Episode #441: “I just thought, ‘Someone has to stay and bear witness,'” says Paul Greening, a veteran humanitarian with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). For decades he moved between crises—Afghanistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, East Timor—but Myanmar, and the Rohingya tragedy in particular, define his moral world. He first encountered the Rohingya in 2008 while in Aceh, when boats of desperate families arrived on Indonesian shores. Unprepared officials and global indifference convinced him to keep their story alive within humanitarian networks, a concern that eventually drew him to Myanmar itself. He arrived in August 2017, and felt strongly that a catastrophe was about to unfold. Weeks later, the campaign began. When his IOM contract ended, Greening stayed on in Rakhine, linking aid agencies with local civil society and supporting the 2019 White Rose campaign of interfaith solidarity. Trapped in Bangkok by COVID, he later moved to Mae Sot, where he now supports exiled youth and the wounded. “They're inspiring,” he says. “They're not giving up!” Greening finds particular inspiration in both the leading role taken in the resistance by Burmese youth, and by Myanmar's emerging cross-ethnic unity: “That's the real revolution,” he says, “ethnic cooperation.” At the same time, he has reasons for concern, such as the lack of full acceptance of women and LGBTQ youth in the movement, as well as in a future, post-conflict Myanmar. He also wants to ensure that the movement is not co-opted by career politicians who have fled the area for their own safety but intend to regain power in a post-conflict Myanmar. Greening is unsentimental about how many revolutions turn out, and the effects of trauma across generations, yet still has hope. “If [the people] can be more united,” he says, “then we move the revolution forward again.”
The number of dead in the devastating floods and landslides on the Indonesian island of Sumatra has risen to more than 700. In addition, 500 people are still reported missing, with many feared buried under mud. Around one million people have been evacuated from their homes, with meaningful assistance still yet to reach hard-hit isolated areas. Newshour got through to one resident, a man called Lodewick Marpaung in north Sumatra. He pleaded for help. Also in the programme: US envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to the Kremlin - can he strike a deal on Ukraine? Also, Japan's new leader says she's giving up her own work-life balance - and everyone must 'work like a horse'.

Kementerian Pertahanan berencana menambah tentara di tiga kota strategis yang disebut sebagai "center of gravity" yaitu Jakarta, Aceh, dan Papua. Dalihnya demi stabilitas nasional di tengah meningkatnya potensi ancaman terhadap aktivitas sosial, ekonomi, dan pembangunan.Jakarta dipilih karena pusat pemerintahan, Aceh sebagai wilayah terluar sisi barat RI, dan Papua karena butuh pengamanan khusus, terkait juga dengan kondisi geopolitik yang masih bergejolak di sana.Selain itu, pemerintah menargetkan pembangunan 150 batalion tiap tahun, dengan dalih mengamankan industri strategis yang dianggap berkaitan dengan kedaulatan negara, seperti kilang minyak Pertamina.Berbagai langkah ini ditengarai sarat kepentingan politik. Muncul pula kekhawatiran bakal memantik trauma masa lalu saat Orde Baru memberlakukan darurat militer dan daerah operasi militer (DOM).Seberapa urgen penambahan tentara di Jakarta, Aceh, dan Papua? Bagaimana dengan target seratusan batalion per tahun? Apa saja yang perlu diwaspadai dari berbagai kebijakan tersebut? Bagaimana respon wakil rakyat?Di Ruang Publik KBR kita akan bahas topik ini bersama Kepala Badan Intelijen Strategis (Kabais) 2011-2013 Soleman B. Ponto, Wakil Ketua Komisi I DPR RI Dave Laksono, dan Plt Kepala Divisi Hukum KontraS Muhammad Yahya Ihyaroza.

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
This Social Impact Pioneers episode forms part of the Business Fights Poverty Climate Series 2025. Katie Hyson sits down with Matthew Spencer, Global Director of Landscapes at IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative, for a timely conversation recorded live from COP 2025 in Belém, Brazil. With climate risks intensifying and global supply chains under unprecedented pressure, Matthew explores why landscape-level collaboration is emerging as one of the most effective solutions for protecting the world's most vulnerable ecosystems — while strengthening livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers. Matthew shares IDH's ambitious goal to protect and restore five million hectares of vulnerable landscapes by 2030, addressing deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate impacts through integrated, jurisdictional approaches – working with communities, businesses and governments. Drawing on career of experience, he explains why landscape initiatives not only deliver environmental gains but also help companies share risk, reduce costs, build resilience, and secure long-term supply. Listeners will hear real-world success stories — from palm oil landscapes in Aceh, Indonesia, to sustainable beef production in Mato Grosso, Brazil — where public-private partnerships have cut deforestation and improved farmers' incomes. Matthew also highlights the rapidly growing landscape platform SourceUp, which now hosts over 65 initiatives (expected to reach 100 next year), helping businesses fast-track participation by identifying opportunities by commodity, country, or sustainability priority. Matthew's Social Impact Pioneer credentials include time with Greenpeace and Oxfam, he's helped secure the UK's phase-out of coal while at the think tank Green Alliance and he's a Turner Fellow at the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, researching what has worked in tropical forest protection over the last three decades. Listen in for Matthew's views on why climate action and poverty reduction must go hand-in-hand, and what truly drives lasting change in forest protection and sustainable land use. Packed with practical insights for business leaders, sustainability professionals, and anyone working at the intersection of climate and development, this episode offers rare optimism — and a clear roadmap for collective action. Tune in to learn how landscape collaboration can drive climate resilience, restore forests, and transform global value chains.

Hari ini sekitar 25 ribu petani bakal turun ke jalan, memeringati Hari Tani Nasional. Aksi yang melibatkan elemen buruh, mahasiswa, dan masyarakat sipil ini digelar serentak di berbagai wilayah, seperti Jakarta, Aceh, Medan, Palembang, Jambi, Lampung, Semarang, Makassar, Manado, hingga Kupang. Mereka menuntut penuntasan 24 permasalahan struktural agraria dan 9 langkah perbaikan.Petani juga menuntut pembentukan Badan Pelaksana Reforma Agraria Nasional yang lebih otoritatif. Pasalnya, Gugus Tugas Reforma Agraria (GTRA) yang digadang-gadang sejak era Jokowi dinilai gagal karena terbukti memperparah ketimpangan penguasaan tanah seiring meningkatnya petani yang kehilangan lahan.Janji reforma agraria kembali muncul di era Presiden Prabowo, bahkan menjadi agenda prioritas Asta Cita. Namun, hingga kini belum ada kebijakan dan program yang mendukung implementasinya. Yang terjadi adalah berbagai letupan konflik agraria, perampasan lahan, ketimpangan penguasaan tanah, kriminalisasi petani, serta tumpang tindih kebijakan.Data Konsorsium Pembaruan Agraria (KPA) mencatat sepanjang 2015–2024, terjadi 3.234 konflik agraria dengan luas mencapai 7,4 juta hektar. Konflik ini berdampak pada 1,8 juta keluarga yang kehilangan tanah dan mata pencaharian.Bagaimana situasi reforma agraria di era Prabowo? Bagaimana mendesak komitmen serius Prabowo dalam membenahi tata kelola agraria yang adil dan berkelanjutan?Di Ruang Publik KBR kita akan bahas topik ini bersama Wakil Ketua Umum Serikat Petani Indonesia (SPI) Agus Ruli Ardiansyah, Anggota Komisi IV DPR dari Fraksi PKS Slamet, dan Anggota Ombudsman RI Yeka Hendra Fatika.
MetroTV, [HEADLINE NEWS 19/09/2025, 15.00 WIB]Kebakaran hebat melanda Kabupaten Aceh Besar, menghanguskan sekitar 7 hektar lahan kosong di Gampong Suka Damai, Kecamatan Lembah Seulawah. Api yang cepat menyebar dipicu oleh cuaca panas dan angin kencang. Tim BPBD Aceh Besar berhasil memadamkan api setelah hampir 9 jam berusaha. Tidak ada korban jiwa dalam kejadian ini, namun penyebab kebakaran masih dalam penyelidikan.
Diplomat Grant Dooley was inside the Australian Embassy building in Indonesia when a bomb went off, killing several people. This was just the beginning of a series of devastating events that Grant had to come to terms with years after moving back home to Australia.In 2004, Grant Dooley and his wife, Kristan, moved to Jakarta with their two young children to start a three-year posting at the Australian Embassy.In September of that year, Grant arrived at the embassy complex for a brief visit. Not long after he entered the building, a bomb went off outside, which partially destroyed the building and killed many people.The Australian Embassy had been the target of an attack plotted by Jemaah Islamiah, a terrorist group with links to al-Qaeda.Little did Grant know that he and his family had arrived in Indonesia in the middle of a horror show of bombings, natural disasters, and geopolitical tensions, which would not end for the next several years.The embassy bombing was followed by the Boxing Day Tsunami, a second Bali bombing, the Garuda plane crash in Yogyakarta and more.Not only was Grant a witness to these events, he was also a first responder to some of them.Further informationBomb Season In Jakarta is published by Affirm Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris; executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores terrorism, diplomacy, expats, Bali bombings, Sumatra, earthquake, tsunami, Schapelle Corby, Bali 9, drug smuggling, banged up abroad, how to become a diplomat, the real life of diplomats, PTSD, post traumatic stress, Jemaah Islamiyah, jihadist organisation, al-Qaeda, Paddy's pub, Sari Club, Aceh, John Howard, Alexander Downer, Kevin Rudd, Prabowo Subianto, Megawati Sukarnoputri, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Joko Widodo, foreign affairs, books, writing, memoir, modern history, Abu Bakar Bashir, 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing, East Timor, South East Asia, Iraq, Afghanistan, war.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

God, The Father Almighty, Creator Genesis 1Message Slides For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. God the Creator • Everything begins with God • He is a self-revealing God • Creator/creation distinction • Only the Creator is worthy of worship • God's creation has great value/meaning • The Creator sets the rules • Two Unsatisfying Worldviews: Materialism and GnosticismFather Almighty • He is Father • We can belong to His great family • He is AlmightyHOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. When you think about God, what are some of the first names, images, or ideas that come to your mind? Where did you learn and develop your view of God? 2. The Bible begins with God creating all things (Gen 1:1). If we start here and understand this, we are well on our way to getting other important parts of the Christian faith. What other important parts of the faith will we fail to grasp if we don't understand this foundational truth? Explain why understanding “God the Creator” is essential for the rest of the Christian faith. 3. God reveals Himself so we can know Who He is and who we are and what He expects of us. However, many people believe in a god very different from the biblical view of God. What are some common ways people you interact with think about God? Talk about some ways you tend to think about God that are different from the biblical view. How can we make sure we are thinking rightly about God? 4. We talked about the importance of making a distinction between the Creator and the creation. What are some key differences between these two? Why is it important to maintain this distinction? What are some of the consequences if we don't make this distinction? Who or what do you tend to value more than the Creator? 5. We can know God as our Father, and we can be adopted and belong to His great family. Which of these powerful truths (related to Fatherhood, family, and adoption) resonates most with you? Why? Are there any other related verses, truths, or experiences you have had that are meaningful to you? 6. When you think about God, do you tend to think of Him more as Almighty or more as Father? Explain why. What steps can we take to make sure we think of God rightly as both Father and Almighty?Mission Highlight - The Acehnese in Indonesia The Acehnese, a devout Muslim people of over 4 million in Indonesia's Aceh province, are known for their strong Islamic identity and adherence to Sharia law. Many are farmers or fishermen, living in close-knit communities shaped by a mix of Islam and local spirit beliefs. Though gospel resources exist in their language, they remain highly resistant to Christianity. Pray for open doors for believers to live among them, meet needs, and share the hope of Jesus Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 08/17 23,268Giving For 08/24 33,585YTD Budget 276,923Giving 247,068 OVER/(UNDER) (29,855) Fellowship CollegeAre you a college student or between the ages of 18–22?

Dive into the chilling unknown with The Mortals as we uncover two true stories of survival against impossible odds. On July 7, 2005, a London commuter faces the terror of the 7/7 bombings deep underground, while on December 26, 2004, a fisherman in Aceh, Indonesia, battles the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. How did they endure when everything seemed lost? These lesser-known accounts will leave you questioning the forces that guide us through life's darkest moments. Join host Nathan Morris for tales of near-death and mysterious intervention that linger long after the episode ends.
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a court in an Indonesian province has sentenced two men to public caning for alleged homosexual activity.
In this milestone 200th episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem is joined by Lieselotte (Lisa) Heederik, co-founder and CEO of Nazava Water Filters, an award-winning social enterprise working to provide safe, affordable drinking water to low-income households across the Global South. Lisa shares her personal journey—from a childhood across Bolivia, Kenya, and Yemen to leading one of the only WHO-certified water filter companies in developing countries. Her own experience of dehydration as an infant shaped a life-long mission: making safe water a right, not a privilege. During this wide-ranging conversation, Lisa reflects on how Nazava scaled its impact to reach over 600,000 people in 30+ countries. From the post-tsunami landscapes of Aceh to microfinance-driven solutions in Kenya, she discusses the intersection of women's empowerment, climate action, and health equity. With humor and humility, Lisa shares her “why,” what keeps her hopeful, and how running trail races mirrors her work as a purpose-driven entrepreneur.

As the Trump administration erases the T and Q in LGBTQ from government websites and publications — even the signage outside the Stonewall National Monument — New York college student Eli Butler seeks to counter the hate of far-right politicians and media outlets by exploring the hidden history and the joy of transmasculine community building (interviewed by David Hunt). And in NewsWrap: two young men in the Indonesian province of Aceh are publicly beaten with a cane for having gay sex, British law does not recognize “nonbinary” as a gender according to the United Kingdom Court of Appeal, Iowa's transgender people are no longer protected from discrimination, a federal judge rules that key provisions of Trump's executive order targeting federal agencies and federally funded DEI programs in higher education and the private sector are “impermissibly vague,” a second Trump order to move transgender women in U.S. women's prisons to men's prisons is blocked, the U.S. Supreme Court lets Tennessee's virtual ban on drag performances stand, the “reverse discrimination” case of a straight, white, cisgender woman is heard by the U.S. top court, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Ava Davis and Joe Boehnlein (produced by Brian DeShazor).

The influence of the great medieval mystic Ibn ‘Arabi is immeasurable, reaching from his home city of Murcia in Andalusia to Aceh in Indonesia and just about everywhere in between. His teachings similarly try to encompass, or at least articulate, the unfathomable depths of being, both human and divine, together with the links between God's ultimate being and our own contingent existence. Whereas Ibn ‘Arabi's terrestrial life played out between Seville and Tunis in his early career and Mecca and Damascus in his later years, his spiritual life unfolded through encounters with saints and prophets in the ‘imaginal world' (or ‘alam al-mithal) that was central to his cosmology. In this episode, we trace this double life and summarize his doctrines at large. We then turn to his two most famous works, the Futuhat al-Makiyya (‘Meccan Revelations') and Fusus al-Hikam (‘Ringstones of Wisdom'), to unravel the key concept of huwiyya (literally ‘He-ness'). Nile Green talks to Ismail Lala, author of Knowing God: Ibn ‘Arabi and ‘Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani's Metaphysics of the Divine (Brill, 2020).
