everyone. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here and i just we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. i'm sending a clear message to the world america is back u.s. president joe biden announces a return to multilateralism at his 1st appearance at a global summit. hello i'm adrian forgive this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up biden says he's willing to rejoin the iran nuclear talks with europe but wants to address what he called tehran's destabilizing activities across the middle east. will have

an exclusive report from the epicenter of a new abode outbreak in guinea as the world health organization calls for drastic action. and a mission to the red planet after 7 months journey masses rover gets to work looking for signs of ancient life on. america is back president joe biden has told u.s. allies across the atlantic but washington. done with going it all alone and will return to multilateral solutions to solve problems he reaffirmed his commitment to nato article 5 which states that an attack on one member is an attack on or a message to allies and adversaries i think about push back against what he called china's economic abuses and said that russia is actively attacking democracies. i

know the past few years of strain and test it are transatlantic relationship but the united states is determined determined to reengage with europe to consult with you earn back our position of trust and leadership achieving his these goals is going to depend on a course to t.-g. proposition and that is the united states must renew america's enduring advantages so that we can meet today's challenges from a position of strength that spread out diplomatic at a james pace who is at the united nations so james president biden says america is back the transatlantic alliance is back what do you make of it. yeah when he last addressed the munich security conference when he was no longer vice president when president trump was president he said america will be back and he started speech saying i've kept my promise and he ended the speech with america

and back again it was the main theme of the speech a theme of global cooperation and also of the u.s. standing by europe's side interesting now i mean executed conferences we're hearing the other speakers emmanuel mccraw the french president has just said that europe sometimes needs to be aware it needs to act on its own without the u.s. making it clear that the u.s. that the u.s. in the future may have other priorities in other parts of the world different from the priorities it's had for the last 75 years since world war 2 interesting to hear president biden talk about the challenges he faces from other nations particularly from china and russia and there was a difference there was quite clear he said that there was a long term strategic competition with china he said he was clear eyed he accepted that he said it would be stiff competition but he welcomed it much tougher when it

comes to russia where he accused russia of attacking our democracies and weaponize in corruption saying that president putin he didn't even use the president he called imputing seeks to divide the transatlantic alliance the nato countries europe and the u.s. but he was clear when he spoke about both china and russia that this new biden administration is going to stand up to them but also on key issues like covert 19 and the climate crisis work together with them to. our diplomatic editor james pace live in new york james many thanks indeed well president biden during that speech touched upon iran at the munich conference early it emerged that he's willing to reengage with a kaviak that iran must stop what he called destabilizing activities earlier by the ministration accepted an invitation from the e.u.

to sit down with iran and other signature is the deal to try to save it the trumpet ministration withdrew from the deal in 2018 it re imposed sanctions triggering escalation escalating tension between washington and tehran iran retaliated by ramping up its nuclear program in violation of what was agreed to the country's supreme leader says the deal can only be struck if the u.s. removes the sanctions that it's imposed let's go live to teheran al-jazeera d'orsel jabari is there for us so the u.s. has said that that the east in principle that's willing to sit down with the other signatories to the nuclear deal for this informal meeting with the invitations have been sent for and yet we don't know when it's going to happen. what's the reaction to that from tehran. well it's not likely to go down very well here we've already heard the position that is iran is not willing to renegotiate any terms of

this nuclear agreement of 2015 that is known as the way they rein in foreign ministers of azari fist treated over the past 24 hours saying that the united states has to commit act and then they will meet this is the process they see unfolding in the coming days and weeks if there is to be any meeting between the 2 sides the rains have set of february 23rd deadline that is to say for them to leave the national protocol of the nonproliferation treaty which they were voluntarily abiding by and that is one of their main concern for the international community right now that means that iran will no longer allow. inspectors to visit it's the cleared nuclear sites unexpectedly or without advance notice there is a lot of concern that this will provide more cover for the iranian nuclear program part of the nuclear deal of 2015 the aim was to have more transparency between iran and the international community when it came to its nuclear activities but the rain

is of sets because the u.s. of left the there is really no point for us to abide by all the different components of this nuclear deal because we haven't seen any of the benefits not only that we've had additional sanctions imposed on us so the position now is that this speech by president biden falls very short than what it was expected here and is not likely to go down very well it's likely to further entrench the position that they radians have taken up to this point and they will go ahead most likely with taking the next step that is limiting access to the i.a.e.a. inspectors in the country or so many thanks to dosage of our of their lives in turkey early. is a senior policy fellow deputy head of the middle east north africa program at the european council on foreign relations she joins us now live from london via skype what are your thoughts on this study. well look there's been a few larrie of. activity over the last couple of days on this issue as we near

the deadline that iran has set for reducing its compliance with international inspectors particularly yesterday we had the 1st joint statement from the european powers who are party to the nuclear deal plus the united states on that meet their agreement something that hasn't happened yet is given to us withdrew from to steal setting out a common position from the transatlantic allies that they will look to engage in some sort of a diplomatic effort that that could be coordinated by the european union that's a positive disagreement to bring your honor and the united states together to start what is an inept. and inevitable process for getting to getting to the end point which is a synchronized and mutually trying to the because it's very unlikely that we are

going to get iran or the united states getting what they set out of that's not the same which is that the other part. what the what do you make of what our correspondent is just saying a few moments ago about about iran's negativity if you like and that the u.s. having said that it is it makes willing to sit down for informal talks. well i think that the position from iran at the moment is yes there is a new president in the white house but for the past month iran has been under the maximum pressure campaign that president strong force and there has been 0 change in the less policy as wrong so i think really to get that diplomatic engine go wait we do need more than the symbolic steps that we saw from the united states in the last 24 hours in terms of signaling to iran we need to really see the united states where on offer at least some sort of late economic relief efforts to iran perhaps

the humanitarian space even president by a good marriage will help local and she's around the world find that 90 and there are many ideas out there about puppets. but what iran has said consistently is that it's not looking forward but i'm looking for action from the u.s. to signal that seriousness and good faith about it diplomatic her says your vibe this evening that i think that we think that not one likes that once we get the 2 parties into some sort of a. row sets to have technical faults funny how they can come back into the full compliance of the deal anybody thanks david live in london. executive vice president of the currency institute he believes that iran would welcome the us rejoining the agreement. i don't suspect that it is sufficient however there is much more needed in most of the steps of the heart are more on the symbolic side of the subsets but signaling in heads is very very important the

iranians never left of the of the us that the the iranians use a paragraph in the paragraph 36 that allows them to reduce their obligations if other parties to the deal have left or if they have reduced their out of the us completely quit the yarn that actually sanctioned countries that were trying to abide by the iranians in response after a full year reduce some of their obligations that's not a good thing but it's fundamentally different from actually having left so i think the iranians very much like to see the united states come back into the deal and i think getting them to start talking directly to each other is a critical step that can happen now if the u.s. that and then the iranians come to this the 5 plus one meeting but it is not sufficient sense of making sure that we get back on track on the type of diplomacy that brought us the g.c. in the 1st place for that to happen these measures that the u.s.

to that are in violation of the nuclear agreement need to you know if that and i'm certain that the station has the intent of doing so what we have to figure out is that mix and the choreography of the. the weather acts here on al-jazeera then the 1st protest to be killed in myanmar becomes a symbol of resistance demonstrations against the military continue to produce. chaos in the capital of somalia shots of 5 during a protest demanding the president steps down. it's time for the perfect gentlemen. sponsored point qatar airways however you want places sites turning decidedly spring like across much of japan as
