department has called the other democratic countries to expand their engagement with taiwan. up to nicaragua was government decided to cut diplomatic ties with the on nation. the chinese foreign ministry welcomed the move in a statement and praise nicaragua was commitment to the communist parties. one china policy, i was expressed pain and regret at the decision. only 14 countries in the world recognize taiwan as a country towns president has responded vowing to safeguard democracy. junior garza organ got the more successful taiwanda democracy and the greater the international support than the greater the pressure from the authoritarian camp. whether it's diplomatic pressure or military intimidation, we will not change our determination to a dear to democracy and freedom to go on the international stage and to participate in the international democratic community. brian, here is the founder of new blue magazine and arise for the diplomat. he downplayed nicaragua, his move is as ty, ones, unofficial allies, such as the u. s. hold more weight. so the timing is quite interesting because of

the summit for democracy that is convened by the, by the ministration town and invited, despite not being a member of the us. so this is 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 final anything significant. but the same time when you see this with no progress breaking relationships, i want the 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 trends. 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 with the u. s. who does not actually have formulation as taiwan are more important than the de fanatic allies who do not actually do much except the on to speak up or taiwan once in awhile. and these are joshua organizations, but i think china will try to continue with activity u. s. president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sovereignty and a phone call with president lot of as zalinski. the ukrainian leader says the pair also discussed possible options for ending the conflict in east in ukraine when

they spoke on thursday. it follows tuesdays virtual summit between president biden and russian president vladimir putin. with the u. s. warned of heavy sanctions of russia invades ukraine. but he, by dish gears 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 cease fire 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. and that account is being 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, that 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 house rapid has more 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 it 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 spin 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 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 talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal are continuing on friday in vienna. the happening on the increased pressure of the bind in administration, hinted at new sanctions or even military consequences. as traditional diplomacy fails, us envoy around spoke with our white house correspondent kimberly helped me before leaving the austrian capital. she started by asking him why the us is still moving to tyson 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 soon as are on it,

and we would lift all of the sanctions that are inconsistent with jesse too. 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 obviously 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. but as president biden secretary, blinking has both said, if iran chooses regard despite or 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 arenas that 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 the political capital and making this effort if his goal was to come in and then withdraw. of course, we don't know what a 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 the running 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 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 blinking 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 the g p 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 prepared to roll up their sleeves and do it to still ahead on al jazeera, a 1st for latin american country. the world's top criminal who is investigating venezuela's government will tell you why and how far is helping to provide education. to thousands of children across africa,
