china and politicizing their corona virus tragedy. those were the words earlier from the chinese foreign ministry spokesman. in response to recent us, claims that the pandemic was likely china's fault. the u. s. energy department has concluded that the coven pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak. according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the white house and key members of congress. the energy department made its judgment with low confidence, according to people who have read the classified report. she and she see a lovely is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts from china and the world health organization reached after visiting to relevant laboratory and to hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. the relevant party should start playing on the lot. league theory, stop sneering, china and stop politicizing the issue of origin tracing the report sites only 2 officials from the u. s. department of energy and they say they have low confidence that this comes from a lab that it was a who on lab league, but that hasn't stopped all the major us mainstream media outlets from running with this story.

u. s. in china to discuss from taiwan to the south china sea and so on and so forth. there were so many thorny issues that it wasn't expected that the secretary of state entity blink and trip to china would be really that progressive that they would make that much of a breakthrough. but this has certainly soured the relationship even further. antony blinkin saying yesterday that he made very clear to his counterpart in china on the phone that this is seen as a serious breach and that they might make a trip in the future. but the conditions have to be right again, and we don't know what will be deemed as the conditions being right. again for secretary blinking to actually be able to make this trip. ok, so me some a standard reporting for us in washington d. c. thank you so much to me. to ukraine, our fighting rage is on around the city of bach moot. ukraine's army has been dugan for months to push back russian forces. but despite tensions between both sides cave and moscow say they made the largest exchange of prisoners. since the start of the wall of a $100.00 ukraini

u. s. announce that it is stepping up its military presence in the philippines. it is believed that that is seen to be the u. s. trying to deter china from taking action in taiwan. there were other issues that would have been discussed like hong kong human rights violations in nash and john, also the south china sea, and of course, the war in ukraine and what china could do with its role in deterring russia. so there was always going to be a lot of difficult issues to discuss on this visit. not a lot of common ground. rather, it appears that this spy balloon incident derailed of is entirely. no, i understand the pentagon just held a briefing. what do we know about this balloon and where it's going? yes, so i listened into this briefing with a brigadier general pat writer. he was speaking with a meeting. he made a few points care had he said a while. he was asked about china statement that this is a civilian aircraft, a weather balloon, as it were, he said, we know it's a surveillance balloon and we can't be specific on why. because that's classify. he said, we know it violated international law and that's not acceptable. he also said it'

u. s. media outlets of sensationalizing. a supposing threat from china and early further working soon further damage these ties between the u. s. and china. and as we heard, the flow bar from cassie is, is definitely a major blow to us china relations. their relationship was already under a severe strain under him, of from a growing list of disagreements, everything from taiwan to technology, to the south china sea. it is just as another tense topic to that list. and it was hoped that anti aid lincoln's visit would improve. and stabilizes vakio relationship at a time full of aging when they're looking to focus on reducing economy coming out of carbons 0. so definitely bad timing for aging. and also very embarrassing as well for china. all right, that's alger is katrina you in beijing for us. thanks so much for breaking it all down for us. katrina people in ecuador will be heading to the polls in the coming hours to elect local officials and vote unconstitutional reforms. many observers see this referendum as a test for president key or my last. so who's

china relationship is very tense. there are a lot of very thorny issues, certainly from the u. s. perspective. from taiwan and hong kong to the south china sea and russia's war ukraine. the u. s. once china to take on a bigger role there. so it was seen as an opportunity to at least engage in some dialogue. but the cold, it appears that this balloon incident has derailed the visit and it has caused a lot of concern here in the us. the pentagon has held a briefing on this, what do we know about this blues purpose and where it's going? yeah, we listened into that briefing into a few interesting points. i want to bring up that came out of this briefing. first of all, we got a direct direct reaction to china's explanation that this was a weather balloon that went off. course the spokesperson for the pentagon said, we know that this is a surveillance balloon. we cannot be specific on why because it is classified, but we know that it violate a us airspace and that is not acceptable. every moment of this balloon is being tracked by the pentagon right now. it is moving eastward, over the u. s. it is a,

and it fits in with a full court all on anti china hysteria from u. s. officials track that they're going to meet next week. germans she in turn to discuss this on holy wines that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because, well, maybe ukraine today is can be tie one to morrow. note that at this same time, we have united states pumping weapons on to the island of taiwan into the philippines are playing up the idea that china is a danger. certainly parallels a similar escalations that were done with ukraine. why have we achieve the level of success we've achieved in ukraine? a big part of that has been because after rushing aggression in 20142015, we honestly got off to preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate, support, sustain operations. we call that setting the theater, and we're setting the fit in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. now, chinese officials reject the reports. i say that it's simply not accurate an

from china. and china fails regret for its intended entry into u. s. s. space china has enough satellites already in china wants to do any surveillance. why should they use the pollutants, which are so big and so obvious. now, i don't think this connection makes any sense. so let's see. i mean, we're all have to watch and see. but whatever the case, i think the wisdom of both countries, leaders and about diplomats, but now put to test ah, no move in on. russia says that it's still been denied access to the sides of last year's north stream pipeline bombings, which moscow blamed on the u. k and london denied any involvement in, however, germany's prosecutor general doesn't seem to be investigating any western involvement in the attack while admitting that there's nothing to implicate russia . at the moment, there is no evidence the investigation ongoing. we're currently evaluating all of this forensically. what i can say is that the suspicion that this was a foreign sabotage action has not yet been substantiated. according to some reports, berlin seems

reco spending levels and bite in himself has threatened military action to defend taiwan from china and the u. s. has continue to say, oh battle ships down the south china sea and is accused itself of undermining regional stability with the signing of the focus, with the security part with brittany radio in 2021 which is containing china's military power. but of course, this latest incident is a new blow to the already tense us china relations. earlier we spoke to nelson wong, who's the vice chairman of the shanghai center full impact and international studies. and he says that china doesn't need to use balloons to spawn america. this is apparently not a pleasant incident, but i don't believe it is wise for anybody to make a big fuss on it because the chinese government has confirmed in the 1st place that this below all this ship or exactly what you call it is from china and china fails, regret for its intended entry into u. s. s. space. china has enough satellites already in china. wants to do any surveillance. why should they use the pollutants? which are so big and so obvious. now, i don't th

china cleans the balloon is just for research purposes. however, it did fly over very strategic u. s. military base is even storing nuclear weapons. or from your perspective, how much of a threat is there's a ledge to spy balloon for the u. s. security. well that in our, in itself, it's not such a big threat at china's collecting intelligence and use this balloon to get clear of pictures to be able to hover over military sites to get sensitive data. and you know, the balloon has certain advantages over satellites. but i think it still says a lot about the, the state of chinese american relations because the reaction inside of the united states was very harsh and the public air very much. it is extremely critical of china. i think we really and have reached new heights an anti china sentiment in the united states. and then of course, no one can ask why now, why was there balloon sent over the united states? was there an intention from the chinese part, or was this just your happenstance? and then of course, you know, like, how does their story now unfold? the chinese air, you know, at do not necessarily take the position of saying that's t

list of disputes or anything, everything ranging from a potential clashes over the south, china's div, the status of ty, one tech controls from the u. s. impose on china and chinese companies already. we have a very tense list of talking points and no doubt this aircraft be it surveillance ship or a weather balloon. essentially, this is only going to add and complicate those matters when the 2 sides sit down. if they do sit down and continue those meetings on sunday, the tours your own versioning. thank you. the european union supplies to support ukraine, every step of the way in its pursuit for membership. he were officials are in key for a highly symbolic summit. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is pushing the block for speedy membership as his battles and battles and nearly year long russian invasion. you granted the candidate status to ukraine last year, but the past to full membership could take years. when hash butler is alive, force and keep this is a hugely symbolic visit by e. u officials. i think i can hear the air raid sirens going off behind you. yes sir. another array to learn. it's going all foot behind me. you can

u. s. defense companies from trading with china over there, arms sales to taiwan. the commerce ministry added lockheed martin and raytheon to its so called unreliable entity list. top executives will be banned from entering china and the companies will be fined. it's not clear, however, how china will enforce the funds. maybe you've heard of quiet quitting. well, the former c e o of consumer products multinational unilever is warning companies of conscious quitting. paul pullman says younger employees want to work for companies that match their values and will quit. those that they find lacking his net positive organization has released a survey of workers between 18 and 41 in the u. s. u k. showing that 2 thirds believe companies aren't doing enough about social challenges, nearly half so they would consider resigning from a company that doesn't match their values. i spoke earlier today with pullman the former unilever head about that survey and asked how exactly younger work workers differed from their elders? well, we're seeing a big different steve, and thanks

it's certainly interesting timing and it fits in with a full court all on anti china hysteria from u. s. officials. fact that they're going to meet next week. germans, she in turn to discuss this on holy warrants that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because, well, maybe ukraine today is can be taiwan to morrow. note that at this same time, we have united states pumping weapons on to the island of taiwan into the philippines, playing up the idea that china is a danger. certainly parallels a similar escalations that were done with ukraine. why if we achieve the level of success we've achieved in ukraine a big part of that has been because after russian aggression in 20142015, we honestly got off to preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate, support, sustain operations. we call that setting the theater, and we're setting the fit in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. now, chinese officials reject the report, say that it's simply not accurate and that

that's the message from china as the u. s. suggest beijing is deliberately using his balloon to spawn them inside pick up sites on russian regions. thus, moscow condemned the u. s. delivery of long range rockies to ukraine, which could potentially its crimea. g 7 imposes the price cut on russian oil to co masters revenue. president putin says the country will not export oil to states supporting the limits with just 15 pm on saturday evening here in the russian capital. i'm peter scott, and here's how the world is looking as we had into the we can, thanks for joining us. i start off with china, which has slammed the u. s. for taking advantage of its balloon in american air space criticizing what is called hysteria regarding accusations of spying on u. s. territory. this was a complete accident caused by a force, missouri, and the facts. a very clear, china has always strictly abided by international law, respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and has never intentionally violated the territory an

it's certainly interesting timing and it fits in with a full court all on anti china hysteria from u. s. officials. fact that they're going to meet next week chairman, she important to discuss this on holy winds that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because well, maybe ukraine today is can be tie one to morrow. note that at this same time, we have the united states pumping weapons on to the island of taiwan in the philippines, playing up the idea that china is a danger. certainly parallels a similar escalations that were done with ukraine. wife. we achieve the level of success we've achieved in ukraine. a big part of that has been because after russian aggression in 20142015, we honestly got off to preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate, support, sustain operations. we call that setting the theater. and we're setting the fair to in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. so china, pushing back against western narratives, no surprise that beijing kee

china claims the balloon is just for research purposes. however it did fly over very strategic u. s military bases even storing nuclear weapons. from your perspective how much of a threat is this alleged spy balloon for the u. s. security? well you know in itself it's not such a big threat. china is collecting intelligence and it uses this balloon to get clear pictures to be able to hover over military sites to get sensitive data and you know the balloon has certain advantages over satellites but i think it still says a lot about the state of chinese american relations because the reaction inside of the united states was very harsh. the public very much is you know extremely critical of china. i think we really have reached new heights and anti china sentiment in the united states. and then of course, you know, no one can ask why now, why was the balloon sent over the united states? was there an intention from the chinese part or was this just pure happenstance? and then of course, you know, like how does the story now unfold the chinese? you know, do not necessarily take the position of saying that's true. we're collecting surveil
