chinese territory. something that is being flatly denied here by don kirby, the spokesman for the top security advisory board for the united states president. so to the americans are denying that the national security council is denying it. and that's where both sides stand. this is a diplomatic stand off. and just to illustrate that we're talking about a lot more than some balloons or some spying here. both sides do not have a hotline. if there is any kind of miscommunication over taiwan over any kind of military linked incident, they simply cannot directly call each other. this would have to go through diplomacy and that would take a long time. so that is actually a very high risk of an escalation. even military escalation, if anything is added on top of this balloon incident and board clearly at the very least misunderstandings, at worst, actually attempts to target each other politically leading to more disconnect between these 2 remaining world powers. thank you so much for karen kind of in washington. i'm when i'm with sport, the kansas city chiefs saw the american super bowl super bowl champ ends after beating the philadelphia, eagles, and arizona. but for some, the super bowl night was all about th

sure that our president and secretary of state are communicated indirectly to the chinese communist party leadership. you are a member of the un security councilg to give weapons to the russians, another permanent member of the un security council for use against civilian targets in ukraine. let's be very clear, that is what this is about. if the chinese provide drones, these are not just for ukrainian tanks, these will replace the ones the russians have already used against apartment buildings , shopping centers and the energy infrastructure. what secretary blinken did last week to announce publicly, i think it was brilliant because it puts the chinese on their heels and they are having to deny that they are actually going to do this. this is why i think their offer of a cease-fire plan has zero credibility. do not forget, we have been down this road before. there were cease-fires for years and the osce reported that 90% of the valuations -- violations were from the rushed inside. guy: what lessons have we learned about our capabilities? how did we overestimate the russian military the way that we did? gen. hodges: i was guilty of overestimat

figuratively, the united states continues with the european chinese ball spy night, strategic communications coordinator at the us national security councilaid that washington will not return the wreckage of an innocently killed balloon to kiev, but kirby note that the united states sees no reason why tensions between the united states and china due to the incident around the balloon should escalate into a conflict commented on the incident and biden the us president said that attacked in the chinese ball, the us air force did the right thing on a clarifying question. why beijing acted in such a daring baidan, answered deeply and intellectually, because they are chinese, however, in beijing and do not think to stop from the mistake of culture at the prc embassy in islamabad. jan hitsen continues to troll americans with such a cartoon, he published it on his social networks, we read f-22. he is the killer of balloons, the only fighter in the world who defeated the weather zone. come on and the us on the chinese ironic bulling, offended and bet. beijing’s conditions, the hegemot is ready to forgive china if beijing condemns russia’s special

states and canada. what we are learning according to a national security council spokesperson is that neither of those two objects closely resemble the chinese balloon. they are saying that they didn't look like that which was four might everybody the, chinese feeling with something like 20 stories tall with a satellite on the bottom of it that was the size of a regional jet. we're talking about two much smaller objects here. we can really characterize them beyond that and they aren't sharing any information either from the canadian or u.s. side when it comes to homes these objects are what their stated purpose may have been. it just simply both u.s. canadian military yesterday agreed it should be taken out of the sky. out of an abundance of caution. it could pose a threat to civilian aircraft. that is a distinction that the biden ministration is really wanting to make clear to people. that the objects of the last couple of days do not really look like when we saw with a chinese spy balloon. and again, those two objects were acted on much more quickly than the balloon which was shot down last weekend after eight days in which it really float

states and the chinese government have quite different definitions of chinese air space. >> reporter: well, jake, according to the u.s. side, the answer is no. white house national security councile national security council john kirby was asked this question during the white house briefing, that being cognizant of the chinese having different determinations of what their air space was, kirby said, there is no u.s. aircraft in their air space. w the u.s. flat-out rejects what china is saying, in addition to doubling down on the claim that the chinese balloon was just a civilian balloon turned offcourse. the why beijing is accusing the u.s. of being the world's largest surveillance empire, said it is common for u.s. balloons to illegally enter other country's air space and the u.s. was accused of frequently sending warships and planes to carry out close-range reconnaissance against china, which he claimed to a total of 657 times s last year. state media on sunday said they spotted their own ufo aboard wa waters and were preparing to shoot it down. local authorities told fishermen in the area to stay safe and to help salvage any debris. as of now, we have gotten no further details

chinese were able to gather from us. >> then, this is a dance with the united states right now. when you consider u.s. china relations, ongoing u.s. china relations, you consider this council meeting by the secretary of state over the last 24 hours or so. we have this reporting of this country, i should say. you have also these reports of the united states who also employ and you spy balance. is there a fear here of retribution if the u.s. comes down to hot in the sink? >> that is a big question. i think for sure this is very much about diplomatic fallout. there has not been some kind of terrible national security damage inflicted by this balloon. if anything, this could actually be more uncomfortable and more awkward for the chinese if we were able to achieve this and exploit the equipment on there, gather some insight into what they're floating and flying. but, for sure this is not helpful for u.s. china lesions, already very tense. the idea of that trip that got canceled, it was to forge a dialogue, even amid some very difficult times and a lot of disagreements, to at least have some way of communicating with china and maybe lowering the temperatures slightly. this has

state of the union address. that starts at 8:00 p.m. eastern. >>> new this morning, residents of grand forks, north dakota, are worried about chinese spying and they scheer a vote by their city councilhose in favor, say aye. opposed, same sign. motion carries unanimously. >> woo! [ cheers and applause ] >> usa! usa! >> that was a unanimous vote by the city council to pull the plug on plans by few feng to build a corn mill in the city. some were concerned about deepening economic ties with china. others speculated it could be used for spying on an air bofor base 15 miles away. a top official weighed in, calling the project a significant threat to national security. the city council vote coming right on the heels of that suspected chinese spy balloon shot down by u.s. air force. >>> nba fans are eagerly awaiting the lakers versus oklahoma city thunder game homing to see thunder from lebron james because he may make history tonight. he is only 36 points away from becoming the nba's all-time leading scorer. >> that's insane for one individual to be on the brink of all-time scoring in nba history and top five all-time in assists. and he is not a point guard. you know, it is truly remarka

chinese foreign ministry said. the state duma of the russian federation turned to him in order to initiate an international investigation into the explosions at nord stream. in addition, russia requested a meeting of the security council on february 22. he's on the explosions on the pipelines. and here is what sergey viktorovich lavrov said about this incident yesterday . the main thing was not to let germany feel in the energy comfort zone. and don't let germany start getting gas through these the two pipelines that financed the companies of russia, germany, austria, italy , in general, spat in the face of many european companies and just like when it turned out many years ago that angela merkel's phone was tapped by the national security agency. it was a fact already, not requiring investigation. this was recognized by all. and the german chancellor behaved not like the leader of the main country of the european union, but like the head of the government of an occupied power. he is now repeating himself in even more striking tones. when germany was not only humiliated by its seat to the us satellite seat to be decided. can germany ensure its economic development to meet the social needs of its citizens? through the

it was important for the united states to be able to rejoin the human rights council and to engage in a much more effective way at the u.n., you are quite right, the chinese operate in the u.n. system very effectively, for years. they have been able to put people in junior positions, which you simply cannot sign up for financially and put people into slots and then those people move up the chain in the u.n. system. our u.n. ambassador, linda thomas-greenfield, is very engaged in looking at all of the ways that chinese have penetrated the u.n. system and figuring out with our international organization bureau, ways to challenge all of that. but i quite agree with you, we have a lot of work to do. >> but i don't want to come too many things for the chinese, but we could definitely take a lesson from their page book. they have systematically, methodically, implemented their people in a way that ultimately leads them to have influence on a wide variety cross section of the u.n.. that's not the only place, the world health organization, i could go on. finally, what is the administration doing? chinese imports of iranian oil have exceeded 1 million barrels per
