it's the political debate, so that's challenging the way you think is a military man. so i'm going to stop the fan that took it. i was on the other company who's united to now people out there that are very upfront with me. welcome on who on al jazeera. ah so we've said, we'll meet at any time in any place. they're the ones who are not prepared to do it . the us envoy on iran tells al jazeera tech, ron isn't ready for direct nuclear tools. ah, i money insight, this is out there, ally from also coming up the u. s. president, an office, his support to ukraine's leader during a phone call while russian says it's not to blame. the military buildup on the border. at a 52 people have been killed,

often overcrowded truck carrying more than a 100 migrants crashes in southern mexico and taiwan loses a long time diplomatic ally, nicaragua says it will now recognize only china. ah, we begin with the iran nuclear talks in vienna. as negotiations get on the way the the bite and the administration is wanting to her on of new sanctions. if diplomacy fails, the u. s. envoy for iran says washington is even ready to hold direct discussions with hebron over it's nuclear activity robot molly spoke with our white house correspondent kennedy hall kit before leaving for the austrian capital. she started by asking him why the u. s. is still moving to tightened sanctions as the talks are ongoing. is it helpful to be pushing for that as you're trying to get a deal, we're prepared to get back into the deal as soon as possible as soon as her on it

and we would lift all of the sanctions are inconsistent with adjusted to it. but in the meantime, we can stand by and not be prepared for world in which iran may be choosing to delay build its program, try to build more leverage, we honestly have to respond. and so that's what we're doing. we're preparing ourselves for that, that outcome. how concerned are you or how concerned is the united states that israel could potentially drag the united states into an armed conflict with iran? we are privileging the path of diplomacy. we think it's the best way. it's best for us. we suspect it's best we're wrong, but iran will have to decide that as president biden secretary, blinking has both said, if iran chooses regard despite our diplomatic offer to take a different path, then we'll have to use the, the tools at our disposal to make sure that around does not acquire a nuclear with why should iran trust the united states? so given the fact that it knows full well that 2020 for presidential election could

bring another president completely and do any of the efforts you're making right now. this is not a deal that is based on trust, and so it's not, we don't trust renters, don't trust us. and what happened when the u. s. withdrew from the deal, is that around started wrapping up its nuclear program. that's why president biden is back and has given us the mandate to try to get back into the deal and he would not be extending this political capital. i'm making this effort if his goal was to come in and then withdraw. of course, we don't know what the future president will do. we don't know what the future reigning leadership will do, but we think that it's in our mutual interest to get back in to deal with the united states. be willing, at any point to meet face to face with a run in negotiators. we're prepared to meet with them face to face. we think it's far superior to indirect negotiations and we're dealing with something this complex with so much so much mistrust with so my potential for misunderstanding. so we've said we'll meet at any time in any place. they are the ones who are not prepared to

do it for their own reasons. we think it's a mistake. we think it's a mistake that hurts both of us. we know that these talks are not open ended. the united states has made that clear. what's the timeframe we're looking for? as i've said before, this is a technological clock. it's not a chronological clock. in other words, if they slow down the nuclear program would have more time if they continue, the current pace than time is running out. secretary lincoln has made that clear over and over again. time is running out and we and the europeans will have to conclude if, if a run continues down this path, they have killed adjacent to a, an adjacent way would be no more. we hope that's not the case. we are fully committed to a mutual return to compliance with jesse 3. we think there's still time to do it. if iran comes back and says they prepared to roll up their sleeves and do it to around top negotiator says to her on is serious about reaching a nuclear agreement, but isn't backing down from its demand. negotiations between iran and world pounds resumed in vienna on thursday. you official sharing the talk says all sides have

shown a renewed sense of purpose to revive the 2015 deal. although last week around was accused of not taking the talk seriously. what both this morning was for the whole delegation of only the ring in one of the locations. very new sense of purpose come the need to was come to reach an agreement from being in the spirit back to life. this is, this is my, my information from, from this morning. it's difficult, it's very difficult. and devil is that are still different positions that we have to marie. this is the gist of the negotiation. and we will see how we can, how we can proceed. that's how we kind of funds. dorsey jabari has more from vienna . they sent him and several shared by the reigning deputy foreign minister ali baba connie who was leading the arabian delegation, was the same as that of the e u. a foreign policy chief that we just heard from. connie said that her,

the rainy's are very serious and they're here for results. and that is exactly what they hoped to achieve in the coming days. the joint commission met earlier on thursday and then they ran off to smaller working groups to discuss the details of what iran has proposed to the world powers. the rainy's put forth 2 proposals last week where they said one deals with how the united states will lift those sanctions that they impose, since they left a nuclear deal in 2018. and the 2nd proposal deals with the arena nuclear program and how iran will go back into compliance. see when is of set, that will only happen when they can verify that all the sanctions that the u. s. is imposed or lifted in terms of what the international atomic energy agency has to do with all of this. they are the watchdog that polices the j. c. p. away the nuclear deal of 2015. and the head of that organization has said that there has been serious issues with iran's compliance over the past few months. and that they are very concerned that they no longer have the access that they want to have when it

comes to policing iran's nuclear program. for now, the groups here that are discussing how to move forward are hopeful. they can come to some kind of an agreement in the next few days and on how to move forward with these negotiations. you as president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sovereignty in a phone call with its liter. it's a show of support against the build up of russian troops along ukraine's border. however, moscow has denied its preparing to invade its neighbour, bought and held a similar cool with the russian president vladimir putin earlier this week and warned of severe economic sanctions if he attacked by its sides accusing each other, failing to engage in the peace process. but he, by dish gifts that i am not with the support of nato countries. ukraine is being pumped full of whitman's and keith is building up its contingent on the line of contact and don bass. the number of sci fi violations which have happened since it was signed in july 2020 is coming close 290000. the spatial monitoring mission to

ukraine has registered the re deployment of heavy weapons, including high caliber artillery and armored vehicles to the east of the country with all that account spin disputed by the white house. it places the blame squarely on russia. the russians are known for their rhetorical escalations as they are also known for their own ways of providing misinformation around the world and within eastern flank countries. so i think we have to take their own efforts to communicate to their public with a grain of salt. what we know is that, oh, the aggression here is on the russian side. the military buildup is on the russian side. there is a path, a diplomatic path forward. oh, the part of the president's object of our president's objective and having the call was to convey that clearly that certainly is our preference. but also to convey clearly that there would be consequences. they would be significant and severe and we're going to coordinate with our european partners on that. tall stratford has

moved from southern ukraine. well, presidents and in gay's office has put out some statements about the contents of that conversation. i'll read out some of the salient points to you that being said, according to lindsey's office, during that conversation, that was said that the u. s. has decided to become an active participant in the settlement process in dawn by us in parallel with the normandy format. now this is interesting because normally for math that is made up of france, germany, russia, and ukraine has by all accounts, according to most analysts been and l. tracy failure since it was initiated 7 years ago. so, and a lot of analysts have been trying to, trying to, to, to, to, to force the point that is absolutely vital to get the us a bigger role in, in trying to forge a lasting piece piece process and, and settlement to this conflict. so that's very interesting that there seems to be

certainly some sort of agreement that there will be an increase role for the us in this office. also saying that the decision on ukraine's sanctions and nato depends on the decision of ukraine and nato members. that's what biden said in that conversation was zalinski. obviously, this may not go down very well. it's whole with moscow. we know that obviously, nato nato membership for ukraine is one of the main big red lines for moscow. the white l saying that biden's supports the aspiration of ukraine to be a nato member and says that the aggression is on russia's side regarding ukraine. it's going to be very interesting to see what kind of response comes from moscow in the coming hours and days. at least 52 people have been killed

often of the crowded trunk carrying more than a 100 migraines crashed in southern mexico. more than 55 others were injured in the smash in chapel state. the passengers which included children were from central america. and we're heading to the us. let's bring in manuel republicans and mexico . 50 for us. manuel took with sir exactly what happened and what's the latest we've been speaking to sources on the ground in the state of us who have been giving us more information, more details about this terrific accident in the southern part of mexico. we know that the best tool, since our last broadcasts has been brought up to at least 53 people. this is an accident that took place just outside of the city of duke's law, which is in this, in the southern state of us about 300 miles north of mexico's border with guatemala, an accident that took place after a large truck that was carrying a, a shipping container reportedly filled with more than 100 people fell over onto its

side. of course, the images that we've seen. those 1st images that we saw on social media were quite graphic. the pictures are very dramatic. you can see rescue workers pulling bodies out of the scene. it's believed that all if that most, if not all of the victims in this case, we know at least 53 people have, have died are believed to be central american migrants authorities. they're outside of 2 class saying that they are seen. many people from honduras reported the people also from guatemala. we saw tweets from both mexican president and that is when we look over the lord and president gemini, of guatemala, offering their sympathies, their condolences to the families of the victims of this hor, horrible crash in southern mexico. another detail that we're seeing is a possibly this truck may have been traveling from guatemala, carrying these migrants crammed into the back of that truck. so of course many here seeing this, possibly as being symptomatic of the larger migrant crisis that continues to play

out in southern mexico and crushes like this common has this happened before unfortunately, of accidents like these. perhaps not with such a horrifying death. told 53 people accidents like these are not on common. what we're hearing from many immigration observers, folks that are paying very, very close attention to changing immigration policy years here in mexico. they're pointing or placing the blame specifically on this bilateral policy that exists between mexico and the united states. that's turned southern mexico into sort of invisible wall of the united states. it's a policy of containment that prevents migrants from moving north toward the united states and in turn has created a sort of bottleneck effect for thousands of migrants. are now living in these overcrowded conditions in often unsanitary conditions. and what we're told from sources on the ground, immigration experts, folks at the, at the micro shelters themselves, is that when folks get desperate to leave because they're spending 3 to 6 months

unable to continue that journey north through the united states. would they take to the road where they are faced with many, many risks, the face of the risk of being kidnapped, the face, the risk of extortion. and of course, the risk to deadly accidents like the one that we saw play out on thursday afternoon. and thanks for that update manual report there for us in mexico city. still ahead on al jazeera, how counter is partnering with countries across africa to provide education to thousands of children left out of school. and e zealand plan to bottom out, making the good with a lifetime ban the teenagers. ah, with hey, there,

we're gonna kick this weather report off in the americas, another batch of what weather. moving in to western canada. we break it down now by the numbers. 40 to 80 millimeters of rain for the lower mainland head up the sea to sky highway and will look to pick up 15 to 25 centimeters of snow off to the east right now we were dealing with that snow storm that raced up through the atlantic those blustery winds pull away from newfoundland, toppa wind speeds were predicting about a 130 kilometers per hour. we do have bursts of rain to be expected toward the southeast. we're looking toward georgia, also areas of nashville, so got to be on the lookout for some flash flooding here. the civic showers roland across areas of california, pivoting into arizona, temperatures in denver have dropped off to just a high of 2 degrees on friday. central america, not a lot going on. a few showers costa rican panama. nothing major, but we'll, where we will likely see a, some severe thunderstorms is just toward the east of real diginero on friday. if i

take it further toward the south, things are starting to bounce back in terms of those temperatures in patagonia come of the road reba davia has a high of 23 degrees and some instability. move it in to the river plate region on friday, sir. ah, the corona virus pandemic has altered modern society as governments have grappled with soaring cases contact tracing, and a huge data collections are causing concern amongst civil rights activists. people in power investigates the ever increasing powers of governments and businesses as they access peoples most personal data and asked what is being done to regulate the flow of sensitive information under the cover of cove it on a j 0 ah

ah, welcome back. you watching out 0 mind on top stories this hour. the u. s. envoy for iran says his negotiate is already to hold. downright talks with iran, the white house is morning. sanctions remain in place and the u. s. is preparing additional meshes. if the talks in vienna failed to reach an agreement, you as president j botton has held a phone call with his ukrainian counterpart in a show of support. the build up of russian troops along its buddha, moscow's denied is preparing to invade its neighbour. both countries, the keys each although failing to engage in the peace process. emergency services in mexico say at least 50 t migrants have been killed in a truck crash that some of the state of chiapas authority say most of the victims

when migrants from doris that he others went into it. nicaragua, the government has said its breaking its longstanding diplomatic ties with taiwan. the government said in a statement, it recognizes the communist parties, one china policy, taiwan express pain, an regret at the decision. only 14 countries in the world now recognize taiwan as a country that speak to brian hugh, he is the founder of the new blue magazine and he is a writer for the diplomats. he joins us from time. pay money. thanks for speaking to us in the program. why do you think nicaragua has moved now? so the timing is quite interesting because of the summit for democracy. those can be in by the, by the ministration town and invited despite not being a member of the us. so this is a sign of the us strength of amendments towards ty, walk over. china has reacted quite angrily to that it is not invited. and so this is included hang data at the us. thing of this show that it is not actually final

anything significant, but the same time when you see this with nicaragua, breaking relationships i want at this time it, it does seem rather suspicious. this does leave taiwan with only 14 formal diplomatic ties. how words do you think they are about that? so what is interesting, i think, is how this will play out domestically in that the approach i know opposition, the came t will use us to attack the ruling tide ministration. and so the diplomatic allies that power on has are smaller than it in terms of the size of its population or economy. they're probably a role is to speak up or taiwan in international relations from which it is excluded. and if occurred with nicaragua as recently as september, so it does somewhat of a surprise that there is the switch now over in terms of the substantive impact, it does not have a lot of impact on taiwan directly in that way. what do you think is china's end game here? and more importantly, do you think they could actually achieve it?

so i think china would like to see how long have fewer and fewer for allies. and in this way, is a way to diplomatically humiliate taiwan on the world stage that time in which there is increasing support from taiwan internationally, whether that be from the us, from european unit countries or cetera. and so this is a way to work against the trent. and so this is a way to attack the administration that is currently in our potentially affect elections. because sometimes tony is do perceive the stinking of international space when they do lose diplomatic allies over, in most cases, how on unofficial ties with other countries such as what the us food does not actually have formulation. the taiwan are more important than the different allies who do not actually do much except the speak up for taiwan once in awhile and these are josh or they should. but i think china will try to continue with an activity. yeah, i guess that was my question. i mean, how far are these western countries or the u. s. specifically willing to go to protect china, protect taiwan from china?

so this question here, and it is frequently debated for example, well the button is ation retaining current policy of the strategic ambiguity of what it would do in the case of a chinese nation or will louis a push towards what is termed strategic clarity. and so this is something that is, i think debated among experts among policymakers, some republican lawmakers that are more hawkish on the issue of china have called for opposition, closer to is repeated parity. but the bottom iteration, sometimes it has made comments that they've just commitment to defend taiwan or some port fraternities, independence and walk this back. these are gaps by biting himself. there has not been a shift in u. s. policy officially, but i think this will always stokes population. her interesting to get your thoughts, brian hugh, the founder of new bloom magazine and a writer for the diplomat, speaking to a staff from ty, pay us president joe biden is warning global freedom and democracy is on the threat. he's hosting a virtual meeting more than a 100 well leaders. calling it a summit for democracy,

china and russia when they to be absent from the guest list. both countries have denounced to me to accusing the us of stoughton divisions. in my view, this is the defining challenge of our time democracy. government of the people by the people for the people can of time be fragile, but also is inherently resilient, is capable of self correction and is capable of self improvement. and yes, democracy's hard, we all know that it works best with consensus and cooperation. busy several countries are expanding these to vaccine programs to contain the coven 19 various infections. this, as the world health organization continues to oppose the move, the w h ho says only people with compromised immune systems should be targeted for a short says, the priority should be to get everyone in the world vaccinated. emerging data suggest vaccine efficacy declines off to some time,

especially amongst all the people. for the time being, we continue to support one, the need for equity into distribution, our location of exchange, and toward the use of 3rd doses, only on those that we have previously recommended. those that have received, inactivate the vaccines, and those that are immunocompromised, which are the 2 groups that we feel should be protected further by a 3rd dose of the primary process. well, there's also a warning from the w h o that concerns over the only course, very could lead to more hoarding of vaccines. more than half of all people in the world have now received at least one dose. but that drops to just over 6 and every 100 people in low income countries. since february, the vaccine sharing alliance, kofax has shipped 610000000 doses to 144 nations or territories. but the goal with

2000000000 the programs sped up in the past few months, thanks to donations from wealthy countries and eas, on exports from india. but if richer nations, prioritizing the doses, there are fears that this could slow. again, there's no supply issue. the w h o says one and a half 1000000000 days is all produced every month. the issue is with allocation. the global health chief says 6 times as many boost as a given out in rich countries every day than 1st salts in low income countries. as we head into whatever the on the current situation is going to be, there is risk that the global supply is, again, going to revert to high income countries hoarding vaccine to protect, you know, to protect in, in, in a sense, in excess there opportunity for, for vaccination and, and sort of no regrets kind of approach. all 3 has outlined

a plan to make right of our vaccines, compulsory. it applies to people 14 and above those who refuse to get the job will be fined about $4000.00. also, it has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western europe. at least 14 people have been killed in volcano faufau during an ambush on the convoy the government officials say it happened in the hang of province in the north. they've killed were believed to be part of a government backed civilian power military group and comes a day off to the government resigned on the public pressure over its failure to tackle violence in the region. we're getting an education is something many takes for granted, but it is out of reach for millions of people around the world. that's why for countries in africa have partnered with a foundation in castle to provide primary education to hundreds of thousands of the most marginalized children. victoria gates and b has more on the story.

zanzibar minister of education science pledge in the katara, capital, doha, that has the potential to change the lives of tens of thousands of vulnerable children by ensuring that all enrolled in full time primary education in the semi autonomous region of tanza, near some of his kids go they come from poor families, but if they can make a difference to the lives they might become political leaders, social leaders, or entrepreneurs in the society in the future. and i think that is where we need to understand that for these kids robinson bechtel school. this will be denied the primary and secondary education. rwanda, the gambia, angie, beauty, or say, partnering with catalyst education above all foundation to fund and support projects that will focus on the hardest to reach out of school children. including those who work in homes, disabled people, and refugees. we have 4 countries committing to go that very last

mile to get those last few children back into some kind of quality education. why is that important? it's important for those children. it's important for those countries. but as equally as important to have some beacons to say, this can be done, the un says school age, children are supposed to spend 200 days in the classroom every year. but last year, 59000000 didn't spend a single day at primary school. so how will this initiative help? well, in the gambia, 65000 children will get to go to school. in rwanda, it will target 67000 out of school kids that 3 percent of its primary age population. in debussy, it will help 35000 children get an education and officials hope it will do the same . and zanzibar with a $6000000.00 project, the announcements made here in dough hall. com. as education above all celebrates,

reaching its initial goal of getting 10000000 of the most marginalized children into school. but it says its focus now is on identifying and enrolling what's it called? the invisible children. the ones who have sofa proved hard to reach victoria gates and be al jazeera, doha. farmers in india have officially ended a year long protest after the government abandoned controversial agricultural reforms protested, blockaded the capital since november of last year of plans with table to deregulate the market. the government has now made several concessions that guarantees form as a minimum price for that project. criminal charges against purchases will also be dropped when he zealand government has announced one of the wells toughest anti smoking laws. implants are effectively ban smoking by progressively raising the legal age for buying tobacco products. the level of nicotine cigarettes on sale will also be reduce and always set to come into effect in 2027 critic say the law

could be the black market for tobacco. dr. chaverra, as new zealand associate health minister, she says very being isn't included, because it's considered a safe alternative to cigarettes. there is very strong evidence that tobacco is an extremely harmful and addictive substance, and yet the evidence will have from bytes is fairly bad. definitely a cipher old finished. so we're taking a reduction approach by banning to that price will future generation. but making sure the current market to quit. there are $4000.00 new zealanders die each year from tobacco and we might take action on it. what made a lot of progress, the cause of that regulation, reseating with allowing right to quit. so we made the biggest decrease we had in history in watching, right? the last year alone. so we think that what freak out is within reach

a european population as is seek to make it as i reach that goal. as we need to take bold action to make sure all parts of the community get there. and because we're not prepared to lay past the community behind, ah, is algebra, these you're told stories. the us and boy for wrong says he's negotiate is ready to hold direct talks with iran. the white house is wanting functions remain in place on the us preparing additional measures. if the talk in vienna failed to reach an agreement. meanwhile, the official sharing the talk between iran and will power says all sides have shown a renewed sense of purpose to revive the 2015 deal. what both this morning was for imposing negations of only the ring in one.
