Scientists are developing a new white loaf thats just as healthy as wholegrain. Hello. We begin in the us and the Student Protests sweeping the country against the war in gaza. Overnight these were the scenes on campuses on the west coast and east coast. Clashes between rival student groups, and clashes with police who were called to both the University Of California in los angeles and Columbia University in new york. At ucla, there were skirmishes between pro israeli and pro Palestinian Protesters, with the Vice Chancellor Calling in police after what she described as � horrific acts of violence�. Scenes like this went on for hours, with pepper spray being used. At Columbia University, where the protests started, officers dressed in riot gear cleared students from Hamilton Hall which had been taken over yesterday. Police also moved in to disperse students from the encampment that had built up over weeks. The demonstrators have demanded that the University Cut Ties with israel. Live now to our correspondent, nomia iqbal in new york. We nomia iqbal in new york. Saw dramatic scenes at c of we saw dramatic scenes at a variety of campuses across the us overnight. Just take us through it and the reaction there has been. Tensions have been reaction there has been. Tensions have been bubbling reaction there has been. Tensions have been bubbling for reaction there has been. Tensions have been bubbling for some reaction there has been. Tensions. Have been bubbling for some time, ever since October The 7th when hamas attacked israel and the response by israel, here at Columbia University, this is almost been the focal point for nationwide protests. Its where all the other encampments have gained their inspiration from. However, last night, universities on both sides of the country decided to crack down. As the darkness came, so did the violence. The tension between the pro Palestinian Protesters encamped at ucla and the pro israel demonstrators boiled over. Screams ring out as fireworks are let off in the dense encampment. Pieces of plywood turned into weapons. Thankfully, i am physically safe. A lot of my peers are not physically safe. Its not clear yet what sparked the fighting. The Los Angeles Police were called to the scene at the request of the university. The Vice Chancellor has condemned the events as a horrific act of violence. On the other side of the country, at Columbia University in new york, where the protests originally started, police entered the campus. It comes nearly two weeks since they last went in, sparking huge controversy. And a day after some demonstrators seized a building inside campus, breaking the windows and barricading themselves in. For the university, it was a red line. Dozens have been arrested in this new police raid. Dozens of riot police are behind us here. We are at Columbia University, the actual entrance to the campus is just to my left. You cannot get anywhere near it. The police have blocked it off entirely. Just earlier, we saw some students being arrested. They had their hands behind their backs, with white zip ties, being loaded onto buses and further to the right to have more student protesters, more pro Palestinian Protesters on the other side of the barricade shouting, shame, shame, shame at the police. The University Set a deadline of monday to clear the encampment. Students who did not move are now being suspended. Protesters told us they were hopeful talks could still continue with the university. Their demands included cutting off economic and academic ties with israeli institutions. But given this latest police action, hope for reconciliation seems even further away. Nomia iqbal, bbc news, new york. Im joined now by a student at Columbia University.

Ive been speaking to james gelvin, professor of middle east history at ucla. He was at the encampment yesterday, i asked him what the past 2a hours have been like. Well, its been chaos on campus. There have been peaceful protest on campus since thursday, and there were several provocations on sunday and monday, and then last night, things came to a head. I hate to use the cliche Outside Agitators, but there were Outside Agitators that came onto campus, a large numberfrom the isreali american council, with the idea that what they were going to do was bust of the encampment, and this is exactly what happened. Give me an idea what it is like trying to go about your business during all of this whilst this is all been going on around you over the recent days. It is been an inconvenience at worst for students and myself. We have had to use different entrances to buildings, for example, but no way these buildings were barricaded off, the campus was certainly open to people, both students and non students to come onto campus. So, mainly, it was at peaceful protest and things came to a head three nights in a row, and unfortunately, the two sides had to be separated. Actually, it wasnt the two sides that had to separated, the assault on the encampment had to be ended. That was Professorjames Galvin talking to me earlier on todays verified life. Now to a powerful report. The father of a seven Year Old Girl who was crushed to death last week on an inflatable boat trying to cross the channel has told the bbc of his desperation when he couldnt save her. Sara who was travelling with her mother and older siblings was one of five people who died as the boat, overcrowded with migrants trying to reach the uk, Set Off From A Beach South of calais. Andrew harding reports. This was the scene last week as smugglers clashed with police on a french beach. And in the middle of the chaos, one unforgettable image of a small girl perched on her fathers shoulders. A seven Year Old Girl with moments left to live. We now know her name was sara, and this is her story. Sara was born in belgium but grew up in sweden, one of three children. Here they are with theirfather, ahmed. Hed fled from iraq in 2009, and spent years trying but failing to get permission to settle anywhere in europe. He got married, worked, had children, but his Asylum Appeals were rejected. Instead, he says, the whole family faced deportation to iraq. Which is why ahmed brought them here instead, hiding with smugglers in these dunes near calais. So you were with your whole family here, all five of you . With family, with everybody in the family. Stay seat for this side. Ahmed brought us back to the french coast to explain what had happened and why he put his family in such danger. He shows me how they rushed towards the sea. You are racing . Yes. Trying to get to the water before the police . Yes. It must have been scary for the children. Yeah. The Police Caught up with them near the waters edge. We were there, too, filming the whole incident. The smugglers fighting back. And then here on the right, sara, in a pinkjacket, making her way towards the boat, Still Holding herfather� s hand. A little later, you can see her on ahmeds shoulders. Then she disappears into the wildly overcrowded boat. A rival group of smugglers had directed their passengers from sudan towards the same boat. As more migrants piled on board, you can hear Ahmed Shouting for help. Translation she said, help me, dad, but i couldnt reach her. There were people standing on top of us, and sara disappeared below me. I was trapped. I told one man to move. I screamed and hit him. But he just looked away. Ashore, the French Police made no further attempt to intervene. It was only later at sea that a rescue boat finally took people away to reveal saras dead body. Translation finally, when the rescue boat came, they started to pull people out, to pull out the dead. Then i saw sarah. Then i saw sara. She was in the corner. Herface was blue. She wasnt breathing. There will be people watching this who will say, why did you take that risk . Why were you prepared to take such a risk for you and yourfamily to try to get to england . How do you explain that . Translation the sea was my last option. I applied 1a times for asylum, but they were all denied. I went to belgium, to sweden, to finland. I didnt want any hand outs. My wife and i can both work. All i wanted was for my kids to go to school. To have dignity. Before she left sweden, sara drew this family portrait. Thats her on the right. Today, her Old School Teacher said the class was mourning her death. Translation she was a kind of nice. Girl with lots of friends at school. When we heard she died, we gathered in a circle and had a minutes silence. They were such a nice family. I was really shocked to learn they were being deported. Sarah and her siblings had only ever lived in europe. Herfuneral is expected in the coming days. For herfather, there is grief and guilt, and still no clarity about which country he and his broken family can ever call home. Andrew harding, bbc news in northern france. To let you know, andrew has written a longer piece and it is currently on the bbc website, so do had their and more from those interviews that andrew has compiled over the last seven days. The first migrant said to be deported from the uk to rwanda have been detained, a series of operations have taken place across the country in recent weeks, with more in the future. The government wants the first flights travelling to rwanda to take over the summer. Im tense Amnesty International said the announcement was shameful and the announcement about those being detained was callous. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. The 14 year old boy killed in a sword attack in east london yesterday has been named as daniel anjorin. He went to bancroft� s school, the same as grace omalley kumar, who was killed in nottingham last year. The Police Officers wounded in the incidents yesterday suffered horrific injuries according to the metropolitan Police Commissioner, with one officer coming close to losing her hand. Lets speak to our reporter Azadeh Moshiri shes in hainault. Take us through the developments. The police and community here have been trying to understand how this couldve happened, as well as details of this tragic incident. Throughout the day, more of those details have been coming through, of course we have that name now daniel anjorin, of the 14 year old boy who was killed. He was a pupil at bancroft school, a school at the scene to tragedies happen in less than a year. Based On Mattie Kumar on a former pupil killed last year in the nottingham attack, and is something the acknowledged appearance in the statement the bbc has seen. As for daniel, they described him as a child with a gentle character and they described him as a true scholar and we are hearing more about what injuries some of the victims have sustained. Of course, two Police Officers were also injured and the met Police Commissioner revealed that one male officer had his hand badly damaged, but it is a largely repaired, and a female officer would have a much longer recovery. In his words, he said that doctors had to put her arm back together. As for this community, the flowers that are being made for daniel and his family. The increased police presence, and some members of the community who have been coming here to pray for daniel and his family, its not a reminder that hainault is home to a tragedy. Israel has reopened across into gaza, Internationalaid Israel has reopened across into gaza, International Aid agencies have a question for the opening to the ribbon. Americas top diplomat Antony Blinken has met the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leading government figures injerusalem On The Last Day of his middle east tour. The discussions are understood to have included getting more aid into gaza and the latest Ceasefire Proposal which hamas has yet to respond to. Mr blinken says hes determined to get a deal to secure the release of hostages and the only obstacle to that is hamas. Live now to our security correspondent, frank gardner. Frank, interesting comments in the last little while from israels Opposition Leader who has told the us Secretary Of State that israels Prime Minister has no excuse not to support a dealfor the release Prime Minister has no excuse not to support a deal for the release of israeli hostages. He added that if some right wing members of the government resigned in protest, he would step in to ensure that the Prime Minister still had a majority. So, where are we with this possible new hostage deal . New hostage deal . Right, well, at the hostage new hostage deal . Right, well, at the Hostage Dealer new hostage deal . Right, well, at the Hostage Dealer kind new hostage deal . Right, well, at the Hostage Dealer kind of new hostage deal . Right, well, at the Hostage Dealer kind of hangs i the Hostage Dealer kind of hangs in the Hostage Dealer kind of hangs in the balance, we still dont know what hamass response would be, but we know there will be a huge amount of political pressure coming from both sides on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because the americans really want the deal to go through, the Hostage Families want to do to go through, but the hard line at right wingers here in israel are opposed to it, and there are certain to walk. The comments by the Opposition Leader, and a man who many israelis think could be tipped to be the next Prime Minister, they are significant. The fact that she is supporting the steel and said he would step in is quite significant. From the israeli side, it is probably going to be a green light. What we dont know yet are what hamas objections are. We know what they want and and altogether, its auto cease fire, which is something Benjamin Netanyahu is not appeared to continence.

Frank gardner in jerusalem, thank you lets turn only from the heavy lifting to this question. How would you like bread thats as nutritious as wholemeal, but looks and tastes just like a sliced white loaf . Scientists in wales are hoping to enhance White Bread Flour by adding small quantities of peas, beans and cereals, as well as traces of bran and wheat germ. Earlier we spoke to dr amanda lloyd Senior Researcher and Co Investigator on this study at aberwythswyth university. I asked her if it would taste like the real thing. Thats what were hoping for. Were hoping to produce a loaf that is appealable and the consumer desires it. So the same properties that the consumer wants. And tell me how youre doing it. Were looking at the different mill streams from the Milling Process to put back in some of the germ, some of the bran, the removed from the grain, the wholegrain. Were putting that back in. But looking at the characteristics of the flour to retain the softness and to create a functional product that is the same as the white bread. And then also were looking at different cereals and different legumes and pulses to see whether or not they could be incorporated. And then also to retain the same sensory attributes as normal white bread and then add in that natural fortification. So instead of including artificial fortified ingredients like calcium and iron and b vitamins, doing it in a natural more bioavailable way. Its really fascinating to try to unlock all of those things at the same time. A real puzzle for you. What is the additional nutritional value, do you think, and how soon before you could get this perhaps mainstream . Just briefly. So were adding in those natural calcium, natural and natural b vitamins, and alsojust general nutrition, fiber to improve the quality of the bread, but retain those characteristics. And were hoping within the two years well have that loaf on the shelf for the consumer thats accessible and available to all. Doctor amanda lloyd, fascinating. Lets end the programme were restarted, the Student Protests at University Campuses, like pictures here from ucla, and the question is after the police cleared the demonstrations, will they continue at that variety of us universities . You are watching bbc news. Hello there. Were seeing a change across southern parts of the uk. Eventually, some heavy rain and thunderstorms moving in here. We also got overnight some more mist and fog, low cloud developing more widely. And for some areas of scotland in particular, it was a struggle to clear that all day. In marked contrast, in norfolk here, weve seen temperatures over 20 degrees in the sunshine. But at the same time, weve also seen this cloud moving up from france. And its that thats bringing some rain into parts of england and wales this evening. Thatll push up towards Northern Ireland as well before retreating back towards the south west. And as that happens, well see some heavier rain later in the night and more of that mist and fog and low cloud pushing further inland further north. Temperatures, well, typically 8 or 9 degrees, so pretty mild overnight, but getting wet and quite stormy potentially across southern parts of england and wales by the early hours, some heavy rain, thunder, lightning and some large hail and gusty winds. Maybe some disruption. The worst of it may push away, but it could stay wet for much of the day in South West England and south wales. And we may well find some further heavy bursts of rain developing in other southern areas, drifting later into the midlands and north wales. Further north, its dry, increasing amounts of sunshine away from these coastal areas in South East Scotland and north east england, where theres going to be a cold wind blowing. Temperatures not too high in the south west, where it stays wet, but itll be a warmer day for Northern Ireland, warming the sunshine for Western Scotland and again for the north west of england. Now, there is warmer air coming ourway from the continent at the moment. Its coming over the cold seas of the north sea, which is why were seeing that mist and low cloud. Thats to the north of that weather front, and thats bringing the rain on friday and its moving northward. So weve got a bit more rain more widely for england and wales. Some bursts of rain likely across southern scotland, perhaps Northern Ireland. Northern scotland seeing some sunshine and later in southern most parts of england. Temperatures here only around 13 or 1a degrees. And on the whole, temperatures are going to be lower because of the cloud and rain, but we still could make 20 degrees in Western Scotland for one more day. But even here, the weather will change on saturday, as the cloud and whats left of the rain pushes into scotland and Northern Ireland. More cloud for northern england. But to the south, the weekend starts on a brighter note and a dry note with some sunshine. Itll feel warm in the sunshine and temperatures 16 or 17 degrees, but those temperatures dropping in scotland. Welcome to bbc news.
