4) West Papua copper exports may resume
Updated at 7:09 am today
The mining company Freeport, which owns the massive Grasberg mine in West Papua, says it has agreed on a draft memorandum with the Indonesia government to resume copper exports.
Government officials say Freeport has agreed to divest 30 percent of its Indonesia unit, pay a 4 percent royalty for copper sales and 3.75 percent for copper, as well as building a smelter in Indonesia.
However, Freeport says it has yet to sign the agreement and there is still no timeframe for when exports will resume.
Legal experts have also warned that such agreements are not legally binding and the agreement could still fail when a new government takes office in October, after yesterday's election.
Freeport has been in talks with Jakarta to resolve a six-month dispute over strict new export rules that has halted copper concentrate exports.

Police academy receives Danish funding despite claims that one of its units violates human rights in West Papua
Denmark has since 2004 supported an Indonesian police academy (JCLEC) where the country's controversial elite unit Detachment 88 is being trained to fight terrorism.
But several human rights organisations claim the unit acts as a death squad in Indonesia's troubled West Papua region, and that it tortures and kills civilians and members of separatist movements.
"Not only are you responsible under these circumstances, in which you support the police, but you are taking part in a crime. If your attitude is so naïve, you can't help anyone," Basil Fernando, a legal advisor at the Asian Human Rights Commission in Hong Kong, told Deadline.
You have no control
Nick Chesterfield, a journalist at West Papua Media, claimed Denmark had absolutely no control of where its funds were going.

Denmark stands firm

"We made it clear that human rights and the rights of women and children is a priority from a Danish aspect, and that must be acknowledged and valued at JCLEC and the Indonesian police," he said.
Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard commented that Denmark supports JCLEC to strengthen the police’s knowledge of international rules and conventions and how to translate it into practice.
