In our top story: The Pentagon is tracking a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. right now. It flew through Canadian airspace and Global News has learned pilots were warned by air traffic controllers to be on the lookout for an untethered balloon. Jackson Proskow reports on how the U.S. is responding.
Tensions between Canada and China are also rising with the balloon having passed over Canada this week. Chief political correspondent David Akin has more on what the federal government has been saying.
These types of balloons are not new. In fact, similar tactics have been used for espionage in the early days of the Cold War. Eric Sorensen takes a look at the balloon and explores why old-fashioned technology is being used in the age of sophisticated satellites.
There are new concerns over the worldwide spread of another virus: avian flu. For more than a year, thereโs been a significant uptick in cases among wild birds and farmed poultry. Now, thereโs new evidence the illness is spreading among other mammals. Heather Yourex-West reports.
European Union leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Friday. As Redmond Shannon reports, he once again pled for stronger weapons as the country approaches one year in Russiaโs war.
And finally, NASA is taking the threat of an asteroid hitting the Earth seriously and working on a planetary defence program for that very reason. Globalโs Su-Ling reports on the recent big step it took towards its protection program.

As you all know, the VC (Vietnamese communist) is forever the dog of China. There is no different between PLC and VC. Harming America has been their goal ever since.
However, thousand of Vietnamese immigrants en route to the US including the communist party member and their relative were eligible for the US Visa. Let's not forget thousands of American who lost their lives in such 911 experienced, as the PLC and VC expressed their joy and celerbration. Preventing the PLCs and VCs from entering the US is to eliminate the recurrence scourge in the US.
We respectfully request the US Congress to immediately amend of sponsorship immigration laws to PLC and VC. Let's stop the criminal, immorral and traitors before disaster strikes.
Count me in for US army man power
6:50 misleading translation "ๆ่ฆๅผบ่ฐ็ๆฏโ actual translation is "What I want to emphasize is"
P/s: If ya all feels like a balloon be it meteorology or whatever usage had violated US sovereign airspace, then your navy ships had already violated territorial waterways in South China Sea. I bet China had the rights to sink all of the fleets not? I'm not from China but nearby neighbor. And i can't stand devils going around harassing nations and leaving whatever it touches lay to ruins.
