Picture 4. 6 Lockdown-example of news item

Italy has extended its lockdown until Easter, but there is some hope as the country
reports a declining infection rate. The number of new coronavirus infections reported on
Monday was 1,648, as opposed to 3,815 the previous day. The death toll, however, rose
again, with 812 deaths reported, compared with 756 the day before.

Italy believes the peak of its crisis will come in just over a week's time. It is the world's
hardest hit country in terms of number of deaths. In total, 11,591 have died in the
country, the government says.

On Monday, the national doctors' association announced the deaths of 11 more doctors,
taking the total up to 61. The lockdown-which was due to end on Friday-will now
continue until at least 12 April, which is Easter Sunday.

Italians have been living under these strict rules for three weeks, with most shops, bars
and restaurants shut. They are not allowed to leave their homes unless it is deemed
essential. The governor of the southern region of Puglia said on Saturday the restrictions
should remain in place until May.

Area burned in 2019 forest fires in Indonesia exceeds 2018
Reuters│Environment│October 21, 2019│4:16 PM

JAKARTA (Reuters)-The amount of land in Indonesia consumed by fires through
September this year has exceeded the amount burned during all of 2018, according to
data given by a government official on Monday.

Raffles Panjaitan, forest fire management acting director at the Forestry and
Environment Ministry, told reporters that by the end of September 2019 a total of
857,756 hectares (2.12 million acres) had been burned.

That is more than the 529,267 hectares that burned in 2018, according to Indonesian
government data. The fires have consumed the most land since 2015, when government
data showed 2.6 million hectares burned.

The area burned surged from 328,724 hectares that was consumed between January and
August, Panjaitan said, and added that the size of the burned area is expected to
continue expanding this month, although not “as drastic” as last month’s.
“Fire fighting is continued to be carried out, even today the teams are on the ground
working to prevent escalation”, Panjaitan said.

The country has spent months to battle forest fires in Sumatra and Borneo that have
caused thick haze which drifted over neighboring Malaysia and Singapore.

Rain has started falling in some areas on Sumatra which offered some respite, but
Panjaitan does not expect the rainy season to fully arrive until around mid-November.

Forest and peat fires typically take place in Sumatra and Borneo, often linked to slash-
and-burn practices to clear areas for palm cultivation.

However, Panjaitan warned that there are rising cases of fire in Java island, including in
conservation areas.
On Sunday, the country’s disaster mitigation agency said four hikers were evacuated
from Mount Ranti in East Java due to forest fire.

164

“In Java, the fires are usually unintentional because people who went to hike throw
away cigarette butts carelessly,” Panjaitan said.

Gresik residents made to dig graves as punishment for not wearing face masks
The Jakarta Post Jakarta / Thursday, September 10, 2020 / 05:34 pm

Eight people in Gresik regency, East Java, were ordered by local authorities to dig
graves for those who have died of COVID-19 as punishment for not wearing face masks
in public. Cerme district head, Suyono, said that he punished residents who did not wear
face masks by making them dig graves at a public cemetery in Ngabetan village.

“There are only three available gravediggers at the moment, so I thought I might as
well put these people to work with them,” said Suyono as quoted by tribunnews.com on
Wednesday, adding that local authorities made sure the health protocol violators did not
participate in the burials. To assist the gravediggers, Suyono assigned two people to
each grave. One is tasked with digging the grave, while the other lays wooden boards
inside the hole to support the corpse. “Hopefully this can create a deterrent effect
against violations,” Suyono said.

169

He also said the number of COVID-19 cases was continuing to increase in Cerme,

prompting the village administration to strengthen protocols in the village. Based on the

Regent Law No. 22/2020, residents who violate the protocols are subject to fines or

community service as punishment. Separately, Cerme Police chief Adj. Pol. Comm.

Moh. Nur Amin said the police would cooperate with the military to enforce the
protocols, such as by dispersing public gatherings. “We urge the public to wear face
masks in accordance with the COVID-19 health protocols,” he said. (dpk)

Question for number 1 until 5

Indonesia forest fires surge, stoking global warming fears

Dessy Sagita - Agence France-Presse
Pekanbaru, Riau / Thursday, September 12, 2019 / 03:30 pm

The number of blazes in Indonesia's rainforests has jumped sharply, satellite data
showed Thursday, spreading smog across Southeast Asia and adding to concerns about
the impact of increasing wildfire outbreaks worldwide on global warming.

Illegal blazes to clear land for agricultural plantations have been raging on Sumatra and
Kalimantan islands, with Indonesia deploying water-bombing helicopters and thousands
of security forces to tackle them.

It is just the latest such outbreak worldwide -- huge blazes have torn through the
Amazon in South America while bushfires are sweeping across eastern Australia in an
unusually ferocious and early start to the wildfire season.

Indonesia's forest fires are an annual problem but have been worsened this year by
particularly dry weather, and in recent days sent toxic smog floating over Malaysia and
triggered a diplomatic row.

The number of "hotspots" -- areas of intense heat detected by satellite which indicate a
high chance of fire -- jumped sharply in Indonesia on Wednesday, according to the
Singapore-based ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre.

There were 1,619 hotspots detected on the Indonesian part of Kalimantan and Sumatra
up from 861 a day earlier, according to a tally from the centre, which monitors forest
fires and smog outbreaks.

Kiki Taufik, a forests campaigner with Greenpeace in Indonesia, told AFP there has
been little rain in the past fortnight, particularly on Kalimantan which saw the sharpest
increase in hotspots.

Coordinating Maritime Minister Luhut Pandjaitan said on Tuesday that Singapore had
offered to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) for power generations in several locations
in Indonesia.

The offer was discussed in a meeting held at the Office of the Maritime Coordinating
Minister with state electricity company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

Luhut said that the LNG supply would be used to power several power plants in seven
areas with close proximity to Singapore.

"Singapore has offered LNG to fuel power plants in seven places, including in Nias,
North Sumatra, in Lhouksemawe, Aceh, and in Riau, to name a few,” Luhut said. He
added that the LNG would be supplied for small power plants with the capacity between
25 megawatt to 50 megawatt.

"The total capacity would be almost 500 megawatt, but it would be divided in several
remote places,” he said.

Luhut said that the government would open a tender for the procurement, but he refused
to confirm which Singapore companies would participate. (dis)

Man climbs electricity tower in North Jakarta

Jakarta | Tuesday, August 15, 2017 | 10:21 pm

Agustinus Woro, who is infamous for climbing advertising hoardings and electricity
towers, has been on top of an electricity tower on Jl. Yos Sudarso in Tanjung Priok,
North Jakarta, since Monday.

Agustinus appeared to be haranguing crowds of onlookers below with a loud-hailer but
it was unclear what he was actually saying. The man took similar action in May when
he climbed a 15-meter advertising hoarding in Setiabudi, South Jakarta. He hung a
banner from the hoarding calling for the dissolution of political parties.

He climbed another hoarding in Slipi, West Jakarta in February, carrying four banners
stating “Orphans are victims of crazy gambler army”, “Adonara man shot dead”,
“People, Densus 88, terrorist” and “Dissolve, close prisons”.

The motive behind the current action remains a mystery. “Get down! Are you looking
for attention? That’s dangerous,” one resident shouted at him.

According to an official at the scene, Agustinus carried food in a bag and slept in a
makeshift hammock slung between two poles. (wnd)

Indonesia's health system on the brink as coronavirus surge looms

Tom Allard and Stanley Widianto – Reuters
Jakarta / Wednesday, March 25, 2020 / 05:18 pm

Indonesia has a significant deficit in hospital beds, medical staff and intensive care
facilities as health experts warn that it is primed to become a new epicenter of the
coronavirus pandemic, according to data reviewed by Reuters.

Health experts say Indonesia faces a surge in coronavirus cases after a slow government
response masked the scale of the outbreak in the world’s fourth most populous country
Indonesia has recorded 686 cases but the data is seen as understating the scale of
infections because of a low rate of testing and a high mortality rate.

Indonesia has reported 55 deaths, the highest in Southeast Asia. A study by the London-
based Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases released on Monday
estimates that as few as 2% of Indonesia's coronavirus infections have been reported.

182

That would bring the true number to as many as 34,300, which is more than Iran. Other
modelers are projecting that cases could rise to as many as 5 million in the capital,
Jakarta, by the end of April under a worst-case scenario.

"We have lost control, it has already spread everywhere," Ascobat Gani, a public health
economist told Reuters. "Maybe we will follow Wuhan or Italy. I think we are in the
range of that". The government says the impact of the virus will not be that severe.
