we will speak live to the pentagon press secretary, brigadeir general patrick ryder. commentator for the i paper welcome back to the programme. on sunday night the new chairman of the house foreign affairs committee told fox news the odds of conflict with china over taiwan the eu today pledged today to double the military aid programme for ukraine by training an extra 15,000 soldiers. ahead of a war summit in kyiv tomorrow, the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, said the eu will have a tenth package of russian sanctions, in place, by 24th february, the first anniversary of the invasion. meawnhile the chair of russia's council on foreign and defence policy, sergey karaganov, a putin ally told hardtalk�*s stephen sakur that russia would utilise all means necessary, to deal with the cancer that is nato. we are fighting the cancer is called nato and its expansion. we tried to persuade them by therapy and now, by surgery. i hope it will not come to radiology. surgery. i hope it will not come to radiolo: . �* ., ., radiology. are you alluding to russia's n

did not heed that warning, and i asked brigadier general patrick ryder about the veiled threats of someiation of thoat balloon being shot down, and i was told that we do not conduct any surveillance over the u.s., and so there is no such threat. we do not fly where international space does not allow, and we take the conduct of our surveillance seriously. we always take the safety and security of our service members seriously, no matter where they may be serving as released from the defense department press secretary. >> and also, thjoining us is th author of "peaceful over rise." and thank you for joining us, susan sanger, and it is revealing that once this was spotted, chinese officials did not reach out to try to come to some sort of understanding or the deal. do you read anything into that? >> well, i read a lot into that. it's, we have so little understanding of the decision-making process inside of china which is of course making it much more dangerous for everyone. the united states made major efforts to communicate with the chinese at every level. they were basically the chinese

. >> i wonder if that's a reason we her from the brigadier general patrick ryder talking about the balloon having the ability to maneuver but wasn't specific to go beyond that about who it was and done maybe it's the idea of partial and unknown but partially not wanting to divulge too much information, but as you're talking about it, obviously, just the jet stream we've already seen, at some point, if it continues along this path the will no longer be above our air space and in the control and the domain of the united states. is there a point in time where they're going to have to make addition whether to destroy it or wait for it to land controlled. >> if they want to look at it from a purely legalistic standpoint it's better if you bring it down in your territory or territory yell waters, you want to bring it down in way to control every single last aspect of it. it's technically possible to bring it down over the ocean then it becomes bit legally questionable when you got it pa international waters as opposed to your territory or waters. >> on that point you've been following the trajec

now, i spoke to pentagon spokesman general patrick ryder over the weekend to ask him if he wanted to respond to those -- the veiled chinese threat and he did respond, in quite clear terms, he said, the prc surveillance balloon was in u.s. territorial air space, a violation of our sovereignty. we do not conduct such operations in chinese air space, so there is no similar situation, the united states will continue to sail, fly, and operate anywhere international laws allows. we always take the safety and security of our service members seriously, point being there, the u.s. making a distinction, saying the chinese balloon came over u.s. territory, that u.s. aircraft, both crewed and uncrewed go around chinese territory. but also in those words there, poppy, you heard him saying, we're not stopping these flights. in effect, the u.s. not going to be intimidated by those chinese comments. but it's a real danger here, because retaliation is a possibility. and therefore, escalation is a responsibility. and that's something we have to be watching closely. >> this is not a tit for tat moment

airspace, so pentagon press secretary brigadier general patrick ryder he actually did just address thisthat the u.s. has been tracking this surveillance program for quite some time now and does believe that it's part of a larger mission, a larger operation being carried out by the chinese government. take a listen. >> this is what we assess as part of a larger chinese surveillance balloon program. you've heard us talk of us talk about the fact that this is a program that's been operated for several years, and this last week provided the united states with a unique opportunity to learn a lot more about the chinese surveillance balloon program. all information that will help us to continue to strengthen our ability to track these kinds of objects. >> reporter: ryder did say they are hoping to learn more about so that the payload or equipment it was carrying could be left intact and examined by the fbi lab in quantico, but he didn't go into a lot of detail what the u.s. is hoping to learn from it. we're told from sources that among the details that the u.s. wants to learn about china's --

just a moment ago in a series of questions from reporters, brigadier general patrick ryder confirmed the balloon is not just drifting, that china is in control of it. >> the balloon is maneuverable. clearly it's violated u.s. airspace, and again, we've communicated that fact to the prc. the fact is we know that it's a surveillance balloon. and i'm not going to be able to be more specific than that. and we do know that the balloon has violated international airspace and international law which is unacceptable. we have conveyed this directly to the prc at multiple levels. >> violated u.s. airspace and international law. the u.s. see. flies in the face of what china is claiming that it's a weather balloon blown astray. in fact, the pentagon says it's currently headed east across the continental united states, and just a moment ago, white house officials told nbc news the u.s. acted to make it very difficult for china to learn anything specific, so what exactly does that mean? and why hasn't it been shot down or even forced down? do we have the capability to even do that? we have reporte
