Tim SAR gabungan mengevakuasi korban gempa di Cianjur, Jawa Barat. Tempo.co.
Bupati Cianjur, Herman Suherman, menyampaikan bahwa, korban meninggal akibat gempa Cianjur berkekuatan magnitudo 5.6 menjadi 600 jiwa. Hal itu disampaikan pada hari Sabtu, 10/12/2022, oleh Bupati Cianjur saat menerima rombongan DPP Partai Gerindra di Pendopo Pemkab Cianjur.
Herman Suherman menambahkan, bertambahnya korban jiwa ini saat melakukan pendataan untuk memberikan dana kerohiman kepada keluarga yang meninggal dunia.
Bertambahnya jumlah korban jiwa ini mungkin ada warga yang meninggal dan langsung dimakamkan.
“Banyak warga yang tidak melaporkan ke pihak puskesmas maupun rumah sakit pada saat ada anggota keluarga yang meninggal dunia,” terangnya.
Tidak adanya laporan tersebut membuat pihak rumah sakit dan puskesmas tidak bisa melaporkan data yang meninggal pada daat itu.
Bukan hanya korban jiwa, tetapi juga rumah yang rusak tersebar di 16 kecamatan mencapai kurang lebih 58 ribu rumah.
“Kami sangat membutuhkan bantuan dari pihak manapun untuk memulihkan Cianjur, termasuk dari Partai Gerindra yang sudah begitu banyak membantuk sejak hari pertama gempa,” ucapnya.

Satuan Lalu Lintas Polresta kota Bogor menghimbau para orang tua pengguna sepeda motor agar tidak membonceng anak di jok depan motor.
Hal itu menjadi perhatian pihak kepolisian, di mana ibu-ibu kerap membawa anaknya untuk mengantar dan menjemput sekolah.
“Kami tidak menyarankan membonceng anak di (jok) depan. Sekalipun dibonceng di belakang, anak harus didampingi di belakangnya,” kata Kasat Lantas Polresta Bogor Kota, Kompol Galih Apria, pada hari Kamis, 08/12/2022.
Lebih lanjut, Galih menyebutkan, dalam beberapa kesempatan kepolisian sudah memberikan sabuk keselamatan berkendara bagi pengemudi kendaraan bermotor yang membawa anak.

The Russian president noted that the adoption of the oil price cap would inevitably reduce global investments to zero, subsequently resulting in another price hike.
Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the economic issues on Friday as he commented on the western sanctions limiting the price of Russian oil. The head of state noted that the cap, introduces by the G7, the EU and Australia, won't affect Russia at the moment.
"The imposed cap corresponds with the prices at which we sell today. In this sense, the decision does not affect us in any way. To be honest, it is not important," Putin said at a press conference following his visit to Kyrgyzstan. "We will not suffer losses – no matter what," the president stressed.
He warned, however, that such a step may undermine global energy markets, resulting in an oil industry collapse worldwide if consumers are able to dictate prices.
“As for the good results [in the Russian economy], it could have been better, we would like it to be better. The truth is, however, the forecasts suggested a 20% economic recession in Russia; there is a recession, but it is at 2.9%.
That's, of course, a huge difference, and we understand that those who predicted such a development of events for us made a major mistake," Putin said. The Russian leader noted that, despite a certain slowdown in the economy, "the situation is indeed better than in many other countries in a number of ways," since Russia shows better inflation numbers than Europe.
He also noted that Moscow would consider cutting oil output as a viable response to the price cap introduction.
"As for our reaction, I have already said that we simply won't sell [oil] to the countries that make such decisions. Maybe, we will even consider the possibility - I'm not saying that it is decided - we will consider, if necessary, the possibility of reducing [oil] output. We have an agreement with OPEC+ on a well-known production target," he added.
Since 2021, energy prices have been surging globally, but the situation deteriorated after February 2022, when the US, the EU, Britain and their allies introduced sanctions on Moscow, responding to Russia's military operation in Ukraine. As a result of the sanctions, gas prices have accelerated their growth, resulting in an energy crisis in Europe.
Nevertheless G7 nations and the EU (which as a bloc is closely associated with the group), as well as Australia, imposed a price cap on Russian oil, setting it at $60 per barrel.
The cap, which came into effect on December 5, will be reviewed every two months to remain at 5% below the International Energy Agency benchmark. Moscow lambasted the price cap as an attempt to manipulate “the basic principles of free markets,” noting that Russia won't sell oil to countries that adopt it.
Special Military Operation
Commenting on the op in Ukraine, the president stated that the crisis' settlement would be lengthy.
He referenced ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel's statement, who recently said that the 2014/15 Minsk Agreements were signed in order to buy time for the Kiev regime to prepare for a military standoff with Russia.
"Honestly, this was completely unexpected for me. This is disappointing. Frankly speaking, I did not expect to hear this from the former Federal Chancellor. I always assumed that the leadership of the Federal Republic is sincere with us," Putin said during a press conference, commenting on Merkel's statement.
It is quite understandable that Germany was on the side of Ukraine, supported Ukraine, he noted.
"But it still seemed to me that the leadership of the Federal Republic always sincerely sought a settlement on the principles that we agreed on and that were achieved, including within the framework of the Minsk process," Putin added.
“Now, of course, the issue of trust emerges. Of course, it is almost at zero, and yet after such statements, a question arises: how could we even negotiate [with Europe]? Is it possible to negotiate with someone? And what are the guarantees?" Putin told reporters.
The Russian president noted that in the end, all sides will have to accept the reality of the situation as it is. He also said there is no need in another mobilization wave, adding that the military is working on the most pressing issues.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics called for help amid Ukrainian attacks. President Putin stressed that Moscow aims to stop the eight-year-long war, waged by the Kiev regime against the people of Donbass.
Since October, Russia has been targeting power grids, the defense industry, military command posts and communications facilities across Ukraine in response to a terror attack on the Crimean Bridge perpetrated by Ukrainian intel services. Kiev claimed that almost half of the country's energy system had been put out of service due to the strikes.

More than 1,000 journalists and other workers at The New York Times launched a 24-hour strike on Thursday, a protest over ongoing contract negotiations that marks the first such strike at the company in more than four decades.
Journalists and other workers at the storied media outlet, often referred to as America's paper of record, walked out at midnight for 24 hours after failing to reach an agreement with the company on a new round of contract negotiations.
The NewsGuild of New York, a union representing the striking workers, had said that a key sticking point was the management's refusal to raise wages in line with surging inflation.
"It's never an easy decision to refuse to do work you love, but our members are willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all," the NewsGuild of New York, the union representing the workers, said on Thursday.
Health and retirement benefits as well as return-to-work policies following the coronavirus pandemic were also an issue.
"Over 1,100 New York Times workers are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in 4 decades," the union tweeted early Thursday morning.
New York Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha told US media in a statement that negotiations had not broken down and "it is disappointing that they are taking such an extreme action when we are not at an impasse."
Phoebe Lett, a podcast producer at the media outlet, tweeted: "It is heartbreaking to have to stand with nearly 1,200 colleagues who sacrifice everything for the good of this place, hat in hand, asking @nytimes to show us they value us. But here we are."
The union said its members were "willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all."
The Times said in an article about the strike that nonunion newsroom employees would produce news on Thursday.
Workers and management have reached an impasse over the scale of pay increases, the balance between remote and in-office work and other issues, according to a letter signed by more than 1,000 employees.
A collective bargaining agreement between the workers and The Times expired last March, giving way to 20 months of negotiations, the letter said. Those negotiations spanned more than 120 hours across 40 bargaining sessions but the two sides still disagree on a host of concerns.
"The Times company is profitable," the letter said. "It is time the unionized workers who made so much of this possible be properly compensated for their efforts."
New York Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha expressed disappointment over the work stoppage, saying the two sides have taken steps toward an agreement.
"It is disappointing that they are taking such an extreme action when we are not at an impasse," Rhoades Ha told ABC News.
"Though we've made progress and offered several new proposals this week to address issues identified as priorities by the Guild, we still have much more work to do when we return to the bargaining table," Rhoades Ha added.
It was unclear whether the work stoppage would disrupt operations at the news outlet. The Times could publish some previously written work and workers outside of the union would be called upon to make up for the absence of colleagues, Dana Goldstein, a domestic correspondent at the national desk who participated in the work stoppage, told ABC News.
"This is a show of strength to show that we are ready to take these steps and do believe our incredible work over what's been some of the hardest times of our lives during the pandemic should be rewarded," she said.
Negotiations have stalled primarily over the scale of annual pay increases, Goldstein said.
The company has offered 2.75% in average annual guaranteed base-pay raises, according to the letter from Times employees.
That offer falls short of what workers need as they weather sky-high inflation and rising housing costs in New York City, where many employees live, said Goldstein, who has worked at The Times for six years.
"We're not asking for raises to keep up with inflation," she said. "We're asking for more than what's been offered."
Despite the impasse on pay increases, the company has improved its offer on some benefits, Goldstein said.
The company, which had sought to replace a pension plan with a 401(k), is now offering employees a choice between the two, she said. The company also agreed to improve fertility benefits, she added.
Prominent supporters of Times workers, including actor Mark Ruffalo and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-NY, called on people to forego visiting The Times website and using Times products in an act of solidarity with the workers.
“Support the New York Times workers in solidarity and steer clear of the NY Times during their strike,” Ruffalo said. “Even Wordle.”
The drone used by Ukraine to attempt an attack on two Russian military airfields was modernized with the participation of a corporation from the United States, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the military security and arms control talks in Vienna, said.
"Firstly, during 2022, the Kharkov Aviation Plant carried out work to modernize the mentioned UAVs with the participation of specialists from the Kiev Design Bureau Luch and US corporation Raytheon Technologies. The range of this drone is up to 1000 kilometers. It is clear in which direction it was planned to be used," Gavrilov told Sputnik on Thursday, commenting on the possible involvement of NATO countries in attack.
According to Gavrilov, "it is well known that the overwhelming majority of targets targeted by neo-Nazis are determined by the Western masters of the Kiev regime."
"The aforementioned Tu-141 Strizh UAVs are aimed at the target using US global satellite system GPS. By the way, the United States and its allies have long been actively using various space systems for reconnaissance and information support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including for the purpose of discovering places of deployment, routes of movement and actions of Russian troops. In fact, in Ukraine, in real combat conditions, new methods are being developed for the use of civilian satellite constellations as an element of command of the US Armed Forces," he stressed.
According to Gavrilov, "NATO members are not at all worried that this could provoke significant risks for peaceful space activities and shake its international legal foundations."
"The Russian side has repeatedly pointed out that the United States and its satellites were becoming more and more fixed in the status of participants in the Ukrainian conflict. And now, once again, the facts indicate that NATO member countries really had a hand in Kiev's terrorist provocations against Russian strategic airfields Dyagilevo and Engels with the use of two Soviet-era reactive strike drones Tu-141 Strizh," Gavrilov said, when asked if there was evidence that NATO had been involved in organizing this attack.
In particular, according to Gavrilov, Kiev "actually had a publicly announced order to carry out this perfidious provocation."
He recalled the statement of the Latvian foreign minister on November 30 during the NATO Council at the level of foreign ministers that "possible Ukrainian strikes on military targets deep in Russia's territory would be justified."
"Of course, our army does not leave such terrorist acts unpunished," the head of the delegation added.
Earlier, a high-ranking Ukrainian official in an interview with American newspaper has acknowledged Kiev's responsibility for the attacks on airfields in the Russian regions of Kursk, Ryazan and Saratov.
"These were Ukrainian drones — very successful, very effective," the anonymous official told the newspaper, referring to all three attacks.
This is already the second unofficial confirmation of Ukraine's responsibility for the drone attacks, which took place on Monday and Tuesday. Another anonymous Ukrainian official told another American media that the drones were launched from the Ukrainian territory.
Reporting the attacks, the Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine used Soviet-made combat drones. The Russian air defense intercepted the drones, but their fragments killed three and injured four Russian servicemen in Ryazan and Saratov on Monday. There were no casualties as a result of the attack in Kursk on Tuesday.
Seandainya di acara konferensi pers diwasiti seperti pertandingan sepak bola, perwakilan media tim Brasil mungkin akan menerima kartu kuning karena melempar kucing pada hari Rabu selama wawancara Piala Dunia.
Seekor kucing lucu berkeliaran di salah satu konferensi pers Piala Dunia Brasil, dan kemudian benar-benar diusir.
Penyusup berbulu tiba-tiba menghiasi mimbar, seekor kucing lucu dengan tenang diam diatas mimbar konferensi pers Brasil sementara pemain Brasil Vinícius Júnior berbicara.
Reporter Brasil Raisa Simplicio, yang membagikan video tersebut, mengatakan seorang reporter Amerika kemudian bertanya kepada pelatih Brasil, yang dikenal sebagai Tite, tentang kucing itu. Pelatih dengan ringan menyarankan agar jurnalis bertanya kepada penasihat siapa yang "mengambil kucing itu", menurut sebuah terjemahan.
Kucing itu kemudian tampak tidak terluka dan difoto sedang kedinginan di samping logo tim saat Vinícius Júnior terus mengajukan pertanyaan.
Namun tampaknya banyak penggemar di media sosial keberatan dengan perlakuan kasar kucing itu.
“Orang itu tidak mengerti CINTA yang dimiliki internet untuk Kucing. Kesalahan besar temanku, ”tulis seorang.

Pemain depan Brasil Vinícius Jr. sedang berbicara kepada media menjelang pertandingan perempat final Piala Dunia timnya melawan Kroasia ketika seekor kucing melompat ke atas meja.
Kucing itu berjalan melintasi meja ke petugas media yang tidak disebutkan namanya, yang kemudian mencengkeram tengkuknya dan melemparkannya ke lantai.
Saat para wartawan terperanjat melihat aksi melempar kucing, petugas media mengangkat bahu, sementara Vinícius tertawa.
Organisasi hak-hak hewan PETA, tweeting: "Apa masalah orang ini?"
Menurut VetStreet, mengangkat kucing dengan tengkuknya tidak perlu dan berpotensi menyakitkan.
"Kami berharap seseorang merawat kucing manis ini yang mungkin tunawisma - sama seperti yang lainnya," tambah PETA.
Wartawan Andrew Gourdie tweeted: "Apakah dia benar-benar perlu membuangnya seperti itu ?!" sementara Konstantinos Lianos, seorang reporter olahraga untuk Matahari, menyebut petugas media itu sebagai "orang bodoh".
Menyusul insiden tersebut, Vinícius ditanya tentang kritik yang ditujukan kepada para pemain Brasil atas perayaan gol mereka melawan Korea Selatan di Babak 16 Besar Piala Dunia.
Bintang-bintang Brasil menampilkan tarian singkat setelah masing-masing gol mereka dalam kemenangan 4-1, memicu kritik dari pakar ITV Roy Keane dan Graeme Souness.
"Orang-orang mengatakan itu budaya mereka, tapi saya pikir itu benar-benar tidak menghormati lawan," kata mantan pemain Manchester United Keane.
Souness, sebelumnya dari Liverpool FC, berkata: "Hanya masalah waktu sebelum seseorang melewati salah satu dari pemain Brasil ini."
Vinícius membalas komentar pasangan itu, memberi tahu wartawan bahwa tim sudah merencanakan lebih banyak perayaan gol.
"Tentu, beberapa suka mengeluh ketika mereka melihat kebahagiaan orang lain, dan kami orang Brasil adalah orang yang ceria, jadi itu akan selalu mengganggu mereka," katanya.
"Gol adalah momen paling penting dalam sepak bola; di Piala Dunia, bahkan lebih penting jadi ini adalah momen kegembiraan tidak hanya bagi kami para pemain, tetapi juga bagi seluruh negara kami.
"Kami masih memiliki banyak perayaan, jadi kami harus terus bermain lebih baik, memenangkan pertandingan, dan tetap gembira dalam prosesnya."
