Hello everybody. Eventually, I managed to have a go at this week's puzzle. There are two clues where I have an answer but I can't really get the reasoning and I'd (as always) be grateful for either explanation or correction. The first one is
So, bit by bit, penetrating unsuccessfully in encroachment. I have ?n?a?i?n. So invasion fits and sort of means encroachment. But I can't work out the rest.
The other one is

Please can someone help me?
