	Description:		On Thursday, President Joe Biden broke his silence on the recent downings of UFOs in U.S. airspace. He said U.S. intelligence has no indication that three objects shot down in recent days were surveillance craft from China. Earlier this month, a train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, releasing toxic materials into the town. Last week, some of the chemicals were burned in what officials called a "controlled explosion." Meanwhile, it's been 10 days since twin earthquakes and several aftershocks hit Syria and Turkey. Recovery and aid groups are still working around the clock to get immediate supplies, medicine, and shelter to survivors. And as the one-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, the U.S. is expecting Ukraine to launch a spring offensive. Russia has been stepping up its offensive in eastern Ukraine – battling, unsuccessfully, for the city of Vuhledar. We discuss all this and more during the News Roundup. Want to support 1A?
