Episode description
Indonesia's president has warned that the police and army will take the "strongest possible action" to tackle a wave of violent anti-government unrest. President Prabowo Subianto said some of the protests - including the homes of politicians being looted - amounted to what he called treason and terrorism. We speak to a student leader.
