much of this battle is fought avoiding the artillery threat. in underground bunkers like these where local ukrainian commanders can respond to russian attacks. they re assaulting our positions from early morning till night he tells me, but the real problem is we are heavily outnumbered he says. but the innovative use of low cost tech is helping to bridge that gap. in another front line bunker we saw how commercially available drones are giving ukraine an edge. that s incredible. we ve just seen an artillery strike in the position that the ukrainian drone operators have identified being full of russian. you can see russian soldiers running for cover as ukrainian artillery pounds their positions.
just a few nights of fun. i m looking for someone who will let loose, dress up a little, see a show, order the steak, and the lobster. some people say i m excessive, but who cares. i just want to enjoy some late nights. and some very late checkouts. think you can keep up? all right. you can hear the incoming rounds. the incoming rounds from russian artillery fire are really intensive here. that was cnn s matthew chance on the front lines of ukraine s battle after months of relentless missile attacks. ukrainian troops hold on as both

china and the crackdown and what s going on there, the chinese people showing up in the streets. can you put this in context for us. watching ukraine and china, both of the governments, russia, use information warfare first before conventional warfare and in many ways, china is at the forefront of control through data. which is creeping through the world. china has consolidated control a friend of mine, who ran apple tv in hong kong, he is in prison. he didn t expect that this would happen but the world has fallen off the cliff. one of the things that you say so brilliantly. you ve been a journalist for so many years 36. you ran the jakarta bureau. i opened the jakarta bureau, the manila bureau. it s great to be here. you talk about freedom and the way you put it is, you really don t know what freedom is until you re about to lose
