Chinese spy balloon or weather balloon?

China has urged "cool-headed" handling of a dispute over a giant Chinese balloon heading for the eastern United States. The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called off a visit to Beijing, saying the "surveillance" balloon's presence was "an irresponsible act".

Also in the programme: Our Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell has been back to the scene of the last week's shooting in East Jerusalem, and to Jenin to ask Israelis and Palestinians what happens next; and what future for Afghanistan 18 months since the Taliban took back control?

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss this and more are Chris Brown, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's European correspondent based in London; and Kate Clark, Co-Director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
