Russia's troop call up
What does Russia's military call-up mean for Ukraine?
President Putin says up to 300,000 military reservists are to be sent to Ukraine as part of a partial mobilisation of Russian forces. In a televised address to the nation, he said this was a necessary step to ensure Russian territorial integrity. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner gives us his assessment. He will explain what this could mean for the flighting on the ground.
We'll also connect you with three Russian men whose lives have been impacted by the announcement. They, like many others are awaiting more details on whether they or their loved ones will be told to join.
It's day two of The United Nations General Assembly in New York. We'll bring you live coverage as global leaders take to the podium.
