hello and welcome to all of you watching new state and canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," another shoot-down. this time the unidentified object was in the skies over northern canada. we'll look at the differences. plus we'll take you live to istanbul with a look at incredible stories of hope and survival still coming from turkey six days after the deadly earthquake. and ukraine is facing a new barrage of russian strikes in kyiv. we'll show you the latest on the front lines. ♪ we're working to learn more details about what caused canadian and u.s. fighter jets to be scrambled saturday and

what triggered the shooting down of another unidentified object over canada. prime minister justin trudeau and president biden agreed to the shoot-down. trudeau said the latest object violated canada's airspace. >> it will be supported by the canadian armed forces in conjunction with the rcmp. this coordinated operation will allow a further investigation into this object. we have no further details about the object at this time other than it appears to be a small cylindrical object and smaller than the one that was downed off the coast of north carolina. there's no reason to believe the

impooskact of the object in can is of public concern. >> it's not clear if all three unidentified objects are related. we have more. >> reporter: president biden and canadian prime minister justin trudeau agreed to the shoot-down on saturday. it was the third time in a week that u.s. fighter jets were scramble fog shoot down an object that haddon tered u.s. airspace. the object shot down saturdayover canada had first been spotted over alaska friday night according to the pentagon and it was ultimately shot down by fighter jets over canada after being observed for 2424 horses. u.s. and canadian officials say they're not clear what the object is but it comes one day after the white house and pentagon revealed president biden ordered another unidentified object shot down off the coast of alaska. sources say for that object, some pilots sent up to

investigate it reported that their aircraft sensors had been impacted and others said it was not clear how the object was propelling itself. the canadian incident comes exactly one week after the u.s. military on biden's orders shot down a chinese spy balloon off the coast of north carolina. ite note clear whether the object shot down o over canada on saturday is related to the downed balloon or object on friday, but u.s. officials said on saturday the fbi will be helping to recover and analyze the debris in all three incidents to try to get batter sense of what these objects are and what they're capable of. natasha bertrand, cnn, washington. iain boyd is at the center of initiatives at the university of colorado and he joins me now. thanks so much for being here. first of all, what do you make of these new unidentified objects? any idea what they could be and how different they are from the first balloon that was shot

down? >> well, from the reports that have been released so far, it sounds like these balloons, number two and three, are much smaller than the first one, so the first one was described as being the size of three buss in terms of the payload that's underneath the balloon itself. and then these newer more recent balloons are being described as the size of a small car. so that's -- maybe they're ten times smaller, so certainly they're going to be doing something very different with such different size, and it also sounds like they were flying, the newer ones, at lower altitude, at 14,000 feet instead of 60, 65,000 feet. there's clearly some differences in terrells of the size and how they're being operated. but that's about as much as we know for now. >> teen fact that they're being referred to as objects and not necessarily as balloons seems

strange. and then we have different accounts of what the pilots are telling us about what happened when they came near it. some said itfered with their sensors. what do you make of that? >> if that's true, that suggests that the payloads on these newer balloons are emitting some kind of electromagnetic signals that's ushlgd the general heading of general electronic ware fare. it's used bymy tairs all across the world, and jamming is one example of that. so at the very least that suggested that there's a lot of electrical activity on those newer balloons. >> so looking at the bigger picture, what's going on here? is it all of a sudden china -- we assume they're from china -- is ramping up what appears to be a surveillance campaign or now we're aware of these spy balloons, we're now on the

lookout for them or at least the public is being told about them? >> i think it's probably a little bit of all of those things. i certainly think it seems clear now that the u.s. is shooting first and asking questions later. you know, i think that's partly because, you know, the u.s. and canada and some of the countries down in south america are on heightened alert because of the first balloon. the skies are being watched more carefully than usual. and then obviously in the u.s. there's been mounting political pressure to act more quickly. and then at the same time, china's denials, i think, with the multiple balloons and those denials, it's -- you know, it's increasing suspicions that there's a campaign of surveillance being conducted here. >> you mentioned some of the u.s. allies here. clearly this requires the cooperation of other nations, particularly canada in terms of

surveillance and response. is norad up to it? >> well, i'm sure norad's up to it. you know, the shooting down today over canada is probably, you know, a strong reflection that aligns between u.s. and canada. you know, at the same time, i think part of the story appears to be here that, you know, when objects of a certain size are being detected, they' tend to b let go in the past. so with the first balloon, i think it seems like it was certainly detected up in alaska and just allowed to continue on its path. you know, this may stamp on the fact that weather balloons are used a lot and they probably are detected by norad and other defensive tracking capabilities and maybe they've just been let go because they're assumed to be

benign. there's a possibility that, you know, china has realized that this is a little bit of a chink in the armor. >> yeah, absolutely. it sounds like we're going to see a lot more of this. is this evidence that china and other nations are prioritizing the stratosphere, the so-called near space and turning it's essentially into a new battlefield? explain why that is, and what do you think is next? >> i think the first balloon just taken as an example flying at 65,000 feet, you know, that's much higher than regular airplanes fly, but it's not in space. and so in some ways, that's what we call a seam. it's a crack in the defensive posture of all nations really. we're not used to looking in that area. it's also an area where another technology, hypersonic weapons, are often deployed and operated

too. and so i think that there is an increasing understanding in the u.s. for sure that we have to develop capabilities to better track that. >> absolutely. all right. we'll have to leave it there, but we really appreciate your analysis. iain boyd, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. ♪ almost 150 hours after that powerful earthquake destroyed parts of turkey and syria, turkish state media reports that a 35-year-old man has been rescued from the rubble of a chanced building. he's one of the latest survivors of monday's disaster, which so far has killed more than 28,000 people. now, the tragedy continues. you can feel the agony there. a woman is crying over the body of a relative who was pulled lifeless from the rubble. others desperately wait by the

ruins hoping their loved ones will be found alive. cnn's nada bashir joins us live from istanbul. nada, more than 100 hours after the quake hit, people are still being pulled alive from the rubble is. that giving some families hope? >> reporter: these are small but remarkable instances of hope for many people in southeastern turkey waiting for any news of their loved ones still missing, still believed to be buried beneath the rubble. and we are still seeing some of those survivors being pulled out. just this morning a 10-year-old girl was rescued 147 hours after being buried beneath the rubble, six days after the earthquake hit on monday. so it is remarkable to see these rescues still taking place, but, of course, as the days go on and the death toll climbs, hopes are dwindling. people are still waiting for

loved ones. there are many impacted by the earthquake and did survive, but are now facing the tragedy, the reality of being homeless, facing the frigid temperatures of southeastern turkey. and those in southwestern syria, of course, already have faced years and years of war at the hands of president al asad's brutal regime, now facing the worst tragedy this nation has seen in a century. those rescue efforts are continuing in southeastern turkey with the support of many international teams. take a look. a call for silence. a moment of desperate hope. then cheers of relief. a woman rescued from beneath the rubble after 132 hours. but in turkey, the search and rescue effort is quickly turning

into a recovery effort. here the grief is overwhelming. a gut-wrenching scene reflected across the expanse of quake zone, not least in northwestern syria. the u.n. says at least 22 aid trucks were finally able to make it across the turkish border on saturday, but despite the arrival of humanitarian assistance, teen white helmets who have been central to syria's rescue effort have lost all hope of finding any more survivors. six days on and the death toll continues to climb. the turkish president erdogan announces the latest death toll. authorities are looking for answers. turkey state officials say turkey has arrested a number of individuals believed to be responsible for the construction of now destroyed buildings.

as a multi-region investigation continues into allegations of negligence. meanwhile reports of looting and criminal activity have forced some the international search-and-rescue teams to suspend their operations in turkey. president erdogan vowing to hand out tough penalties, but for some, grief is turning to angle. with questions now mounting over whether enough was done by the government to prepare for the very worst. a and, look, kim, as this quickly shifts to a recovery effort, there is a growing sense of anger and questions whether the government could have done more to prepare for a disaster like this. the government itself says it is carrying out investigations into allegations of negligence. already several people have been arrested, according to authorities. and in the city, at least 62

detention notices have already been issued. they are sentencing people to prison for allegations of negligence. that investigation continues. and, in fact, they've also imposed travel bans on some suspected individuals. one man yesterday was arrested at istanbul international airport appearing to flee to montenegro. clearly there is work by the government to bring people to justice. there are questions not only on whether the government could have done enough to prepare for this disaster, but also whether aid and response of the government came about quickly enough not only in turkey, but also, of course, in northwestern syria where we saw the huge lag in time to get aid across the border from turkey into syria, and, of course, questions around the syrian government while we have seen delays into damascus

and rebel-held territories. >> thanks so much. as nada mentioned, aid can't come soon enough. millions depended on foreign aid before the quake hit. many were already displaced by the country's long-running civil war. now they could find themselves homeless again as make sit camps go up next to the rubble. meanwhile flights like this one from the united arab emirates is bringing in supplies from lebanon. aid can be sent to rebel-held territory but won't go to what it teams terrorist groups. it fears it will cut off supplies to is tame people subjected to heavy bombing and brutal attacks for years. as syrians and turks wait on foreign aid, the humanitarian group direct relief is sending me medical items and other vital

items. >> we're standing amid tons of items all the way from turkey to syria. if we show you what i have on my left, these are disaster supplies for doctors, first responders, each pal let weighing about 151 kilograms. to my right, these are for families, people living in football stadiums or what's left of them in tent cities. we actually unpacked a few of these pal lots to show you what's inside. these are inside the white pallets. doctors, first responders. if you look in here, this compartment for addressing wounds, bandages, all you could possibly need in such a horrific disaster zone. we have over-the-counter medication, cleaning supplies, even in this pocket, for taking blood pressure, anything first responders need. this is for families. we have solar lights, hair brushes, toothpaste in addition

to about a dozen other items. spoke with the ceo of this organization of direct relief a couple of hours ago. he told us when these items are loaded, he's not thing about freight but each face of each and every individual who will use them. take a listen. >> i try to take a moment for what it means to people i don't know but having a sense that this is a light-bulb turning event, life-ending event for many people. so after that then you just -- it kicks into gear. >> reporter: so this is the packing in process in southern california. all of these supplies will be loaded onto a nonstop flight to l.a.x. to istanbul. it will take about four days for all of these supplies to reach the disaster zone. just to show you what else we have here, acres and acres of square footage just covering this part of santa barbara.

before this disaster there were supplies being sent to syria for the cholera outbreak. in january when we had atmospheric river after atmospheric river, there were supplies being sent up and down the coast of kachlt people said if this happened here in this seismically active region of the world t rest of the international community would have our backs too. mike valerio, cnn, santa barbara, california. if you're looking for information on how to help, you can go to cnn.com/impact, and there you can find a list of organizations that are working on rescue and relief efforts. one anonymous donor is setting a very high bar for generosity. the unidentified pakistani man walked into the turkish embassy in washington and donate 30d million for earthquake victims. the prime minister tweeted the news on saturday praising the man for the kind of glorious

we're getting word of a barrage of attacks. the attack left one person injured and buildings and residential buildings damaged. david mckenzie is in ukraine tracking developments and he joins us now from kyiv. first, david, what's been the impact of the barrage of drone and missile strikes over the past few days? >> reporter: well, kim t impact has not been nearly as severe as russia would have hoped because it has been trained for several

months of russian forces using missile strikes to try to target the civilian infrastructure of this country in the dead of winter, particularly hydro and thermal or coal plants. there was some success from russian missile strikes, but certainly the majority of those missiles and drones were shot down friday into saturday, and it speaks to the sophistication of the ukrainian air system at this point a year into the conflict, and the proof of that in a way is that the kyiv region and the capital here where i am as well as other parts of the country are not seeing any planned blackouts. the minister of energy saying despite those attacks, they are able to produce the amount of power that the country needs, and he attributed that to, in part, the rapid repair of some of the systems. so the aim of the russian forces

at this point does not seem to be working despite those multiple strikes that we saw at the beginning of this weekend. kim? >> all right. and then, david, in the east, word of russian reverses there. so bring us up to speed. >> reporter: maybe not reverses but the attempt to push through the front line in the eastern part of this campaign. it's a small town but very strategically important for both sides because of its proximity to supply lines and also a gateway to push feather west from a russian perspective. it's difficult to ascertain exactly the details of the mechanized attacks by the russians given that we're far from the area, but the available video evidence and even russian sources saying that they have suffered heavy losses because of strikes and artillery strikes on

those russian forces trying to push through the front line potentially as an early start to a major campaign. the worth in temps of losses since the beginning of the war. the ukrainians are taking heavy casualties. it speaks to the grind and attrition of this conflict. both have become dug in in the frozen eastern front at this point in the war. any major moves will be very challenging, but as we approach the anniversary of the war, you know, vladimir putin will look to have a win, to show something to his population that this war is anything other than a waste. kim? >> all right. david mckenzie, thanks so much. in france more than 900,000 people took to the streets in a fourth round of protest against pension reforms. have a look here.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in canada, the united states, and all around

the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." for the third time in a week a us fighter jet has shot down an unidentified object in airspace. it was taken down by u.s. f-22 fighter jet over the yukon in northwest canada. trudeau and biden authorized the strike by the countries' shared defense organization norad. it follows the downing of another unidentified object on friday in alaska and the shoot-down of a suspected chinese surveillance balloon last saturday off the coast of north carolina. it's not clear yet if the incidents are related. cnn's arlette saenz is at the white house with the latest on this developing story. >> reporter: president biden and canadian prime minister justin trudeau took a very rare step on saturday and jointly authorized the shooting down of an unidentified object over northern canada. this marks the third time in the

last week where the u.s. has had to shoot down an aerial object over north america. according to the pentagon, norad first detected this latest object on friday evening over alaska. after they monitored it, they saw that it crossed over into canadian airspace, and the president and canadian prime minister spoke and decided to follow the advice of their military officials and decided to authorize shooting it down. it wuls at that time that canadian and american fighter jets through nor raid worked together to try to take down this object with ultimately an american and f-22 shooting it down. it follows the shooting down of another unidentified object near the coast of alaska and just prior to that ordered the shooting down of that suspected chinese spy balloon off the coast of the carolinas. now, the white house still -- and pentagon still have many questions to answer relating to

these last two unidentified objects including the scope, the size, the origin, and what exactly the purpose was. arlette saenz, cn, the white house. canada's national minister of defense says the military strike on saturday was the first instance of norad downing an object in canadian airspace. earlier we asked mary schiavo to weigh in on the significance of this. here she is. >> reporter: more important, we're downing objects. don't know and haven't identified what they were yet. depending on which briefing you review, some of them say they did enter our airspace before we were actually aware of them entering the united states airspace which, you know, is of great concern because i'm up here working in alaska, and obviously it's hugely important to american defense. there's tremendous military presence. in anchorage yesterday and today, for example, there were

awax reconnaissance planes up, the skies were full. there were a lot of military aircraft coming and going to, ant you can't really overestimate the value of the alaska defense system and alaskan defense system in alaska. it's very important on all of those fronts. the description of the object and the fact that the pilots really couldn't describe it is not surprising. the weather has been rather poor here in alaska in the area around anchorage. we've had heavy, heavy snowfall. more unusually cold and heavy weather. the skies have been very cloudy. so the fact that the pilots really couldn't see the objects too well is not surprising. >> we'll have more on this top story in about 30 minutes on "cnn this morning." just ahead, new developments in the ongoing federal investigation into the handling of classified documents. we'll have a report from washington coming up. stay with us.

december and january. also a laptop belonging to one of trump's aides. at the same time one of trump's attorneys appeared before a federal grand jury as part of the investigation into the president's handling of sensitive records, and prosecutors asked him what happened in the lead-up and conversations. meanwhile the fbi was at pence's home on friday and additional documents were uncovered as well. what this document is related to or its level of sensitivity, the fact that they located an additional document after it was searched by his own lawyers will likely prolong the justice department's review of the issue. this giggs could complicate their run in 2024. they'll try to wrap it up as soon as possible. we're learning a second attorney for donald trump has appeared in the grand jury into

have a winning record. this game is about as close as it gets. it could very well come down to which quarterback, mahomes or jalen hurts, can lead that game-winning drive? the fourth quarter. and when it comes to experience, mahomes certainly has it over hurts. this is going to be hurts' first super bowl appearance in his second full year as a starter for the eagles. both quarterbacks have been talking about the matchup all week. mahomes said earlier playing on super bowl sunday, it's always super special. >> you play and you work your tail off to be in this game and to play on the world stage, and you dream about it as a little kid when you're watching at super bowl parties with your dad and euro mom and everybody like that. so to be able to play in this game is truly special and you appreciate it every single time. i'm excited to step back on that field and get to go out with my teammates one last time. >> reporter: mahomes was named

the nfl mvp this week over jalen hurts. that might bring bad luck. the last nine mvps who played in the super bowl all lost. have to go back to 1999 when an mvp won. we'll see if anyone can break that losing streak. it's probably patrick mahomes. >> that's exactly right. now, the biggest story line over the past few weeks has been mahomes and jaylen hurts. the 57th super bowl but it's the first time two black quarterbacks will face each other on the stage. but even one has been a rarity. >> reporter: that's right, kim. you knew it was bound to happen at some point in this day and age in the nfl with so many talented black quarterbacks in the league. but as you mentioned, it hasn't happened very often. oven vechb played in the super bowl before. doug williams was the first for washington back in 1988. he was the first quarterback to

play in the quarterback and win the game as he did so thattee. three black quarterbacks have won it including mahomes. so if jalen hurts is able to do it today, he would become the fourth black quarterback ever to win the super bowl. but, again, this is a historic matchup as this is the first time the two have ever faced off against each other. we'll see more history in the super bowl later on today as jordan mailata, the ee gaggles' offense issue lineman is going to be the first australian player to ever play in the game. and coach nick sierianni said mailata was blessed by god with so many talents. he's a singer. he's now one of the best offensive linemen in the nfl. he was drafted in the last round in 2018, and before that he was just doing odd jobs to try to get by. he was asked earlier this week if someone would have told him back then he was playing in the

super bowl, he wouldn't believed it at all. take a listen. >> i can't say that in front of the cameras. no. if somebody told me that, i would be like which ones are you smoking on because i don't know what the super bowl is. are you talking about the concert at halftime? i was a scaffolder, stage builder, demolition expert, and a junior -- i wouldn't even call myself a junior carpenter. i was there helping the carpenter do his job, do you want me to pick this up? i think the hardest part was waking up at 4:30, man. that was the hardest part. >> so jordan mailata a man of many talents and now he finds himself competing in the super bowl. certainly a fun guy to root for. >> yeah, absolutely, absolutely. it's obviously very early over there. the excitement just building throughout the day, but i can't

let you go without letting you get your pick. who do you think is going to win? >> reporter: so i actually picked the chiefs to win the super bowl before the season even started, so i'm sticking with it. i'm staying with patrick mahomes and andy reid. i think he's the best quarterback in the nfl. if he wants to continue to cement his legacy hrk e needs to get a win here today. >> i can't argue with you. i'm picking the chiefs as well. thank you so much, andy. i really appreciate having you on. >> all right. like we were saying with andy there, today's super bowl will be the first time that the starting quarterbacks are black. listen to this. >> i think it's historic, historic. it's a reminder of what's to come. so many kids out there, so many kids who may be told to change their position or do whatever it is, but it can be done, it can be done, and this is a historic moment. i know it will be a show. it will be a fun one. >> it's a historic moment, and

to be a part of it with two historic football teams, it's only the people who laid the foundation before us, and to be playing with a guy like jalen who i know is doing it the right way, it's going to be spatial moment that i hope lives on forever. >> earlier cnn spoke with doug williams, the former washington redskins who was the first black quarterback to start and win the super bowl. he was also the mvp of super bowl xxii. he was asked why it took to long to get two black quarterbacks face each other in the championship. here he is. >> when you look at these two guys, it's not like they came through the back door or anything like that. these guys have played well all year long. jalen, 16-1. patrick has been doing it for the last five years. it just so happens they're both are black and they're playing in the biggest game of the year. if you look at that, that is a historical moment. why is it historic? because it never happened. we've got to look at things like

that, the fact that they're two black quarterbacks, they're playing in it. a lot of people might look at it a little different, but alt the end of the day, it's history for all of us. i'm in a position, i'm not pulling for either one of these guys because i feel like i've already won just to see these two black guys make history tomorrow. in that case, i hope it's a great game. we know it won't end in a tie. at the end of the day, whatever happens, whoever wins, just hope both of them hug in the middle of the field. >> let's take a look at this year's super bowl by the numbers am recent poll found that only 58% of respondents said their favorite part of the super bowl was the game itself. 24% said it was the commercials. 13% said it was the halftime show. now, a 30-second commercial during today's game will set you b back $7 million. compare that to the first commercial in 167 when it cost $383,000 in today's dollars.

then another poll asked what foods people eat during the game. 675% said chips and dip. 59% said chicken wings. another 59% said pizza, and 56% said dessert. the biggest 13 minutes of this year's game might turn out to be the halftime show. the one and only rihanna takes the stage, her first live public performance in years. cnn's entertainment reporter chloe melas breaks down what we can expect to see. >> it will rihanna, it's been seven years since she's toured, seven years since she put out an album. she just had a baby a few months ago, her first child, and she's going to get up there and perform a medley of her hits. and she talked earlier this week at a press conference how hard it is to put her career into just 13 minutes and how hard it's been to pick songs. take a listen. >> oh, my god.

there are probably about 39 versions of the set right now. i mean every little change counts. whether i want a guitar cut out, something muted, something added, or just put in a whole new song or take out a whole song. like every time i make a change, something has to be updated and that's a new version. >> reporter: so in this interview she also talked about the fact that she just did have a baby and when she got the phone call, she was like, are you really sure? she said she's had this burst of energy. that's all she's thought about. she hasn't thought about her birthday or anything going on in her life other than obviously her family, and it's all been super bowl. you've heard if there these performers it's all consuming. there's so much rehearsal that goes into this. you're going to see country superstar chris stapleton singing the "national anthem."

babyface at some point, cheryl lee ralph. you're going to see a lot of famous faces. i've got to say, rihanna is going to knock it out of the park, knock it out of the stadium. well, every super bowl some animal somewhere tries to predict the winner, so these are the latest ones. meet bakari, the baby giraffe who chose kansas city by munching on leaves next to the chiefs logo. and the zoo says their animals have picked nine of the past 12 super bowls. have rudy the orangutan at the kansas zoo who picked the chiefs that had the box of lettuce inside. but before the big game, there will be another kind of ferociousness on the field as the puppy bowl makes its return this year. the annual competition is held on every super bowl sunday with the aim at promoting adoption, and the day's event will have more than 120 rescue dogs, 11

that have been classified as dogs with special needs. they have a kitty halftime show for cat lovers so people can adopt kittens from different shelters. that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. you can follow me on twi twitter @kimbrunhuber. "cnn this morning" is next.
