US Navy working to recover debris from Chinese ‘spy balloon’

The United States military has shot down what it claims was a high-altitude Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean. The Chinese government has expressed outrage, claiming it was a weather balloon that had blown off course. The incident, which saw the craft travel at high altitude across large swaths of the continental US, has sparked a serious diplomatic row, with the US Secretary of State cancelling a planned visit to Beijing. There is also growing criticism in the US over how President Biden handled the incursion of the craft into US airspace. Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.

Cortez Masto wins in Nevada; Democrats retain control of Senate

Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto has won re-election in Nevada, giving her party the 50 seats they need to keep control of the United States Senate. Democrats’ hold on the Senate is a blow to Republicans’ high hopes of wresting away control of Congress in a midterm election that typically favours the party out of power. It was still unclear which party would control the House of Representatives as counting continued in razor-tight races in California and a smattering of other states. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #unitedstates #US […]

Global supply crisis: Shipping delays for Chinese-made goods

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused logistical headaches for global shippers thanks to raised transport costs, quarantine measures and extra paperwork. China’s zero-tolerance approach to the coronavirus has not helped: in May it closed one of its busiest ports because of a COVID-19 outbreak. That has affected the supply of Chinese products to the United States, dampening the Thanksgiving Day holiday sales, when shoppers are traditionally on the hunt for bargains.
