The Deputy for Economic and Investment Cooperation Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Edi Prio Pambudi, said Indonesia is strengthening inter-agency coordination in response to an indicative checklist evaluating how well national regulations align with CPTPP provisions.

“Amid uncertainty in international economic relations, trust in agreed-upon rules becomes increasingly important,” Edi said in a statement Indonesia believes an orderly, transparent, and fair trading system provides certainty for businesses while ensuring the benefits of economic integration are felt by the broader public, he added.

Edi noted that the government’s preparations span key areas such as market access, investment, customs, rules of origin, government procurement, competition policy, state-owned enterprises (SOEs), digital trade, labor, and the environment.

Through this mapping, the government is urging all ministries and agencies to strengthen synergy in preparing a comprehensive and transparent response to CPTPP provisions.

Indonesia previously welcomed the CPTPP Commission’s decision in June 2023 to launch preparatory talks with Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United Arab Emirates, following an assessment under the Auckland Principles.

“This stage provides an opportunity for Indonesia to explain its existing policies, gather feedback, and identify areas that still need strengthening. The subsequent formation of an Accession Working Group (AWG) remains subject to applicable procedures and the consensus of CPTPP members,” he said.

The Indonesian government views CPTPP accession as an opportunity to deepen economic partnerships and support supply chain diversification. Membership in the trade pact is also expected to unlock opportunities for businesses in the manufacturing and services sectors.

As conveyed by Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry, Indonesia is closely following the selection process, especially after the conclusion of the 7th straw poll at the UN Security Council on October 30.

“Indonesia supports a credible, transparent, and impartial selection process guided by the UN Charter and a strong commitment to multilateralism,” the Foreign Ministry stated in its social media, observed

Indonesia also viewed the recent entry of Lana Nusseibeh, nominated by the United Arab Emirates, as “part of this selection process.”

The Foreign Ministry stated that the Secretary General’s election “comes at a critical time for the United Nations and the world.”

Indonesia believed that the UN needs leadership that brings nations together, promotes respect for international law, and advances UN reform.

Indonesia also expected the new UN leadership to amplify the voices of developing countries and deliver concrete results to all, the Foreign Ministry remarked.

The UN Secretary General’s election process remains inconclusive, as the latest straw poll failed to produce clear outcomes and consensus among its member states.

According to leaked straw poll results, as reported by Xinhua, former Costa Rican vice president and Secretary General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Rebeca Grynspan revealed as a frontrunner in the race, gaining 11 endorsements and 4 “discourage” votes.

Grynspan was followed by Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi of Argentina, who received nine “encouraged” votes, four “discouraged” votes, and one “no opinion” mark.

Following the deadlock, Turkey officially nominated Secretary General of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Feridun Sinirlioglu as the new UN Secretary General.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had conveyed the nomination letter to the President of the UN General Assembly and the Chair of the UN Security Council on Friday.

Antonio Guterres, the current UN Secretary General, will end his tenure at the end of this year, with his successor commencing their tenure on January 1, 2027.

“We aim to expand across five countries within the next two years. Several prospective markets are currently under evaluation, one of which is in Africa,” Garuda Indonesia Commissioner Chairal Tanjung said Tuesday at Muscat International Airport.

The expansion follows the inauguration of Oman GMF Technic, a joint venture that has secured regulatory approval as Oman’s first commercial aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider. GMF President Director Andi Fahrurrozi noted that the company is also preparing a technical partnership with an East Asian flag carrier for 2027.

The push abroad aims to relieve capacity constraints at domestic hangars and rebalance GMF’s revenue mix to a 50:50 split between parent group airlines and third-party carriers by 2030, down from Garuda’s current 67 percent share

Supported by a $2 million initial investment from GMF for specialized tooling alongside Omani-provided hangar infrastructure, full commercial operations in Muscat will launch in January 2027.

The facility will initially service Boeing 737 NG/MAX, Airbus A320, and Boeing 787 aircraft, targeting Middle Eastern carriers to bypass heavy-maintenance ferry flights to Europe or China.

Bek Timnas Indonesia, Jay Idzes, tampil penuh selama 90 menit dalam laga tersebut. Meski begitu, ia tidak mampu membendung tiga gol AS Roma yang dicetak Mario Hermoso, gol bunuh diri Sebastian Walukiewicz, dan Rodrigo Mora.

Kemenangan ini mengantarkan AS Roma ke peringkat kedua klasemen Liga Italia dengan 27 poin.

Serigala Ibu Kota menekan Lazio yang kini menghimpun 28 poin. Sementara itu, Sassuolo berada di posisi ke-17 dengan 8 poin, demikian laman resmi legaseriea.

AS Roma membuka keunggulan pada menit ke-27 melalui Mario Hermoso. Gol tersebut berawal dari kemelut di kotak penalti Sassuolo.

Hermoso mengirimkan umpan ke arah Donyell Malen, tetapi Jay Idzes dapat memotong bola. Namun, bola kembali dikuasai Hermoso yang kemudian melakukan gerak tipu sebelum melepaskan tembakan keras menggunakan kaki kiri. Bola meluncur deras ke dalam gawang Sassuolo tanpa mampu dihentikan kiper Arijanet Muric.

Tiga menit berselang, Roma menggandakan keunggulan menjadi 2–0. Kali ini, gol tercipta akibat kesalahan pemain Sassuolo, Sebastian Walukiewicz.

Berawal dari tembakan Malen di dalam kotak penalti yang sempat membentur Jay Idzes, bola kemudian mengarah kepada Walukiewicz. Bek Sassuolo itu bermaksud membuang bola, tetapi sepakannya justru mengarah ke gawang sendiri.

Sassuolo tertinggal dua gol hingga babak pertama berakhir. Memasuki paruh kedua, tim tamu berusaha memperkecil ketertinggalan, tetapi kesulitan menciptakan peluang berbahaya dan lebih banyak berada di bawah tekanan Roma.

Tuan rumah justru semakin menjauh pada menit ke-58 melalui Rodrigo Mora. Pemain tersebut melakukan penetrasi ke kotak penalti Sassuolo sebelum melakukan kombinasi umpan satu-dua dengan Malen.

Mora kemudian melepaskan tembakan mendatar menyilang yang tidak mampu dijangkau Muric. Roma pun unggul 3–0.

Sassuolo berusaha mencari gol balasan pada sisa pertandingan, tetapi tidak ada gol tambahan yang tercipta hingga peluit panjang dibunyikan. Roma memastikan kemenangan meyakinkan dengan skor 3–0.

Hasil ini menjadi pukulan bagi Sassuolo yang gagal membawa pulang poin dari markas Roma. Sementara itu, Jay Idzes harus menerima kekalahan meski tampil penuh sepanjang pertandingan.

“Angkatan bersenjata Yaman melaksanakan enam operasi militer khusus dengan menggunakan sejumlah besar rudal balistik, rudal jelajah, dan pesawat nirawak (drone),” kata juru bicara angkatan bersenjata Houthi, Yahya Saree, melalui Telegram.

“Operasi pertama menargetkan Bandara Internasional King Khalid, tangki penyimpanan minyak, serta menara distilasi milik Aramco di Riyadh, ibu kota musuh Saudi,” imbuh juru bicara tersebut.

Dia mengatakan operasi kedua menargetkan fasilitas Saudi Aramco di Khurais, wilayah timur Arab Saudi, sedangkan operasi ketiga menyasar stasiun pompa di kawasan Dawadmi.

Houthi juga melancarkan operasi terhadap pasukan Arab Saudi di sebuah kamp Garda Nasional di Najran. Selain itu, Saree mengatakan dua operasi lainnya dilakukan di wilayah Yaman utara dengan menyasar pasukan pro-Arab Saudi yang dipimpin oleh para perwira militer Saudi.

Hingga berita ini ditulis, Arab Saudi belum mengonfirmasi laporan mengenai serangan terhadap bandara di Riyadh tersebut.

Numerous big names have been linked to the job, including Howe, Antonio Conte and Julian Nagelsmann. Howe is on the market after leaving Newcastle in the summer and would be a popular choice among some fans.

However, according to the Independent, United are ‘much less sold’ on the former Bournemouth manager than is widely believed. The same report says Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeness is highly rated.

Hoeness’s stock is high after leading Stuttgart to Champions League qualification and Germany Cup glory since inheriting a side in relegation danger in 2023. Hiring the 44-year-old would draw parallels with the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who was on a similar upward curve with Sporting CP before his ill-fated spell at Old Trafford.

United are reportedly determined to end their cycle of caretaker managers if they decide to part ways with Carrick. Temporary appointments have become a familiar fallback at Old Trafford in recent times.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer originally stepped in on an interim basis before earning the permanent role, while Ralf Rangnick was brought in to see out the campaign following the Norwegian’s dismissal in November 2021. Carrick himself had a spell as caretaker over the second half of last season.

However, according to Sky Sports, director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada would prefer a permanent successor over another short-term fix if they decide to dispense with Carrick, who, for now, has the club’s backing.

Carrick is urging the team to build on the morale-lifting win over Roma when they face Villa. He said: “It was a fantastic night as a one-off night. It was a good night for us all, but nothing has been achieved yet. It’s one moment we need to use to move forward.

“When you watch the game [against Roma] back, the first half wasn’t so bad. There were moments when we left ourselves short, and we need to fix them.

“The first half against Chelsea was very good. We’re showing signs of improvement, no doubt, and we need to take that forward.”

Or at least what it thinks the X-70 will look like once built. The agency released a short statement on Wednesday (Nov. 4) announcing the X-plane, or experimental plane, declaring it to be a highly maneuverable test bed with a “rapidly reconfigurable flight-control technology,” allowing NASA to swap both external and internal components on-the-fly. This modular architecture will allow NASA to “explore aircraft maneuverability in ways never before demonstrated in crewed flight,” according to the agency’s statement.

The announcement was made alongside an AI-generated image showing two canted vertical tail fins emerging from swirling smoke. Little can be gleaned from the image about what final form the X-70 might take, but the tail fins are somewhat reminiscent of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor or Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet.

“The X-70 Fractal gives NASA a crewed, high-performance platform to test advanced flight-control, maneuverability, and other cutting-edge technologies in real flight,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said in the statement. The NASA chief called the aircraft “just one part of this new beginning for aeronautics” and said that the agency expects the X-70 to make its first flight within two years.

“This is why people come to NASA: to build, to learn, and most importantly, to fly,” Isaacman added.

NASA’s statement fleshes out a few details about the X-70’s capabilities. According to the agency, Fractal will fly at a cruise speed of Mach .75, about the same as a Boeing 737 Classic. The X-70 will be able to reach altitudes of up to 45,000 feet (13.7 kilometers), and will have a range exceeding 1,726 miles (2,777 kilometers, or 1,500 nautical miles).

The X-70 Fractal will also be able to carry around 2,000 pounds (900 kg) of experimental payloads both internally and externally, which will allow for a “wide range of research and flight-testing opportunities,” NASA said in the statement.

NASA adds it will have a takeoff weight of 10,000 pounds (4,535 kilograms), around the same weight as the Scaled Composites- and Northrop Grumman-developed Model 437 Vanguard experimental aircraft. In fact, the two aircraft share a similar silhouette — at least in the AI image of the X-70 Fractal NASA has released so far.

The agency’s most recent X-plane, the X-59, has been flying for over a year. That jet features a radical long-nosed geometry without a forward windscreen; pilots fly by way of an augmented reality screen that combines views from sensors and a forward-facing camera.

That geometry dampens the shockwaves coming off of the X-59 when it flies faster than the sound barrier, allowing it to fly at speeds over Mach 1 without the thunderous sonic booms that typically accompany supersonic flight.

There are numerous experimental aircraft being developed by private companies, such as Boom Supersonic’s X-1 jet, which, like the X-59, aims to develop technologies that lessen the auditory impact of sonic booms on the ground.

In terms of other government X-plane projects, Boeing is working on the F-47, a next-generation stealth fighter for use by the U.S. military, and DARPA, the Pentagon’s research agency, has an X-plane project of its own known as CRANE.

“The assistance aims to meet basic needs and alleviate the suffering of affected communities,” KSrelief said in a press release received by ANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday.

The launch took place in Satar Kampas Village, East Manggarai District, East Nusa Tenggara, attended by BAZNAS distribution officials, the district head and representatives of local government agencies, disaster authorities and KSrelief.

The first phase involves distributing 15,000 food baskets and 15,000 personal hygiene kits to more than 75,000 earthquake-affected people.

KSrelief and BAZNAS teams also visited affected areas and met local officials to assess humanitarian conditions, identify community needs and determine priority assistance across various sectors.

“These activities will help determine appropriate humanitarian interventions in subsequent phases based on the actual needs of affected communities,” KSrelief said.

The center said the initiative forms part of Saudi Arabia’s broader humanitarian and relief efforts to assist people affected by disasters and crises worldwide and ease their suffering.

Speaking in Jakarta on Thursday, Child Social Rehabilitation Director Kahono Agung Suhartoyo said some of the children, victims of a trafficking syndicate uncovered by West Java police in 2025, had obtained Singaporean citizenship.

Singaporean courts granted citizenship to those children, while adoption proceedings involving the remaining eight are still underway.

“Singaporean authorities asked us about the eight children whose adoption cases are still being processed. We said the adoptions were illegal because they did not meet Indonesia’s requirements,” he said.

Suhartoyo said Indonesia imposes strict regulations on international adoptions.

All applications must be submitted through the Child Adoption Advisory Team (Tim PIPA), which includes representatives from various government ministries and institutions.

Its members include the police, National Police Security Intelligence Agency (Baintelkam), Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), and the foreign and social affairs ministries.

Prospective adoptive parents must have lived in Indonesia for at least two years, be no older than 55 and pass physical and psychological health assessments.

Suhartoyo said the government considered the overseas adoptions procedurally invalid because the children’s transfer involved a trafficking syndicate, as established by a Bandung court ruling.

“We are maintaining close communication and coordination through the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore to explore possible solutions, including returning the children to Indonesia,” he said.

The Social Affairs Ministry is ready to protect the children and provide social rehabilitation if they are repatriated to Indonesia.

The ministry is also tracing the children’s biological parents to ensure their eventual reintegration into their families.

Suhartoyo said KPAI findings indicated that the children came from families in West Java, but their civil registration documents were falsified to identify them as residents of West Kalimantan.

“The ministry is ready to receive the children and provide rehabilitation within its mandate. Since they are still babies, we will first trace their parents and establish their whereabouts,” he said.

“We will then ensure their return to their families, a process known as reintegration,” Suhartoyo added.

Direktur Utama PAM Jaya Arief Nasrudin di Bandung, Jumat (30/10), menyebutkan hal itu merupakan hasil penelitian Badan Geologi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) yang membandingkan kondisi Jakarta pada rentang 2018 hingga 2025.

“Terbukti, volume air yang ada di tanah sudah mulai terisi dan kemudian bisa menahan laju turunnya muka tanah yang ada di Jakarta,” kata Arief.

Menurut dia, dengan adanya layanan air bersih melalui jaringan pipa, ketergantungan warga terhadap pengambilan air tanah diharapkan semakin berkurang.

“Riset dari Kementerian ESDM, Jakarta berhasil menahan laju penurunan muka tanah. Ini menandakan bahwa masyarakat Jakarta sudah banyak mulai menggunakan air perpipaan,” ujar Arief.

Dia menuturkan capaian tersebut membuktikan perluasan jaringan perpipaan tidak hanya berkaitan dengan pemenuhan kebutuhan air bersih masyarakat, tetapi juga memiliki dampak terhadap upaya perbaikan lingkungan di Jakarta.

Arief pun mengapresiasi jajaran Dinas Sumber Daya Air (SDA) DKI Jakarta atas sinergi yang selama ini terjalin bersama PAM Jaya dalam memperluas akses layanan air perpipaan.

Dia menilai kolaborasi antarlembaga tersebut menjadi salah satu faktor penting dalam mempercepat pembangunan infrastruktur air bersih di Jakarta.

“Ini sesuatu yang secara fakta, bahwa layanan 83 persen ternyata terlihat dari riset yang dilakukan bukan oleh kami. Ini Badan Geologi yang melakukan riset,” tutur Arief.

Berdasarkan data PAM Jaya hingga September 2026, jumlah pelanggan telah mencapai 1.222.484 sambungan, dengan total penerima manfaat sekitar sembilan juta jiwa.

Sementara itu, cakupan pelayanan air perpipaan tercatat sebesar 83,27 persen.

Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan, PAM Jaya saat ini memiliki kapasitas suplai air sebesar 23.051 liter per detik (LPS), didukung jaringan pipa sepanjang 13.094 kilometer.

Meski demikian, Arief menegaskan perusahaan masih memiliki pekerjaan besar untuk menuntaskan target pelayanan air perpipaan 100 persen pada 2029.

Dalam target tersebut, PAM Jaya membidik jumlah pelanggan sebanyak 2.016.011 sambungan dengan kapasitas suplai mencapai 32.159 LPS.

Panjang jaringan pipa juga ditargetkan meningkat menjadi 16.234 kilometer, dengan dukungan 28 Instalasi Pengolahan Air (IPA).

Arief mengungkapkan berbagai upaya tersebut membutuhkan kerja berkelanjutan serta dukungan dari seluruh pemangku kepentingan.

Peningkatan layanan air perpipaan, kata dia, bukan hanya ditujukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat, melainkan juga menjadi bagian dari upaya menjaga keberlanjutan lingkungan Jakarta.
