5:17 am
the korean pleasure and china isn't cold last the sunny. although this paul apply, which means it would be a bit gray for good part of china. now there's heavy rain full cost for the sums. philippines may be bits, bornea still away. see. and the east side of indonesia, this is heavy rain and we've seen of late. so the flood risk comes with that. a few shall maybe in the fall, northeast of india and the baton weather probably fall as though otherwise this is looking fine, quiet and dry. the wind is up and the northern plane of india, which is probably a good thing because of course, you know, says the place where air quality is so poor. so when you get forecast goodwin's by day, tends to churn up the air and improve the quality, at least for a while, the snow on its way in for chemist down and it will keep going and might just reach the far north of pakistan. ah
5:18 am
oh on a ah ah lou ah, we'll come back a quick reminder about top stories here this hour a week since earthquake struck turkey and syria, the death toll from
5:19 am
a disaster has surpassed. 35000 people rescue workers continuous search through rubble. but chances of finding any one else alive is becoming more remote. b, u. n. z. a chief admits the international community has failed. nolan syria unions hoping to open more border crossings into syria to bring in urgently needed even a terrier supplies. now the u. s. is announced that yet another unidentified high altitude object has been shut down. it's the 3rd such incident in as many days. the latest intersection took place of a lake huron, north of detroit. it was 1st detected of montana on saturday and was not considered to be a military threat. let's bring in imo clink. he's a former us deputy assistant secretary defense for he stays that he joins his live now from washington dc. hi, no good to help you with a fellow. the u. s. military says it shut down 4 of these things, including the balloon that the chinese have owned up to. but are we any closer to finding out what these objects are? i mean, the head of, nor at earlier said it wasn't ruling out aliens and that seems a bit far fetched,
5:20 am
doesn't it? indeed it does. you know, that far fetched and i think most americans are anxiously waiting to hear their elected officials tell them what's going on. it's rather odd, frankly that spanish 3 days at the u. s. air force shoot down 3 objects in the air. and our government has yet to sell us anything about, or if there's a continued threat, what is the origin of these aircraft and the like. i know that's an important point to make because the pentagon has been quite tight lipped about what these things are. is this all part of the intelligence gathering game say nothing just to keep the other side guessing, perhaps i think it is part of the intelligence process. i think what the government is currently challenged with is what to release publicly without compromising our sources and methods. this of course is
5:21 am
something that i support wholeheartedly because we do not want to provide our adversaries insights as to what we can detect what we can't detect, how we obtain certain types of information. nonetheless, it is now in fact hi time for the government to say something. and senate majority that chuck schumer says us intelligence officials believe the other objects. we're also surveillance balloons. he says it's likely that china is using a fleet of these global surveillance cross. how probable is this high? i mean, china certainly has the technical know how to do this, though. well, it is now known, it's been a publicly reported that the chinese have had a very robust system of utilizing balloons for surveillance in the sovereign air space of other countries. reportedly,
5:22 am
the chinese have violated the air space of over 40 countries worldwide. utilizing the system of surveillance buildings, i think that while we know that the balloon that were shot, that on the 4th of february, off the coast, south carolina was such a good. we believe that at the same time those and other pollutants lying. ready or south america, it was similar, we don't know is, or at least what has not yet been released publicly. is the last 3 year craft that were shot down over north american air space. what is the origin and what is the type of aircraft that those 3 were? i know, just a final thought to you. i mean, there are reports now coming out that these kinds of savannah balloons have been appearing over us guys for years. do you think there's been some kind of failure by the u. s. military on the intelligence agencies to find them in the past? i mean, many experts say, look, these balloons and nothing new. so i will tell you that during my servicing
5:23 am
government, so i was unaware of any such intrusions into our sovereign air space by chinese bulls. if there's now new information, again, that would be interesting to see what channels be released to the public. so we have a better understanding of the threat that united states faced. regardless, i think that what we know is the loom that was shot down on the 4th. the february was chinese. that in and of itself is just the manifestation of the increasing aggression and adventurous and assertiveness that the chinese have been utilizing across the globe high, not playing when you get your thoughts and your analysis. thank you very much. indeed for talking about 0. i know thank you. thank you. israel is cabinet has recognized 9 illegal settler outposts in the occupied westbank despite past u. s. opposition. a far right minister also said $10000.00 housing units could be

5:25 am
minister is a prime minister who is under investigation. our criminals who were convicted criminals is really not code. and that if, you know, of course, so this is an escalation, this will increase the level of violence against the property of the city and what they do, the more that is due, the more land they more violence, i guess a lot or i guess because the city will continue to exist, so there's this, whatever they have in order to protect their lives and their property. yes, violence is going to be the, the, the, the news of the day for a long time as long as it's a list, shy away from peace and talking real peace with the policy. now the biggest night, an american sport, the super bowl is underway in arizona. the philadelphia eagles are checking on the kansas city chiefs and the battle between 2 american footballs, most dominant team. so far the eagles are ahead. 2721. in the 3rd quarter,
