CBS News reporter Deborah Potta provides a report from the eastern front lines near Liman, describing Ukrainian troops under "intense pressure." The segment features the use of controversial cluster munitions, which the artillery commander describes as crucial despite their international ban. The hosts mock the sound effects and dramatic staging of the news report.
