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 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.
