a clear shot as it happened, a missile hit the high altitude below soon and it begins its descent. in end 2 days of long debate about what to do about this massive air balloon suddenly saw something take off again. i knew it was a missile and you can see the explosion. a should have started that winning the insane instead of letting it travel all the way across. that would just think that i think it's terrible that they let it get this far start with. and what i've heard, there's more and more of china claimed it was a weather balloon that was blown off course. president biden says he gave the order to shoot it down last one day. decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground and decided that the best time to do that was we got over water within our, within 12 mile limit officials. and now they're turning their attention to

recovering the balloon. they think it's going to be a fairly simple operation. they're already several us navy, an u. s. coast guard ship on the scene. they planned to use us navy divers and unmanned submersible to bring it to the surface in the next few days. and then the u. s will decide if they want to publicly end the debate offering proof of what this was. it's still an open debate because huge balloon was in fact, following the air streams of the area and that it has a tractor of did. it is not loitering over montana, it was shot off the eastern seaboard. so at this juncture, this idea that this is somehow a spy ship, that was liberally said by china seems a little bit far fetched. but us analysts say the fact that they believe a similar balloon as travel in latin america makes this theory more likely. i do not believe that it was just a weather balloon blown off. course it would be quite the coincidence if we have

this loon going into us airspace while apparently there's another one processing latin america us simultaneously infringing upon other countries here. space another strain in an already frayed relationship, which was supposed to take steps toward improvement on saturday. instead, taking a step back. particle, hain, al jazeera washington and katrina, you has more now on china's reaction from beijing who china's condemned the s drive against the airship. calling it an over reaction and violation of its national practice. china's foreign ministry for its plot has we is rated. it stands up is, is not a slide, learned that it is a civilian issue that was blurred off coals by a strong wind or force. major accident is what they're calling it now. enrich it. originally. we had a fairly, a soft regrettable torn from china. but now that has shifted to more defensive

stones and they're saying that you as politicians, are taking advantage of the situation to discredit and attack china. now we've also heard from china that at the top we did met one, he has spoken over the phone with entities, lincoln. they said that he called for cool heads over this matter and said that communication channels should be kept open. to avoid misjudgment that he repeated again, china does that. this is a groundless accusation. we've also heard from chinese state media. now try me in saying that this whole incident is essentially hot air and saying that u. s. media outlets are sensationalizing. this supported china thread and only making things worse between the 2 countries. 9 people as sale missing after a fishing boat capsized all flows south west coast. so south korea, the boat overturned just before midnight on saturday, 3 crew members were rescued. coast guard vessels are searching for other survivors . in late january, at least 8 people were reported. baird, after a cargo ship sank between south korea and japan. the head of the roman catholic

a little while ago. that's not a killer. there is no own our own killing. they tell you that they are addressing the government, the parliament just re count. and today, in order to set rules, to protect women from domestic violence. as you can see, light behind me, they have been raising bad notice. have been raising bad notice to demand justice for the depth of the alley up there have been there have been many unreported cases of like the case. but as you know, that because of the fact that there is no certain article in the penal code to protect women or female jewelry, thousands of israelis that protested against their government for a states consecutive saturday benjamin at yeah was coalition is the most right wing in israel's history and as widespread anger about his proposals to weaken the powers of the supreme court in mankind, reports from west joselet. o. again,

tens of thousands are out on the streets across israel, protesting against the government. here in western islam or outside the president's house, hoping to be heard. however, the numbers are far smaller than in previous weeks. ah, every saturday they gather, calling this right when government a threat to democracy in the rule of law. because it's a coalition built around openly for right parties. it's worth noting these protests, a, just about israel. not many here are talking about the palestinians, the still peace process or continued occupation. although their numbers are significant, they don't appear to represent the majority of israel society. i think right now what is a vocal minority? we don't know what the majority of israelis believe because the issues we're dealing with, a very complex and the people we seeing protesting our people in the economic world . high tech lawyers, a journalist, people who feel the threat to understand what this means for the change of israel's

legal regime. a and the demise of israelis, of israel's democracy, of moving on the path of hungary and poland. and perhaps other countries that have moved into an, a, a system of weakening our democracy the governments less than 2 months old and therefore too early for polling data. but it would seem, the majority of the electorate still supports the government of benjamin netanyahu . i need on there, but she knew i am supporting the changes this government makes this country isn't moving or people who aren't letting it move. they must give this government a chance to change. thanks. hello, i'm right wing. the government should be a right wing one as well. never even the protesters, no, they're in a minor mercy right now, but they all hoping that will change and will become more mainstream. but here that still means hard line conservatives. then game for the protest is to force a new election. now they may well succeed in doing that and they may well even get

rid of some of the far right elements that make up the current coalition. however, if previous governments all anything to go by then that hard line, conservatism will still remain him wrong calling out 0 west jerusalem. a presidential election is underway in cyprus, the country facing a cost of living crisis, corruptions candles, and a migration crisis. opinion poll suggests a vote will go to run off on february 12th, none of the leading candidates are expected to secure and majority. people in ecuador are also heading to the polls on sunday to elect local officials and vote on constitutional reforms. many observers see the referendum as a test for president guillermo lasso was approval ratings had said less than 20 percent. and i found that i'm katie reports from the capital to tell apathy and frustration or on the rise among voters in kito ahead of sundays, wide ranging referendum promoted by embattled precedent. guillermo last. so to

address the countries deteriorating, social and economic conditions. so like if you look at it, we have no faith in politicians for all the scandals that happened recently. people has lost trust in politics back on, so ha, with an approval rating below 20 percent. a hostile congress, mounting government corruption allegations and a dramatic rising gang related crime. conservative president last so has been left with little space to maneuver. so i relation thought yeah. but the 8th referendum questions, which covers security issues, reducing the number of lawmakers in congress, environmental protection, and the possible extradition of ecuadorian could help him regain initiative in quality. alaskans will just populate popular consultations usually become a referendum on the current administration. but in this case, despite the president's major loss in political capital, the referendum has strong support because it addresses fundamental issues for the people k. but critics argue that last as hoping to hear of the referendum for

a personal political when a way to try to boost to port for his failing presidency, to the detriment of the countries democracy, lost it with your political use. all the former president of ecuador is constitutional assembly says the reader, sion of assembly members will reduce representation of remote areas and strengthen the hand of the most powerful parties is the more for it they want to confront our popularity in us, eddie, that far from solving problems this referendum could exacerbate some of them. it's like a poisonous apple that shines on the surface. but if you read the questions and annexes carefully you see it won't solve neither security issues or democratic instability even less the environment. it's a tricky and deceitful referendum. unfortunately, own of a job to rankel into last so barely survived than impeachment vote after 2 weeks of cost of living, indigenous lead protests that brought the country to a halt. indigenous leader lay on the death isa is leading the no campaign. he says

the government should instead comply with the agreements that ended the demonstrations. it will be ever imposes the government strategically awards implementing the agreement and comes up with this referendum to confound tanks. all it really wants is to get some oxygen to continue trying, implementing policies that have not worked until now. both polls showed a referendum, results could be very close and on sunday, ecuadorian will all select more than 5000 local officials with the opposition expected to gain seats across the country. even the passing of the referendum might end up being a short lived victory for less. so a listener and petty al jazeera kito chile has extended an emergency alert. as hundreds of wildfires spread at least 22 people have died and nearly a 1000 have been injured. a heat wave is complicating efforts to control the flames which are burning across the central southern regions. an arctic blast, meanwhile,
