the floating system will be assumed choice. se asia is now home to several floating solar projects and more are in the early stages of development. this is the toronto reservoir in west java. we're in denisia supposed to floating solar power plant is being developed. the early stages of construction are underway and it should be operational by late next year. it will be the 1st of many here in indonesia, the $100.00. this video shows what the final project will look like, or as or, or goal is to show indonesia is capable of building floating solar panels, the biggest in se, asia. there are also cost saving benefits. vanessa combined is slightly more expensive than ground mounted solar panels. but because the temperature is low in the risk of war, the output will be higher. many southeast asian countries have announced their aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 or shortly after floating solar technology may

be an important part of realizing those goals. jessica washington al jazeera london now jordan established the 3rd national orchestra and the arab world, back in the late eighty's. it's performed with renowned artists including the italian tenant hon chelly. but it's now struggling to survive as natasha name reports from the call it and on and off love affair with the very last pipe. humor ad dean is jordan's only professional tuba player and a member of the national music conservatory orchestra were due to lack of funding. she's only been able to perform with the orchestra 3 times in the last 2 years. it's like taking from a doctor the ability to do surgeries or see patients. it's just it's what i do with music and what i do, who i am. so i don't do that. it's just,

it makes me frustrated. the orchestra has never had a stable source of funding in its 33 year history from 2006 to 2011. the city of man was a benefactor until it ran out of money that in 2014, a wealthy businessman supported the orchestra for 3 years until he could no longer afford it. the conductor says it costs about half a $1000000.00 a year to keep the orchestra playing regularly. mm hm. and city is the conductor and the director of the national music conservatory. 400 students school offers beginners classes to college degrees and was a pathway for musicians to join the orchestra. but he says now it's become more of a gig for higher plane only sporadically. and it'll remain that way until the government provides funding in the arab world, some governments financially support national orchestra to have an orchestra. it's

always a losing project because you have the cost very high cost. and what you have benefit for it is you have culture and this is the face of the country. the minister of culture says, the government hires the orchestra to play at special events and doesn't intend to turn the musicians into public employee's commissioner. couldn't mikka as a funeral to law? we are hoping that the orchestra gets proper funding, but not like now only playing for special occasions. every musician dreams of playing solo. if there is no orchestra, how will this dream come true? with few opportunities available is a dream. many musicians are now pursuing abroad. natasha gleam l 0 a man. jordan ah,
