00:00Good evening, peace be upon you, and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:05Today is Saturday, the 19th, 19, 29, 26, 19 of September, 20, 20, 26.
00:14We've almost reached the 8th of Rabi Al-Akhir.
00:20Honestly, as I warned before about something very dangerous that could happen to Indonesia,
00:26whether it's massive fires or a devastating earthquake.
00:32Remember when we started talking about what's happening in Indonesia, specifically about the fires.
00:40And we talked about the Kalimantan province in Indonesia.
00:45Imagine the fires in Indonesian Kalimantan started about 12 or 13 days ago.
00:53The disaster in this matter, of course, as you can see, happened.
00:57Do you see it in front of you on the screen?
00:59This is a new video.
01:01A new fire in Kalimantan.
01:04The disaster is that the fires have still been ongoing for 12 or even 13 days in Kalimantan.
01:11And Indonesia has not been able to control these fires up to this moment.
01:18Many firefighters have lost their lives.
01:24They are fighting the fires in Indonesia.
01:26For example, look at the streets.
01:28In many cities in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan, there's smoke.
01:33And this situation has been ongoing for 12 or 13 days.
01:38It's very difficult for Indonesia to control this massive scale of fires.
01:44Do you see here?
01:46Here, the smoke fills the cities in the area of Muaratui and Blankaria in the province of Kalimantan in Indonesia.
01:55People are living with the smoke.
01:58Smoke, forest fires everywhere.
02:01The issue isn't just in Kalimantan.
02:03The smoke, as you know, travels.
02:06The smoke from the fires travels.
02:08And it's already traveling to Malaysia.
02:10And it's having a big impact on Malaysia, for example.
02:14Look, just a little while ago, a new fire reached the houses.
02:19The fires have actually started to reach the houses now.
02:23Up until now, there are tens of thousands who have been evacuated from their homes,
02:29who have left their homes because the fires have reached them.
02:32And this is a new clip of a new fire reaching a new place in Kalimantan, meaning it has actually
02:38reached the houses there.
02:40All right.
02:41What do the satellite images say?
02:43You're telling me about this topic, but I'm always monitoring.
02:47I look at the box from the outside.
02:49I occupy an industrial declaration.
02:52And I saw.
02:56An important indicator is the smoke index, which can measure the amount of smoke present in a certain place.
03:02And currently, carbon monoxide is the appropriate indicator.
03:06I took this picture from the satellites.
03:09Look, I put it in front of you on the screen.
03:12Do you see how carbon monoxide gas is filling the province alarmingly?
03:16It's very dense.
03:18Honestly, when I first saw the indicator, it's the first time I've seen an indicator this widespread.
03:24It's a huge amount.
03:25The indicator is telling me that there are huge amounts of carbon monoxide, guys, in the Kalimantan province.
03:32The readings are extremely high and very dangerous.
03:35I always like to put everything in front of you.
03:38What you're seeing here from Kalimantan is the carbon monoxide indicator.
03:47Honestly, let me talk before I tell you how this gas can affect humans.
03:55It seems there is something there.
03:58Something is being prepared for this country.
04:01Something is being prepared for Indonesia.
04:04Why hasn't Indonesia received any international aid for governance today?
04:10From these fires that have been burning for 12 or 13 days?
04:14Why?
04:16I don't know if Malaysia is involved or not.
04:18I think Malaysia is helping a little, but it's not enough.
04:21Malaysia already has enough problems of its own.
04:24The smoke from the fire doesn't even reach them.
04:28And even Malaysia's health, it seems, is not enough to put out these fires.
04:37Indonesia is burning in every sense of the word.
04:40I mean, it's the first time I've seen something like this.
04:43I don't know if you've seen it on other media outlets.
04:46Why are global media outlets ignoring what's happening in Indonesia?
04:51I've already said something specific to the members.
04:53I answered this question, but let me ask you again today.
04:56And you know the videos I showed the members, I told you about them.
04:59There is something waiting for Indonesia.
05:04Something very dangerous is waiting for this country.
05:13Who benefits from the continuation of these terrible fires in Indonesia.
05:22And whoever thinks that these fires only affect Indonesia is mistaken.
05:28The fires are consuming the lungs of the earth.
05:32The earth, my friends, is 12 days, 12 days.
05:35And you are talking about one of the most important regions in the world, the Pacific Ocean.
05:45The Pacific Ocean, which is already suffering.
05:52From the El Nino phenomenon, especially the super El Nino phenomenon that affects the whole world.
05:58And I do not deny that one of the causes of the fires in Kalimantan and in Indonesia is the
06:04El Nino phenomenon.
06:06The El Nino phenomenon.
06:08Because it's droughts, because the sea temperature rises, which contributes to raising temperatures everywhere around it.
06:17So it contributes to drought.
06:18And drought leads to heat all around.
06:21We saw the fires in Spain.
06:23We saw the fires in Algeria.
06:25We saw the fires in France.
06:26We saw the fires in Tunisia.
06:28And we saw, and we saw, and we saw.
06:30So imagine if Indonesia is already in the Pacific Ocean and is directly affected by this phenomenon.
06:37But that's not my question here.
06:42Yes, the main cause of the fires is the El Nino phenomenon.
06:47But why were they allowed to spread over such vast areas of Kalimantan?
06:54Why was this huge amount of smoke coming out of Kalimantan in Indonesia allowed to happen?
07:04It's like you're sitting in your own house.
07:06I mean, like you're sitting in your own house.
07:10And in your province, and you feel safe, regardless, I don't want to name a country so I don't get
07:16myself in trouble.
07:17But you're sitting in your house.
07:18And let's say you're in province A.
07:20Province A is called S.
07:22Province S.
07:23And far from you is province D.
07:25About 300 or 400 kilometers away.
07:27You're seeing the smoke from far away.
07:30And you say, oh, God, it's unbelievable.
07:31They still haven't put out the fires yet.
07:33It's not a problem.
07:34The important thing is, I'm fine.
07:36But why aren't you fine?
07:37The smoke reached you.
07:38Even though you're 400 kilometers away, the smoke reached your house.
07:42And if you're 800 kilometers away, the smoke will also reach you.
07:46It will get to your house after 10 days.
07:48And if you're 1,000 kilometers away, even 2,000 kilometers away, air quality in your area will be affected.
07:56And the more the fires increase and the longer the fires continue, they will completely affect the weather around the
08:03world.
08:05And yet, we see there is no regular aid for Indonesia.
08:10And there seems to be a desire for these fires to continue.
08:14This is carbon monoxide, which you saw as that black image filling Kalimantan.
08:20It's one of the most dangerous gases for human health.
08:24First, it reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen.
08:32Then, a person starts to experience symptoms like constant headaches, dizziness, feeling tired, shortness of breath.
08:41And eventually, it may faint, and it could even lead to death.
09:04Let's talk somewhere else where we can relax and not feel pressured.
