US Navy denying china’s claims of illegally entering waters

The United States has denied Chinese claims that a US destroyer was driven out from waters around the contested Paracel Islands after it “illegally” entered the area. China’s state media described the US ship as having trespassed in “Chinese territorial waters”.

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.

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.
