you with the news grades live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com and a parade to remember the beginning of the iran iraq war has ended with at least twenty nine people dead gunmen opened fire on a military commemoration in the southern iranian city of as well as it was quick to claim responsibility an iranian military spokesman has blamed two groups linked to court to gulf countries with ties to the u.s. and israel here it is on the map for you just briefly that is about one hundred fifty kilometers from the iraqi border an area that seen arab separatists attack oil pipelines in the past also one of several cities where they've been large anti-government protests in recent months let's start with this report from. chaos and panic in the city of atlantis in southern iran as an unprecedented scene unfolds during a military parade. unidentified gunman opened fire year and prayed at the start

of sacred defense week it commemorates iranians who died during the eight year war with iraq in the one nine hundred eighty s. . most of the victims were members of the revolutionary guards women and children were also killed in the attack back to jordan so now because this man is asking why his four year old daughter had to die every evolutionary gart spokesman says four men dressed in khaki uniforms and riding motorbikes are connected to the al legacy a group which is supported by saudi arabia. all four suspects have been killed when they come to launch an attack like this you see in southwestern iran in and out of a populated region can back me that there has been a bill and put out a plan in order to send a very strong message actually so are you lation stupid but. now and there are

reasons to believe now that. this is been a sack masterminded by the united states and the saudis especially because the attack here we are it's of all out was he is supported by this all these you know have been recognised been in charge of this attack the rare attack took place in close islam province which borders iraq and has the largest ethnic arab community in iran the province was a major battleground during the iran iraq war. the attack happened this president has an rouhani was delivering a speech at the main anniversary parade in tehran he immediately vowed a question response and order security forces to find who is behind the attack and in africa as the investigation continues into the major breach of security dosage of bari al jazeera. the first official reaction we had was a tweet from the iranian foreign minister zarif he said this terrorists recruited trained armed and paid by

a foreign regime have attacked he said he then went on to say iran holds regional terrorist sponsors and the u.s. must is accountable for such attacks. what does that mean well let's ask mr jordan is with us in studio a regular contributor he's the associate professor in contemporary history of the middle east across a university. actually we'll come back to that tweet in a moment the first thing i think is how we ask the questions of who what where where why and how the importance i feel of who and why at this point what are your thoughts i think i think it's hard to say c'mon who's behind it now we have the. national resistance movement there now is that a sponsibility. the response of the media of the car and also the responsibility of the attack but it's hard to say who's now after a few hours there's no doubt that iran was targeted according to their own the sources from a car and just in june they were able to stop a group of

a car either to do some activity and to her and they have also they were able also to face some of the groups and baluchistan and the border with pakistan so that within the security i would say circle in iran there was sort of there were alerted about activities of a car either i think this is what is interesting about this event is actually targeting the visionary god in the day where they showed the muscles before the people and that is the story which basically people get out of because sizing the regime in the last few months and there was a lot of reports about you know criticism to the region for being ignoring their own demands so then we had a pheasant i said in that tweet holding regional terrorist sponsors in the us masters accountable rouhani says to gulf countries with ties to the u.s. and israel. saudi arabia and the u.a.e. is that we deduce that if there is as we think one thing in a context we have to remember that pres mumbles and man did say that the butter

will be moved to inside iran and he would interview will not interview that no no longer will be able to act into iran outside the border we will go inside and that's one thing i think we will we will expect more capitalization and that statement from iranian media can i just jump in because i've just seen on the wires here iran's supreme leader how many cases this attack on there is linked to u.s. allies in the region are there all. pushing this one line and it makes me think about retaliation because you know zarif said that as well we will respond swiftly what do you think a retaliation could look like because you've got this other theater of war don't you you've got yemen which we know the iranians and the saudis and over and over i think there's two ways of retaliation when i call it we have capitalization in the event iran this comes after two days of being of announcing the department of justice report on on and terrorism where they attack iraq so iran will come with

allies on this by saying to the world look you accuse us of being there isn't look we are targeted in terrorism so they would become better allies ation as part of retaliation on them by saying we are a victim as others are written so recently there will be coverage that i was in this there that i think the other way of. it would be actually criticizing the countries working with the united states in particular because there is always in that in the last few months there was always a position of tech theories of being responsible of terrorism and instability in the region and there are always just if it's a presence in syria and iraq and the amount for. and to create it so there would be also sort of retaliation in those places i would expect in syria i would expect in there are sort of attacks to those two groups that iran is involved in a way or other and those fight what sort of support could iran expect because supporting iran for a lot of countries is a difficult thing even in a case like this where it's clearly been attacked so far there was a lot of statement from london you know condemn condemnation of what's happened i

expect sort of this statement will appear from me until tomorrow from different places and then expect more especially you know we are moving we are moving toward another wave of sanctions on iran in november by the united states i think we expect the next week on the new york more i would say water for words between iran and united states iran and israel about terrorism and the terrorism all of these issues and i think the story of today will. it was an important story to comment on were it well she was very thank you for coming. in ok now you can expect iran to be in the headlines a lot more this week it is the annual u.n. general assembly gathering in new york that means of course lots of speeches from lots of world leaders but also leaves looking at this for a some potential fireworks at the security council right will donald trump will be obviously attending the general assembly but he's also going to be chairing a meeting at the security council and this is been quite a ride for a white house planners and u.n.

ambassador nikki haley on september fourth haley told journalists that trump's plans to chair one of the meetings so he could quote address iran's violations of international law and the general instability iran so throughout the entire middle east region of tweeting and response a day later iran's foreign minister zarif criticized the move saying that trump plans to abuse the presidency of security council to divert the session and blame iran for horrors the u.s. and its clients have unleashed across the middle east and it seems zarif was not the only one disappointed the washington post reported also quoting sources from inside the u.n. that some u.s. officials and allies believe the topic would expose disagreements between the u.s. france and britain over the twenty fifteen nuclear iran nuclear deal which chump withdrew from last may and so days later the u.s. mission to the u.n.

changed the topic on the agenda to quote counter proliferation and ambassador hateley said they'd broaden the topic because the president did not want to be limited then the next day treated this same i will chair the united nations security council meeting on iran next week they have it more if you're playing on following the security council meeting and trumps a speech there or if you have a story to share with us to get in touch with us with our hash tag as always hash tag a.j. news. plenty o. . that un general assembly coverage or anger as we call it on the road this week as leader says get in touch with us hashtag a j newsgroup and a.j. english on twitter you can reply to the thread there me with the hash tag and osama is looking for your responses at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera i've already heard from dr iran who says he thinks it's a great way for iran to deflect by simply blaming the u.s. and we just heard the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini blaming the u.s. as well it's u.s. linked countries in the middle east for this attack hashtag a journey through

twitter facebook whatsapp and telegram where moving on an incredibly says amazing a survivor has been found in the wreckage of the tanzanian ferry two days after it collapsed he is one of only forty one people who survived at least one hundred ninety six others drowned in lake victoria on thursday tanzania's president is blaming overloading and negligence for the disaster he has ordered police to arrest the boat's owner malcolm weight has more from the ugandan side of lake victoria lake victoria lies across kenya tanzania and uganda all three countries have a lot of corruption poverty and poor regulation so safety doesn't ways come. the regulations say that all boat passengers are meant to whales wear life jackets and we were given some divide in this boat over there not in very good condition often is also not enough to go around that it's also a very difficult for authorities to enforce these regulations across such

a vast expanse of water but the lake is key for trade large boats like this one carry cargo this one runs regularly between kenya and tanzania. in an area where the road networks aren't good carrying things on trucks can be expensive and slow as the waterways are important the boats tend to get used right up to the end of their lives you can see this blue one sitting lopsided in the water must have been built many decades ago and used for a long time before resting here in the large ferry behind it this boat went out of service several years ago after another boat accident it collided with another boat here in the lake the other boat sank several people drowned in that accident too the boat that capsized in tanzania eyewitnesses say it had two or three hundred people on board it was only meant to have one hundred feet in these kinds of conditions that overloading is very common that's what causes so many of these

fatal accidents so you're definitely not an isolated situation in fact back in twenty twelve malcolm webb was in zanzibar for us when a ferry with at least two hundred eighty people on board sunk off the east african coast after it fits a once again from tanzania dozens of people killed there and that was actually the second such very disaster in zanzibar along the previous year two thousand and eleven two hundred people were killed when an overcrowded ferry capsized now we ask malcolm for his thoughts today on that event seven years ago. i covered the twenty eleven fact austin thompson and for how just era of medication traveling from mainland thames and its islands capsized in the indian ocean two hundred. knots occasion to be made decades before in the us and it was designed. like lakes they worked for many years. and it was decommissioned and sold

bracing company and sound. seas one day when it was heavily laden. by the time there was a lot of shocking. regulation. of the now gone much safer think turia things are still behind. us so there's a big issue of maritime safety here to discuss isn't there and we spoke to and two on the run about a little earlier for the maritime operations manager at the group s.o.s. meditate on hay he says better regulations do need to be put in place. these challenges of transporting passengers and whether ship is a very old story we had a story of many accidents in the world but clearly in these kind of area where it's really hard to control how many people get on barak onboard the ship for the crew members for the captain they never really know where all the limits of the safety be because of course when you have too many people probably here twice the amount

of people on board the ship there is a high risk both overloading and and stability so the weight is too high the gravity sensor is too high and the ship can capsize so there is a need for rickard to make sure that the captain knows exactly how many people he has been born into limit to the intimate of people and then there is another before to do in terms of risk you capacities is fifty four capsizing didn't work it's really really fast and your rescue capacities need to to to react very quickly with a lot of means because it's a massive rescue operations where we have. both hundreds of people bullshit.
