country. translator: this is not a bluff. the citizens of russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our homeland, independence and freedom will be ensured. and those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the prevailing winds can turn in their direction. of course these comments come against the backdrop of the u.n. general assembly here in new york. the war on ukraine dominating those conversations. president biden is set to speak in a few hours from now. ukraine s president zelenskyy set to address world leaders remotely later today. all of this as russia occupied regions in ukraine announced referendums on joining russia this week. ukraine and its allies dismissing that move as a sham driven by fear of defeat. we re covering all the elements. let s begin with barbara starr at the pentagon. frederick layton is in washington d.c. and matthew chance in london. matthew, what do we know this morning? reporter: this speech taking place at
come back monday, try again. but at the very last second, there seemed to be a deal reached between gates and mccarthy. and a 15th round again. finally, kevin mccarthy was elected to be the next speaker of the house. let me close with this. i may not know all of you, some of you are new. but i hope one thing is clear after this week. i never give up. joining me now from capital of the hills nbc news capitol correspondent julie circuits. let s talk a little bit about the deal that was made to get mccarthy over the finish line, and what you re hearing about in next epsilon with congress. a lot of concessions were made. some of the moderates are really unhappy about that. because mccarthy was willing to go pretty far in order to secure the speakership gavel. one that he has been trying to get since 2015. so some of the concessions he made to some of those hard-line conservatives, including matt gates, lauren boebert, and others, have to do with the budget, have to do with
