Alaska, and they will be, over the next few hours and days, trying to retrieve the debris to try to answer some of those questions. and last saturday, we know that the us shot down that chinese balloon. president biden came under a lot of political criticism, didnt he, that he didnt really act fast enough? so, what has been the reaction to his response this time around? well, the reaction is that, really, he acted as fast as he could, it seems, and that perhaps that was as a result of some of th...

Despite Chinas repeated communication with the US, Washington continued to escalate its response to the airship incident through a mix of both political and economic moves, due to the malicious political manipulation by some forces in Washington, which presents worrying signs for bilateral ties, experts warned on Saturday.

The object -- thats what the US is calling it at this early stage of investigation -- was described by Defence officials as as large as a car -- in contrast to the Chinese balloon which was the size of three passenger buses. But the officials acknowledged they had few other details -- nothing about its ownership, origin or purpose.

Balloon by his republican opponents. and i think that its -- again, hes -- while this might have been politically motivated, i think hes perfectly insulated from that charge because the military recommended that he shoot it down. this is not afghanistan where he overruled mark milly and lloyd austin and did his own thing. so i think hes insulated from that. but it comes on top, you know, the best speech of his presidency in my view, the "state of the union" in which he absolutely owned the zealo...

And for more on this, were joined from washington tonight by alaska senator lisa murkowski. senator, have you been briefed on this object, and can you share your level of concern over what it may represent? >> yes, i just returned from a classified brief. i had an opportunity to connect with the head of the alaska command general, and i received the update. i am concerned. we saw just this week this high-altitude balloon and being shot down off the waters of south carolina, but today to know tha...

Payload. it would appear, though, that just from its size, that it didnt represent the technology that apparently was represented on the chinese balloon. so i do think, if i may just a broader comment. i do think it would be very useful as this situation evolves if the administration could devise a protocol that could be explained to the congress and to the public as what the ground rules are on when and where and under what conditions wed shoot one down or those conditions that we wouldnt want ...
