00:02:17viewers, the Election Organizers' Honorary Council or DKP received
00:02:21two complaints regarding alleged violations of the election organizers' code of ethics
00:02:24following factual findings in the Constitutional Court trial
00:02:27which concluded that there was no document. stating that Vice President
00:02:31Gibran graduated from high school.
00:02:34Two complaints related to alleged violations of the election organizers' code of ethics
00:02:37were received by DKP at different times,
00:02:40people have been namely on Thursday, October 8 and Friday, October 9,
00:02:422026. The first complaint was submitted by the Indonesian
00:02:46Law Students Association (Permahi) which complained about the Chairman
00:02:50and five members of the Indonesian KPU for the
00:02:522022-2027 period.
00:02:55While the second complaint was submitted by the Dewi

00:03:08respects parties who submit complaints of alleged violations of the election
00:03:12organizers' code of ethics and confirmed that all complaints are always
00:03:15followed up in accordance with the prevailing laws and regulations. Two complaints will be
00:03:19immediately processed in administrative verification. If the results meet the requirements, it will
00:03:22be continued to the stage of material
00:03:25verification. Complaints that meet the requirements
00:03:29in material verification will be submitted
00:03:32as a case and given a case registration number to be scheduled for
00:03:36examination
00:03:40from me and my friends, namely, what's in
00:03:44tennis is
00:03:59right? The Constitutional Court's decision on the hot potato of the Vice President
00:04:02Gibran's diploma controversy rolled into parliament. The legal counsel for the plaintiff
00:04:05for Gibran's diploma, Ahmad Khazinuddin, asked the DPR to review
00:04:09the ID complaint through the applicable constitutional
00:04:13mechanism. Ahmad
00:04:16Khazinuddin claimed that the DPR could consider
00:04:19the right to state an opinion without having to go through the right of inquiry. However,
00:04:23this step is still a proposal from the complainant. Khazinuddin
00:04:27explained that the complaint submitted covers two aspects.
00:04:36namely allegations of legal issues related to educational equivalence documents and questions regarding the fulfillment of vice presidential office requirements. His party stated that reports related to these
00:04:40documents have also been submitted to Barri and
00:04:43are still awaiting follow-up. According to Hozinuddin, the DPR
00:04:47needs to review the ID complaint in accordance with constitutional
00:04:49authority.
00:04:55uh, our political party leaders are regulated in articles
00:04:587a, 7b, 8. and so on, who have the authority are
00:05:02actually the DPR, starting with the right of inquiry, namely
00:05:05conducting an investigation into public matters that
00:05:08need to be revealed by the DPR, but in our opinion...
00:05:12The DPR no longer needs to carry out the right of inquiry because the investigation has
00:05:16been carried out by the Constitutional Court and the violation has been found by the Constitutional Court
00:05:19in the form of the Vice President no longer fulfilling the requirements. So, in our opinion,
00:05:23through this letter we sent, the DPR should immediately escalate it to
00:05:26what is called an HMP, the right to state an opinion,
00:05:30that the DPR states that the President violated, uh, the Vice
00:05:34President violated the constitution because he no longer fulfilled the requirements, then
00:05:37it was authorized by the Constitutional Court, and then in Article
00:05:408, it was followed up with a trial.
00:06:20Brought to you by,
00:06:24Civet coffee, delicious coffee, comfortable to drink.
00:06:40Thick, yellowish haze due to forest
00:06:43and land fires covered Kotawaringin Timur Regency, Central Kalimantan.
00:06:47This condition has put the air quality in Kotim into the dangerous category.
00:07:01The Constitutional Court's Honorary Council stated that there were six reports of alleged
00:07:04ethical violations involving nine constitutional judges related to
00:07:08the dispute over the Vice President's diploma in hell. Three reports
00:07:11were declared dismissed, but the other three reports are still being processed.
00:07:31The conflict between the Houthi group in Yemen and Saudi Arabia escalated, after
00:07:35previously on Saturday, the Houthis launched an attack on Riyadh airport, killing
00:07:3812 people. On Sunday, the Houthis
00:07:42again launched an attack on Riyadh Airport, one person was reported dead and dozens

00:09:16Central Kalimantan continue to spread. The affected area is estimated
00:09:20to reach 54,000 hectares, while extinguishing efforts are still
00:09:23hampered by limited personnel and equipment
00:09:25as well.
00:09:29Fire burned the Tanjung Puting National Park area from two
00:09:33sides, the increasing extent of the fire makes extinguishing efforts
00:09:36more challenging. The government
00:09:39of West Kotawaringin regency prioritized three areas. that are the
00:09:42biggest contributors to smoke, namely the Pangkalan Bun-Kotawaringin
00:09:46Lama road, Tanjung Putri village and the Tanjung
00:09:50Puting National Park area. Limited personnel and
00:09:53equipment are obstacles to extinguishing efforts on the ground, therefore
00:09:56the local government requests support from the central government to immediately overcome
00:10:00the spreading fires.
00:10:14Thick smoke haze from forest and land fires engulfed the Trans
00:10:17Kalimantan southern route in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan.

00:10:50to be more careful. In the afternoon until evening,
00:10:54drivers must... turn on vehicle lights to
00:10:57help visibility and avoid accidents.
00:11:00One of the tank truck drivers named Muhammad
00:11:03Sema admitted that he was worried about the hazy
00:11:07conditions that disrupt health and limit visibility while driving.
00:11:11According to him, thick haze occurs at several points from

00:12:02Based on the air pollutant standard index data, air quality
00:12:05in Koti falls into the dangerous category, which is at
00:12:08318 PM 21 at 8
00:12:12am.
00:12:14Residents are asked to be more careful when doing outdoor
00:12:18activities, considering that exposure to forest and land fire smoke can trigger
00:12:22eye irritation and respiratory problems. One
00:12:25resident said that thick haze greatly disrupts activities,
00:12:28especially for drivers who have to be extra careful
00:12:32because the smoke limits visibility.
00:12:57It's really bad every morning
00:13:00and it's also quite concerning for breathing, especially
00:13:04for children, and for drivers too, don't forget to wear
00:13:07masks for our collective safety because currently
00:13:11the smoke is quite thick, right?
00:13:15Every morning it's very thick for Sampit, East
00:13:18Kotawaringin.
00:13:19timur
00:13:23Not only that, thick haze. also impacts flight activities at
00:13:27Hasan Airport Haji Hasan Sampit, for two
00:13:30weeks the airport's operational ID has been totally paralyzed. The airport
00:13:34head Haris said the visibility at the airport was only 100 meters so it did not
00:13:38allow flights to operate.
00:13:52Forest and land fires that are still occurring in Central Kalimantan are having
00:13:56an impact on the deteriorating air quality in Palangkaraya City, Central Kalimantan.
00:13:59Based on the Palangkaraya City government's forest and land fire
00:14:03dashboard data. On Monday, October 12,
00:14:062026, the air quality in Palangkaraya was in the
00:14:10dangerous category, with
00:14:116,258
00:14:14hotspots detected in Central Kalimantan with 657 hotspots
00:14:18detected in the Palangkaraya City area. Palangkaraya
00:14:21City government data recorded 84. cases
00:14:25of acute respiratory tract infections or ISPA as of October
00:14:2912, 2026. Amid
00:14:31these conditions, the public is advised to reduce outdoor activities,
00:14:35wear appropriate masks, and maintain
00:14:38health.
00:14:48And this time we are already connected viewers with our colleague Joey Jones
00:14:51who is in Palangkaraya. Joe, good afternoon, how is
00:14:55the haze in Palangkaraya for today, Joy?
00:14:58Was the smoke thick
00:15:00from the morning?
00:15:04Yes, Anggi and viewers, indeed since
00:15:07this afternoon, the air status in Palangkaraya
00:15:11city is still dangerous
00:15:14and as the afternoon progresses, it gets
00:15:17worse. Indeed, since the morning it has been in a dangerous status, but
00:15:21as the afternoon progresses, the smoke gets thicker.
00:15:25in Palangkaraya city, viewers, as an indicator
00:15:28of course, from the data we received from the
00:15:32BMKG website that the air
00:15:35indicator at 300 is
00:15:39a dangerous number, but due to how bad
00:15:43the air conditions in Palangkaraya city are,
00:15:47the air pollution index shows a number of
00:15:501,300
00:15:5309 viewers, this is at
00:15:56the number 300 only, Anggi and viewers, that is the last limit
00:16:00or after more than 300 is a dangerous number,
00:16:03and today, right now, as I am reporting, this has already...
00:16:07more than four times
00:16:10compared to the
00:16:13minimum number
00:16:16of good air to be inhaled
00:16:18by humans and not
00:16:21only from indicators, Anggi and viewers, I will invite you to
00:16:25show directly these numbers are indeed true
00:16:28because if you look, Anggi and
00:16:31viewers, you can see on your screen
00:16:34that as far as the eye can
00:16:37see, it's only smoke
00:16:41and the whole city of Palangkaraya
00:16:44is yellowish due to the sun that cannot penetrate
00:16:48the smoke that is there. I have been almost 4
00:16:52days, Anggi and viewers, in Palangkaraya city and not a single day
00:16:55have I felt direct sunlight on my
00:16:59skin because this is the condition from morning
00:17:03until night and it keeps repeating
00:17:06until now. I am reporting and
00:17:09conditions like this, Anggi and viewers,
00:17:12have been going on for more than
00:17:163 months for the people
00:17:18of Palangkaraya to deal with
00:17:21smoky conditions living in a city surrounded by
00:17:25smoke like this, but you can see, Anggi and viewers,
00:17:29if you also look at your screen and behind me right now,
00:17:32people seem to be carrying out
00:17:35normal activities
00:17:38them are not wearing masks. When I
00:17:42asked the community why they were doing
00:17:45normal activities as usual, they said that conditions like this
00:17:49did not happen in a matter
00:17:53of days but already for months and already more than 3
00:17:57months, so they have no other
00:18:00choice but to
00:18:02adapt to the poor
00:18:05air conditions.
00:18:08Nevertheless, Anggi and viewers, health
00:18:11indicators cannot be lied about because already more than
00:18:1511,000
00:18:18reported infected with respiratory
00:18:21tracts, even though they have tried to
00:18:24carry out normal activities, but the very
00:18:28poor air still has
00:18:32an impact, I mean, on the health of the community
00:18:36in Palangkaraya city. We know together that this is
00:18:39the effect or consequence of very widespread forest
00:18:43fires occurring. In Palangkaraya city
00:18:46alone, viewers, there are more than
00:18:4914,000 hectares of land
00:18:52that have burned and these
00:18:56hotspots continue
00:18:58to produce
00:19:00smoke that results in the haze
00:19:04that gathers in the city.
00:19:37widespread, so what they did when I asked
00:19:41was to make the maximum possible effort to
00:19:45extinguish the fire
00:19:48so that the land does not approach
00:19:51central areas such as residential areas or
00:19:55government offices, while
00:19:58for other large areas,
00:20:02it is indeed very difficult to cover
00:20:05due to the vastness of the area, plus the soil structure is
00:20:09peat soil that burns not only on the
00:20:12surface but at
00:20:15a depth of up to 3
00:20:18meters, making it very difficult
00:20:22to extinguish
00:20:25with the existing efforts. When I
00:20:29asked, they really hoped for rain, the people in Palangkaraya
00:20:32city, because rain is the most
00:20:35effective way to minimize
00:20:39or eliminate forest
00:20:42fires, so the effect is that Palangkaraya
00:20:44city can be free from
00:20:48smoke.
00:20:51Reporting from Palangkaraya, thank you,
00:20:55viewers, the government is exploring the use of fire extinguishing liquid from
00:20:58Brazil, called Realiza Anti
00:21:02Shamas, to help overcome forest and land fires in
00:21:05Indonesia. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Dudung Abdurrahman, said this liquid
00:21:09is expected to help extinguish fires in burned areas. Met at the Presidential
00:21:12Palace complex in Jakarta. Dudung explained
00:21:15that Realiza Anti Shamas liquid is assistance from
00:21:19Brazil. This liquid will settle after being sprayed onto
00:21:23burned land, so it is hoped that it can help stop the spread
00:21:26of fire. Officers will spray this extinguishing liquid from
00:21:29the air using helicopters and also carry out manual extinguishing involving
00:21:33personnel on the ground. Dudung emphasized that the government continues
00:21:37to optimize efforts to handle forest and land fires in a number of regions in Indonesia
00:21:40so that the fires can be
00:21:42immediately controlled.
00:21:47Yes, I am indeed. as
00:21:50the chairman of the steering committee, I should have gone to
00:21:53ee Sumatra Selatan
00:21:56recently. coincidentally there is
00:22:00assistance from Brazil, so
00:22:02it's one ee liquid, so if
00:22:06it is ee sprayed, it will
00:22:09settle and then ee can extinguish it. We have
00:22:12tested this in South Sumatra, in
00:22:15Kalimantan, hopefully this will continue.
00:22:19and ee it can be extinguished soon. What is the liquid, sir? And then it will be
00:22:22in the air. In the
00:22:25air. So later through the helicopter, including manual also
00:22:29through ee e members later who will
00:22:32later. The haze from forest and land fires in Indonesia is now
00:22:36covering Singapore and Malaysia. The smoke carried by the wind from Sumatra
00:22:40and Kalimantan has worsened the air quality in both countries, entering
00:22:44the very unhealthy
00:22:44category.

00:26:04continue to spread, with a total burned area of more than 8,000
00:26:07hectares. Several forest areas are affected, while haze still
00:26:11blankets the area. Fire consumed several forest
00:26:14areas, starting from Berbak 9 National Park in East
00:26:18Tanjung Jabung Regency, the Grand Forest area in
00:26:21Petenghari Regency to the Forest in Sungai Gelam Sub-district
00:26:24of Muaro Jambi Regency. To
00:26:27reach the fire points, the Jambi Forest and Land Fire Task Force deployed
00:26:30personnel through air and land extinguishing. There were
00:26:34four helicopters conducting water bombing deployed to help
00:26:38extinguish the fire from the air.
00:26:41became larger due to strong winds,
00:26:43the fire in 04
00:26:46was brought under control.
00:26:50ee it was burning in the national park area, in
00:26:53the border area between national park
00:26:569 and national park Berbak, then in
00:27:00Rantau Raso, then there's still some down
00:27:03here in the Tahura area,
00:27:06ee Kayu Hitam war, that's also still there, and in Sungai Gelam
00:27:10too, yesterday afternoon, e if the
00:27:12total for all of Jambi
00:27:16until ee today from January
00:27:19it's 8,284
00:27:23hectares. The haze from forest and land fires in
00:27:27Indonesia is now covering Singapore and Malaysia. The smoke carried
00:27:30by the wind from Sumatra and Kalimantan has worsened the air quality in several
00:27:34areas of both countries, even reaching the very unhealthy
00:27:38category.
00:27:43Singapore's usually clear skies are now covered in thick
00:27:46haze, several city icons including the Marina
00:27:49Bay Sands hotel are barely visible behind a blanket
00:27:53of smoke. Not only does it obscure the view, this haze also
00:27:56degrades Singapore's air quality to unhealthy and
00:28:00even very unhealthy categories, anticipating. worse impacts,
00:28:03the Singapore government is preparing several protective measures for its citizens,
00:28:07ranging from updating air quality information to providing
00:28:10masks and medical
00:28:12assistance.
00:28:18Let's move to Malaysia. In several areas, the air pollution index
00:28:22is recorded above 100, which indicates that the air quality has
00:28:26entered the unhealthy category. The thick smoke
00:28:29even obscures the view of several national icons including
00:28:32the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118. The
00:28:36impact is not only visible in the sky and on the streets,
00:28:40teaching and learning activities are also disrupted, so several
00:28:43schools have been forced to close.
00:28:55Forest and land fires in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan are still
00:28:58ongoing, and the haze has widespread impacts on health
00:29:01activities. daily life and also the community's economy.
00:29:05To discuss this, we are connected with Indah Restuati, who is one
00:29:09of the residents in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan. Ms. Indah, good
00:29:11afternoon.
00:29:16Well, good afternoon, Mr. Anggi. Yes, ma'am, thank you
00:29:20for joining us. We know that the situation of forest and land fires and haze
00:29:23there has been going on for quite a while, it was mentioned earlier
00:29:27that it's been 3 months, right? If you could tell us, Ms. Indah, how have
00:29:30you and your family been living day to day amid
00:29:34these conditions?
00:29:37Yes, uh, first I will explain first, uh, this afternoon
00:29:41I am in the large roundabout
00:29:43area or what we usually know as the Talawang monument.
00:29:47Okay, ladies and gentlemen, friends, you can see
00:29:51how the situation and conditions are right
00:29:53now.
00:29:56Even the Talawang monument behind me is almost invisible
00:29:59because it is covered by how thick
00:30:03the haze is in Palangkaraya city. Speaking of the activities we do
00:30:06as a community here, this is the reality we have to face every
00:30:10day, which we have to live with. Every day we
00:30:13are exposed to dangerous pollutants, every day we breathe in
00:30:17smoke that is so thick that some of us
00:30:21have no choice but to ee and considering that not everyone
00:30:24has the same privilege, there are some who still have
00:30:28to do activities outside the house to be able to survive and keep the wheels of
00:30:32life turning amidst the haze that is currently hitting us.
00:30:36Of course, ee for me, this is
00:30:39a compulsion where, whether they want to or not, people
00:30:43still have to carry out activities or
00:30:45activities
00:30:48normally in the midst of a situation and conditions that are currently
00:30:52not normal at all. Okay, Ms. Indah, if we look at the conditions around
00:30:55where Ms. Indah lives, right, how far has this fire spread?
