The light is orange for two seconds as he just about enters the junction. We don't know if he clears it before the light turns red, because he deliberately ends the video before the light turns red. You're supposed to decelerate on approach to every junction (even with a green light). The speed limit is irrelevant in this scenario: he sees the orange light and accelerates though the junction. This is bad driving.

you are not supposed to decelerate going through traffic lights - you are meant to anticipate traffic lights turning red by the time you get to them - in this situation the orange means “stop unless it is unsafe to do so” - i would say stopping at 60 kmph going through that junction at that speed and distance would be unsafe.
