john, don't r s activists, journalist and politicians living and anxiety too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this way because i'm responsible for the future follow country for the people who are behind the bus. people need to know what is happening there in our series guardians of truth watch. now on youtube dw documentary videos, aisha are coming up to the over use of jakarta as ground water is causing the city to sink. now the government is making efforts to prevent the put fluids be in time to save the city and is moving the capital to another one. the only viable long term solution, the

high bit expanded. you welcome to the the blue news aisha. innovation is moving ahead but plans to relocate it's capital city from jakarta to east caught him on time by 2020 for some parts of the government are expected to move this year itself . one of the biggest reasons for the move is the fact that your contact is literally sinking. groundwater reserves are depleting due to over use and sea levels are rising at the same time. conditions that make everyday life a struggle for many it's an almost daily reach. well, for people in water and fresh water is being delivered this ricardo sauber is right next to the coastline. and like the rest of the nation's capital, is sinking at an alarming rate. allowing sea water to put much of the ground water,

the, the filing good, nothing water that 12, teeth extractions, use ground water for washing and bathing one. did you got a i've got a, i've got photograph files that are side and then you've got to make your body itchy . the underwater is also a bit greasy. the non pull normally out of most inside the long that moment and cut them from the dose, who can afford it? also buy fresh water to take a 2nd shower after using the ground water, libya be less. i thought i had a very good of getting that the only 60 percent of the capital is connected to a pipe water system. the rest have to pump water from private wealth, but with no access to clean ground water in the suburb residents like mostly mean the pad on water times for drinking water and water pump from wells for everything else. but very pumping ground water. he like millions of other residents,

is actually contributing to the sinking process and run by the loving. yeah. and the last but not above the main cause of land subsidence is the mass of groundwater extraction happening around your car to uh, make a move out if it goes to areas. rising sea levels also contribute to the subsidence memory. it will go in addition, abrasion and see water intrusion, create a more unstable land structure on the sabbott se the dakota stuff and she'll government has set it intends to provide a pipe water system for all by 2030. this would help areas that already struggle with salt water. that crucially, it could also help this thinking process. time is of the essence. while the government me soon start moving its capital to the island of border new most of jakarta, 11000000 residents, we will remain. but the transition won't come cheaply,

it's all about the money. we have to have the funding and then we have to develop it, developing a system, a pipe system where you have to buried on the ground in the city this already built place. dakota, that's also a different problem altogether. the residents of water on the whole, the sooner we'll also be connected with the salt water intrusion, they have lost one battle. but they are determined not to lose the next sea water level as we continue to rise. but to cut us rapids thinking the residents say needs to be stopped. and joining me not for more context is lank up for the, the ph. d. v cetera. at the institute division studies at university of little 9. that'll salaam. and she has looked at the issue of a subsidence that is facing across the country is a public. but the government in jakarta is investing in building

a water pipe network while at the same time going ahead with construction to build a new cap. cool. all these extra actions seem contradictory, don't they? okay, um, thank you for the interruptions. actually. yes, in 2 years ago your car government has tried to build a new pipeline to the community. so they have the to distributed the fresh water to community. because we know in jakarta, most community tend to get the water from the arctic ocean route, which is very conventional. um, it happens due to the condition of the car because we don't have the risk of work. so oh community, especially the poor, one needs to get the water with a very cheapest rate and a very uh, fastest rate. right. well people assume that as the, you know, the very practical way. we now have

a high cost. but that in jakarta is government trying to alter that plan by the community. because you mentioned above the contrast between the desired us government and tried to build a new pipeline to give the front of the community. but at the same time also relocating the capital one time. that's a very you know, interesting fact. so individual government actually has a long term plan about relocating capital in 1990 section. yes. right so, so just so like what does this mean? i'm just trying to understand what the painting here is. it does the gum when the thing gets in actually be able to save jakarta by bending this pipe network to yes. so in the government wants to keep in capital, but it doesn't mean they neglected jakarta because you kinda feel the center of the

business and training for indonesia. so even though you've never been, once we're looking to come back and then you can't go. but still they really want to me just kinda as the business center, the new york, maybe if we want to compare to america, even though it's not a apple apple. but yeah, they, we use to still catch up with dakota and relocating new capital, new governments central into the government. so yeah, maybe for some peoples outside in the media. this could be like a comfort to plan. right, so in the long term, do you think that the city can actually be saved from sinking, given this depletion of the ground water level. and the fact that increase in some parts of chicago. some parts of dakota on the actual current sea level and the sea

level is the rising. is it how realistic is it? but took off that we'd be saved from thinking of the long term. okay, so in my institution. so previously i worked for the indonesian government this attempt or before i seem to know why. so we've conducted some research related to the laptop students into the car. to be honest, especially in the north, declared that the looks of the lens, oxygen is gain a decrease through the years. if you read the news publications by many of the scholars, every year before, just percent of laptops, it is happening. if you asked me, well, how would you see that as a promoting one? how would you be saved you? quite a very complicated area because everything's there. we also

have a previous category here and also suburban which is very dense with the population. but if government tried to build your pipeline and then the best, the using the usage of the soil, well, i think we can see it as you fire. but before it's time, it's not an instant way by giving such awareness of what it is very important in jakarta. so you're talking to jakarta will ultimately not have to be abandoned. an internship will be able to have another capital in calling on time. is that correct? yeah, yeah, so even though capital there are no kids. okay. you kinda will not be abandoned because you've got a center for the business and training for indian country like i probably will have

to leave it there for the timing. but thank you so much for putting all of that into perspective and follow your contacts. thanks so much. you're welcome. some man in taiwan, a breathing new life into the fix. the main character, often associated with a woman ruling the waters. these man a boy and we have enthusiasm at becoming merman, a new role that's empowering them and tipping gender scales and stereotypes in the process. it's a discipline demanding grace and athleticism. underwater well drawing air infrequently and it's mostly practiced by women. let's meet some of the male participants of what's thought to be time. ones 1st ever made in contest. there a rear breed in competition is fierce than that. yeah,

that's pretty minimal. just wondering in the water without cargo, since you still need to look pretty, that is, the hardest part is not to choke. and the warrenton move eligible in every breast exchange. when you dive in, you still meet to stay pretty soon. the time of the amateur man began free diving 2 years ago, soon after his coach introduced him to a mermaid diving, a trained hair stylist. he'd like to become a professional merman. but societies perceptions are making it hard. some people have very specific ideas of what mythical creatures with fish deals should look like in real life. on the desk, just to few my moments here in other countries, i've seen many websites about me and my mates. they are manly, muscular, or even gully. they have it all that he and i want everyone things only women can be not made such as to what's it?

yeah, it's definitely more difficult for males. but the underwater world is slowly but surely becoming more diverse. 5 of the 20 competitors here are male and all are taking the contest very seriously. for jim john lew performing here means the world is participating in competitions as a way to test your strength and ability. competing as a process. actually during the preparation, i felt i wasn't being recognized but still to the group i will perform is myself in front of everyone show that same and so he does. fulfilling his lifelong dream, of in throwing the audience and bringing aspiring murman across the
