4:07 pm
and few oil, and don't ship, which are found not in compliance will neither have children's financing, and they won't even get everything or the china has accused the united states of overreacting after washington shot down it's balloon at nearly one week after it entered american space. the blame was 1st spotted in fairbanks, alaska. on monday. then on wednesday, it was a neat missoula in montana. the chinese balloon and flight floated rather over kansas city, missouri on friday. by saturday morning, it was cited in the skies over memphis, tennessee, before being shut down by us 5 digits off the coast of south carolina light that evening. china. and if it was a weather balloon that strayed off course petticoat lane has moved a clear shot as it happened, a missile hit the high altitude balloon, 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 me again. i knew it was
4:08 pm
a missile and you can see the explosion. i should have shot at that winning thing. instead of letting it travel all the way across, you thought it was just i think it's terrible that they let it get this far start with. and what i've heard are 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 wednesday, decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground and decided that the best time to do that would be we got over water within our, within 12 mile limit, successively took it down, the pentagon says in f $22.00 fighter jet launched a single missile to bring the balloon down into us territorial waters. pentagon officials say 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 and
4:09 pm
u. s. coast guard ships on the scene. they plan to use us navy divers and unmanned submersible to bring it to the surface in the next few days. and then the us 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 it. 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. it seems a little bit far fetched. but us analysts say the fact that they believe a similar balloon is travel in latin america makes this theory more likely. i did not believe that it was just a weather balloon loan. of course, it would be quite a coincidence if we have this loon going into u. s. air space. while apparently there's another one crossing latin america
4:10 pm
a 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. let's get the latest now from mike hannah, who joins us live from washington day. same mike, certainly lots of speculation around this alone, but spying is not unusual. is it not at all, all sides in all conflicts or in all diplomatic initiatives? are generally spying on each other, but the form that this took, according to us officials, is somewhat unusual. given the highly visible nature of the method of spying, which the u. s. claims the chinese were doing a balloon even at high altitudes, was visible to the naked eye. so that is hardly a cobar type operation,
4:11 pm
particularly as the balloon has been used before by china. several times since balloons over time one, whether or not those were spy balloons or a weather balloons, as china contends that's open to contention. but the important fact now is that the balloon came down in some 40 feet of water off the carolina coast, which makes it easier to get the debrief from that particular craft, even though it spread over some 9 nautical miles. so it is fairly widely dispersed . however, getting the remnants of the cropped will go a long way or perhaps be complete proof as to what the balloon was doing. whether or not it was a spy balloon. or as the chinese insist, a scientific operation. and just on that decision to shoot the balloon down, what went in to that? well, we now know that president biden was informed about the balloon on wednesday,
4:12 pm
although its existence was only made public on thursday after it had been spotted in the sky by members of the public. now, president biden makes clear that he instructed the military to take the balloon done, but he left the decision of when and where to do so. to the military, the military contending that to bring it down over land may endanger civilians on the ground. and given the fact that you looking at a dispersal of some 9 nautical miles, then that would have been a real possibility. so the decision was taken to wait until it went out to see, take it down over water, which would minimize the risk of civilian casualty and also possibly make the collection of deborah from the balloon a little bit easier. have that get muffled by the water as it hits the sea. so that decision was taken instantly by biden, to shoot down the a croft he says, however, it was a military who took the final decision when and where to do it. alright,
4:13 pm
appreciate the update as always my can i in washington d. c. thank you. and katrina you is in beijing with more on china's reaction to the downing of the balloon. trying to condemn the strike against the ship, calling it an over reaction and violation of each national practice. trying to foreign ministry for it has read is rated that they did not learn that it is a civilian as ship that was blowing cold by a strong win for may. an accident is what they're calling it now. enriched originally we had a fairly soft regrettable turn from china, but now that is shifted to a more defensive. and they saying that us politicians are taking advantage of this situation to discredit an attack china. and we've also heard from china that the top one has spoken over the phone with entities lincoln. they said that he called a cool heads over the math and that communication channel should be kept open to avoid misjudgment. then he repeated again,
4:14 pm
trying to ground the accusation. we've also heard from chinese media now try me in saying that this whole incident is essentially saying that us media outlets completion allies in the person trying to thread. and only making things was between the 2 countries. plenty more head on the news hour, including the head of the roman catholic church, wraps up with the 2000 students, renewing his coal to pay a call for justice in iraq after a young youtube blogger is killed by her father. and in support will show you one of the best tries you ever see in run these 6 nations that's coming up with a iranian state television says the country supreme later, ayatollah ali common

4:31 pm
a pakistani president, perv is most sheriff has died after a long illness. he had been living in devices 2016 after being found guilty of treason and sentence to death, according pakistan, overturned. that's influencing. 2020. for more on the story list, bringing my rein. malik adam, she served as a general secretary of new sheriffs, l. pakistan, the muslim league party, and joins us live from islam about buffering. thanks so much for being on the program. certainly with a controversial figure, he face charges of the death of a former prime minister, as we just mentioned in a case of not doing enough to men ties with india. but how will you remember him and what was it like working for him? thank you. so much for giving me the opportunity to be on the show and talk to you and tell you what am i and i will read back,
4:32 pm
no doubt it was quite a tuition, but i will lend raz i had worked with him for 8 years as a woman as a pockets donnie. i did team work. i think she was a magnificent man, a man who are the 2 pages of the country who loved loved his country. so why remember him and come to a little bit there, but this is these other goods and all the gym. and i guess if we look at what he did domestically, what did you say that he's legacy was there, there were some positive attributes in terms of his domestic policies and also including women's rights of course. so gee, has worked tremendous the in for women and parliament. he was the best leader because who read the women of pockets on this edition in department we were we
4:33 pm
are was just a deposit and we were a team member in the law making in the legislature. we were given this opportunity but no one else. then during his renewal, the media flourished, the chemical picked up sluggish. the farmers of the country, they bought benefited by their policy. and a lot of work was done in the sector. so domestically i think its policies are excellent. and almost, even if i, if you talk right. sure. last 5 year look at the new book, the voted mediate of his. but i guess his career ultimately ended in disgrace and arrest. let's talk about his legacy internationally. now he was an ally of the united states, particularly the bush administration. and that led to criticism at home when he did, he did a lot of criticism yet, but at the time,
4:34 pm
i think the decision he made was the best of an interest for the country and people because war and tender he had to, you know, side by political, he had to, he had to look after the people at the church. so it wasn't taken in a very spirit by the people at home. but eventually we all had better. there is and we had to stand up against him. there was any other direct that point it he would have more to take the same decision. right? well, we can't speak for them, but what do you think of the late is if they are to reflect on his time in power, what do you think modern dilate his can take away from what lessons he learnt when he was he was when i would check with him and talk to him,
4:35 pm
the more the that the and how to get at that time. that was one of his otherwise whatever he's getting for the people, the pocket done, the policies he made. whatever lucky did you. but he was always out of his decisions and he made the decision for the interest can be read while we really appreciate your insight. thank you for your time. marine malik adam, who was the general secretary of michelle office, l. pakistan. muslim league, thanks so much. thank you so much. thanks. protests are being held in iran, contra young youtube blogger was killed by her father. he admitted to strangling too early on wednesday in the so called on killing. the father was reportedly upset about his daughter's decision to live in tech year. the 22 year old flayed from her family after accusing her brother of sexually assaulting her mood de la head as
4:36 pm
mort from seen him back. that as you can see right behind lead those rights advocate activists and human rights. members, there are message today, is it clear to the iraqi judiciary, the want, the judiciary to a change or amend article number 4 or and 9 of iraq's penal code, which as they say, gives a green light, some kind of a green light for fathers and brothers to kill their sister or daughter at that p. tickets of all, not killing they have been chanting a little while ago. that's not a killer. there is no own our own killing. they say that they are addressing the government, the parliament just re counted today in order to set rules to protect women from domestic violence. as you can see, light behind me,
4:37 pm
they have been raising bad notice. have been raising by notice to demand justice for the death of the ally 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. polls have opened in ecuador, where people are voting for local officials and constitutional reforms. many observers see the referendum as a test for president guillermo last, so whose approval writing sits at less than 20 percent will than 13000000 people are registered to participate in the polls is alexandra ram, p a. t for, for apathy and frustration are on the rise among voters in quito ahead of sundays, wide ranging referendum, promoted by embattled press. you didn't get more lasso to address the countries deteriorating, social and economic conditions. so like i said,
4:38 pm
we have no faith in politicians for all the scandals that happened recently. people has lost trust and politics. it goes on with an approval rating below 20 percent, a hostile congress, mounting government corruption allegations and dramatic rise and gang related crime . conservative president lasso has been left with little face to maneuver that the 8 referendum questions which cover security issues. reducing the number of lawmakers in congress, environmental protection, and the possible extradition of ecuadorian could help him regain initiative. when we call upon us with those popular popular consultations usually become a referendum on the current administration. but in this case, despite the president's major last in political capital, the referendum has strong support because it addresses funded mental issues for the people's game. the critics argue that last was hoping to use the referendum for a personal political when a way to try to boost to port for his failing presidency,
4:39 pm
to the detriment of the countries democracy was bullied because the former president of ecuador is constitutional assembly says the reduction of assembly members will reduce representation of remote areas and strength in the hands of the most powerful parties. the stomach for one consult up to get the you know, not 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 antics as carefully you see, it won't solve the security issues with democratic instability even less the environment. it's a tricky and deceitful referendum. unfortunately, all of 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. the indigenous leader lay only thus isa is leaving the no campaign. he says the government should instead comply with the agreements that ended the
4:40 pm
