like no other. more international. welcome. it's good to have you with us it's been cold and the worst flooding in one hundred. seventy deaths and flooding into thoughts of iran and its. heavy rain since may. twenty fourth one provinces gaullist on province in the north pole the initial brunt of the flooding subsequently it spread to other provinces including. in the southwest. in fact has three major

rivers that flow through it and the continued threat of flooding has that used to order the evacuation of six cities along. with. unprecedented scenes for a normally air rich region. who's this town in southwest iran is one of the latest provinces facing mercy evacuations as fresh downpours christie is hear about new flooding. further know in the restaurant province extreme floods and ghost cities and submerged homes. in the water was up to here there's the markle to move the of boot some locals aren't waiting for help they've started prepares wishing to return to normal life as soon as possible. or laws just provide us with cement and equipment so we can do the work faster. relief efforts are stalled aid agencies

say the u.s. is partly to blame according to the iranian red crescent washington sanction on terror and have blocked any foreign financial aid to enter the country on his state t.v. iran's president said last week that it was a quote disgrace. that they create shish one hahaha bites of what the americans wished for everyone will see that our big mission our officials are now on forces walking together when we construct the ruins of a hot albeit hot all heavy rain since march has inundated almost two thousand communities causing damages with hundreds of millions of us. with its outposts showing new signs of easing many iranians are bracing for the worst. we have their claims that u.s. sanctions are hampering relief efforts to flood victims a last me get out foreign minister zarif accused his american counterpart. of fake

news for saying the u.s. was quote ready to assist through the international red cross that if treated as the i.c.r.c. president noted the red crescent gone for seventy funds due to illegal us sanctions us should own up to its economic terrorism the red cross has denied making those remarks a cover mother and former deputy head of it ons department of and bottom and says the wall does ignoring the disaster he tweets the level of international attention to it on unprecedented floods is surprisingly low people of iran are in need of help and attention regardless of international politics let's get more from tehran joining us now is i mean he's if he's tehran correspondent i mean good to see you what is the situation in iran right now. oh and thank you for having me situation in iran right now i can see is that well the flaw has reached the

southwestern part of iran those are the risk operations going on and who's a stan has basically declared him to be in a state of crisis right now and it's mostly because the new body builder of chad has a flooded and accuracy is. going toward the city and threatening up more cities in capital of start which is home to about more than a million and a half people. now it in foreign minister moment jobs or if has accused the u.s. and said that the sanctions imposed by the united states are harming and hinder the grief and rescue operations what are you seeing on the ground. well our i would say that the sanctions in the are harming the efforts well basically is that well first of all you does depend on we are asking from if you ask the u.s. state or park to say that humanitarian aid is not sanctioned that is true on its

own in theory but banking transactions are basically impossible there is no aid can possibly come in iranian red cross and there's reason to claim that not all foreign aid all financial foreign aid so far has been received ever since the flights largely middle of march and that is basically because. sanctions what everyone has got for seems to be only equipment and it's very small and that's a month's truth and cash which is bashed badly needed as not only yet it seems though the only. transaction channel right now is german red cross and seemingly organisations are supposed brought with them so it can get to russia but that still is not definite so. sanctions don't you have to have a start i would say but just to hear of this disaster are made to turds of the

country under water two thirds of the country flooded is there an argument to say that the government potentially did not see this disaster coming. well i would say that the government failed to prepare for this disaster it's not just anticipating it and. burden falls equally also it's everyone in control and i would say because the situation we have with deforestation the situation we have with the normal is a modest downs' situation we have with. unwarranted our non-licensed constructions where the rivers used to be because if you know iran has been in a time of drought for several years no one has that they did anything come in it so with that people people say they got the illegal warrants and places.

and. buildings also to use the rivers used to beat which created the large rubber off this is that there's as you seem to grow so little for with all that we could you want for that bin if i walked in to subpoena think it. wouldn't be so sure because some of the images that have been pretty much seen all over at shiraz and that disaster happened in less than ten right thanks so much for that a better eleven leave it there for the time in our house was really speaking to us from don thank you so much next to thailand where millions of young men were numb this bomb how they will spend the next six months to two years of their lives for an estimated two hundred thousand of them it will mean serving in the military it's thailand's annual military draft which sees a male citizens age strength to one called up for service for a period of up to two years many don't want to go and they are not among the chosen
