ah, if america held up a mirror to itself, what would it see in a sense, race is the story of america what's working and what's not a lot of people. we're only talking about that. it wasn't at the top of the agenda . if america can handle multiple challenges on multiple frauds, we need to go back to school. the bottom line on al jazeera, ah. ready an overcrowded truck transporting migrants crashes in mexico, killing at least 53 people. with want to be traveling to the u. s. ah. hi there can vanelle. this is al jazeera life until also coming up the graduate ends. it's diplomatic ties with taiwan. choosing to officially recognize china. to

the reaction promote the 2 shams, red cross fire fighters to report section was really fast. we hoped that people taken to the gomez must a host be thought to st. westover and 2 other hospitals will be able to recover. emergency responders could be seen pulling bodies from the rec, authorities believe most, if not all of the victims are migrants from central america. money for concord are going to go to some of them told us they were from onboard us of all ages. sadly, we already have some debts, mexico's president, under this manuel lopez, although it offered his sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims over twitter. national immigration observers say, accidents like these are not uncommon in southern mexico. experts say policy enforced by the mexican government that prevents migrants from leaving southern mexico, is creating overcrowded conditions at migrant camps and forcing many to grow desperate in an indefinite migrants. having prevent that from moving indefinitely,

some with 3 to 6 months, with no work on the streets, a mass migrants are actually having a difficult time on their inhumane conditions. migrants have been known to cram into large trucks where they faced many risks, including kidnapping, extortion, and deadly accidents. manuel rap, hello al jazeera mexico city. the latest way, the violence in northern cumberland has left at least 22 people dead. thousands of fled to neighboring chad because of the unrest residence in co said a say that witness some of the west fighting between fishing and had in communities of access to water violence. there has left several injured, enforced more than 30000 people from their homes. as simon jailer, the fighting and cosivity has been very violent, so we had to cross the river at night to find refuge here. not that we are safe, we faced the cold weather and lack of food and our children have not eaten since yesterday dinner. we asked the change in afforded to nearby to help us doing

otherwise. our situation here will be worse than the conflict we have at home. the u. s. state department has called for other democratic countries to expand their engagement with taiwan. after nicaragua was government decided to cuts, diplomatic ties with the island nations. the chinese foreign ministry welcomed the move in a statement in praise. nicaragua was commitment to the communist parties, one china policy, taiwan expressed pain and regret the decision. only 14 countries in the world recognized how one as a country brian here is the founder of new blue magazine and a writer for the diplomat. he downplayed in graduate move and says, ty ones, unofficial allies, such as the u. s. whole more weight. so the timing is quite interesting because of the summit for democracy that 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 taiwan. ivr china has reacted by angrily to that it is not invited. and so this is included hang back at the us. i

was think of this show that it is not actually final anything significant. but the same time when you see this with no progress breaking relationships, i want at this time if 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 k m 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 the population or economy. they're probably a role is to speak up or taiwan in international organization from which it is excluded. and this occurred with nicaragua as recently as september. so it does come 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 it, 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 that trend. and so this is a way to attack the time ministration that is currently in our 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 and artificial ties with other countries, such as what the us food does not actually have formulation. taiwan are more important than d is de fanatic allies who do not actually do much except the speak up for taiwan once in awhile and these are josh or nations. but i think china will try to continue with activity you as president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine's sovereignty and a phone call with president vladimir zalinski. the ukrainian leader says the pair also discuss possible options for ending the conflict and eastern ukraine when they spoke on thursday. it follows today tuesdays virtual summit between president biden and russian president vladimir putin by the us warned of heavy sanctions if russia invades ukraine. but he,

by dish gifts that are not with the support of nato countries. ukraine is being pumped full of weapons and kia is building up its contingent on the line of contact in don bass. the number of sci fi violations which have happened since it was signed in july 2020. it's coming close 290000. the special 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 good will. that account has been 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. she also has more now from caisson in southern crane. 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 math that is made up of france, germany, russia, and ukraine has by all accounts. according to most stanley's been and on 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 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. farmers in india have officially ended a year long protest after the government abandoned agricultural reforms protested said the laws would have seen them lose the right to have a guaranteed minimum price for their produce criminal charges against the protest. it will also be dropped based on the promises the government has made. we've started to suspend our protests who hold review meeting on january 15th from the government doesn't feel its promises. we could be seen demonstrations as an assistant history professor at william patterson university. he says, the protest as achievement will inspire all the movements around the world. protest was the most remarkable of widespread

a challenge to the would be the other mix. the recent noon shows the power of collective action. farmers, workers their back orders across the success we defeated the most serious threat to their livelihood will be the significance of that this victory in a defeat for the new liberal agenda. which is this obsession with deregulation and privatization. it's a defeat for a policy to kind of majority carry premise be in for meant in communal atrium between community and defeat for the kind of centralizing for us to be concentrating, our needs to be and depriving of of their right. so i think it success is something that people in india and across the continent and around the world or other building because it opens up new possibilities for different future governments are invincible until they're not. so movie has kind of built up an image as somebody

who never backtracked. somebody who wants to make a decision 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 its credit and legitimize its protest is that people when organized and determine, can challenge authoritarian governments. and can succeed, says come on al jazeera, as a military operation against an ob group in democratic republic of congo, continues. we speak with one of the victims of the line is only just made it out alive. the 1st for latin american country, the world's top criminal court is investigating venezuela's government tele line. ah

deal are continuing on friday in vienna. the happening under increased pressure after the biden administration hinted at new sanctions or even military consequences if traditional diplomacy fails. the u. s. envoy for iran spoke with our white house correspondent, kimberly halgert before leaving the austrian capital. she started by asking him why the u. s. is still moving to tighten sanctions as the talks are ongoing. this is 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 soon as are on it and we would lift all of the sanctions are inconsistent with adjacent 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 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 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 it, rains that, don't trust us. and what happens 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 and 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 raining 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 and the g. p 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 live. he is electro commission, has yet turn out the final list of candidates less than 2 weeks out from the presidential election. and advisory council has called for the vote to be delayed until february with growing differences of a voting regulations. the paul, the seen as a key step to ending a decade of instability. uganda and soldiers have been fighting against an armed group in democratic republic of congo as part of a joint calculation that was launched last week. the so called allied democratic forces has sparked security concerns for both government groups been accused of launching several attacks against civilians and is now called web report. some of them barely made it alive. they because his sister was abducted by an armed grip
