we honestly 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 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 a we don't chose arrange, rent is, 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 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, were 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 pooley. 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 us, state department has called for other democratic countries to expand their engagements with taiwan. often, nicaraguans government decided to cut the diplomatic ties with the island. the chinese foreign ministry welcomed the move of the statements and praise nicaragua, commitment to the communist parties, one china policy, taiwan expressed pain and regret at the decision. only 14 nations recognize taiwan as a country. by jing sees the island as a breakaway province to be reunited with the mainland bryan,

who is the founder of new blue magazine and a writer for the diplomat. he downplayed the progress move and says taiwan unofficial allies, such as the us hold more weight. so that time, spite interesting because of the summit for democracy that can be in by the, by the new 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 quite 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 nicaragua, breaking relationship, 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 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 the population or economy. they're probably 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 come in 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 in your life. 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 the trent. and so this is a way to attack the administration 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 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 to speak up or taiwan once in awhile. and these are josh or nations. but i think china will try to

continue with activity. you're as president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sovereignty and a phone call with president bonum. as uminski, the ukrainian leader says the pair also discussed possible options for ending the 15 eastern ukraine when they spoke on thursday. it follows tuesday's virtual summit between president biden and russian president vladimir putin, where the u. s. warned of heavy sanctions if russia invades ukraine. but he, by dish gifts that on now 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 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 over. well, 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 ah, ways of providing misinformation around the world are 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 objective, our president's objective in 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. charles traffic has more now from pearson 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 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 ascension to 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. late is fighting in northern cameroon. other access to water has killed at least 22 people. around 30000 people have said to neighbor and chad. people living in cassette, he say it some of the worst on rest, yet seen between fishing and hurting communities. he saw alone. i see mon galeb, the fighting cosivity has been very violent, or no,
