or why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah ah! this is the w news live from us fighter jets have shot down a suspected chinese surveillance balloon over its territorial waters. the balloon triggered a diplomatic storm that kept the secretary of state from visiting china to now under way to collect the debris. also coming up,

russia and ukraine make the biggest prison exchange in nearly a war. after intense negotiations, the boring nations patriot, now the 200 captain soldiers sports a day to remember her daughter sebastian allaire, 6 months after being diagnosed with cancer, he scores his 1st club goal in a big way. ah i'm anthony hard working at the program. the united states has shut down the suspected chinese spy balloon that's been traveling across the u. s. over the last few days. authorities temporarily closed the air space over the carolina coastline as the balloon approached the atlantic ocean, where fighter jet finally brought its journey to an end. by jing claims the balloon was a civilian research airship that strayed into u. s. a. space. secretary of state antony lincoln who broke off plants to visit

china earlier this week called the incident a clear violation of us sovereignty under the relationship. and he now, as you, as president joe biden, speaking to reporters about the downing of the suspected on a spiraling morning day when i was break down the balloon, or the pentagon to shoot down one v as soon as possible. decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground and decided that the best time to do that was got over water within our, within 12 mile limit. successively took it down and i want a complimentary graders who did it. and we'll have more to report on a little later now, date of the, as soon as some a scan that has more on how exactly the us military brought down the balloon. so as any, we've learned that according to a senior military official, it was an f 22 fighter jet that took the balloon down with one missile. and at the

time the balloon was travelling at an altitude of around 60000 feet. that's around 18000 meters. in the sky and it was taken down just off the coast of north and south carolina in u. s. territory. that is important because it means it was in us jurisdiction. and the us government actually ordered all flights to be grounded at the 3 airports near by. while this mission was taking place. air traffic has now resumed, and president biden actually gave the green light for the defense department to go ahead and bring down this balloon on wednesday. so it was military leadership that deemed that the risk of taking down this balloon over land was too great because it was so high up and the threat of debris injuring people was great. so they decided to wait until the balloon was over. open water is the reason that's interesting, anthony, is because president biden has been under massive pressure here, particularly by republicans who have accused them of a dereliction of duty for letting this balloon enter. u. s. air space at all. and

they are still criticizing him by the way, even after the shooting down of this balloon, saying that he's been weak in the face of china. but again, the president saying, as we heard him, that sound by he said on wednesday, the military can shoot it down when they deem it is safe. and that moment was on saturday. the speak to the, the pressure that mounted on by me. how important is this balloon? do we think for pentagon as evidence compared to how important it became for the white house as a political theatre? now also, according to the pentagon, they say it's very important. a defense official actually said on saturday. the balloon is of significant intelligence value, and in particular, they are interested in what's called the payload. that is the part just under the balloon that's conducting what the pentagon says is surveillance reports here of indicated that the coast guard and the navy are working as quickly as possible to recover that payload. you might remember that early in the week, the pentagon had originally said that

a spy balloon has only limited capabilities. it doesn't have the counter intelligence capabilities or more high tech device. but still, this is a balloon that traverse montana all the way to the carolinas. and the pentagon said they want to know whatever information was picked up along the way. so again, for the pentagon, this is of significant value. so after days of intrigue, how has this incident affected diplomatic relations thing between the us and china? yet this has been a huge, just diplomatic confrontation for sure. so this trip was highly anticipated. it was seen as an opportunity to finally engage in dialogue again at a time where the u. s. and china are seeing extremely strained relations. so secretary of state, blanca and antony blank, and he already had a list of really thorny issues to address on this trip from the south china sea. to the warn you cranes are wanting china to take a bigger role in deterring russia. and of course taiwan as well, things were already very tense and the fact that

a secretary of state blanket had to cancel that trip is one that just indicates how serious things are. he would have been the highest ranking member of the biden administration to visit china. so this is something that is being seen as a lost opportunity. the lines of communication i should say, between the us and china are still open. that's what the state department said. and they will plan a trip for the secretary of state when the conditions are deemed right. but there's no indication anthony, when that might, might be delivered to me from a scandal in washington. d. c. thanks so much time for a brief look at some of the other stories from around the world now. george's imprisoned former president mikhail 2nd really says he is being poisoned in jail. he asked a court to let him leave georgia for treatment. his lawyer says he could die due to critical white loss successfully is in prison for allegedly abusing his power during his time as president israelis and television. other cities have again taken
