mother of two nicola bulley, who s been missing for a week, fell into the river while walking her dog. and the spanish fashion designer paco rabanne has died at the age of 88. hello and welcome to bbc world news. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has postponed a much anticipated trip to beijing after a chinese surveillance balloon was detected in the sky above the united states. china says a balloon is a chinese civilian airship which had deviated from its planned route. us defence officials said they believe the balloon, seen above sensitive areas in recent days, was a high altitude surveillance device. our security correspondent gordon corera reports. i.have no idea what this thing is. a strange object in the sky, filmed by a member of the public in rural montana. and for those of you who think this mightjust be the moon, it is not the moon, the moon is off to my right, i can sate. it s not the moon, nor a ufo, but, us officials claim, a chinese spy balloon. it
Concerning the allegations, i stressed that no one in the new team governing ukraine had anything to do with anything that may have happened in 2016. They were making Television Shows at the time. I also said that it is not credible to me that former Vice President biden would have been influenced in any way by financial or personal motives in carrying out his duties as Vice President. A different issue is whether some individual ukrainians may have attempted to influence the 2016 election or thought they would buy influence. That is at least plausible given ukraines reputation for corruption. But the accusation that Vice President biden acted inappropriately did not seem at all credible to me. After that meeting, i connected mayor giuliani and mr. Yermak by text and later by phone. They met in person on august 2nd, 2019. In conversations with me following that meeting, which i
did not attend, mr. Giuliani said that he had stressed the importance of ukraine conducting investigations in
