I think, without question, this is provocation. probably from china, maybe a little russia thrown in. could one of those four have been an errant weather balloon? i guess. but ii think at this point, we are watching a campaign unfold. what should we do about it? we should strengthen our military alert speak here, our domain awareness, meaning everything thats up in the air. its pretty good. it could be better. we need to continue to respond, and we need to be careful we dont inadvertently shoot ...

Three aircraft shot down, we know on february four that that was in fact a chinese aircraft that violated american and canadian airspace. i think this is a significant provocation and isjust a brazen example of the chinese flouting international norms. i think there is going to be push—back, not just in united states, but globally, against the prc continuing these types of actions. youre watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... the row surrounding the chairman of the bbc ...

Until last week to shoot it down, so, that is sort of the rundown of what is happening here. joining me now is matthew schmidt, associate professor of national security at the university of new haven. what do you think is happening here? we have not heard about the latest two objects whether it is china or not but what is your assessment? it it is china or not but what is your assessment?— it is china or not but what is your assessment? if we assume it is china — your assessment? if we assum...

Of new haven, for his assessment. if we assume it is china and, again, we do not know that it is china, then what you see here is a provocation. you see china attempt to study american response to these kinds of events, right, and to study primarily not the military response but the political response. they have already induced us to do something we did not used to do, which is to shoot down these attempts, these spy balloons, which you see with the first balloon, so, if the second balloon was l...

Down but we also received information that they fell very close to the border. initially, we heard there were two rockets. then it turned out it was one rocket after all. they fell close to the border and they did not hit any military targets. so it was very probable indeed that they were not aimed at the spot where they crash. but then it turned out it was simply an accident. however, of course, we do fear that some kind of an act of aggression could be carried out, some kind of provocation cou...

The latest development, fighter aircraft sent to investigate a radar anomaly detected in montana. no object was found, but officials say they will continue to monitor the situation. all this comes only a matter of days after the us shot down this balloon on the coast of south carolina. washington says china was using it to spy on america. beijing says it was simply a weather balloon. but if the americans were right about that, what do they think it could mean? what you see here, it is a provocat...
