bus yes, but see this is the consequence was 4000 foot under phung, not because she couldn't, you know, i'd like to stumble any more just conflict in ukraine. the european war in 10 voices rushes, war in ukraine. one years since the invasion began, we take a look back and into the future. in the human slowly, in february on d, w. ah, this is the w news asia coming up today. trust in the police delta, a big blow in indonesia. embroiled in a boat, a plot that script the nation for months. one of the country's most senior police officials is sentenced to death and can south korea for free

subway brides for pensioners. critic say politicians have been a little too generous to one of the biggest. boeing blocks ah, i've been fizzle and nice to have you along. impunity at the top of indonesia is police force. prosecutors were asking for life, but the judges handed down the maximum sentence, the death penalty to form a police. general fatty sambo for orchestrating the motor of his body, got there were gasps, and she is from spectators in the cold room. it follows a string of elaborate stories to add alleged police cover ups. this is the moment a top police official met his fate. montgomery darlington stood the defendant of

the book with the sentence had redone of death. my b. fatty sambo was found guilty of monitoring his own body. god, sambo was a 2 star general and former head of internal affairs for the national police until he was released from duty in 2022. following the accusations, many people attending the trial welcomed the would it over on his mandate, the death sentence is the answer. that isn't true justice, because the law must be sharp and the victim's family must feel justice. and we have a good response back on a bit and what the judge said was good. i mean, somebody can hack him, he doesn't have a war. there has been huge public interest in the trial, which continued for months chronicling lies and intrigue. that 1st, for several days, the police kept the killing under cover. then they said surveillance cameras had failed to work that day. blue been the judge dismissed these claims

saying the tapes had been deleted, blood really met. such developments have kept indonesians hoped and burned about perhaps a systemic problem with the countries police force. i done my, my yeah. in my opinion, the bad police have always been there, boss on there. got better if the boss is not right. then the subordinates are also not right. the mindset in indonesia is that a job is to make money. so i don't think improvement is the priority. it got it. i'm gonna handle getting it wrong. sorry. lendozy, mullin is aminada that way and it's a shame that these bad apples make people not trust the police about my shower that david guy a so far i still trust the police side, you know. yeah. was he, lassie, or they at least a lot easier than this week. verdict have ever has provided some relief to the

wicked dms family. i present in course was a miraculous sentence. oh that we have with god is answered every drop of my son's blood and our prayers for. ready thank you for your love. jesus with assemble was marched off to solve his sentence. indonesians are facing some difficult conversations on the country's police. it's rule and in part at least its own apparent sense of impunity. d. w corresponding chance from a long joins us from jakarta. so are we talking about one corrupt cop or a police force riddled with corruption? yes, it is national police force. if indonesia has been in the spotlight for so long, being one of the most corrupted institution in indonesia,

and that definitely eroded the public confidence towards the corpse. and usually when a police is doing something wrong, the national police, which use a term just a few bad apples and uh, they would hide the dirty cups behind the term. um, with all the scandals throughout the years that involved the police. public once again or wondering what the about the police reform that ashley has been in the works for more than 20 years and it's not finished yet. it has to be done war properly now. and if we talk about a police reform, there need to be reform and her mind set off the earth, solidarity with and o force to mask the wrong doing, supplied her police officers. and also the culture of violence within the police. so far, expert belief that it has been stagnant, but it's actually very important. not only the end goal to repair to tarnished reputation off the police, but really to evaluate their work, to dig deep into the route problems, to make them become

a better law enforcer. and there are so many other offices being investigated in relation to this trial. i know what, what about some bos wife as well? why, why was she on trial? yeah. patricia and her what the the wife of sambo. ah, she was put on trial because of her investment in planning the murder. the murder happened after put 3 claim that she was harassed by begun to do so with our barret and that unproven claim made her husband sambo angry and ended with the murder of big idea as to why i put 3 guards, 20 years in prison, and that sentence is higher than what was demanded by the prosecutor, but put 3 sambo and other defendants found guilty can still seek legal avenues like appeal, causation, and review, but, but aspect say, ah, the next procedures needs to be monitored very well. and i'm sure the whole country

will be watching sharon some along in jakarta, thank you for nothing's really free in life, but as a pensioner, you can expect some perks, after all those years of hard work and paying taxes free subway rights. for example, in south korea, except even that's become a little too expensive for the aging, but wealthy nation one of the best on the world is household somewhere system is known. parking sun uses that frequently to move around the city for his job as the delivery man. he said, it's only possible because sol allows the elderly to ride for free. going do him the advantages that it doesn't cost me any transportation expenses. i'm a little tired, but this job is really good way to dimensions. i'm good and i are now still over

200000000. 3 rides for taken. that has been a huge benefit to people above the age of 65, but the local government sees this is bleeding them dry. sold meal wants the central government to help is slow, large rounds on. we're not asking for complete supporter from the central government. but we are saying that fears can be kept low only with some assistance from the central government there. he won't do anything. so far. the finance ministry has rejected their request. so linton intends to hike up subway rates by 30 percent. that's making older people like young from nervous that they might have to start being 2 or more with we have to pay for the subway or whatever. we will have to think about other jobs around it. and so metropolitan government should think a lot about this during the day. it's a job for the elderly getting there if it's gone, be ugly, have no place to work. and i learned that, oh the it said to have done

a r one was the 5th of south korea's population is aged 65 and older. this number is set to rise significantly in the next decade. and where the money for their welfare should come from is a big open question. rob roth well joins us from the school of business at george mason university, korea in san door, rod can't south korea afford giving pension as a free ride on the subway. any more have the promises of politicians to a fair chunk of their voting base. just got out of control. it's a hey question i, i think what the government is really trying to indicate is that the social welfare policies, which have been traditionally valued in the past and perhaps not sustainable in the future. now we've, we seem to have reached a social tipping point where we now know that the average age in korea is 47. we know that approximately 25 percent of people are over 65. so the burden is just

starting to maybe creep up on the government and yell maybe this is a little bit of an indicator the, the good right is about to maybe not stop and slow down a little bit. could mean that everyone else would have to pay a higher fairs on the subway to help support the elderly. i mean that's, that's what it's all about. isn't it in an economy that the, the younger workers are paying the price the pension it's yes, that's definitely true. but when we look at the korean population pyramid, the base of the pyramid now is shrinking every year. so yes, the young people are eventually going to have to pay more on the subway in career is still extremely cheap. but yeah, we can definitely see that in the future, the burden is going to be on fairly placed upon the younger people to support this very, very large group of people over 65. it sounds like the retirement age

is, is, is going to be raised at some stage. i know that's being discussed at the moment in south korea. i can't see it not being at least discussed very, very seriously. um, we have government programs full employing the elderly in kindergartens and primary schools as cross war people. this is also happening a lot of my own fathering laurie is working very diligently. it's 73 years old. so yes it's, it's definitely going to be a serious discussion and we're still talking about an extremely wealthy nation, highly productive economy, a with a fairly healthy growth rate. but um, you mentioned that the generous benefits on off of there. i also believe south korea has one of the most generous health care systems in the world. yes, it certainly does. i think we owe both koreans and foreign is treated equally under

the health care system. it's very generous. it's his understanding that if the population's healthy, then that's a, a good thing on going to the doctor is extremely quick. convenient, cheap on getting medicines getting reimbursed by the health system. all, very, very generous. all very well set out by the oh no, that i was going to say the older you get it more important that health care system becomes, of course. and the older you get, the more you spend on health care. so can the insurance companies continue to be this generous care the government health care system continue to be this generous when it's no longer looking after 20 percent of the population who goes to the doctor every week. but when it gets to 30 percent or 40 percent of the dock of the population going to the doctor very regularly, will these general general benefits continue? it's a tough question and the tough one for politicians with the elections are always on

the horizon. and that voter base are only getting older rod roth. well, from george mason university, korea and song go. thank you. thank you very much. and that's all we have time for today. be sure to check out our other stories on the w dot com slash asia, or on facebook or twitter. you can also download the dw news app from google play or apple's app store. i been puzzling in berlin, thanks for watching the w news asia. you next on so i was just rescuing data from a farm. this one, this body globally, you know, i found it like this and i couldn't just leave it there. i should meet.
