2 years after new zealand's deadly mosques you chains one o one east returns to christ church to find out how those most affected are coping . and surviving a massacre on al-jazeera. are at. or near an. wrong hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states a public display of differences as top u.s. and chinese diplomats meet in alaska to try and reset relations. i am. fully back to you watching al jazeera live from doha also ahead tanzania is to swear in its 1st female president to succeed the late john model fully. challenging times for chile the military is

helping in force a knock down after a surge in corona virus cases. i feel scared at all time to get into it alone. and asian american communities on alert after deadly shootings we had planned to stoke fear of 8 products. i am. the end. thank you very much for joining us a meeting between the united states and china aimed at reducing tensions between the 2 countries has gotten way under way with a very frank exchange of views it was supposed to be a short introduction at the start of the talks lasting more than an hour china has warned the u.s. to stay out of its internal affairs while the americans told their counterparts that china is threatening the international order of diplomatic editor james space

reports from anchorage alaska. this is a meeting that will shape the future relations between the world's 2 biggest powers relations that are currently at a low point good afternoon. and welcome normally opening remarks at events like these a brief and polite but the u.s. side went on to list their specific concerns and since wrong hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states economic coercion toward our allies the chinese response was long and just as frank the foreign minister wang ye said you don't welcome guests with sanctions a reference to the blacklisting of 24 chinese and hong kong officials in the hours before the meeting his senior colleague politburo member yang jiechi was clearly unhappy. well i think we thought too well of the united states we thought the u.s. side would follow the necessary diplomatic protocols he went on to complain about

regime change in the middle east and the u.s. is only human rights record and yet the challenges facing the u.s. and human rights are deep seated they did not emerge over the past 4 years the slaughter of black people the problem existed for a long time police are the words slaughter was not translated into english for those in the room by the chinese delegations interpreter on one second please journalists were about to be ushered out when the secretary of state made it clear his delegation wanted to speak again i just made my 1st trip as i noted to panic 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 reengage with our allies and partners i'm also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government is taking

a confident country is able to look hard at its own shortcomings and constantly seek to improve and that is the secret sauce of america alaska is a midway point just over 6000 kilometers to beijing just under 6000 kilometers to washington d.c. this was a meeting that was supposed to build bridges what we've seen here could be a welcome clearing of the air or perhaps the beginning of a deepening of the division it all depends on the crucial talks which now continue behind closed doors james is out zira anchorage and al-jazeera is in beijing she says anger has been building on china's part in the lead up to the meeting. 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 1st few moments of this encounter and china's 1st trial of the 2 canadians charged with espionage has ended with no verdict this is when michael spot or appeared in court in the southeastern city of dung on friday canada was denied access to the proceedings 5 or and former diplomat michael called break were arrested 2 years ago in a move widely seen as retaliation for candid as the detention of monk and executive from chinese telecom giant wall way. in other world news tanzania's 1st female president is said to be sought in this hour after the death of john michael fully vice-president sam yes who hassani is expected to be promoted to the top job as we've said in the coming hour this comes 2 days after the announce death of president john michael fully the government saying he died of a heart failure at the age of $61.00 is observing $21.00 days of mourning let's

bring in katherine sawyer who is monitoring developments from kenya's capital nairobi so the swearing in ceremony happening this hour in douma with time the tanzania having its 1st female president very soon tell us more about who she is and what direction she's likely to take the country. well i've been speaking to people in tanzania just about. who and what she is about and what is coming out of there is that she is definitely no that's a name that was given to former president. present fully because of how he did things so her leadership style is quite different from him telling me that she is more thoughtful listens to counsel more is a strictly for procedure so she doesn't make decisions and she is also well known internationally if you remember the president hardly ever traveled outside of

tanzania for international events so he would send her to represent the country so she is known by international partners and i think that they will be confortable working with her but you but she is also she was also she is also very loyal to the president and he's very much guided by the ruling c.c.m. party and its policies in the agenda so it's going to be interesting for you to see how or if she will deviate very much from the policies of the former president of the late president and by extension the policies and agenda of the ruling party right so interesting to see what happens in whether there's going to be continuing but when it comes to covered 19 catherine john michael fully put tanzania in the global spotlight with his handling of the pandemic are we going to see a change in strategy in 1000 after his death which. view as the opposition has said is linked to coronavirus.

a lot of people in tanzania are also looking to see how she's going to handle the coronavirus. present myself well as you mentioned has been under a lot of flak for how he handled coronavirus he never put the country on lockdown now encourage citizens to implement a social distancing measures wear a mask until very recently when he told them that they can start wearing locally manufactured mosques but then people have also been very worried because increasingly been we've been seeing more people being hospitalized we've been seeing more deaths religious leaders have come out saying that there have been dying we've seen senior politicians who have died because of koran and so it's going to be interesting to see whether she is going to change policy and a lot of people expect her to do that because there is a lot of worry. being told by some analysts that perhaps it's going to start slow

telling people to social distance to wear masks perhaps it's going to be interesting to see for example importantly if she is going to allow for a vaccination program in that country president before he was set against that so people are saying that she needs to change strategy it's going to be interesting to see if she's going to do that she's going to address the nation at some point today so we're going to get an inkling of what's going to happen going forward thank you for that catherine soy in nairobi and the swearing in of tanzania's 1st female president happening in. dar es salaam this hour. the corner virus pandemic now and brazilian media say the mayor of rio de janeiro is ordering the closure of the city's beaches this weekend to curb the spread of
