ah, imagine the impact you and your friends can have together we can end global hunger . please download the app. ah ah, this is deed of you news live from berlin. the pentagon says it's detected a 2nd suspected chinese surveillance balloon over latin america. the 1st one floating over the u. s. hard land ignited, a diplomatic storm that's kept the secretary of state from visiting china. plus more u. s. military aid for ukraine. the latest package, nearly doubled,
1:01 pm
keeps striking range against russian forces, which continue attacking a ukrainian stronghold. and its sphere headed the fight against coded reachers. now say a new technology could become an effective weapon against cancer. ah, next by sir. welcome to the program. the pentagon says another suspected chinese spy balloon has been discovered this time flying over latin america. another balloon was seen floating above the u. s. heart land. this parting has complicated washington in beijing's already strained relations and drawn americans attention to the sky. now, there is floating, nearly 2 kilometers above the united states. this balloon is causing major diplomatic problem spec on earth, and i have no idea what it is. first,
1:02 pm
sponsored either montana by curious reason and it's now believed to be a chinese espionage platform. china's decision to fly a surveillance balloon over the continental united states is both unacceptable and irresponsible. that's what this is about is a violation of our sovereignty. so violation of international law. china rejects the spying claims and sees it's a, with a balloon that's be it. of course the white house isn't convinced and a plan diplomatic trip to beijing has been abruptly cooled off. what this is done is created the conditions that undermine the purpose of the trip, including ongoing efforts to build a floor under the relationship and to address a broad range of issues that are of concern to the american people. i believe to the chinese people and certainly as well to people around the world. the trip was expected to be a significant step and improving ties between the 2 countries. that balloon
1:03 pm
deflating those hopes. while some americans are demanding it'd be shot down. these balloons are so huge that even that kind of that number of, of any additions that, that amount of energy this is that towards it is only going to cause a very, very slow leak. and it's not going to come down immediately. you can't just hot the balloon and it's going to go away. while the pentagon sees the balloon poses no physical threat, it's no doubt doing damage to us. china relations relations the u. s. is determined to strengthen amid rising global tensions. and for more inside of this, we're going to go live now to our top pay studio and d, w. east asia correspondent, william yang. william, what effect is canceling this american visit to beijing likely to have to think so it's really showing how shaky the foundation of the bilateral relationship is.
1:04 pm
because a lot of the experts are saying if something as minor at this level, can just stop a highly anticipated trip that has taken both sides a month to prepare. then it really shows that there is basically no common ground for both sides to even start any kind of conversation. and so right now, what is going to constitute the conditions to restart? this message is basically beijing will have to show a more apologetic and lower it stands. and rather than sticking with what it is saying right now, which is that it claims that both either china or the u. s. has not even planned any kind of visit and the news of the visit is unity that are only being shared by the u. s. which is definitely a back walk back from the earlier statements that they've made about blink and visit. and beijing, of course, has been saying it's a whether or not spy balloon is that still the message or you're saying they're not
1:05 pm
messaging in or at all domestically? they are sticking with the explanation and claim that it is still a scientific metro logical balloon. that's basically veered off the original course by accident, but the us finding contradict that because later on they find that the balloon actually changed course. and so this is basically showing that the chinese government official claiming is once again having a lot of holes for being like lighting on the outside world to be skeptical about. and they can't really stand on the ground and we are seeing how they stuffing up their stands and become very defensive about it. and how is this william all being received among china's neighbors and in taiwan, where you are in particular? so the other neighbour neighboring countries are pretty quiet about it. the time ones are foreign ministry did issue a statement, basically criticizing china's move off,
1:06 pm
violating another country's sovereignty and also in shooting another countries, aerospace and basically calling this an uncivilized move that beijing should start immediately. ok, that was william yang 4th from taipei. thanks so much. thank you. and united states has announced a new weapons package for ukraine worth $2200000000.00. it includes new longer range missiles which could double the distance of crank and strike, and put russia, supply lines and eastern ukraine within reach more armoured vehicles and air defense systems are also being provided. the latest package brings a total us support for ukraine since russia's invasion, more than $29000000000.00. and the aid comes as keys forces are struggling against an intensifying russian assault on the city of back loot. ukrainian. president warner zalinski says his forces will hold back mood coding now for as long as we can and military analysts frank lead,
1:07 pm
which is going to join us now for more on this from oxford. frank. up until now, the americans have declined to send ukraine. these longer range missiles for, in their words, fear of provoking russia into escalating the conflict. so was changed? well, nick, the message that you created asked for to call the tech homes. they're still not getting what they are getting are something called the ground, launched small diameter bombs, which about half the range of those for about 93 miles, a 150 kilometers or so. and you yourself hinted at purpose with the high mouse to which these missiles are designed to oriented the other launch systems down to 70 multiple loans, rocket systems. the russians have realized that clearly they've had their logistics wrecked bodies over the last couple of months is mostly deals with, appreciate it. so that moved those logistical basis. further back behind the light . the problem, the russians now is that these log arrange missiles that ukraine is getting 150
1:08 pm
kilometers will now challenge those. and that's really important actually because what it will do is force to russians once again to push back their logistical chain way back behind their lines. if they want them wrecked again, as happened in october, november, december. and just if we may get to back, move were intense fighting as it is continuing. president zalinski saying ukraine will fight for as long as we can. how long will that likely be to think okay, couple of things here as yet the russians have not got into the town of bath, not itself. it's a real dilemma for the ukrainians with for by pretty inform commentators and at least one west intelligence service that the american civil ready advised the ukrainians to, to withdraw from baton on their own terms. and just in case they get surrounded and they can't withdraw on their own terms, withdrawal and defy is very difficult. it needs a lot of planning. so the,
1:09 pm
the calculation that you credit commanders have to make journals, alice ne, soleski, of course, and some of the subordinate commanders is whether it's worth holding on as long as possible and measure enough against the huge cost. at the moment, clearly zalinski indicates they'll be hanging on and just for the bigger picture, if i may know, i know you're not in jo biden's head, but is it fair to assume that washington calculated that? that losing back would've been yes. is a bigger risk than escalating tensions with, with, with russia in terms of providing that extra new weaponry. yeah, i don't see escalation is a real risky. i don't think it's part of your calculations except in so far as the getting the sort of compromise rocket system run ask for much longer range attack box itself is only important strategic in the last of don't ask because of the resources that both sides are put into it, and it's
1:10 pm
a perfect example of military sunk cost. in other words, it's important says it derives after the losses that both sides i've taken so far and that they're willing to expend, to hold on to it. it has no other intrinsic strategic importance, say, as it will give service of ours and give russia a small town. we have taken 6 months to take our boats very ill for them, for the much larger targets beyond their suits. labianca, cremmit horse. ok. military analyst frank leverage. thanks so much for that insight . thank you. let's have a brief look now at some of the other stories from around the world. i see in foreign ministers meeting in jakarta have urged me in march to implement a peace plan, agree with the block in 2021. numerous band from attending the meeting of the southeast asian states in mars, military plunge. the country to chaos went over through the democratically elected government. 2 years ago,

1:12 pm
a year faster than most experts believed possible. and messenger r n. a vaccines were among the 1st to gain approvals. they work by giving the body's immune system a preview of potentially dangerous invaders. a dose contains many copies of a short stretch of precise genetic information. the messenger r n. a. it induces cells to start making proteins that are otherwise only found on a specific pathogen. like the proteins that stud the surface of sars covey to the virus that causes cove at 19. then when the immune system encounters the virus, it quickly recognizes the invader and wipes it out. categorically messenger, any vaccines have proven to be exceptionally affected. they have proven to be able to protect people against severe and life threatening disease and consequently
1:13 pm
save millions of lives. there are different types of r, n a, but all of them are coating molecules and that code can be rewritten. that's why many drug developers describe renee as medicinal software. vaccines that use this software have a major advantage over other platforms. their codes can be easily altered to also make other proteins found on other disease causing microbes, teaching the immune system, how to fight them as well. and are in a can encode for proteins found not just an infectious diseases, but also for instance in cancers. in addition to messenger r n a, a range of other r, n a's play key roles and metabolism and health. so they also have potential as medicines . the cancer application is quite interesting because it is not a vaccine that will prevent cancer. but rather it is
1:14 pm
a therapeutic vaccine. it is a vaccine directed custom tailored to the cancer of the of the patient. which enhances and directs the immune response to more efficiently clear the tumor around 20 or any treatments have been approved so far globally. and dozens more are in trials in a wide range of diseases. and on a colorful note, singapore has hell. his annual parade, celebrating the lunar new year. some $3000.00 performers danced and sang in the event with thousands more watching the display. this year was special because the parade was held live again after a 2 year pause due to the pandemic, the event showcasing a pores, diverse culture with performers from a chinese community. joining ethnic malays, indians and europeans with
