In central causes, the parts of joining us. We begin with all continuous breaking News Coverage from iran. Its been 11 hours since that helicopter carrying uranium present. Abram, right, you see hands is for administer, crushed in bad weather. Navy as a by jani board, and search and rescue teams is still trying to locate the aircraft and is passengers government ministers, the Vice President and the combined rons revolutionary god. Of how the crisis meeting has the search continues. Well, in a moment, well be hearing from our correspondents, im guess, following the story and all the reaction from around the world. The 1st x was on average reports on the search operation underway in northern iraq. So this may be the last known video of your bronze president abraham race. He attended, and you know gratian ceremony for to dance earlier on sunday, near the border with as there be john, along with that countries leader in seattle, this damn can provide very safe transit for goods for passengers and taurus, given how seriously the work is being carried out i think it will take less time than originally estimated, which was almost 3 years. Just hours later, an accident involving the president ial helicopter was reported to aircraft gerin, grace, and foreign minister, whos seen i made up the law. He on vanished while heading to the city of debris is in the northwest of ron. To helicopters from the convoy reportedly landed safely. But the 3rd carrying gracie crashed in bad weather. Rescue teams are searching the area, but heavy fog is entering. The rescue efforts doesnt alter only develop mosley. Some hopeful news that we have is about to were able to speak to 2 passengers on that headed club. So with the president and the stablish a connection with several of the shows that the level of difficulty was multiples of launch. Because 2 of the people on board kind of cop to were able to speak to us on multiple occasions. The supreme leader, ayatollah ali, coming a has expressed his concerns about the missing helicopter, but a short one, destabilize the country, and the moon tissue. Im lucky in genesis the, to our beloved compatriots, whether you sit here or listening from home, be sure that there will be no disruption to the States Affairs. From this evening, our officials continued to work with diligence. Everything, god willing will go as normal. The state security, the security of our borders and all other necessary tasks of our country. The status of those on board is still unknown. The story, these are calling on the rainiest to pray for the president. Access im of which out is there are, lets cross slide to now to wrestle. Sarah, who joins me from toronto and russell. I understand from comments made directly to how to 0, the, the search and rescue teams a honing in on a signal coming from the cross side. What more can you tell us . Indeed they have been uh, therell be some statements to us seeing that they havent received a signal from one of the phone in the had a carpenter. However, this or so saying that the rescue team still did not reach the had a cop there. So theyre also saying that the radius of the circle for asian as president t, brian, but hes, hes had a couple of cash side is now reduced to 2 kilometers. But just lets remember that they have been saying this seems hours that they are to kilometers close to close to the crash site. However, thats just not the scene that still, they could not manage to reach to the, to the crash. How they cropped her yet, that also the, one of the executives off the president s team must see massively. She said that right off the crash that would be in 2 phone calls made to a people on the helicopter. They have contacted some of the alternatives about due to this and they had to spread the connection to reconnection. They could not understand what was exactly happening on, on, on, on the ground. So we had to carpenters today in the morning after the integration of ceremony or for damage in it and at the the runny nose thatd be on the board or they took off. And one of them was a carry and present the behaviors that you see the for the minister officially and ended up to lie young. And also that the, the, the, the local government or east, as of a john province center, had to go up there safely, landed in the city office deputies. But that theyre, that theyre headed off to douglas kerry and the president , the, for the minister at the local governor. It has crashed in a close to a cool corporate mines cooled us on going, which is taking place between jewels and who has it guns roughly around 100 kilometers away from the city, off temporaries. Then right off the crash, there has been 2 st course that was the last communication, right. The thing to had to go up there on to teams on the ground, russell, the such a rescue is now behind on for many, many hours now. It began in sick fog in the day night is now very much drawing in please give us a sense of the challenges that search and rescue teams a a facing of the moment is they hone in on the crash side or indeed. So now they say that you run the risk of saying that more than 60 teams had been deployed to the area and it from different directions. They are approaching to the crash side. But it has been 11 an hour since the crash happened. So according to the uranium sources that the crash happened at 1 30 pm local time in iran. And now it is after midnight. So 11 hours after the crash and they say thats 3 hours after the crash, which means 8 hours. But i tried, it was a go the rest your patients have started, but youre talking about the in a stream of the challenging terrain and also it stream of the challenge in better terrible the weather conditions as well. So its a mountainous area. It is a good that so the forest and it is extremely been the now in the last 2 weeks we have seen several cloud version over them, the over the region. Now now this is the own fault, heavy dont falls as well, and doing sort of these are seeing that that does rain is now turning into the snow. So the visibility of the site is quite limited. Can all of this factors the terrain time the weather bad, the terrible weather conditions are hand putting the rescue for them . Now, it is night after midnight and they said that this weather conditions this, that weather conditions are going to continue frontier to modernize on. On monday night and so thats why the saying that they have never be they havent been able to reach to the site or because of the to, to reach that crashed had to come through yet. But as i said, the saying that now the radius is reduced to, to keep all monitors over there. Yeah, it sounds like di, conditions that the, the rescue team space at the moment, russell sorta into around. Thank you. All right, lets take a closer look at the runs aviation safety record, and that would be at least 20 to the same to crashes since 2000. And according to a rons aviation safety network, this is caleb holden, 1200 people writing and government officials and generals are among those who have died the play and carrying the sportsman just across across last year, getting one of his advises and back in 2006 and ministry jet crash killed a commander of the revolutionary god, who most of the blame has been pointed at us sanctions, which has made it difficult would put new aircraft or even spat pods. And thats force around to ground molding off of its civilian aircraft. Who during the hey, in the pseudo Research Areas are the hash him, hes coming around extensively for us. Uh no, no. And if youve covered the wrong, you both say you live that given the check, its a vacation history in the country. Do you think a crash of this kind comes as any great surprise to people while its not . Thats a great surprise, but this is the president thought anyone and him being on a helicopter thats decade sold and such weather conditions know, gives a kind of a picture of how things could be for people. Mean people of course, on a surprise, and we can see now from the streets of to ron, how you for on mobilize to ray to gold for the president , safety and everyone actually is, is yeah, probably consent. Youre making a 2nd point about the aircraft itself, decades old. Yeah, this is a, i think by the 214. And thats why its owned by the previous monarch shop around. So in the, like 19 seventys. And after the revolution, it wasnt inherited by this, not many public, then it was used by the ministry, then it was a transfer to the presidency to. And given the fact that its of the only one green, the actually in the run there is a, let me say there is a big problem with respect to operation and we solve the numbers. We just spoke about a, its a, its a, its a, its a nightmare. And not any one would want to. Some people would prefer the writing maybe taking a call for 12 hours from one place to another. Over taking that one hour and a half played a flight, for example, or maybe taking a train for me to have on too much side, which is like 10 hours overtaking a plane for a an hour. Because no one knows. I mean, how a trip is going to end, and this is mainly based on the idea that no spare parts. All the things the feet has a link. Most of the planes are very, very old. Of course, they try to renovate the rates. They try to manufacture that own iran made a spare parts, but its not working. The best is very much from the rainy leadership is we always do the and whatever happens, whatever the consequences of this crash, its not going to affect the stability of the state of iran. Do you think that they are intense of pacing, given the poor safety record, irrespective of sanctions of anticipating some criticism from the public when the results of this class come out . While in general, the written, regardless of whether anticipating the radians in general are very critical in reading and people in general. They have this Critical Thinking and critique goes, thoughts as to what the government to watch crime, but it is leading. Now i think what the lead is trying to say here is that there is a system in the country and this system is not going to be affected. Even if the president isnt there, talk regardless of the state on the president , but with, with the present or with the president , the system is going to continue on. Iran went through such a similar situation in the eightys on maybe within to within the yeah, between 19801981. 1980. The president , the 1st president of this dominic republic. What, how somebody saw that was last hacked by you, im khomeini and then they had to do another election, and then how much i was elected. And just after maybe few weeks of publish ios elected, who was the kid along with his Prime Minister and a huge explosion. And then they have to do another election. But so this is not the 1st time that the president is harmed up. There is a situation that on the present and later on of course, with the death of khomeini and the election of, i mean i am so far as a president. Also, that was the, wasnt the vacuum. And this is what come in. I started to say there will be no vacuum because that is a system and the system is, is the one who runs 0. How do you wash him . But he thinks okay, well lets uh, get him our bashaw. How does there a senior political analyst, he joins us from paris, low and clearly, a tremendous amount is riding on the results of what we will soon find out. What was the reasons for this crash . Im clearly the message very much from the top, from the supreme leader. How many days the people shouldnt be anxious, they shouldnt be wired. Theres nothing wrong with the state. What ever the situation we will essentially do with it, but its slightly different. Of course, this time, given how popular everywhere i see is the man to to be the next supreme leader. Oh, yeah, theres a lot of, uh, the interpretations issue. Well, and theres a lot of disagreements about that as well. But hes just and if, in part because you, for the past, for 2 years, hes an indispensable product for many years, most the judiciary. But in that sense, hes not exactly the most of the curves, magically. Theres a few when he sort of has the same concept of instincts of im and then i drive up to the doctor, bottom bass c or by the measure and hes not exactly likes by the force. In fact, uh, many of his detractors, you can find in the urban areas and im one of the lead, some better for us to meet some saw supports in the country. But he is the daughter of the conservative hardcore deception thats associated with thats right. Im having in the world, i like how many and with the division of the gods mix for you know, i feet for a faithful uh triangle uh, 41 and thats where the stability of the system is mostly maintained. And thats why goal. So whether there is a time, so there is that when i, there was already so it wasnt, i could be prosecute establishment to produce you ever use in regards new leaders. New 1st su 4 ministers i saw so far as has been proven to be so over the past 40 years. Now a lot of 2nd serve and for ranking officials in the region, there are more than capable of taking on that. Think about tracy, is that hes a non commodity and thats why he doesnt, but i sit and continue with just a bit of the issue. I guess. And while im behind the scenes, a lot of calculations being carried around out across the region, particularly from close regional allies. So all is a ron, im thinking of course of as well. Im thinking of, im also im thinking of of a proxy you say and you havent and im syria. Is this a reminder perhaps of how from child key relations are uh, between iran and other regional players, it will look, i mean, what happens over the past 34 decades is uh, those are the issues uh, improved or improved exactly. Uh, 4 way or more or less maintaining the same, but we didnt really see much of other drawers from the start issues. In other words, the one has continuously expand it. Its influenced by to expensive. Its our neighbors. Its like the service itself as original and it took a grant to join about an incident. Its very important to underlined that because its not just sort of a brilliance or up or creativity of the receipt. But he was also very lucky over the past for, for decades. Ive spoken to you earlier part, why did the admin fee and its, its the ability and why it has, if theres an input, once again, it has been lucky. With the one hand, it was a mark and destruction of the key rock, which is sort of the ones for most nemesis that out a long to expand further is rose expansionist general side, the policies in palestine and beyond, including this invasion of them and on. Also gave the one, fortunately its expensive tools that count dilution in the world over the past. Those in years give huge competing uh for the lawn to expand since the last to me im into syria and elsewhere in the region to so on an all american hip hop proceed in double standards where standard parker see is really dry oxygen. So in that question, i have inputs and some of i gave you the wrong possibility, the capacity to expand it. So source and the reason to do the Nuclear Program and expand this relationship was much on china garza so thats 3 gardeners all duration domestically, the poor economy and the solid black thatd be especially at one of each right mall on many sites is always mama shaw with the in paris well, reactions to they had a cup, the crash report again from countries in the middle east and across the world. Saudi arabia has expressed deep concern and has offered iran any assistance that needs you are paying commission has says it said it science of facing a satellite Mapping Service to aid the search for present, right. You see across us, following a request from iran, russias foreign ministry, it says it is ready to extend the necessary help that the wrong requires and to aid it in an investigation of the reasons behind the crash and the spokes peasant for the us president has said that joe biden has been briefed on the situation. On that last point heidi jad castro is following developments from washington d. C. She joins us live. Heidi, somewhat muted respond to some of us as needed and restrained as how i would describe it needs. Because as you said, we have a statement from bite and spokeswoman saying that he has been brief, but there were no other details given. He is on a busy campaign day on the schedule. From the Us State Department were told that officials are closely following the reports of this crash. Now there has been no effort to speculate from us officials or, or add on any comment to this. Obviously the us and iran have not had directed diplomatic relations since 1979. And any sort of information sharing would happen through an intermediary. So we would expect the delay and that information being communicated. I and, and you know, this is something thats happening in a very contentious time and us iran and way of relations. It was just last week that officials from both countries. Net 3 intermediaries in oman to discuss containment of the israel gauze, a war. Then of course, there are the us sanctions that iran says is crippled, its economy. And of course, the outstanding Iran Nuclear Deal thats been fits and starts in trying to restart. Negotiation have now appearing to fall off the table. So given all of that vol, a tile context and these pressing issues, us officials are again using restraint and not commenting further on this until there is more information about present rise, these fate. Okay, heidi j. Castro. We live in washington dc. Many things as close to london now and to really mock suits for him. Developments from the british capital jones as life and evelyn. And so a long standing friction, of course, between iran and the u. K. But you were paying commission saying its prepared to step in and help you run. Yeah. And the, the, the u. K. Not commenting asshole so far. The dining street or the foreign office, the British Foreign ministry. Weve reached out to for common, nothing publicly from them. So far, the european commission, which is the executive branch of the european union, they have a number of commissions, with different specialties. The individual focused on Crisis Management that has treated about 4 as i go there is the request from or on for emergency satellite mapping. They have a system called copernicus, but essentially allows them to monitor in real time changes to what the satellite imagery can see on the surface. And they say that using that to try and help identify that location, all the heavy cop to crash. That is really the or any Public Statement weve had from any european official lives, the cost of the last few hours, the rights and mondays, thanks to the update, the monks there in london. Okay, yeah, lets take a closer look at some of the Global Reaction to these events. Treat a p
