3:30 am
in silence, we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something. how to tell the secret starts november 29th on d, w, the and the end of a to the cafe in japan, the most is people with dementia, new role. the save the do go in in d as a fine she's on to protect the gentle giant and was his mom's single poll shows how to tackle to sure, which is the welcome to singapore vibrant multicultural city state right on the equator,
3:31 am
densely populated around 6000000 people live on this tiny on and it's an international helpful trade in finance. it's clean, safe, more than wealthy green. basically it has a lot of everything you'd want this just that one think single pool has no natural, fresh water resources. and the way its economy and population are growing. total water demand could almost double by 2060, but think up was on it. uh none of what they've done is magic. so that's, peter is like, he's an award winning what the expert he puts think of pull success down to what he calls the soft pass approach to their problems. so the salt water is in contrast to what we have done over the last century and more, more than a century. look with a hard path to build hard infrastructure to take more and more water out of nature, to ignore the consequences of our water policies. for nature to build narrow institutions and the soft path tries to turn that around and say,
3:32 am
let's use water efficiently and carefully. let's stop wasting water. let's look at new sources of supply. to understand how single pole can pull this off, you 1st need to understand where that coming from the single for the story starts with world war 2. that's don't judge the guy for water at the united nations. singaporeans would argue that the story goes back a lot longer. but 1942 is certainly when the issue rep there was attention. that's when and i troops, namely british australian and indian forces with best thing. fishes depend on single pull island, which at the time was a british colony. dns depended on imported water, which was a bit of a problem when japanese forces blew up the pipes transporting that water. the rich, the connex, malaysia, and singapore was bones. the result was lack of water in the city, a terrible official, the water scar city. the allies lost the battle of singapore. but after japan's
3:33 am
overall surrender, the island remained in british. hence, it took more than 20 years until it became fully independent. but politically ration didn't precinct a pull from its watercress. what the reckoning, catastrophic sanitation and regular flats continued with its fate now in its own hands. seeing a pool begin planning for the long term. to see that the, to spend almost 3 decades researching what the policy and innovations around the world. and it's estimated busing, a post pos c number beginning the base that they're going to be watching the band as well as putting the band in energy independence. but they are going to have she stance up kinds of things as tracy. that was in 1965 for 2016. the initial master plan was fine tuned over the years into a water strategy, which they call the full and national taps. first, all the impulse, 2nd diesel,
3:34 am
the nation, that local catchment. and 4th, something they call new water. let's dive into it. firstly, singapore knew there was plenty of water rights. 2 deals to import water from malaysia in the sixty's. got the types running again. it's cheapened, millions of fleet is pumped over the boat every day, but buying have a fuel water from your neighbor, isn't sustainable long term. on the country from the stock malaysia and made threats to cut off the supply and argued over its price. the tensions have even left 2 warnings of the military conflict. single police know that weak spot, so they want to stop importing water by 2061. so it's all more important that the other 3 types become more than a drop in the ocean. water planning is very important because they have so little water. they must single, there must make sure that this was a use the lice me. and the objective of this master plan is to make the most out of
3:35 am
every single drop of water. these means keeping rivers and drain screen, investing billions, starting to collect a mobile, to cleaning it, and use what the item state single port already has. for example, this, the ocean this underground facility, for example, is state of the art. normally it treats use water in terms of the drought. it diesel in nancy water on top. people use it as a park today, 5 to southern nation plans provide up to 25 percent of the entire islands water supply. single floor plans to increase this capacity to meet 30 percent of its needs in 2016 at which time warranty was expected to have doubled. but that's no way me a self sufficiency. so what's next? legal. right. a lot of it and seeing is a master of mixing that out to a 3rd of the entire state. stuff is used for rainwater catchment and extensive
3:36 am
network of rivers, canals and drains channels. the what the interest 17 was of was the biggest this marine over us with an area of 10000 texas. it was back fresh water from flowing into the ocean and helps to control frequent floods. so does this underground tank that catches fluffed well. it's an extreme cases when the drain spill over. even this was i could potentially be treated and reused by 2060. the government wants to use 90 percent of the atlanta area for rain catchment. catching rain water is one thing. but what about the water already in circulation? o drainage water is, is collected and, and treated and reused as much as possible. most countries they do not invest, not even a fraction of what a single pores invest in the water authority is billed to 206 kilometers, 2 inch pipe highway, costing $10000000000.00 that guides the city sewage into state of the reclamation
3:37 am
and cleaning facilities okay, single post by some measure of the 5th, which is country in the world. so it kind of faults especially like that. it's also a lot easier to push through such projects when you have to sort of control democracy, run by the same party that sing up with that since independence in 1965. anyway, the entire city is underground is basically one big sewer network. but the pride of single pool is water strategy is what happens after collecting the water the treatment. you'll 30 call it new water. it's produced by micro situation versus most us into v radiation. the some of that water is so high quality, singapore is using it in their ship manufacturing industry, which requires ultra pure water, which has an indication of how good a quality of that water is. did you know that around the world? half of all waste water is released untreated,
3:38 am
and only 11 percent is actually reused in singapore. about 30 percent of the entire drinkable and non drinkable demand can be met by recycling use water. and they want to increase that to 55 percent by 2060. most of it is used by industry, only a fraction of it is mixed into the drinking water supply. because we also squeamish it's controversial because we're taking waste water, which, you know, we goes down our drains, we flush it down, our toilets industry dumps waste water. and we typically think of that as of a liability is something to get rid of. so how do we get people on board and using the flushed save assistant bag and said with every flush, make saving what the pay produced water consumption save up to 10 liters of water per dollar. nationwide campaigns encourage people to install what the saving fittings and nicely if you install those fittings who get the discount vouchers for other sustainable products. just to what time the district each households,
3:39 am
water consumption and detect leaks and pipes, that's all single pull comes down to an incredible 5 percent. what are those from leaks? which is 1st class globally, the average is estimated to be 30 percent. what they've done incredibly well in my opinion, is on the side of water education. they've educated their community about their water situation about their water challenges and about the solutions that they've chosen to put as good as simple as doing. it has the big advantages of other countries besides being rich and the tightly controlled society. the city only has a tiny agricultural sector and can focus almost entirely on the oven and industrial wastewater. so they have one problem less as food production fluids and consumes enormous amounts of fresh water in many parts of the woods. despite that, they've shown a lot as possible. the
3:40 am
country music is often seen as a white music genre, even though almost a search of african americans listen to it regularly. but country all systems of color receive less than 2 percent of ad time. so is the country music industry, racist. this is bill cody, the grand elaborate plaza. it's nashville, tennessee, the stage, the $8650.00, a. w, as in nashville, tennessee, music city. if you want to make it in the country, music business, you have to come here. the good julie williams moved to the city 5 years ago hoping like many others for the big break. the big
3:41 am
mama code on case manager meals. i grew up listening to country music. my mom played country music in the car on the way to school. i always loved the storytelling, but not also now she tells her own stories in her songs like this one about her astro. she carries her mixed race heritage proudly. but a record label agent deals with the song is too specific for the majority of country fans or whites to oh, okay. i know southern julie can't seem to get a foot in the door neither with record labels nor on radio stations. 96 percent of all country songs or by white artists. it's easy to feel discouraged and to feel like this the steps that people have taken before you just say, hey,
3:42 am
you should do this this, this you're like wait, i don't think that's gonna work for me. cuz i can try so hard and, and, and really work to, to go about it the way that a white artist smell artist go about it. and just, i'm not gonna find any success in downtown nashville at noon. you can already hear live music playing everywhere with rock and country alternating randomly. country music fans have always been predominantly white, is that my black artist have few opportunities in this 1000000000 dollar business. scott collier is always on the lookout for new talent every week. he books, 400 shows, 4 kid walks honky tonk if they believe and a new comer here that talent is promoted all the way to a recording. the only teach them how to dress. we teach them how to saying we teach about what they say. all this stuff, so we build our artist from the ground up, you know, because most of these kids, you know, so most of these kids have come in to town. they have no clue. the talent of new
3:43 am
comers scott has gathered today are almost all white. but he says that skin color doesn't play a role in scouting. mean i just listen to their voice and they blown me away and they look like they're marketable and there the next best thing and they're hard work. or if they listen to direction and all that stuff, we have no problem putting them on stage is things have to be marketable. that's how the music industry works. and no john right has grown faster than country music in the past years. holly g had given up hope that the industry would change and become more inclusive. so she found it an organization that promotes black artists in the country, music industry. she finds of in use for them to perform and helps make them visible . when you look at the things that move the needle and country music, there's still not black artist being played on radio. they're still having
3:44 am
a really hard time getting like prominent spots on festivals. they're still not getting signs and labels that are in nashville. and so our goal is to kind of build our own ecosystem, so we don't have to wait for this slow moving change that the main screen keeps promising. s w s and the heart of the country music still be strong and radio stations like this one. bill cody is something of a radio legend. if anyone can explain why country is still considered white music by many, it's him, it's, it's, we would try to recreate that moment. the music of the early days was of the, the farm families, those farm families far primarily white. now there were lots of black folks working on those family farms and they had their own music. that's where the blues came from. and ultimately are in be his station plays more and more songs from black and latino artist. she says, but change takes time. so i think every station is,
3:45 am
you know, so you need to be aware of who your audience is to your research and then not be afraid to diversify that audience in cro, that audience we have this bill if you would consider inviting julie to his show. he says his producers will look into it, but so far they haven't been in touch with julie. yes. the lipstick lounge is a bar in east nashville. julie and holly liked to come here to listen to live music . they look for their nations also in their own music, but julie would love to become mainstream listen to by the majority of country fans playing music and talking about love and life, and family and, and not human mess that we all have. and no i, i think that that a lot of what people are like 123 is that like country music is changing. all that
3:46 am
like come to the show. come watch what we're doing. and you'll see that it is the countries like that that you love, it's just, you know, why the, why i have to be so vocal number is some of the reason why we have locked in the name of the organization is to ensure that that space is safe, i mean a lot of these artists have had times where they'll get books for show and show up, and they, it's only realized once they get there, that they're black. and then it's uncomfortable. the julie has just released her 2nd dial them on her own. and is relying on streaming platforms, but she still dreams of a record deal. and of one day playing on the big stages of nashville of the

weighing up to 400 kilos. do gongs closely related to manatees, of the only true habits was among marine mammals. imposing but gentle in language that's written with extinction. there's nothing to do but loves mod, done to praise on see for us. or on to me to as long. these warning memos also known as c goes funds you chinos and key will fit the what you in the balls my area of seminar, of the population. so during the, when i was a kid i so many do going to see it and i found my grandfather and i 30 or 40 years ago, and i used to catch themselves along those days are long gone. environmental degree decent along those lines has destroyed the habits of 2 goals, although the void with vast amounts of sea for us and that it was in recent years,
3:48 am
including anthem and no body via the origin is a found or a phone car. and, and you, the aims to restore these ecosystems open like the waste of shipment. before we started conservation work, we went to fisherman and local villages and told them that we were going to grow. so grow farther than they asked why we needed to. it's everywhere in the see if they said they have it on the i told them the in some areas degraded so we may have trouble again, it was skeptical and said it wouldn't work. no, we can at least try, i replied. and i'm one of the, one of them. the diverse collect, see gross from meadows that are still intact. then the speeds are attached to frames made by fishermen out of band bowl and ropes. these we will then be positioned on the sea bed of an effective an in the visor. let's
3:49 am
say we make these frames and put them in the water so that the sea grows throws, do guns have enough to eat. we tried to do this as we con, fee to do things by hand. yeah. but we can feed them in direct and each one of this work and i live out of it by helping restore the cost lined. the fisherman now have a regular income again. they go out to see in the morning with more c brochures for the friends, the foundations here, ideally the water is shallow. so the sunlight reaches the sea bed and the sea draws girls quickly got any particular farther wellbeing. today we have to say 2 guns. we're not just talking about saving mess creature, which is protected under the wildlife items for a little bit about protecting an entire marine ecosystem being able to and conserving the marine ecosystem by restoring c prost benefits fishermen to a number of only be mean i'm doing fishermen won't have to cross international

marine board as an efficient sort lanchen, warranties. in order to protect results in our oceans, we have to protect c gross. i'm maureen ecosystem, probably yet the father but it's a race against time. in some parts of the ones such as china, the cfo is close to extinction here and some of the hope is that the species can still be saved and its habits protected. the, this is new sort of stuff and depends restaurant industry precise at the time the organize it and this arrives. you know, here's the good cooperation. this elderly lady tells us a bit about herself and things, and it says here that my name is kim schon. okay. i like to knit i have

3:52 am
. john suddenly finds her annoying walk are quite useful. but which meal was meant for which cast? oh well, let the customers figure it out themselves. the waitress is probably forget their job and what they have to do right away. so let us think what it is, but they might remember that guess smiles in the long term. glove chon certainly brings a smile to everyone's face. even her family, her son in law and her daughter, they ordered drinks, but they don't make it easy for her. and they don't want to mix up on it. what is the cause a delay? do you understand? give a plus to coffee and don't forget the game . john is so absorbed by her work that she forgets for walker.

the owners of the restaurant make the rooms temporarily available. but kiko he ry who came up with the idea operates the it's okay cafe. a changing locations. her mother also has dementia and she wants to help others overcome their fear of the illness. and over tea and coffee, it's not hard to find topics to chat about. thank you. you know, i'm also a grandmother. i have grandchildren. how nice are you even have great, great grandchildren. oh no, i really feel young. do you really drink beer? yes, saki to it's all good. maybe that's why you're so fit. and to prove it, she breaks into some of the
