war than 1000 days, a major source of contention between the us and china because she was arrested in canada at the u. s. request. and she has and her just now a plea of not guilty. the timing is interesting for this plea deal to surface now because in just under a month's time, her extra edition case was expected to conclude. so it could be that the either sides felt that this was the time when both had the most leverage. now we're still waiting to hear the exact details about what mung has to agree to the u. s. prosecutors who are discussing the case now via video conference in brooklyn, new york court room. they have said that they will agree to defer these charges until the end of 2022. and if mung then upholds her end of the deal which likely will be some sort of admission of wrongdoing. though again, she has pleaded not guilty. perhaps you will also agree to a fine but only then will these charges be dropped? now mung has been charged with wire and bank fraud involving allegedly defrauding banks and in violation of un sanctions on iran. and her attorneys have said that she was politically targeted

u. s, which she says, the countries host with the host country. they have been multiple violations growth breaches in the use arrangements at the young diploma. and again, mister the us, sir, who depos a voice diplomatic property from russia, that's a breach. and that was a statement from the un was that that shows that it is wrong. the un secretary was supposed to start the speech arbitration procedures. i met with colleagues yesterday and the legal counsel was there, mr. suarez, is that the person who needs to initiate the necessary steps and, you know, there's a delay in the procedure. and the 1st question was on mr. bud and statements here at the us. we should be able to see the us president biden said that the us will never use force to change them with regimes in other countries. it was never say never to put it on speaker me, but i get i met the trump administration that i pulled her a was pulled out of the iran gill, a bama, the above administration, and the sheep lindsey held to broker. lets see if i could get that on the program with you

tell you the other bit of news from that news conference, she was asked about our other top story this out about that deal between australia, the u. s. and the u. k. that news conference. and she said, she didn't think it was going to have any, despite that outrage from france, have any effect on her operations here at the united nations. in fact, she said she met the french and basset last night, and they had a cordial conversation and she said the work goes all within the close allies here at the security council. and remember that the so called p 33 of the permanent members of the, the u. k, the u. s. and france that was very, very closely together. try to steer the security council in different directions. she said that p 3 partnership was not going to be affected by the current ro. alright. james phase there at the united nation. thank you. chinese presidents, fishing, paying as calling for a smooth transition and i've gone the storm, then urged the new government to follow what he called moderate policies asian needed, leading a meeting rather energy cost on capital shanay to discuss the telephone take over the shanghai cooper

u. s. e company and she left the joining the company back in 2014. so what does indicates is that this is something that has been going over a lengthy period of time, essentially the us, according to the investigative running a most. and we computer operation within the united states and other parts of the world for a period approaching a decade. the sheer length of this operation is staggering. ok, thank you so much for that, mike canada, bring us the lesions, lie from washington, d. c. let's stay with this, which i know, but glen call. he's a former type c national intelligence officer for transnational threats at the cia and joins us by skype from boston. and it's good to have you with us here on al jazeera, the men who agreed to pay the sum of money. they claim they thought they were working with the u. s. government. is that a plausible scenario in your view? well, it's not that plausible to me. you know, it is true that there are many americans who work for a companies that provide intelligence and national security related services to foreign

and she said, u. s. policies as training ties, katrina, you has more from aging. this phone call is hugely significant. so far we've got scant details about what exactly was discussed, but both sides are saying so far that it was a broad discussion. now bridging has released a statement, a very brief one saying that washington initiated the colon invited. she didn't ping to speak with joe biden and that it was an in depth. 7 and extensive strategic communication on issues of common concern. now, where yet to see whether there was any concrete outcomes or actions to come out of this phone call. but it is a very positive sign. the relationship between the u. s. and china really has hit at old time low, and it started to really worse and under the administration of former us president donald trump, we have the trade war. and then we had the pandemic. and we've had a lot of criticisms around, alleged human rights abuses, been committed by the chinese government and she's young, it's cracked down on democracy and hong kong. it's increasing aggressiveness towards taiwan

she's doing things have mentioned, see what he has to say. that's right. i mean, i suspect that the u. s. will be mentioned directly by she's paying and you'll also see the chinese talking about playing more of a leadership role. but one thing i will say about china right now, they are on the cusp of a lehman brothers style. financial meltdown. whenever grand, i mean $300000000000.00 organization that is about to default, some massive problem for china. and they're going to be focused at least as, as internally in the coming months. as the americans have that, as far as buying content, how much, how much have we give its promises? the force will not be the last resort. the way forward is purely diplomacy. i do believe that the united states, it's been very popular leaving afghanistan. and the reason for that is because 20 years and trillions of dollars spent primarily on a military fix of afghanistan. and the global war and terror was seen to be an enormous waste. not just the money, but of course also of people's lives in the united states with the allies and in the countries themselves

u. s. will be giving $64000000.00. she said that was brand new money james, we know that the well, the saying that it will evaluate the taliban government by the actions and their policy choices. do you think they've done enough so far to ensure that money will actually continue flowing into the country? well certainly there are some, some countries that are reluctant to get money at this stage because that when the money going into the hands of the taliban. earlier i spoke to the un humanitarian coordinator martin griffiths, who said that they would try and make sure money went directly to those humanitarians on the ground who are delivering services to the african people. he told me about the scale of the problem the level of need enough can it's done. it's always been significant these many years. but for example, we were trying to reach 2 thirds of the population before these events took place. now the shock to the system that withdrawal a certain funding for paying of salaries and so forth. the frontline health worker
