six consecutive nights. re-enforcements from romania started to arrive friday morning. we are firefighters and we have to help people around the world. reporter: in the uk, the london fire brigade remains on high alert and describes the city as tinderbox dry. water companies have introduced bans given the drought conditions, stopping people from watering their gardens, washing cars or cleaning windows. even the river has dried up further downstream than ever before. this is the climate crisis in action that i am stood in about that deep, 15 kilometers into it. i should be a lot wetter than i am right now. reporter: germany s river rhine exceptionally low, threatening further disruption on germany s most important inland water way, used for transporting chemicals and grain, it is crucial for the movement of coal, which is in higher demand as germany races to fill storage facilities ahead
crossable, but the ukrainian government say it s damaged enough to prevent russians from using it to send in more heavy armor and other re-enforcements. the russians admit the bridge is closed off, but downplayed the bombing. local pro-russian officials saying the attack will ultimately have no effect on the outcome of the war. this as ukrainian authorities say russians are sending additional troops to the south. analysts say russia is preparing for a ukrainian counteroffensive that is slowly gathering strength in that part of the country. but in the eastern donetsk region, it s the russians on the front foot. these scenes from the town under relentless shelling by russian forces. one man recorded the aftermath of strikes on a nearby town and surveyed the damage. he says, missile attack. everything is completely
