V. Says that fog has made it difficult for rescue helicopters to reach the crash site. In the mountains were relatives of those on board and gathering it to port waiting for news of their loved ones. So i kept calling all morning but they wouldnt answer so i called my brother and he said theyll get he the plane isnt behind schedule yet i told him its writing he he said dont worry but he called lighter and said the plane had crashed. While the cause of the crash isnt confirmed International Sanctions have hampered irans ability to maintain a modern fleet and accidents have occurred regularly in recent years thirty nine people were killed in twenty fourteen after a separate passenger plane crashed after takeoff from tehran seventy seven people were killed when an iran air plan a plane crashed in bad weather in twenty eleven analysts say iran has relied on smuggled or improvised parts to keep fleets operational before sanctions were lifted iran hadnt directly bought a western built plane in nearly forty years iran ordered more than two hundred planes after sanctions were lifted in return for curbs on its Nuclear Activities the first delivery of an airbus a three twenty one arrived in tehran in january last year. Joining us this year to discuss the impact of sanctions on irans aviation history is travel journalist simon calder thank you very much for coming in so theres a little bit of an element there of the background to these sanctions but what does more about why theyve affected it the Aviation Industry so much in particular well of course are for thoughts were with the family and the friends of the victims of this terrible crash of we do not know whether in any sense the sanctions have had any impact on the terrible loss today however there is a direct connection between the sanctions which from the u. S. Point of view would be going on since nine hundred seventy nine in the arabian revolution and much more recently of course other western countries have joined in because of the very specific rules on aircraft components and entire aircraft and so therefore you have fleets of aircraft in iran as a man airlines flies its the only airline in the world that still flies commercially the boeing seven two seven try jet this is an aircraft which hasnt even been made for over thirty four years and so youve got effectively a block on components of. A new aircraft which is simply left iranian aviation pretty much as it was well lets say round about nine hundred eighty and that very sadly has had some effect on Safety Standards and as you mention it is it because some people say well you know in itself the age of neck up isnt necessarily an issue its more that if youre then trying to maintain it you cant maintain it properly yes i for example right now those British Airways jumbo jet twenty six years old on its way flying from heathrow to delhi and thats absolutely standard its probably been rebuilt several times during its lifetime so nothing specifically wrong with older aircraft but you need to be able to maintain them and youve got the situation where very good engineers in iran are having to cannibalize the aircraft which have been. Grounded in order to get parts and as you say theres talk that some parts of smuggled or improvised none of which is very good for aviation in the twenty First Century when globally aviation has never been safer and in terms of what the what they can do about it now and that they have ordered a whole bunch of new planes how quickly is other feats going to be replaced because it was it theres now the talk that the u. S. Wants to stop any kind of deal going ahead to what is it whats well point today at the moment if you go back to twenty fifteen when there was agreement about lifting the sanctions the very first big transaction was ordering effectively completely restocking of a vague iranian aviation this is a very large country with a very big population which needs an awful lot of aircraft and so you had airbus and boeing going in and as you say just about a year ago the first ever say three twenty one was replaced as a man airlines the airline involved and todays crunch tragedy has thirty brand new seven three seven max aircraft they simply cannot arrive soon enough in order to enhance the Safety Standards in a country which is desperately short of good aircraft has been one of the other things thats been mentioned is that the fact that the strain or the fine conditions in iran are quite often quite strenuous in the mountainous so that thats thats another element that can be a factor in these kind of crashes yes some of the aviators the pilots in iraq have extremely good reputation for coping with very difficult conditions mountains bad weather is weve weve seen today and of course we will find out in due course from the investigation what caused this particular accident but in a time when everything is being done to increase safety reduce risk the fact that one country is still flying aircraft which are so old and which are not properly maintained is a very serious cause for concern simon calder thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you. Once more to come on the news hour including a Church Services held for a long time Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai. Plus ten years after independence kosovo is as divided as ever. I know showcase for the worlds best basketball players has got political and he will be here with that story. To us now where wednesdays mass shooting at a school in florida continues to dominate the agenda the blame game extended to the role of the f. B. I. And whether the agency was fit for purpose on friday the f. B. I. Admitted agents had failed to investigate a tip off about the nineteen year old gunman Nicholas Cruz who had bought the gun used in the shooting illegally that prompted u. S. President donald trump to tweet that the f. B. I. Had spent too much time investigating allegations of collusion with russia during the twenty six thousand Election Campaign and on sunday the issue of russia collusion dominated the sunday talk show circuit the real issue right now is how do we have a president of the United States not saying what Everybody Knows to be true whats your interference to sixteen theyre going to interfere in two thousand and eighteen and we have got to do everything we can to make sure that they do not on the by an american democracy so this is a huge deal and that we dont have a president speaking out on this issue is a horror show and we have got to bring democrats and republicans together despite the president to go forward to protect the integrity of american democracy. Well it proves theres no clues into this point theres no collusion in terms of the facebook ads the other social media activity with director mueller made it very clear in the indictment that any participation by anybody whether it was in the Trump Campaign or the Sanders Campaign which they said was also being assisted by this effort by russia that all that was done unwittingly that no one participated in a knowing fashion. And joins us live from washington d. C. So whats the fallout from that chumps latest tweets on the. Well the general reaction from democrats and indeed some republicans is that the president is lashing out against the latest revelations both from congress and in the text of the the substance of the indictments particularly the fact that the indictment say that the the Information Warfare waged allegedly by Russian Hackers was intended to have Hillary Clinton defeated and in favor of donald trump he is not related he has not addressed that specific allegation that assertion in the indictments instead he is turned the conversation around or at least attempted to by saying that the real collusion and of course he says there is no collusion on the part of the Trump Campaign the real collusion it was on the part of Hillary Clinton and the democrats doesnt quite explain exactly how that would would work and beyond that he he seems to be undercutting for example his National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster who on saturday said that it was incontrovertibly that there had been russian interference in the election and that there is the danger of continuing interference in the in the in the Upcoming Elections the president tweeted today that he said what mcmaster forgot to mention and he didnt address that specific point what he forgot to mention was that there was proven no collusion by the Trump Campaign of course the indictments did not actually make any. Any conclusion as to whether there was any socalled collusion and even what the definition of collusion might mean tom eichmann thank you very much indeed. Meanwhile momentum is growing for more action on gun control following the Florida School shooting next week students have been urged to walk out of school in a nationwide protest and theres increasing anger to perceived lack of political will if you think about that from coming from continuing to occur was something. That i was down and was you know every politician who is taking donations on the ad are a shame are you. Trying to govern as the western director for keep guns off campus which campaigns for gun control legislation she joins me live now via skype from dallas texas thank you very much indeed for your time so its been noticeable that after this particular School Shooting theres been a very vocal outpouring from the some of the youngsters whove been directly affected by this shooting calling for greater gun control do you think that there is a a bit of a more momentum this time around than there has been in the past coming from the younger members of the public yes absolutely ive been barred in the Movement Since two thousand and eleven and this by far has been the most action that weve ever seen very refreshing to see well the young people getting involved and there are plans to organize a sort of walkout from schools how likely is that that that will be a big movement and and kind of well attended to think. Well right now from what i can understand there are actually multiple movements that are being planned from the response so far i expect that all of them will be wired tended. Its hard to organize something so quickly which is why i think so many of them really scheduled but you know even if one hundred people show up its a productive thing i mean in the past. I mean famously that they knew
