Annisa : hello and welcome to the infinity news. My name is Annisa. Our story today is about State of
emergency declared as bushfire threatens Australian capital. Australian officials declared a state of
emergency for the capital city of Canberra and surrounding regions on Friday (Jan 31), as soaring
temperatures and strong winds threatened to propel a large bushfire beyond the control of
firefighters. Andrew Barr, Chief Minister for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), said the decision
to declare the first state of emergency since fatal wildfires in 2003 indicated the potential danger
over the weekend. Shortly we will be going live to our reporter in the minister’s office the capital of
the Australian.

Bintang : yes Annisa now I am in front of the office of the Australian capital region minister along
with the chief minister of the Australian capital region Andrew barr.

Good afternoon sir, how is Canberra today?

Alfino : an uncontrolled fire in the ACT's south, on the doorstep of Canberra, had grown to 185 sq
km, almost 8 per cent of the territory's land mass. This fire may be very unpredictable. It may
become uncontrollable. And now cities in the southern Canberra is in danger.

Bintang : What causes of the city in the southern Canberra in danger?

Alfino : This is caused by combination of extreme heat, wind, and a dry landscape.

Bintang : What actions have the government taken?

Alfino : giving authorities greater powers to order evacuations, close roads and take control of
private property.

Bintang : Are there neighboring countries affected by the fires in Australia?

Alfino : In neighbouring New Zealand, where smoke from the Australian blazes has turned glaciers
brown, firefighters were battling to contain around 25 fires that spread rapidly to cover around 100
hectares on the South Island.
Bintang : How many losses has Australia experienced today?

Alfino : Australia has been battling bushfires across its east coast that have killed 33 people and an
estimated 1 billion native animals since September. Around 2,500 homes have been destroyed as
more than 11.7 million hectares have been razed.

Bintang : thank you very much for the information that has been given sir.

Alfino : You're welcome

Bintang : am reporting that fires in Canberra have grown. This fire has killed 33 people and an
estimated 1 billion native animals since September. Around 2,500 houses have been destroyed
because more than 11.7 million hectares have been destroyed. The fire might not be controlled
anymore because the combination of heat, wind and extreme dry scenery will have an impact on
neighboring countries. Back to the studio.
