The United States has shot down a Chinese spy balloon which had been floating across the country since last week.

It was brought down after an order from President Biden, who had earlier vowed to “take care” of the balloon.

Hundreds of miles of airspace were cleared for the operation.

Sky’s US Correspondent Mark Stone reports.
