city still held by ukraine in the loo hansen province with fierce fighting raging across the don bus. neither side looks ready to accept a compromise just yet. so let's get an assessment of what's happening on the ground and you grant a doubly correspondent, mathias. billing a is in karma tusk in the east. she doesn't kilometers from the fighting. we ask him whether he grants president is right to describe the situation as extremely difficult. absolutely, whomever you talk to, whether its soldiers or civilians living in these places. everybody tells you the situation is extremely tens more tense than they have more tense than at any time in the past where maybe not the beginning of this conflict 8 years ago. but in the meantime, in the past 7 years. so shelling has intensified all along the contact line. today

we were in a, in a town that sits just on this contact line. so you can basically, with your bare, i see the, the places that are controlled by the so called separatist, the russian back republics. and everybody there has told us that shelling has intensified tremendously. there. there are dozens of rounds of artillery coming in every day. houses are being shelled, people are dying. and this is, this is happening every day. people, people listen to it and they say, well, this is outgoing, this is incoming. they have basically become expert in, in the sounds of artillery in order to assess where the danger is coming from next . so this is that place. and now imagine what it's like in those places that are the most heavily embattled combated, and that's of course, around the area around 0. the net that's 40 kilometers north east of where i am. now in my talk, there of course, situations are even more dia and since yesterday,

russian troops have blown up the bridge that links this town, the city to the territory that are still controlled by ukraine. people are expecting another mary, you pull that. that was meant his pulling it in here right now in any and conflict . intelligence gathering is crucial, so to was deceiving the enemy on the battlefield. during world war 2, the united states used inflatable decoys of heavy machinery to full. now the forces in battle are the themes, some 70 years on the technique has not lost its effectiveness and are lightly being deployed in the ukraine conflict. blue an m 60 battle tank american made traveling across a meadow in the north of the czech republic, near the german border. from the join footage, it's not easy to recognize that this is not actually heavy weaponry at all. it's an inflatable decoy driven by an ordinary car.

no one's playing a prank on residence near the town of ditch in the fake tank is made by a civilian armaments company and the czech republic. instead of being assembled like a real tank, this one takes about half an hour to inflate than it looks, at least from a distance deceptively real for enemy recognizance loss is if we also have systems installed to deceive radar and thermal cameras. and even when looking through binoculars, our products are difficult to recognise from a distance into school that is not tele. the use of rubber decoys is not new. the us used them to full denazi's during world war 2. nato armies are still ordering inflatable decoys today. the company says its versions of soviet designed equipment are currently in high demand. it's easy to assume that the inflatable weapons are

most likely being used in ukraine. the company can produce 15 rubber tanks in a month, all handmade for you to fulfill the review of these are the individual parts of a tank. they are then sewn together according to the design drawing. then it just needs to be inflated and it looks like the real vehicle was it a little bit of the company doesn't just produce tanks, but a whole range of large military equipments. like the s 8 anti aircraft massage systems, inflated in just 10 minutes. a lot of hot here for 25000 years, but according to the manufacturer, even modern thermal imaging cameras and right, our systems can be fooled by built in heating coils we often hear from pilots and i wasn't sure if it was a dummy or real hardware and that's what we're all about on it. confusing the enemy?

i think it's also important is that an attack with ammunition powerful enough to destroy a real vehicle cause the enemy $5.00 to $8.00 times more than the cost of our dummy lahaina. lots of 3. and i see that he even if it might seem like a lot of hot air for the layman, experts know that this technology is anything but and it gives a whole new meaning to military air power. german chancellor, olaf schultz is on his 1st visit to africa since taking office 6 months ago. the 1st up on his 3 day trip is synagogue where he's held talks with president mackie thow the 2 latest discuss the full ad from the war in ye. crime with the focus on the sharp rise in energy and food prices, countries across africa, feeling the effect, all those price hikes, which are due to a hold in grain exports from ukraine. shots is that needs to change other via
