Famel ishmyloff. and dozens of passengers injured after a long-distance train smashed into a stationary commuter train. Most of the dead are women, a women only carriage or the brunt of the impact. You can hear the sound, there are rescue teams that had to race to free some survivors following the deadly train crash near the capital Jakarta. The tragedy happened after an electric taxi broke down on an intersection of train track. A train hit the taxi that accident in itself didn't lead to any fatalities, but a commuter train waiting further down the line and able to move past the crash site was struck from behind by a long-distance train traveling from the island of Java. Jakarta correspondent Astudestra Agingrastery spoke to me earlier. Basically, there were three different trains and one car involved in that accident, but all of the victims and the casualties were coming from the train that got hit by the long-distance train. And you've also been hearing from survivors? Yes, so BBC Indonesia spoke with survivors. When you say that everything happened extremely fast, even within seconds, so when the crash occurred, they say it suddenly went dark and the air becomes suffocating, making it very difficult to breathe, one survivor who we spoke to say that they felt like they had already died. So mind you that the train is a very efficient transportation for Indonesians, it's cheap and it's fast. So every time on a rush hour, like after office, it is very full until about 10 pm, it's always packed and full. And of course the woman carriage, it's all female passengers in there, but also most of them are bringing like their babies and then elderly, so lots of vulnerable people that is on that carriage. And Astudestra, when it comes to the public transport system in Indonesia, just tell us a bit about that because it's got an agent infrastructure and poor maintenance. So are accidents like this quite common? It's actually, yes, it's quite common, especially for the railway. So our railway system, a lot of it, are still coming from when the Dutch colonized Indonesia, which is more than 80 to 100 years ago. So it's very old, but maintenance is also not quite good. So accidents like this rarely happen, but it happened. And when it happened, it involved a lot of casualties. The president, Prabhu Subianto, today while visiting the survivors in hospitals, he said that he acknowledged that these infrastructures need to be renewed and he pledged to find a solution to actually prevent things like this to happen again in the future. A Jakarta correspondent Astudestra Agingrustry. Now to an animal rescue story on a big scale in more ways than one. A member of India's richest family, Anant Ambani, is offering to save 80 hippos in Colombia. They're at risk of being called a Global Affairs reporter, Paul Moss, told me more about how they came to be there. This was because of a man, I think many in our audience will have heard of Pablo Escobar, the famous Colombian drugs lord, regarded as tool called the King of Cocaine, possibly the richest criminal literally in history. A man, yeah, mainly involved in the cocaine trade, but with a sideline in murdering his opponents. And like many people with great wealth and power, he was accused of becoming something of a megalomania. And at one point he decided he fancied having some hippos on his estate. So, you know, as casually as you or me might get ourselves a cattle dog, he had four hippos flown in. Now Pablo Escobar was eventually killed in a shootout, at which point the hippos escaped and since then they've been living wild and crucially breeding. There are now more than 200 of these enormous animals eating local vegetation. And they're accused of also attacking fishermen and at one point invading a school. So, Colombia decided that they were going to cull 80 of these animals. This caused a huge outcry. And as you say, Anant Ambani has now offered to fly these 80 hippos to India and house them in his own private zoo. Well, so tell us a bit more about him and then why exactly wants to do this? Well, he's from one of the, as you said, the wealthiest family in India. They're valued at nearly $100 billion. And just as Pablo Escobar has huge wealth and also influenced the Ambani's too, though, obviously, she's stressed their wealth was acquired legally. Yes, the son and air who famously had a wedding last year, which cost more than $500 million, wants to put these animals in his private zoo. He's offered to fly them to India and do it all himself privately. So, how has this idea gotten down and the practicalities around it? Well, you know, Ambani's zoo is already controversial. It's a private place. The public aren't admitted. Last year, India's Supreme Court ordered an investigation into whether animals there were being mistreated. More seriously, though, there has been a criticism that animals have been kept in a zoo that aren't really suited to good-ger-arts climate. Now, ironically, that was said exactly the same thing was said when Pablo Escobar brought the hippos to Colombia. And conservationists have worried any way about this zoo. They're worried that animals are kept there that aren't suitable for the climate. And, I'm telling Barney has issued a statement saying these animals didn't choose where they're born. They're living sentient beings. We have a responsibility to try to save them. So, he thinks he's doing a good deed. Whether that will press the conservationists who are worried, we're going to have to wait and see. I'm Global Affairs reporter Paul Moss. Still to come in this podcast. How to create a team that can work together for such a long period of time. How to counter any issues a team could have in isolation in confinement. We explain how six volunteers are going to isolate themselves in a sealed pod for months and simulate a potential mission to Mars. This is the Global News Podcast. Taylor Swift's Eres Tour, which spanned 149 shows across five continents, was the highest grossing of all time. But her opening concert in the Austrian capital Vienna in 2024 narrowly avoided ending in tragedy after a bomb plot was foiled. A 21-year-old man is on trial in Vienna charged with terrorism and other offenses. Aviera correspondent Bethany Bell has been in court. This 21-year-old man who's been named only as Baron A in line with Austrian privacy laws has admitted guilty to the charges concerning the Taylor Swift concerts. He also pleaded guilty to being a member of a terrorist organisation that he pleaded not guilty to some of the other charges he's facing, including planning an attack in Mecca in Saudi Arabia. He appeared in court this morning escorted by security officials wearing masks. He was handcuffed. The handcuffs were taken off him when he was brought into court. And we heard from the prosecution saying how a nearly completed bomb was found at his house after he was arrested because of a tip off from the CIA just before the first Taylor Swift concert in August 2024. Do you know any further on what he was planning to do at all? The prosecution said that he had been trying to buy weapons illegally and bring them into Austria. They say that he'd got instructions from the internet about how to construct a shrapnel bomb and a shrapnel bomb they say is something that is very characteristic of Islamic State. They also say that he had sworn allegiance to Islamic State. This trial is expected to go on until the end of name. It's just very, very briefly, Bethany. It had a big impact, didn't it? Locally within Vienna and in Austria across the city. Not just in Austria, people had come from across the world to go to those Taylor Swift concerts, all three of which had to be cancelled. I met fans at the time who'd flown in all the way from California from Asia and there was a real sense of great disappointment fans in tears handing out friendship bracelets and singing in the end of Vienna. Bethany Bell reporting from Vienna. To the US now, as King Charles III and Queen Camilla are on day two of a four-day state visit. So far, it's all been very manicured, with the cups of Earl Grey tea and a garden party on the lawn of the British Embassy. There's much anticipation of the King's visit to Congress later. It comes at a time of heightened diplomatic tension between both countries over NATO, Greenland, Ukraine and the Chegos Islands. And President Trump has openly criticized British Prime Minister Kierstammer many times, most recently over his refusal to support him in the offensive against Iran. As we record this podcast, President Trump is giving the King and Queen a ceremonial welcome to the United States at the White House. For what we can expect later, here's our correspondent in Washington, Sharmakalil. We're expecting King Charles to be in the building that I'm looking at right now, the capital, where he's going to address a joint meeting of Congress. And this is really the centerpiece of his visit. This is where he gets to send a message from the UK to the United States. And it comes, as you were mentioning there, 10 times between those two
countries that special relationship being tested because time and time again we've heard President Trump lambast and criticized the British Prime Minister, Sir Kier Starmer, for what he sees as the lack of support from the United Kingdom in the war with Iran. The Prime Minister has always said that he's acting in the country's interest. Now we are expecting him to say that the countries have always found a way to come together even though they've sometimes they don't see eye to eye. He is going to also express sympathy about what happened Saturday because remember this royal visit comes just a couple of days after that shocking night on Saturday, the third attempt on the life of President Trump when a alleged gunman tried to storm the ballroom during a media gala. So yes, of course, security is tight because of this royal visit, but I think it's been not stopped with a sense of tension because of what happened on Saturday. Okay, Shana, it's a careful balancing act, isn't it, for King Charles III. Yes. Because he can't get too political and Donald Trump has always said that he loves the royal family, he loves the king. So is there a lot of pressure because I guess the UK government will be thinking, okay, he has some soft power. What can he deliver? I think what he can deliver is what you can read between the lines. Yes, he cannot get too political too directly, if you will. And yes, he has a little bit of leverage because of that soft power. And I would say, and I would also say because of that personal chemistry between the two men, because unlike the turbulent relationship that Donald Trump has with Kierstarmher, you'll find that he has a lot of affinity for the monarch that he's described him as a great man, a brave man. He said that absolutely this visit could repair the relationship between the two countries. So when they were sitting down yesterday, for example, there was a sit-down that was meant to last for 20 minutes, it lasts for double that amount. So you could see that there is that chemistry between them. But of course, there are bigger issues, the relationship between the two countries. But also remember that Donald Trump has also lambasted NATO and he'll speak about that as well. Shama Kierli, reporting. Next, if the item is too mission earlier this month, made you all excited about space, gave you a glamorized view of maybe one day experiencing it for yourself, then it's time to provide some balance over to our reporter, Walchalk, to bring us all back down to earth. I think while the idea of going to space might seem attractive to a lot of us, the reality is if you're going to Mars, say that six months of travelling in extremely close quarters with your fellow astronauts, and if by the time you get to Mars, you all hate each other, well, that's not ideal to say the least. So that is why six brave volunteers have just started the European Space Agency's Solace 100 Isolation Study. So they're spending a hundred days locked in a small building together, no sex, no alcohol, no daylight, only tin food, they have to exercise for an hour a day, but they can only shower twice a week. The only contact they'll have with the outside world is a weekly video call and also shoving their arm through a hatch for a regular blood test, but they're not allowed to make eye contact with the people doing it. And just to be perfect, clear, they will never actually be leaving us earth. The space station in question is rooted to the ground in Germany. OK, so who on earth would actually want to do this? We don't know their names, but we know their age between 26 and 36 from six different European countries. They do get paid, it's around 27,000 dollars, and they are currently doing this experiment and they're currently spending their days doing exactly what they do in space and following a strict daily schedule. Now this is actually a repeat of an experiment that was ran in 2010 and that one went on for 520 days, six male volunteers in a fake space station in a car park in Russia. This is a taster of the video diary of one of the participants Diego Urbina. "Sipal things such as the blue sky, such as I don't know, going dancing in the evening, I love that and here I am not able to do it. My family, I miss them a lot and my friends." Now another man who took part 15 years ago is Romain Charles. He has been speaking today in honor of this new experiment starting. "When we think about going further in space exploration, the human factor is still a big question, how to create a team that can work together for such a long period of time, to get finer and finer markers of how to counter any issues a team could have in isolation in confinement." So quite good I think, Honka, this experiment in putting life into perspective because I think we all get annoyed with our colleagues, with our family, with our friends sometimes, but we can all be thankful that we're not locked in a small room of them for a hundred days somewhere in Germany. "We were chalk reporting. Let's go to Kenya's Rift Valley Province now and the village of the record-breaking marathon runner Sebastian Sare. They've been celebrating there since the 31-year-old became the first person to run the distance in under two hours in London at the weekend. His parents say his achievement will change not only their lives, but those of the whole community. Our Africa correspondent Barbara Plattascha reports. "At the Sare family home, Sebastian's parents, relatives and neighbors welcomed us with song, praising the man who's made marathon history, the first athlete to run a competitive race in less than two hours. Remarkably, a moment that Sebastian's father Simi and missed, so vibrant were the celebrations here. I did not expect he was going to break the record. That really surprised us all. I was afraid the runner from Ethiopia would beat him. When I saw Sebastian pull ahead, I was so excited. I started celebrating and did not even watch the end of the race. "I was very happy. I thank God. I jumped around the house. I just didn't know what to do. I was so happy." Emily Sebastian's mother takes the lead. "Thank you so much, my son, for the marvelous things you have done," she sings. Her son is a man from modest beginnings in rural Kenya, but his parents tell us their lives are now set to change, along with his. "You're so grateful and thank God," they say. He has really lifted us up and will give back to the community. The truth is, he promised us that he's going to build as a house, and he said he would buy as a car, so we won't be working on food anymore. He also promised he would finish building the church here. "Big changes for you. We got there." Sebastian is special, but he's not alone. Many elite marathon runners have come from this part of the world. It's raining here right now, but the Western Highlands of Kenya are the global capital of high altitude training for distance running. It helps athletes build their endurance and their lung capacity. At the moment, Sebastian is still enjoying the limelight in London, and that will certainly continue when he returns to Kenya, say his parents. "We are planning to welcome him to have a celebration in a Thanksgiving because he has done wonders." We wanted to have the celebrations for him before, but he said, "No. Wait until I break the world record. So now, we will ask him if we are free to go ahead with the celebration." This time, they won't take no for an answer. It's an incredible achievement for Kenya that's reverberating around the world, and will be a hero's welcome for the local boy who delivered it.
