Floods paralyse Indonesian capital
Heavy monsoon rain triggered severe flooding in large swathes of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, on Thursday, bringing the city to a halt.
As a result of the rain many government offices and businesses were forced to close because workers could not get to work.
At least 20,000 people were forced from their homes in the capital and weather officials warned the rain could get worse over the next few days.
