bangladesh it's the same story dangerous flooding and mudslides. and fold over hinge of refugees from neighboring mine the rain and landslides have washed away thousands of hillside shelters leaving several dead. hundreds homeless or we're having problems during this rainy season getting food the kids are suffering from disease the toilets and bathrooms are a problem the kids are not able to go to school and schools are falling into disrepair these are the problems we face almost a huge swathe of south asia used to monsoons is affected by the floods in india arun shell pradesh west bengal and assam with well over a 1000000 people affected as well as livestock and crucially crops so say that the biggest loss has been the crops assumes farmers begin sowing irrigating the land with electric pumps and all then the rain began the rainfall has also been extreme
11:03 am
70 to 72 hours of continuous rain the water level kept increasing and slowly submerge the farmlands nearly all of the crops have been destroyed. excited about climate change means more extreme weather and many a concern about how that's affecting our food systems. this monsoon and a ruined harvest will be felt well beyond the end of the rainy season. as we've heard there a 1000000 people displaced what are the authorities doing to help. well the authorities have deployed an immense effort because this is a man with oxygen something of course it's been in some lost all to me than it has been in the past but for example in india the national disaster the spawns force is
11:04 am
one of the biggest disaster management forces in the world and they have done an incredible job just earlier this year there was a massive cycle insight from finding in the loss of life was severely it was was controlled and managed and it's in the ne the disaster was my mr lloyd it's even this time that have been security forces deployed in india as flood affected areas in the parlor as well but there are also massive challenges they have set up 247 help lines but communication towers have fallen in the fall highways have been blocked so it was so hard for security forces to deploy these efforts helicopters on her face this demand so there's actually a hope that waters will recede once the reasons start easing off and they would be able to deploy more of an effort for rescue and recuperation now we know that flooding it happens every year in this part of the world how would you compare this year to previous years. but like us had this seal in the hall there have been reports the flooding has been worse in some parts
11:05 am
however all over this particular region floods are an annual affair and the challenges in these reasons are way different from bill to borneo as in india such as flooding in mumbai or the city of chennai now in these either of them all mountainous it isn't the flooding will be here because it's still a lot of loss of life because of these events lying alongside druids as well so also extreme climate change has extreme weather conditions have become more common that is an mit study that actually predicts that by the end of the century india would be 80 percent of the u.s. population would be subject to extreme weather conditions so this is something that authorities have to prepare for even though the contraband floods in mountainous regions they do have to deploy more forces more efforts to make sure that people are not as badly affected as they are every year and look at let's look at that level of preparedness that you reference in bangladesh specifically because i mean they have some unique challenges with hundreds of thousands of refugees from me on
11:06 am
mar how were they affected. well exactly the condition in baghdad this is different and there is the challenge of the refugee camps close to a 1000000 people are in boxes bazaar and we saw in the report that there's also a massive impact because of the landslides that have been happening months life since the approach has taken 7 lives in those refugee camps water borne illnesses are also a serious challenge but even overall for bangladesh the set of challenges are different from the region throughout discussing in india and nepal because 80 percent off on this flood plain in bangladesh has been at risk of being submerged and that this has been increasing europe on you know so the government there even for the for the people outside of the camps even for bomb of the season other the line visions have had to deploy additional forces and efforts to make sure that people are not affected but of course with the camps there is and additional challenge because here are
11:07 am
a 1000000 people who have already been the story is but also for us and the world problems because of that them fish being affected because of this massive flooding in the nation just while in delhi thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world. india's national space agency has awarded a highly anticipated launch to the moon the decision was taken less than an hour before blastoff because of quote a technical snag found in the launch vehicle india's aiming to become just the 4th country to achieve a soft landing on the moon surface u.s. president donald trump has been accused of racism after tweeting that 4 democratic congresswoman of color should quote go back and help fix where they came from one of the women alexandra cortez responded by calling trump quote angry because you can't conceive of an america that includes us. former south african president jacob

from economic sanctions. for more i'm joined here in the studio by ben i'm ben talib lu her research fellow at the foundation for defense of democracy u.s. foreign policy and national security think tank which opposed the 2015 deal and has advised the champ and ministrations welcome to the program thank you for joining us really we have iran saying that it's ready for dialogue if sanctions are eased and just yesterday european powers are calling now also for talks reiterating that call shouldn't the u.s. and iran head back to the negotiating table. i think that's absolutely right i think the term of ministration despite putting massive financial economic and some would even say military pressure on these lama public is looking to get iran to come back to the negotiating table to iran to set some of these different preconditions i shot a couple of drone has shot a drone out of the sky has fired on tankers that using mines iran i think is trying to get the conditions ready for it to eventually come back to the table because i
11:10 am
think it knows that it eventually will have to come back to the table and but i mean just yesterday and we have to address this a british newspaper publishing these leaked memos from the former you came back to washington essentially saying. he claims that trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with no plan on what to do next does the united states have a plan well the plan seems to be to use exactly the same sanctions exactly the same tools that got us to the nuclear deal but again once you get to the table to broaden the issues that the administration has talked about these 12 points i'm sure that you know it's not just the nuclear issue it's the missile issue the military issue the terrorism issue basically what has made and sustained iran and international pariah for the past 40 years the qualms that we have again as an institution with the tracy nuclear deal is that it only addressed the nuclear threat and it didn't even do that quite well so now that there's an opportunity to regenerate the pressure to get iran to come back to the table why not broaden the issue set and see if you want links from what you know there's a saying you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater right what is your long
11:11 am
term goal here is the government looking for regime change for example in iran there's simply been people in washington who've been talking about regime change but i think the troubled ministration remains committed to getting a bigger broader better deal i think even last summer as you saw some pretty fiery tweets exchanged between iranian and american officials the administration has been committed to getting grow honey did they go shooting table to talking with iran i think it's been quite unprecedented to see such financial pressure coupled with a desire to talk if anything to iran may try to abuse this desire to talk to up its leverage and to make american want a deal more than it needs a deal why you're talking with the speaker. better deal on what makes makes you so optimistic that you might get that because in seeing the situation currently on the ground i mean just in the past month we saw this plan for u.s. airstrikes on iran calling it off at the last minute and then the tensions are rising in a way that is concerning the international community how do you see the dangers in the region of destabilizing iran through this policy well the funny thing is that
11:12 am
iran is the one destabilizing the region i think it's important to have the causal chain correct here iran is a trying i think trying to get leverage it knows that it can outlast this pressure policy for the 1st year of max pressure it thought it out lasted for a good ministrations now it's trying to create leverage trying to up the ante do things that actually would make america again return to their goshen table and appear to want to deal more than to iran needs a deal so yes iran does have these destabilizing policies which behooves us in international community to come together not have this transatlantic divide that currently exists and attempt to present a united western front to deal with these issues diplomatically and that was ben and ben tell a blue with the foundation for defense of democracy speaking with me a short while ago. meantime in tennis news novak djokovic is the men's wimbledon champion after coming through an epic 5 set encounter with fellow heavyweight roger federer the match last year only 5 hours with the 5th set going to a tie break before the serbian prevailed 13 to 12. the wind is his 5th title at
