Ukraine is calling for Russia to be expelled from the United Nations.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia does not deserve to remain in the world body, and should also be labelled a terrorist state.
He says Russia is violating principles of the UN.
"Russia does not have the right to take part in discussing and voting in regard to the war in Ukraine, which is unprovoked and simply colonialist on the part of Russia. I urge you to deprive the delegation of the terrorist state of its powers in the UN General Assembly. That is possible. That is necessary. That is fair."

"Our client, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been vilified, pilloried, and it left little room for her to be treated fairly because even before she stepped forward into this courthouse, she was being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.... We are confident that she will prevail on appeal."
