right, let's take a quick look at the areas of ukraine that the kremlin now claims as part of russia . it's about 15 percent of ukraine's territory, but it is important to note that under international law it's illegal to hold referendums during conflict and where people are under threat. the un secretary general says the annexations have no legal value and they must not be accepted or challenge to standing by for us in chief. but 1st let's go through how much val and moscow. so we heard from the president's bahama, just talk us through what happened and what will be happening in the next hour in moscow in terms of the celebration taken place? not in the right behind to me is that square on the kremlin. we can order to hear hear the music people. 8 both ration, they are close to for media where the sound, thousands of people are attending. that's right off the keynote speech or the major

speech. but within dave, the finding of, of $33.00, between russia and the 4 of the brain. you're going to look, i'm going to put in the need for washes, to unite. and so can see that what happened. a collection of history here reminded russians of the greatness of civilization. they paula race station. as he thought, the west is planning to destroy, the west doesn't need of what we need. so he talks about western hypocrisy in this, in terms of with relationships with others. he said the energy crisis was the mistake of western powers. they did it on purpose. so that they can utilize, or they can use europe, they said the united states is trying to explain the europeans. but all of this

energy crisis and the discourse in general, the speech was addressed to the russian is the 1st place. asked them to add the units adequacy. that is something in the interest of ice and federation. and he, as you mentioned, stressed but russia will defend the authorities by any means asking, give, at the same time to come to the negotiation table, ask for the terms of the 2014 negotiations and making it clear that there is no negotiation about that he does that have just been a next. okay, thank you so much. mohammed val reporting from moscow over to rory challenge. he's joining us from keith. so any reaction from cavalry i could bring up speed with something that was literally just a broken or news that is just coming from president zalinski himself for it's a direct response to the russian annexation of these parts are of

ukraine. and the response is that says lensky is now making a formal application to join. nato are following a meeting that zalinski is hands with his national security and defense council. he just says de facto, we've already made our way to nato de facto. we've already proven compatibility with the alliance standards. they're ready for ukraine real on the battle, their real for ukraine, real on the battlefield, and in all aspects of our interact interaction. but now today, ukraine is applying to make it does your in a process that is consistent with our value and protecting our entire community in an expedited manner. we are taking our decisive step by signing ukraine's application for accelerated accession to nato. so clearly the you cried in response to what russia is doing at the moment, the colonel speech that sir putin gave up from moscow early on today. he's to do

the thing that moscow has always feared and always try to prevent ukraine doing that is to join the north atlantic treaty organization, northeast to try to thank you so much, rory rory challenge are reporting for us from keys from our in the u. s. reaction, let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins. so have we heard from the biden administration? we know that the u. s. president is headed up to the supreme court. he's not expected to speak there. he is participating in a ceremony to welcome the newest justice to the supreme court katasha brown jackson . but we are expecting in the next hour that the u. s. will likely be taking some sort of punitive action against russia in the form of those promise does vary a punishing economic sanctions. we don't know what those will look like and we are expecting some sort of detailed announcement in the next hour coming from the

treasury. the congress and state departments likely that will be in the form of some sort of economic sanctions, a punitive in nature likely against government officials and likely also family members of the russian federations were watching for that very carefully as well. we know the u. s. president, likely to in the coming hours of hear hear back of the white house to talk about the federal response to hurricane ivan, where he is likely also to potentially talk about b as speech that was made earlier by vladimir putin. but we do know the u. s position very clearly the u. s. president himself saying the united states will never accept the results of what it sees as a sham referenda that led to the signing ceremony. that took place in russia very in the last couple of hours. the feeling by the united states at the, the results of this referenda were manufactured, that the people that participated in this were coerced,

that in many cases the united states says there was video that was witnessed by members of the us government where people were forest intimidated to cast their ballots and as a result, not only does the united states not recognize this, but they believe that this is a violation of international law. so as a result, along with, in a, in conjunction with partners and allies, the united states says it will see that russia pays for this in terms of punishing and punitive economic consequences. thank you so much. kimberly, over to our diplomatic editor james base, joining us from the united nation. so the united nations security council expected to meet later on today. james, talk us through what we can expect. yeah, i was just down at the security council moments ago actually where a meeting is just started on the democratic republic of congo. before that meeting spoke to the president of the security council, france, have the presidency this month. the president is the french ambassador,

a permanent member of the un security council. that means that has a veto and it will use it's vito, there's absolutely no doubt in that russia is used. it's vito before since the invasion of ukraine back in february, we also know what's going to happen the next stage after that because we've already heard from the us ambassador linda thomas greenfield, that if russia uses is vito as everyone expects in the coming hours, then the us will take this to the un general assembly for a while to vote of all of the $193.00 countries of the us, all the member states of the us. we expect that vote to happen probably at some point next week. now that will be interesting because there was widespread condemnation by the general assembly. in fact, shortly after the invasion. let see how the votes that take place in this vote, there's likely next week. compare to that vote straight away after the invasion at the beginning of february. that's something that will be worth watching very

hoping that it would bring back security to the country. but what we seen is the reverse situation more attacks, millions that people displace and just people fed up with the current security situation with people seeing that more and more people are dying at the hands of our group that control large swath of land. specifically in the north, in the west of the country. well, at least 50 people have been killed after a suicide bomber targeted in education center. incredible. students were taking part in a test to prepare for their university entrance exams. the attack happened in an area of the capitol, where many people from the has are a minority live and has ara is a predominantly muslim group. they are often targeted because of their race and their religious practices. fire alarm this professor of political science a couple of university and he says, i've gone astonished, facing a critical security challenge. there's a curity situation across have going to stand as slowly and rapidly
