US crews have located pieces of the Chinese balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina earlier this month. In the last week, four more objects were shot down by the US.

Now, Tatars who fled after Russia’s 2014 invasion — and illegal annexation — of Crimea, say they will return. Also, Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s leader who advocated for its independence, announced her surprise resignation on Wednesday. Sturgeon said she no longer feels she can give the job her all. Plus, Malala Yousafzai discusses radical hate and her Oscar-nominated documentary, “Stranger at the Gate.”
