ambassador has attended the ceremony in a move likely to raise tensions with china brant christensen who heads the american institute in taiwan the us is defacto embassy on the island attended a service commemorating what is called the 2nd taiwan straits crisis it refers to the chinese bumbling of kinsmen island in 1958 that led to the deaths of taiwanese troops who control the island its proximity to the chinese mainland has always been a source of tension with taiwan. christensen's appearance with the taiwanese view dot coms at a time of growing tensions between the u.s. and china over the united states has continued military support for taiwan which breaching regards as a part of the state of tree from what we can go across to taipei where did i'm a correspondent we have yang is standing by remember good to have you on the program how significant is brant christensen's attendance at this memorial service . so like a lot of the media reports every point christianson it's the 1st director which means that he is the de facto ambassador to taiwan that has ever attended such a come imm

what donald trump announced this morning in the oval office we always have to put in consideration brant it's only a little bit more than 80 days away from election and he needs some success this would be his 1st foreign policy success so sure he would want to make the biggest event out of it but it would be actually it is also fair to say that. the americans can actually very little right now about international affairs everything is dominated by the pandemic so he wants to make it a big event we shall see how the people react to that it's a very good point it's domestic issues that usually decide elections not foreign policy in his poll in washington think you. are let's take a story where our correspondents are new cramer joins me now good evening to you so we heard benjamin netanyahu say that he has been working for peace in the middle east all of his life and that today's agreement reflects that is that credible is that vision credible. well i mean he has been saying for a long that he wants to see an opening to the especially to the gulf countries so this is basically if it happens

i mean sure brant they want to protect not only joe biden but all the other speakers and off to also the community of milwaukee right because many thousands of people. traveled there but i find another x. as think actually really interesting we hardly see any rallies this year so the conventions would have been a place where people could have experienced that candidate because we always have to keep in mind after all joe biden would be 78 years old on inauguration day the oldest president ever be sworn in so. people are eager to learn how his continuity abilities are and as we don't know if any abilities will happen the conventions which have been in place to get a little bit of a feeling about that strew been it's almost as if their campaign is not even taking place let's talk about the u.s. president donald trump he will not be attending the republican convention either and today he said that he might deliver his acceptance speech for the g.o.p. nomination from the white hells that would also be on president. is that going to happen. well it is unlikely i mean many lawyers are work

yes most definitely brant i think we really can say it's his it would be a huge success for him if this deal really would be signed i mean someone maybe of us remember early on 2016 in the last come pain he already announced once he is in the why is he white how is he's going to take care of this peace deal and that's not what he's obviously doing and how is this going to look is there going to be a signing ceremony at the the white house with the u.s. of course being the broker for this deal. that's what donald trump announced this morning in the oval office we always have to put in consideration brant it's only a little bit more than 80 days away from election i had and he needs some success this would be his 1st foreign policy success so sure he would want to make the biggest event out of it but it would be actually it is also fair to say that. the americans can actually very little right now about international affairs everything is dominated by the pandemic so he wants to make it a big event we shall see how the people react to that it's a very good point it's domestic issues that

what hezbollah is going to be in whole this think this is very interesting in the coming days and brant we will be watching that and we'll have you back here on the show as you talk about it because i think the story will have some very long legs. starting with g.w. everything is always we appreciate your time in your insights thank you my pleasure always thank you. for the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the u.s. bombing of hiroshima in japan the 1st atomic attack in august 1905 killed more than 140000 people survivors and families of victims laid wreaths at erosion was peace memorial park today they also remembered the moment the bomb hit with a bill followed by a minute of silence the ceremonies were scaled back this year because of the global health emergency only a handful of 4 dignitaries attended. a few survivors are still alive today their stories speak of horrors that the world should ensure never happened again. jiro how masoom e is a he. in japanese that means survivor of the bomb. he was exposed to radiation and his mother's womb as she walked around ground 0 and he

give us some breaking news coming into us here at al-jazeera the new zealand must shoot brant and tyrant has been sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole let's bring in wayne hay who's been following developments now from the thai capital bangkok wayne so brant on top of this is just breaking news now brant and tolerant how to already pleaded guilty to the charges against him talk us through the sentencing and how significant this is for new zealand's legal history. yes well it's the 1st time that this sentence has been handed down the 1st time that someone has been sentenced in new zealand to life in prison without the possibility of parole that sentence coming down from the judge in the high court in christchurch justice cameron manda just a few minutes ago and it was a very long sentencing procedure this was the 4th day of the sentencing in the course and in the actual redan of the sentence all of the summing up of all the facts that have been presented to the court the judge spent more than 2 hours reading through his sentence and continuing a theme that we'v

well brant yes there is i mean as far as this demonstration on saturday is concerned the berlin police say that they are considering investigations of prosecutions of those service once a bill for that demonstration and for the lack of face mosques and distancing but more widely some people are beginning to call for. such demonstrations to be banned or at least only allowed under strict limitations if people refuse to follow the rules and up but i think the mainstream view there is that the right to protest is an extremely important democratic right and shouldn't be pared down except with extremely good reason so the question really is what should the police do well there's been talk of you know imposing really tough fines but it is very difficult of course to police people who you know arriving on mass not distancing not wearing face masks it makes it extremely difficult for the police but i think there's a lot of feeling that you know something should be done to respond to this type of action in examining the images of these protesters chanting we are the 2nd wave i mean this shocked

news from berlin i'm brant goff after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight from shock to endure in beirut who is responsible for letting the lebanese capital walk will be right back. to. the time and place captured in pictures. images of gaza. studios are kind of documents lives in bygone eras. and leads to those living today. they are guarding gaza's past in a box. only seen in black and white. collective memories starts of course for teens on t.w. . cutting through the noise. where i come from people are known for being tough but fair new york can be plowed and people tell it like it is. to call it the concrete jungle the melting pot the city that never sleeps it's this energy that makes it feel like but amid the hustle it's important to listen and pay attention because it's not just the loudest voices who need to be heard we all have a story to tell i see it as my job as a journalist to go beyond the obvious now i'm basing europe and my work takes me around the world from my instincts for me to say to tell the important stories behind the headlines. what

i think we're in the realm of gesture politics here brant and i think people have taken this to hop's and the people in the square protesting earlier on had read about the fact that europe wasn't recognizing these elections and sanctions have being brought in and i think this is about giving a signal of solidarity or at least of hope to the protesters here so that europe is listening and watching them in terms of the nitty gritty and i don't think to make much difference the people who work at the k.g.b. headquarters behind me here in minsk are used to sanctions at the wave after wave of sanctions against others and they have passed without much of a change here i think people being challenged that fact that those in. in the the one demand the protesters have risked their lives for in the past 10 days that demand has been new elections yet the european union today did not call for new elections bottleneck to hand didn't recognize the last polls i think these are kind of diplomatic details at a level for that for most better russians coming out to protest today not that relevant in ter

not truly maybe the only the only difference that that makes at this stage to answer a question of brant is maybe one positivity that i can see that i can see it is at least now we have one name and one face we can relate that to this crime before this is the 1st time everybody has a fascination his study whatever it was always in the study and i guess it's the 1st time now we have a member and hezbollah is publicly like responsible for an act of terrorism that's many civilians there would have been killed and also one hiking politicians this is the only positivity that that i can see but is it enough definitely not and if they at this investigation for 13 years and this all this cost does that the lebanese faith and also the international community in order to get this resolved is that enough for the lebanese i don't think so and this is what they're saying in the street and also in the political scene do you believe that the man who was convicted today do you believe that deeds the only person who should be convicted. of course not of course not i mean the crime was huge that's a summa

order to calm the things down in the streets and and also one thing it's very important to mention brant that now after what happened after the verdict today many bodies they were asking if this is happened after 13 years of international investigation why we are asking about. another international investigation for both ports blast if that is up there's going to be one person who is guilty we don't know if he's going to serve any time soon so no let's do it by ourselves thank you so much we're not going to pay a $700000000.00 i mean there's a bit there's a very good and a half of it i'm going to the special tribunal today convicted one man a hezbollah militant but they said at the same time the other 3 who were acquitted had no connections to the leadership of hezbollah so you've got a hezbollah militant convicted the others are not connected to hezbollah they're not doing does it does that does that make a big difference though at this stage not truly maybe the only the only difference that that makes at this stage to answer a question of brant is maybe one positive figure that i can s

is still never produced any evidence brant of this never shown any evidence that this actually happens now they're saying the same thing about ticktock that all this data can be kind of sent over to the chinese government but they haven't shown proof that that's happening and here's my biggest concern about all of it is when you're talking about getting rid of take talk or forcing it into another big american tech companies hands when you're talking about getting rid of ali baba which is really the only true competition to amazon anywhere in the world as an e-commerce site when you're talking about doing that when you're actually doing is you're strengthening the monopolies that these tech companies already have the stranglehold they already have and by going around using the full force and might of the u.s. government you're preventing any kind of foreign competition to companies that are not benevolent companies or companies that have abused their power in the past and will only continue to increase that abuse as they are the only game in town not jeffrey what about that point that b

so right brant justices said these were the 1st virtual conventions ever and the democrats really used to have a to teach to display the diversity of the party through this nation wide roll call we just saw in this little clip so waters and delegates from all across the country they were able to express why they are supporting biden and i have to say that was really quite something so you saw a relief. on the activists you saw farmers from everywhere and it was very special yeah i think it reminded americans in the world to just tell diverse the united states is particularly when a lot of people are inside and not leaving their own front door because of the pandemic talk to me a little bit about the selection of speakers at this convention i know there's been so some controversy especially within the latino community. here right i mean so full of farm in the yesterday they really kind of called an elder or statement former president bill clinton was speaking secretary of state john kerry was speaking and the younger generation i think this is kind of fair to say there were a kind of le

robin brant, thank you.attles a spike in coronavirus cases. it's raised fears that the country could be the next to be added to the uk s quarantine list. but as our correspondent mark lowen reports from southern france, with temperatures soaring, not everyone is happy to wear them. tram bell tolls. france is extending rules on the obligatory wearing of face masks in order to try to reduce its coronavirus infection rate which has currently hit a two—month high. from today, in 100 locations in and around paris, you have to wear the mask outside. now, it is already the case here in nice and in several other cities, where in the centre of nice between 10am and 1am, as you see here, you've got to wear the facemask. if you don't, you risk a fine. but if you look around, there are quite a lot of people at the moment still not wearing one, so we've come out here to the heart of old nice to ask why not? i don't see many locals wearing them. not everybody. we are just kind of, we've got them in our bags, we wear them
