same amount and quality were then
00:21:38transferred to London without the need to melt down the gold
00:21:41bars. The remaining transfer was done by selling gold in New
00:21:45York and buying it back in
00:21:47London.
00:21:57The Netherlands recently became the last European country to withdraw its gold reserves from
00:22:01the United States. To find out more, we are connected
00:22:04with Rizki Nugraha, DW Indonesia editor in Bonn, Germany. Rizki,
00:22:08uh, how big is this trend, actually, and is there really
00:22:12a massive withdrawal of gold from America to
00:22:15Europe?
00:22:18Yes, the reality is that in the last year, two large European
00:22:22economies have withdrawn their gold reserves from the United States. France was the first
00:22:25country to repatriate its gold from the US. The transfer
00:22:29process took place from last summer until January this year. And
00:22:32now the Netherlands is doing the same and chose to store its gold reserves in
00:22:36London, England. Some time ago, we also heard a warning from
00:22:40the Director of Norway's wealth fund, which manages assets
00:22:42worth 2.3 trillion US dollars and is the largest
00:22:46in the world. He said it was increasingly clear that
00:22:49Norway needed to protect itself from the vulnerability of the US market,
00:22:53including from US government bonds. Although it wasn't about gold,
00:22:56that statement was widely understood as a change in Europe's attitude towards
00:23:00the United States as a reliable business
00:23:02partner.
00:23:07Rizki, the Netherlands cited geopolitical instability as
00:23:10one of the reasons. What
00:23:12does that mean?
00:23:20The Dutch central bank was relatively clear in explaining the reasons behind the gold reserve transfer
00:23:23from America. They cited increasing geopolitical instability and
00:23:27emphasized the need to strengthen preparedness in facing
00:23:30crises. The Netherlands did not specifically mention President Donald
00:23:34Trump's administration, but most economists agree that European countries are no
00:23:38longer entirely confident that their gold reserves will not be confiscated due to
00:23:42political conflicts in the future. As a reminder, earlier this year, President
00:23:45Trump threatened to annex Greenland from one of the European Union
00:23:49members, Denmark. His threat created an unprecedented rift
00:23:52in nearly a century of transatlantic alliance and NATO. But
00:23:56geopolitical issues are not the only reason, because since the global financial
00:23:59crisis, central banks worldwide have indeed increased their gold purchases
00:24:03because it is seen as an anchor of stability. As a result, gold prices
00:24:06have soared, and now gold is the largest reserve asset in the world.
00:24:10However, as the gold holdings of rich countries increase, they are also becoming increasingly
00:24:14careful in determining how and where the gold will be
00:24:17stored. One of the reasons European countries repatriate their gold reserves is
00:24:21the flexibility to transfer assets in the event of a crisis. Then there
00:24:24is also widespread concern about the US financial system
00:24:28itself. Inflation, debt, and continuously rising credit burdens, now
00:24:31many investors are starting to see the United States as no longer a
00:24:35safe option.
00:24:39Yes, Rizki, then what about Germany, which stores the second
00:24:42largest gold reserve
00:24:44in the world?
00:24:51Interestingly, Germany was among the earliest to diversify its gold storage
00:24:54locations between 2013 and 2017.
00:24:58Germany moved hundreds of tons of gold from the United States back to
00:25:02Frankfurt. This move was not a political decision but rather part of
00:25:05a model change in gold reserve management and diversification.
00:25:09However, Germany still currently stores a lot of gold in the United States, about
00:25:1236% of its total gold reserves, which are currently stored
00:25:16at the Federal Reserve in New York City. Now German politicians
00:25:20from across the political spectrum are calling for that gold to be brought
00:25:23home. However, for now, the central bank, known as the Bundesbank, has not
00:25:27indicated that it will take any steps. Last year, the governor of the German
00:25:30central bank said that he still believed in the security of Germany's gold reserves
00:25:34in New York. He also stated that if America were to seize the gold belonging
00:25:38to European countries, such an action would actually harm America itself because
00:25:42it would destroy its reputation in the global market. However, the fact that
00:25:45Europe has to take such a worst-case scenario seriously shows how unusual
00:25:49the developing situation is in its relationship with the United
00:25:52States.
00:25:57Thank you, Rizki Nugraha, for your information. Have a good
00:26:00rest of your duties.
00:26:32The Syrian Ministry of Defense said the explosion
00:26:35at the weapons depot also injured several other military personnel,
00:26:39but the ministry has not yet explained the cause
00:26:41of the explosion. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human
00:26:45Rights, the explosion occurred in an arms depot at a military
00:26:49post in Ayash and killed 11 people
00:26:52and injured 10 others. Previously, a similar
00:26:56explosion near the city of Asarmada, Northwest Syria, at the beginning
00:26:59of this month also killed 14 people and injured several
00:27:03others.
00:27:11The Chinese and Philippine governments blamed each
00:27:14other for the collision of two government ships in the South China
00:27:17Sea. Both sides released different versions of the cause of the incident.
00:27:21tersebut.
00:27:24Chinese state media released footage showing the Philippine vessel
00:27:27BRP Datu Magat Salamat moving
00:27:30close to the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG)
00:27:3421585 before they collided. Beijing
00:27:37accused the Philippine vessel of ignoring warnings, changing course, and
00:27:41accelerating in front of the Chinese vessel. Manila denied
00:27:44and accused the Chinese coast guard of repeatedly cutting off the Philippine
00:27:48vessel's path before ramming it. The Philippine
00:27:51vessel, carrying fuel aid for fishermen, sustained
00:27:54damage to its right hull and there were no reports of
00:27:58injuries. The incident occurred approximately 54 nautical miles from
00:28:01Palawan within the Philippine's exclusive economic zone. This area
00:28:05is part of the South China Sea whose maritime claims
00:28:08overlap.
