well, bring you the very best of it. they're trying to frighten the people to leave it to go somewhere else. but the truth is that they've got nowhere else to go. so if you missed it online, catch up here with me. sandra gartman on al jazeera holding the powerful to account. as we examined the u. s. his role in the world on al jazeera ah all. 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 us and void all iran towns al jazeera, teheran isn't ready. a for direct nuclear tools. ah, i money inside, this is out there, alive from doe. so coming up the u. s. president offices support ukraine's leader

during a phone call while russian says it's not to blame for the military build up on the border. and he's 53 people, have been killed, often overcrowded trunk, carrying more than a 100 migrants crashes in southern mexico. and taiwan leaves is a diplomatic outline. nicaragua says it will now recognise only china ah, we begin with the iran nuclear talks in vienna. as negotiations get underway that the biden administration is warning to the wrong of new sanctions. if diplomacy fails, for us envoy for iran says washington is even ready to hold direct discussions with her on over the nuclear activity. well, but molly spoke with whitehouse correspond, kimberly whole kit for leaving for the austrian capital. she started by asking him

why the u. s. is still moving to tighten sanctions as the talks are ongoing. is it helpful to be pushing for that as you're trying to get a deal, we are 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. 1 have to respond and so that's what we're doing. we're preparing ourselves for that 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 is secretary blinking. have 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 iran 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 could completely undo 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 ratings, don't trust us. and what happens when the us withdrew from the deal is that iran 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 the political capital 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 look so much mistrust with so much 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 play 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're prepared to roll up their sleeves and do it to iran, top negotiator says temper on is serious about reaching a nuclear agreement,

but isn't backing down from its demands. negotiations between iran and well pounds resumed in vienna on thursday. the official sharing the talk says all sides have shown a renewed sense of purpose to revive the 2015 deal. although last week iran was accused of not taking 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 work on to reach an agreement from being in the just to be back to life. this is, this is my, my information from, from this morning. it's difficult, it's a very difficult endeavor, but are still in different positions that we have to marie, this is the gist of the negotiation and we will see how we can so we can present. that's how we kind of funds. dawson jabari has more of the story from vienna. they

sent him and several shared by the reigning deputy foreign minister, ali baba re, connie who was leading. the iranian delegation was the same as that of the e u. r. foreign policy chief that we just heard from a connie said that had the rainy's are very serious and they're here for results. and that is exactly what they hope 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 rain has 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 you have said that will only happen when he can verify that all the sanctions that the u. s. is impulse 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 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 bought in, has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sovereignty, and a fine cool with its leader is a show of support against the build up of russian troops along ukraine's border. however, moscow denies its preparing to invade its neighbour bought and held a similar cool with russian president vladimir putin alley of this week and warned of severe economic sanctions if he attacked by science accusing each other, failing to engage in the peace process. but he, by dish guess that i am not with the support of nato countries. ukraine is being

pumped full of whitman's and keith is building up. it's 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 you if you will. that accounts been disputed, why the white house and 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 won the story from cason in southern ukraine. well, presidents and hence 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 matt, that is made up of france, germany, russia, and ukraine has by all accounts, according to most stanley's been and all that 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 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 house saying that biden 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 33 people have been killed. often overcrowded trunk carrying more than a 100 migrants crashed in southern mexico. more than 55 others were injured in the smash in champa state. most of the passengers, which included children were from central america. and we're heading to the us and you were paula has been following developments from mexico city. unfortunately, accidents like these. perhaps not with such a horrifying death toll 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 policies. here in mexico. they're pointing or placing the blame specifically on this bilateral policy that exist between mexico and the united states. that's turned southern mexico and the sort of

invisible wall of the united states. it's a policy of containment that prevents migrants from moving north towards 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 expert, 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, 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. still ahead on al jazeera, a fuss for a latin american country. the wells talk. criminal court is investigating ben is when his gun that will tell you why museums plan to bath town smoking to get

ah some fog and miss to start the day around the golf. hello, everyone. good to see you. so that's gonna be the situation in q 8 and also doha on friday, and then for saudi arabia, we're going to see more clouds float in. so for example, riyadh, we look at the next 3 days. i think it's going to be fairly overcast on friday. the temperature pretty well where it should be during the day, but look at night time, you should be 11 degrees. we got your pencil then for about 6 to 7 or we'll chill in the air there. same goes for pakistan. that cooler air filtering in toward the hor, $22.00 degrees and i've gone it's don cobble coming in at 11 off to turkey. we've got some storms happen over the aegean into western turkey. pretty much stretching from is stumble right into on talia and it was just a few days ago. got some soaking rains in antalya. so more to come all about the

heat for central africa jew but $39.00 bungie $36.00. but if you go bit further towards his south, i've got to point this out. lusaka 36 degrees. that's a new record and you're going to lock your temperature in there for the next few days. the record is $34.00 and you should be at $28.00 degrees. and we do have a lot of act of whether you've got to talk about, especially for eastern portions of south africa. so sundry downpours in the cards for the next few days. that sure weather update soon. ah, still be on the comfort zone for assumptions or challenge. travel the ends of the earth on further experience, the unimaginable of the people who live it is a probably the most extreme situation are being involved in quickly things contract award winning documentary, but also a perception witness on

a just the euro. lou ah, welcome back to watching out. is there a reminder of our top story? is this our the u. s. and boy for ron, says his negotiate is all ready to hold direct talks with iran. the white house is warning sanctions remain in place and the u. s is preparing additional measures. if the talks in vienna failed to reach an agreement, us president joe biden has held a phone call with his ukrainian counterparts and sheriffs court of the build up of russian troops on its border. moscow denies its preparing to invade its neighbour.

countries accused each other, failing to engage in the peace versus emergency services. in mexico, say at least 53 migrants killed in a truck crash. southern states of champus authority say most of the victims were migrants from central america. $55.00 wage it. yes, president joe biden is warning global freedom and democracy is under threat. he's hosted a virtual summit of more than a 100 well leaders calling it a summit for democracy. a china and russia would notably absent from the guest list . both countries have denounced the meeting, accusing the us of stoking divisions. in my view, this is the final challenge of our time democracy. government of the people by the people for the people can at times be fragile, but also is inherently resilient, is capable of self correction and is capable of self improvement. and yes,

democracy hard, we all know that it works best with consensus and cooperation. busy nicaragua, government has said its breaking its long standing diplomatic ties with taiwan. the government said in the statement, it recognizes the communist parties, one china policy. taiwan is expressed pain and regret the decision. only 14 countries in the world recognise taiwan as a country. bryan, he is the founder of new blue magazine and a rice, the diplomat. he has downplayed nicaragua, move, says taiwan. unofficial allies such as the us hold wait. so the timing is quite interesting because of the summit for democracy that it can be by the by didn't administration town and invited despite not being a member of the us. so this is a sign of the us strength of amendments towards taiwan. ivr china has reacted by angrily to that it is not invited. and so this is included hang back at the us, i think of the show that it is not actually

a final anything significant. but the same time when you see this with no progress breaking relation is i want this timing, it does seem rather suspicious. so what is interesting, i think, is how this will play out domestically in that the pro china opposition. the came t will use us to attack the ruling side ministration. and so the diplomatic allies that towel on has are smaller than it in terms of the size of a population or economy. they're probably a role is to speak up or taiwan international relations from which it is excluded. and this occurred with nicaragua as recently as september. so it does somewhat of a surprise that there is a switch now over in terms of the substantive impact. it does not have a lot of impact on taiwan directly in that way. china would like to see how long have fewer and fewer for our lives. and in this way, is a way to diplomatically humiliate taiwan on the world stage at a time in which there is increasing support from taiwan internationally, whether that be from the us, from european union countries or cetera. and so this is a way to work against trent. and so this is

a way to attack the time ministration that is currently in power and potentially affect elections. because sometimes how many is do perceive the stinking of international space when they do lose the amount of allies over in most cases, how on an official ties with other countries such as with the us food does not actually have formulation. taiwan are more important than d is different allies who do not actually do much except the to speak up or taiwan once in awhile. and these are josh or nations. but i think china was trying to continue with activity. the international criminal court has opened a new investigation into the venezuelan government's handling of opposition protests in 2017. more than a 100 people were killed during months of unrest is the 1st time the i. c. c has launch investigation against a south american nation. theresa by reports from caracas. a thing a call if you it's been for years seen sale, read an or superman. this son was killed during protest in venezuela. one bowel was a student and died of cardio genic shock in april 2017. after being hit by

a tear gas canister at close range, either his sister was a cancer patient and went bowel was frustrated with a situation which made it difficult for her to be treated in ways to me. but i was told, my son was dead. it was like the world stopped, they broke our life. i remember that day because they killed my husband and me. 2 years later, our daughter died of cancer. they destroyed our family in the same way. they have destroyed hundreds of families in venezuela. campolo was a basketball player and a student that was she was study a lot of children, gender. everything has been a challenge. fighting the prosecutor's office. the prosecutor has been changed 15 times in 2019. all the actions came from us. nobody does anything. they want to say it was an accident, and it was not one, boundless death is just one of them. many cases presented at the international criminal court against the government of president, nicola, my lord,

are many swollen officials are being investigated for crimes against humanity for extreme repression and serious human rights abuses. juan badillo. but emily, there was just one of the thousands of young people that took to the streets to protest against the government of nicola, my lord or this is his room. these are some of his belongings for the government. he was a terrorist, but these are some of the things he wrote. i want to graduate in a university in the united states. i want to be and be a player. i want to be the best player in the world. and i one word piece the investigation against venezuela includes accusations of secret detentions, and torture sites. even a government plan that targeted protesters as opposition forces. it also includes human rights abuses against opponents, but also members of the security forces who dared to challenge the government. we

should, i call them as a troll at the international criminal court, includes the possibility of a detention or something. the other reports do not have. and the fact that it's a shame to be the only latin american government to be tried at b, i. c. c. l e daniel is trying to assist the victims in their search for justice. i think i feel elementary. i thought it was the fact that there was an official investigation is historic. it's never happened in the americas. we have to consider that before. that was the case and honduras and columbia, and this is the 1st con, there is an investigation the government says the crime should be investigated and tried in the country. it also says abuses are being committed by the united states and other countries against venezuela, through economic sanctions. but the victim say the violations committed against government. critics are brutal and should be punished in an international court. there is, i will alger feeder, correct? me several

countries are expanding booster vaccine programs to contain coven 19 various infections. this is the world health organization continues to oppose the move. the w h. o says only people with compromised immune systems should be targeted for a short and says, the privacy should be to get everyone in the world fascinated. emerging data suggest vaccine efficacy declines after some time, especially among older people. for the time being, we continue to support one the need for equity in the distribution i. location of axioms and to the use of 3rd doses only on dose that we have previously recommended . those that have received inactivated 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. there's also a warning from the w h. i the concerns over the,

on the chrome very and could lead to more hoarding of vaccines. more than half of all people in the world have now received at least one dose. that drops to just over 6 and every 100 people in low income countries. since february, the vaccine sharing lines kofax has shipped fixed 110000000 doses to 144 nations or territories, but the goal was to bill him. well, the program sped up in the past few months, thanks to donations from wealthy countries and ease on exports from india. but if rich nations prioritize their own doses, they all fears this could slow. there's no supply issues. the w h o says one and a half 1000000000 doses are produced every month. the issue is with allocation. the global health chief says 6 times as many boosters are given out in rich nations every day and fast shots 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 australia has outlined a plan to my current of ours fact seems compulsory and applies to people age 14 and above those who refused to get the jobs will be fined about $4000.00. australia has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western europe. is 22 people have been killed in the latest wave of violence in northern cameroon, promising thousands of people to flee to neighboring chant residence in cas area. say they witness some of the worst fighting between fishing and hurting communities

over access to water balance that has left several injured force more than 30000 people from their homes. so long as the fighting and cosivity has been very violent, we had to cross the river at night to find refuge here. not that with safety. we faced the cold weather and lack of food and our children have not eaten yesterday. we ask for chad, you know 30 to help us doing otherwise, our situation here will be worse than the conflict we have at home. at least 14 people have been killed in volcano fasfa during an ambush on the convoy. come an official thing happened in the tank province in the north. those kills were believed to be part of a government back civilian paramilitary group. it comes a day off to the government resigned on the public pressure of its failure to tackle wine in the region. farms in india have officially ended a year long protest after the government abandoned controversial agricultural reforms

. protest is blockade the the capital since november last year of the plans with table to deregulate the following rocket. the government has now made several concessions that guarantees farmers a minimum price to their produce criminal charges against protesters will also be dropped. navea gill is an assistant history professor, william patterson university. he says the protest as achievements will inspire all the movements around the world. the protest was the most remarkable of widespread a challenge to the would be government. the recent news shows the power of collective action. farmers, workers, their back orders across needs to be successfully defeated the most serious threat to their livelihood will be until the significance is that this victory is a defeat for the new liberal agenda. which is this obsession with deregulation and privatization. it's a defeat for

a policy to this kind of majority carrier to be in for meant in, communal in between community and the fee for the kind of centralizing for us to be concentrating our needs to be and depriving of, of their right. so i think it's success, it's something that people in india and across the continent and around the world are celebrating because it opened up new possibilities or different future governments are invincible until they're not. so movie has kind of built up an image as somebody who never backtrack. i'm going to, once you make a decision, the final and what we've seen over the year long protest through the bitter cold, through the blistering summer with all sorts of efforts to his credit and be legitimize. this protest is that people when organized and determine can challenge authoritarian governments and can succeed. new zealand government

has announced one of the wealth, toughest anti smoking laws. upon actively found smoking by progressively raising the legal age of buying tobacco products level of nicotine, the cigarettes on sale will also be reduced. the lowest set to come into effect in 2027 critic say the law could boost the black market for tobacco. dr. yeesh overall is new zealand is associate health minister, she says, vapor isn't included because it's considered a safer alternative to cigarettes. they are very strong evidence that tobacco is an extremely harmful and addictive substance. and yet the evidence will have some bytes is fairly bad, definitely a cipher old finished. so we're taking a reduction approach by banning to that product to future generations. but making sure currents market to quit. there is an alternative,

$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, restating with allowing right to the quick till we made the biggest decrease we had in history in the last year alone. so we think the recall 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 pass the community behind, ah, this is out there at the top stories around nuclear talks in vienna have resumes for the biden administration. is warned of new sanctions if diplomacy fails. the us envoy around says washington is ready to meet with her on over new, characterise, but to her on.
