4:38 pm
kids, you can i to have to profession peace. this life here tell you in the small town of iraq to hundreds of kilometers from the front light seems normal, at least on the surface. even in the resort town though, the weight of the war is increasingly being felt. 0, the students would be used to live from tourism and in mind. now there aren't any tourists. today's how are we supposed to make a living good question. aimed at the ukrainian leadership, locals are blaming there was on tightened army conscription laws. in july, the military set up a check point that the entrance to baroque to strong deterrence. for any tourists of conscription, age local, spear, their businesses might collapse. the tension is palpable. some even resorting to violence, broke to made national headlines. the mayor is ashamed by these images to prevent
4:39 pm

4:41 pm
of meeting a similar fate. thousands of men have chosen to flee. they hide out in dense forests, cross icey rivers, some escape attempts and fatally somewhere on the border between ukraine and romania. these men are responsible for ensuring that no one leaves the country illegally. do they hold any sympathy for ukrainians, bleeding out of fear. more luck you will see on the edge from which we can, you know, everyone's afraid and see. but for some reason some people can overcome their fear and fulfilled their doing it. others want to somehow escape it in the one year? it's a little sl. oh boy martin, why should some people protect the country? others flee to, to more than you, most likely shut the door. we will see that. so it's the state has a dilemma, it needs men for its defense and it must prevent the mounting tension from leading to social division. border guard marks him you on it has also questioned forced the
4:42 pm
conscription practices and a bunch of someone is really afraid why send them to the front and let them stay in the back. i need to let them handle the supplies there. since that isn't the case, border guards here have more work than ever. their border section they say is currently the most dynamic. things can change at any moment. maxime, you his colleagues and their dog patrol for kilometers, checking for tracks, new fences, surveillance, drones, additional personnel and thermal imaging devices. ukraine has been forced to invest more money to secure hundreds of kilometers of its southwestern border. anyone who makes it this far is mere meters away from romania. suddenly things take a turn. a man has cut through the barbed wire fence and started running just a few meters short of romania. he stopped by the border guards. the man remains calm. not resisting. he knows he'll only receive
4:43 pm
a fine for trying to cross the border. he doesn't answer our questions about his escape attempt. the border guards have done their duty. she still, i'm indifferent. seduce me. there's no anger, no joy, either as do you know this to of martial law, restricting fundamental rights, inviolable in peace time. how long can a democratic society endure? this situation? the picturesque villages are emptying out sufferings on the rise, as he is compassion for people evading military service to pursue the moving everyone from a village fall into yet no one joined the army because they were drafted along up that was at the beginning of the war now people are saving themselves, however they come to the most boot. benicia used to be a village of 500 people. then dozens of men went to the front family man, 4 were killed. many lost arms. and legs is the time of the quick
4:44 pm
use of those. of course, i don't want to give out territories to russia. this load or somehow everything has wound up in a dead in the public schools that people are dying, dying dying with nothing to show for it. oh, how does it start to choose from one young every day. soldiers are being buried in ukraine. funeral ceremonies like this one and louise had become routine. public sympathy remains high. despite all the tensions, the people remain united in their grief and their hope for a just peace. what is a climate tourist? exactly? is it someone who travels to a place to save it,
