going to be able to see and that's one thing evil to change. beat the women in going to war going places when it comes to educating women make change. think. face to face but not seeing eye to eye by the administration holds its fast high level talks with china. hello there i missed on the attack and this is al jazeera live from doha and also coming up challenging times for chile the military is helping to enforce a lockdown in coronavirus case. that the countdown begins at more signs the turkey olympics will go ahead with

a state of emergency about to be lifted. and hoping for a more fruitful future but there's new anxiety in afghanistan about the withdrawal of u.s. troops. while china has warned the u.s. to stay out of its internal affairs as top diplomats from the wilds 2 largest economies hold talks and alaska chinese foreign minister also says it's time to repair relations with the u.s. which are as an all time low it's the 1st high level meeting between the superpowers under president joe biden's administration u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken says they'll discuss a wide range of human rights issues including taiwan hong kong and the crackdown on reka muslims and she accuses china of threatening the international order while china retaliated by pointing out the u.s. cannot speak for the rest of the wild. with the judged by population

scale well the trend of the world the wisdom world does not represent the global public opinion so we hope that when talking about universal values or international public opinion on the part of the united states we hope the us side will think about whether it feels reassured saying those things because the us does not represent the world it only represents the government of the united states i have to tell you in my my short time as secretary of state i've spoken to i think nearly $100.00 counterparts from around the world and i just made my 1st trip as i noted to japan and south korea. i have to tell you what i'm hearing is very different from what you describe i'm hearing deep satisfaction that the united states is back there were reengaged with our allies and partners i'm also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government is taking a. look at as a james say it's too early to tell if there's been any sort of breakthrough. there

certainly was a rather unusual and frank exchange of views from these 2 sides normally when you get an event like this the 2 sides sit down and you get some very brief polite remarks from both sides that is not how it played out this time the u.s. secretary of state was the 1st to speak and he cited very specific concerns the u.s. has about china the chinese side responded with a senior politburo moment member yang jiechi and he said this wasn't diplomatic protocol what the u.s. had just said and he then cited his own concerns about the u.s. saying the u.s. chooses its own type of democracy china has its own democracy he cited us a regime change in the middle east and then he talked about human rights here in the u.s. talking about the slaughter of black people was the quote that quote interestingly was not used by his translator when she translated it back to those in the room

including the u.s. secretary of state and national security adviser after what they've heard they heard though they then spoke again and the chinese wanted to speak again yet again at which point the reporters weren't able to hear that they were ushered out of the room it's very hard how to how to judge this because it was very very frank it may have been a exchange of views that will clear the air it may have been the much deepening of the division between the 2 countries i don't think we're going to know for now because the talks continue behind closed doors and it will depend what happens in those talks will continue is in beijing for us and she says anger has been building on china's part in the lead up to the small thing. this comes off the back of a few days of the us being in both tokyo and seoul and spending those 2 days criticizing china outright for being

a bad international actor also behind the scenes we've had a flurry of actions by the u.s. against china back home for example they've cut the license of a chinese telecom company in the us they've subpoenaed a number of chinese technology companies and this week they've also sanctioned or expanded sanctions on a number of chinese officials they say are responsible for curtailing freedoms in hong kong so it does seem that beijing has been sincerely caught off guard by these actions to the point that younger true china's top diplomat in that meeting in alaska actually asked anthony blinken if these actions were taken on purpose in the lead up to this meeting so there has been quite a lot of anger building on beijing's part in the lead up to this to this meeting and we have to keep in mind it's not only the u.s. who has an audience here china has its own audience 1400000000 citizens who are increasingly nationalistic and china is very determined to appear strong they don't want to appear subordinate to the u.s.

they want to be taken as an equal and so we've seen a young pitcher and the foreign minister one year really let rip induced the 1st few moments of this encounter well china's 1st trial of 2 canadians charged with espionage has now ended with no verdict businessman michael spado appeared in court in the southeastern city of dundalk on friday canada was denied access to the proceedings. and former diplomat michael covering were arrested 2 years ago now in a move seen as retaliation for china's detention of men one show an executive from chinese telecoms giant huawei. now brazilian media say the mare of rio de janeiro is ordering the closure of beaches this weekend to curb the spread of the corona virus and to be the 1st time they've been shut down since the 1st weeks of this pandemic and follows a dramatic increase in infections and deaths across brazil which is pushing the

health system to the brink of collapse where is may is appealing to the federal government also for the resumption of financial aid for struggling residents this will be because it's going to be that often people do not have the means to bring food home so i want to appeal to president both sonora to congress that it is not possible to imagine a country like brazil where 90 percent is under lockdown a blockade with a frozen economy that there is no stimulus that they are no effective measures for the transfer of income that there is no type of aid for business people for merchants so that we can face this pandemic. a rapid increase in corona virus infections is forcing chile to put hoff its population into an indefinite shutdown more than 6000 new cases were recorded in its latest daily report while deaths on out their highest level since june last in america tell you senior reports now from santiago. this time they mean business that's the message chile's government

back in chile the only exception to the rules for those under lockdown is who people who are going out to get a vaccination a new clinical study by. catholic university indicates that with 2 doses the signal back vaccine provides immunity in 90 percent of cases but until vaccine herd immunity can be established. forcing people to remain home yet again is the only option you see in human al-jazeera santiago or now coronavirus state of emergency is about to be lifted in japan another big step towards the tokyo and picks actually going ahead and just over 4 months now until those games are set to begin the emergency was announced in january and then extended twice japan's prime minister though says it will end on sunday because more hospital beds are now available in toe care but he's still adding people to keep taking precautions with private 90. you know madonna however the number of new infections remains at the

it's near their homes but they don't want spectators to travel they have taken precautions along the route clearly it's something that it's a very important. visual for the games and to show that they are going forward and so organizers will 'd be very keen to make sure that it goes off even if the majority of it is in televised form and they don't have the huge crowds that we've been used to from past games a lot of these scandals that have come up in recent weeks with modi and now with the former head of the opening ceremony here no she's a saki does our own goals as we say these are issues that should not be happening in obviously. the organizers have have to deal with that they have to respond i think the fact that there was such a big backlash locally in response to this latest scandal involving comedian now me
