but there is a significant risk of human extinction from it nationally. i system series continues d, w. the photo governance and a photographer is reporting a new cream for the 8th time, the ph coming, right. there's always a chill on something we'll have to do the thing i want to take these pictures. and of course i also don't want to die and didn't forget. elizabeth and the journalist was studying and you, cree, when the invasion started. cut along so that in the coming a war report, it was never my career plan. i reacted to the situation. that's why i'm doing it. see, it also comes into play because, you know, the dangerous real is that we,

but it's been over 2 years since the full scale russian invasion of ukraine's vincent and elizabeth. i've been reporting on the invasion since the beginning for a journalist wants to give the people on the ground of voice and they expose themselves to a great deal of risk to do it. the vincent is 36 for the past 7 years. he's been traveling the world working as a freelance photographer for major german and international newspapers. it's been for the cost of one and i became a photographer because i wanted to understand processes and political events seem to really be with things are happening, thoughts as well. just watching from a distance at the fund, the team and there's been shop the main topics i cover, the human rights issues management. it's also active conflict. it's like a new crime victim. you know, cutting the,

the key desires of the key prepares for every trip carefully. this can be used as every country has its own dynamic contain john make and then its own rules. so you have to follow when traveling around most the. ready interruption mistake. it's incredibly important to approach in each country with the famous again as mine though, if i just want to keep adapting to it. and so you have to avoid overlying it with a template, some past experiences, or should i see them? because then you can quickly make mistakes as to the new crime guns. the danger is clearly the shelling before so often entering an area that is being combined. if i look at some multi shelves that are kind of the of the dangers of mine. i mean, of course, it depends on the area under, which means it's overall heading so many, many, many minds have been light. that's also dangerous. and in the file ship,

i guess i'm okay and it's all right. and i started working in new crime on the 25th of february, 5th to the day off to the full scale russian invasion. started uncomfortable. it's always a bit of an upset feeling of doing it, a few. everyone's trying to get out and stuff i knew go in, but you know if that is, but it felt right to be that line. it's 7. see that? i think somehow if the ball started right now, yeah. and i are in the, in the sitting here in the office with some jump today and i was just following it from the farm for, for if i couldn't do that same discount. as for, for healy even see, the vincent organizes his equipment and what fill out the impacts, the 1st aid kit for emergencies of them. the, even though this time that he is not reporting from the trenches positive isn't the doctor almost 2 years in blog. if we don't know what the trends looks like, i mentioned, we've seen how people kind of get rid of them or not enough cuz that's what i'm looking for. stories to say something about the will the toaster say something

about life and death from. but that doesn't necessarily have anything to do directly with the soldiers. the vincent sets off for ukraine, the stink of kind of good fish to, i don't think any story or photo is worth your life. that's clear to me, but it, i would never deliberately put myself in an extremely dangerous situation, because i think i might get a special image of the daughters. and because under dispute eliza elizabeth 29th with the study slavic studies, and makes them key 1st in cuba. and now in berlin, by people get quite a few rates about ukraine for newspapers like insight, tots,

and keep out for the the new studio falls miles, cuz you've been trying to keep them through this research trip. i chose the topic of reconstruction. i'm traveling to bounce goods of keeping on all to the villages that was it pirated. so right now i definitely have to think about security issues and from something shipped a matter of orientation. you have to know what's the situation with a shelters and you've been fair. where can you find accommodation? i also have an app on my phone. would you let me when there is an air range alarm in case you can, if you're familiar with the dangers, then you can somewhat for pass them on on coming to us from i've had, since i've mentioned i'm to the before her departure. she calls her parents again that even explains the itinerary to the fast to the polish border. that's around 8 to 9 hours. then we'll take the night train again to try it right now.

okay, i'm very worried, but i mean, i'd like it if you could call me regularly. yeah. that'd be not you know, buying on. i've seen how close to in my cream is too hot here in town for the home . it was on from on the question the never on it's you drawn to investigate things compress. the guardian angel is always gonna have to use my belie states. elizabeth elizabeth initially wrote about the cultural seat in ukraine since the full scale russian invasions and also she is reported on the impact of the war on the people and ukraine's of the mention the support i didn't necessarily want to report on the wall. i had a different focus so, so in ukraine,

but this is the situation and i don't want to give up just because there's a war. the elizabeth has arrived and the ukrainian capital kids. she'll be staying with her friend, hannah, somebody who lives here and works for kyra tacit onto the comic us all back of about how with the last few weeks. i mean, i've heard of not the rock attacks last night and the night before last, you know, as gets bigger in this. yes, there are lots of alarms. again, let me start with sirens, going off at night level, and it's always different. the night before last. it was rockets, the sirens went off for 3 hours. well. so then you can either go into the cord or you've experienced that right. but it's always safer to go down to the metro

station. always the but in austin and the far east, if you create, you know, location kept secret to prevent attacks from the russian army. vincent is waiting to shoot his 1st stories to refuse to photograph fumes of con. it's been that i must have tiger here in, in how i've been here for a time, the office. and it's the headquarters of the hospitality. as it is a medical unit that takes wounded soldiers from the front to the hospital to combine the weight with them all for the next mission. and that's just gotten rid of and fun. it always depends on when injured soldiers have to be taken from the front to the hospital and now it's just a matter of white thing. tysons hit that until houghton does not need to hire

a medic battalion consists of around 300 staff members 1000. so it was funded in 2014, in response to fighting an eastern ukraine. also, soldiers, artifacts from the battle field or on display cannot grenades, artillery shells splinters. their fallen comrades are commemorated with pictures before taking their food to a vincent interview subjects to understand them better. best hopes of today he talked with me, caught him, it was brand new to the unit and i just and thank you so much for taking your time to, to talk to, to me. and how old are you actually? i'm 25 years old, $0.25. and since when are you working with the hospital leaves? uh, this is my 1st rotation before those i finish some of course as far as civilian uh, ink. you me to be ready for a different situation. and then how, how does it feel now, to, to live with, with the war it's

hard to leave with the but uh, we want us to do something. and every one of us must a site on z or maybe easier on field of fight for site for fight for our families. friends. southern mission for the hospitality is the rescue bus head east towards the front

and i'm for summit routine and veronica, it's one of her 1st mission that's just minds. that's a vincent interviews. john, who is being with the group for months and what you said as a risk in this operations, there is a risk. so we are going closer to the front lines. we're seeing the with the russian invasion forces that they target hospitals. so there's less than the risk being close to hospitals. since we're part of this set up, we are 1st of all, so at risk of getting hit by a rocket, somebody size limit of time we have near the front of this. but of course, the closer to arch in the front lines, the higher the risk is to see the destination is the hospital that is closest to the front line in this area. for safety reasons, most of the location cannot be disclosed. and in fact, it has a potential target and soon as c, vincent is aware that being here is dangerous investigators because this is part of his job because this 14 of taking good photos and ukraine comes with the risk

locals. the $500.00 wounded soldiers are loaded onto the buses. they will be taken to a larger hospital just need proof of off to the business me without closer to the front line. and then you can have some of the shots from there in the background. and then you can tell the procedure here is very routine and very professional. it's like that. it's also shows how many wounded and injured soldiers are. all it doesn't say yes they do this every day. and i said sometimes several times a day on the line between life and death is very fine here. not everyone survives their injuries, like those who can enjoy a last cigarette before the journey. this light bill, there is nothing for the i'm still very affected by the suffering i see when i'm reporting here for me. oh and the i am is to make the holler. i mentioned that both

of us to make it possible not for the past and reading or watching the stories in the sense to imagine what it means to live in a situation like this one us as the daughter and so and as it was, the ones who named elizabeth is on her way to assure the suburb of keith, which one were fierce fighting to play shortly after the invasion began before some 1000 people lived here before the russian attack tools. many who fled never returned to look again for savage mess up the sofa. i've made a travel to areas that were occupied, where there was a lot of destruction where they were russians were. mass monitors took place, spoken to the people who witnessed that to do this because these are places we need to keep going to the most. the

bachelor's, the shooting was of, to the, to a moment to the defense of keith. i didn't get ended in late march 2023, with the suburbs. liberation from the russian occupier section is up 70 percent of the village was destroyed and per month now in many places, only ruins remain. elizabeth wants to find out from the residents both happen to see if she has an advantage over many other or in the quarters. here you speak go through median and russian. that doesn't need a translator. that's also good afternoon. do you live here? yes. oh yeah, i'm a journalist from gemini metz. this is my 1st time here in ocean left about did you survive the occupation as early as uh, fox or yesterday? far too many of them in our move, we usually get the whole bed as near. we weren't here during the occupation, so we had to leave on the 5th of march and it was terrible. we had to leave under

fire. i live here with my child and took it with only we were given this container . you know, how many children do you have or not that one? i'm bringing the child up all by myself. that's the most, but then i didn't was that you house? yes, i put a lot of effort into it. and once i did a lot of repairs, so yeah, no matter what kind of house i had, it was my house to money, but they had my own room. you did my child had a room so you hm. so order to house street was destroyed, wasn't it? yes, that's right. okay. my neighbors son is in captivity, though. nobody knows what's going to happen. thank god, we survived the whole thing. yeah. for people who were you, there's washing, hang here. yes. this is the seller. this is where we had it has bullet. hol let me. thank god we're still a life. i'm including my child to do nothing worse has happened to us dollars to me . soft do you do you always shelter in here during

a rage alone. so new boy it's just a school be eligible. we're honestly, it depends. sometimes i don't run anymore, you know, whatever happens happens to be, there's no place that saves $2.00. whatever happens, this happens just really tired of the schedule to reside. you know, people who have died of people hit the ash co, died on the 4th or 5th of march, but it was completely torn apart. we can, we used to see if guess we use like my friend natasha's neighbor was shot dead and natasha, you used to see those as through a letter stating dolly showed up, looked at them darling to a boy who lived further down was or street all also shot dead, so young, killed only. how should we go on? are you talking me? i've lost all health care. i don't know what to do. it's hard to just leave someone like that behind knowing that. yeah, i'll go eventually back to germany. we can only hope that the volunteers will continue to help them that help from the state will come at some point. come to

the vincent has successfully completed his mission with a power methics and goes in all the photos he needs. he will spend the night on the train in order to get to his next story quickly. yes, think of most of the things that i as and as i, yes, you definitely have to be a good traveler to be able to make a living as a photographer. spends at least in this field or, and of course, travel assumption or energy disability. and that's why you need good energy management just a minute. there's always that moment when i'm in the living room and i think to myself, it's nice to be here when they can see my friends. i can come find food land and kind of find out when comes open as i have to say. as soon as i'm on the train or plain within the 1st few minutes, that feeling despite the notes in the center, and i always really enjoyed being on the wrong goals. and then can you send somebody to tell them that, excuse me,

out from nathan talk in said the following day and spell, you also typed in the hills of the car, pc, and mountains in western you crazy some time here as l squared. the military draft is in effect, and soon as men are called up listens, they have to serve the front springs that are often big. i'm on my way to the funeral, if i'm not totally, that's what a ukrainian soldiers dying some time ago on the separation front and they got sides . and as i believe jeff, one of the finest desires that they want. and if this is actually a region with its relatively untouched for the war like 100 years ago, you can go to any village and you'll find relatives who have lost loved ones that seems to me as your service to go. that's why think it's very important to show the impact of the world in thinking in areas it is not direct be associated with the wall. it's allison from that to show that every place in ukraine is ultimately effective by and taking it up from the top of this the whole village has come together to say good by the funerals like this or

a daily occurrence in ukraine. vincent vincent takes it into the court, treats of the grieving relatives for the talking. you know, from me, a good photograph is about translating a situation and toll sensors to that. so, and how does the situation feel? what does it smell like? and what do you here? what is the mood that somebody's positions for me personally? it's always a good photo when i look at it and thinking, yes, that's what it felt like. i'm go through the screen and then the one hand of course signs you need to have professional distance and the photographers are going to support us. notice tons and have to end and visit and click i'm could i set this new to the same time. you have to be there was a human being and feel the emotions when degrees ran with 2 on screwing or to tower . because translating a situation is not just about visuals. so initially,

it's also about conveying the feelings because it's, and self can be fitted. so that's the, the war brings contrasts with others. fighting on the front lines, bars and clubs are open in keys. yes. and spouse on elizabeth and her friend hanna, exchange updates, noise cutting also spare time is enough to play later that night. elizabeth cleats, her notes from the day, but suddenly the air raid sirens go off. keith is under attack by russian ruins and miss out. now as things have to move fast, you the safe place for elizabeth is under ground and because in the metro station gets mostly smoking, she is feeling with her own camera. excuse me to see if i can then come on this terror at night as really a physical bodily experience. even if you don't get hit by the bonus,

you react physically to it with trembling and complete attention. the to you indicate exhibits of touch them. elizabeth recording ends here, but the ones that she spends the night in the underground and remains on harmed. and these on the last night's attack was one of the most intense he had seen in months of the i'm just enough time to come in utah. and so this was a combined attack fast that withdrawn solves i picked and then came to real kits and crews messiah's moscow on this video shows a supermarket being hit. the 2 people died on firestone. this is all on stage, most most, it also comes into play, right? because you know the dangers real. ok. so for you to ship it whole, it's a very real physical threat of a threat to everyone's life. the most is,

it's in this stage of was not going to you have to think carefully about what your role is in this class. and i'm not the country that is being formed. it's been kind of not experienced or reporter with as to what i can do. is collect stories and shave them. yeah, because she's not staying my comfort zone in berlin. i'm missing my comfort. toner, consults, wondering buildings, so of to her butcher shop with a bodies of 458. the victims were 5 and after the time was liberated, one boot shrub became a symbol of russian war crimes against ukrainian civilians. even the kindergarten was not spared about the 2 employees were killed and the entire outdoor area was destroyed. after that, with the exception of a slide on this, everything has since been rebuilt through this and elizabeth wants to know how they are dealing with the war here in the

the painting a princess. very nice. little the on. yeah. can i ask you if you've ever been to the area shelter? how do you like it? the sure. it's okay. we can also paint there. the talking to kindergarten has set up a child friendly shelter. when the sirens go off alone, everyone has to go downstairs and stick it. how often do you have air? a to them? 3, it can be 3 or 4 times. but the nurse sits here on the she can examine the children here, if necessary. i would have 2 other children traumatized talking, so everyone is traumatized for you. all the stuff that we try to explain to them that if there is an error rate alarm, we all need to go down to the shelter,

quietly. sustain all the rules just because most of his design and good shot, especially the being here in butchers difficult. so i would say, i think so simply finding was for these major war crimes that happened on the experiences of the people involved. and it's still very important to tell the story, is that the whole and that's why we're here. ok, so call me vincent has decided to stay longer and ukraine to continue documenting the consequences of the war through his photographs. contain dealing with issues such as human rights violations are more on the changes you have costs and that. and when i'm in the land, i really appreciate the security side. i appreciate what it means to live in a place where there is no danger of missed all the tax target. and that's one thing . it is, make me very grateful that i'm talking about. the

elizabeth also wants to continue telling the stories of the people of ukraine. since i'm on the one hand, i find it's important to have these dangerous experiences to feel what it's like to face this concrete to multiple threat. ultimately to be able to understand how people have to live in less than 3 weeks after her research trip to ukraine. elizabeth is back in berlin's, and then she is working on 2 articles. i think for tots and forty's out, the interview for the trip was very intense because there were a lot of visits in the very short time. and i had a lot of conversations, you know, and it's a lot of responsibility to put these conversations into stories i've heard into tech tech for so the

people behind the stories are still a new crane and have a difficult winter ahead of them. the the,

the sales out stadium champion, robert s t u knows how to make the most out of this thing with people. not call your on your next to me, please let us know for him. it's not about the concerts, it's about the climate. he wants people in his home country to plant a 1000000 treat. this is ryan, are all in africa. in 30 minutes from d. w. russian espionage in the baltic sea. more and more often, ethnic magic russian research vessels are appearing in strategic locations. as more
