00:00The UN is calling for investigations into reportedly excessive use of force
00:05in response to protests that have broken out across Indonesia.
00:09At least eight people are dead after days of violence,
00:12sparked by grievances such as lavish perks for lawmakers
00:15and the police killing of a bystander.
00:18Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has pledged to cut some of those perks
00:22as a concession to protesters, but warned that security forces would enforce order.
00:27While his warning did cause some protests to be postponed, others are going ahead.
00:32This is the biggest challenge to Prabowo's government since taking office last year.
