This is the place to have a 3 exchange of ideas. The people are protesting peacefully. I believe that, you know, thats right, that we have the yet when you, when you stand up for that, this is what happens. Holes are coming up. The European Union offers levin on a 1000000000 euros in a to try and stop the flow of Syrian Refugees into your this after you remember cyprus complained about boatloads of refugees from that i dont about a long icons stay here against the width of the libby.

Welcome to the day us President Joe Biden has spoken hours about the pro palestinian student protests that have been spreading to universities around the country. As the president said, the order must prevail, loss of demonstrations defied calls to disband, and in some cases became violent. Oh, this is a police clear, becomes the protest of success up outside the university of california and los angeles. As the demonstrators have clashed with counter protest, this will not be sold present by the said the protests will not influence in case policy on the war and gaza until you defended the students rights to protest while making clear. But the freedom of speech has its limits. Weve all seen the images and they put to the test for 2 fundamental american principles, excuse me. The 1st is the right to free speech for people to peacefully assemble and make their voices her. Second is the rule of law. Both must be upheld. We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence. People are squash to say. There should be no place on any campus, no place in america for enter semitism, or threats of violence against jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind. Because in 5, no sir, said he didnt believe the National Guard ought to be called in, but hes Presumptive Republican challenger. And this is the election in november and for the present. Donald trump, of course, the price, the white police cleared the Columbia University in new york saying other schools should follow suit. It took a beating, but the police came in and in exactly 2 hours everything was over. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Every College Resident and i say remove the in tap and so immediately vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all of the normal one, a safe place from which to learn. One of the students key pro test at the mans as being the universe is cut, that ties to companies who do business with these, right . The military or supplies or even with is right partnerships all together. Protest as a brown, you invest in providence, rhode island, celebrated after the school agreed to meet the student representatives, to consider divestment. And we send students agree to dismantle that protests come bronze. The 1st major us getting past due to signal willingness to consider divestment. Chris mazda condo is an assistant professor of educational studies that to Davidson College in North Carolina who specializes in Higher Education financing policies. Welcome to d w. What im looking at this story, one of the 1st questions that strikes me is why, why are universities investing in israel . So universities are invested in lots of different things, just like an american for a one k retirement account. They invest broadly so that they can have returns and all different ways and ensure that their investments provide the revenue that are, that is needed to supplement operating revenue, tuition fees, ex, every services that and how much are we talking about . Or it just depends on what you think of as an investment in israel. Students are called lang for divestment, from weapons manufacturers divestment from his really businesses, but also divestment from it from any business that does business with any business. And israel and that section of the economy is pretty large. So it just depends on the university and its an investment strategy, but by large universities are invested in Global Companies that do do business. And thats real saying, the why do you explain to you . Explain it as though this is noble, its every day im and of course it is. But were talking about institutions investing a massive amounts of institutions. Whos constituents, if i can put it that way. Uh, quite loud, quite noisy, quite boisterous, quite now they, im surprised the sort of demonstrations havent happened more in the past about sundry issues. So they have happened in the past that happened around fossil fuel divestment pushes for universities to invest more heavily in green energy. And divest from Oil Companies are petrol companies. And they certainly happened 40 years ago with respect to apartheid in south africa. 30 years ago last week was the anniversary of Nelson Mandelas election victory as president of south africa. Functionally inducing apartheid us students were protesting for that very event reality. 10 years prior. Yeah, i was going to told you about that. I was one of those students, not in the us, but in the u. K. Who, who was protesting against investment, one of the big targets was Barclays Bank and in the u. K. Uh, back then thats 3040 years ago when they eventually did come out of south africa. There were lots of reasons given button. The fact that they played down the effect of the student a protest. I wonder how effective you think that would be covered in protests, unlikely to be you not to be guessing, universities a, to take that money out in terms of getting universities to take their money out. Far less likely than getting universities and University Constituencies to press put pressure on the binding administration and on Prime Minister netanyahu yahoo, in israel, we know that economic divestment from universities made a little very little impact on the fossil fuel industry. Theres some argument that economic pain felt by University Divestment in south africa. Wasnt that great at least as much as it was. The political pain students may be asking for divestment, but what they really want is a ceasefire and israel and as a, as far as we know now theyve gotten the attention of the israeli Prime Minister, who stated just last week that he was paying attention to these protests, now heres the problem. Graduation is round the corner. The Academic Year is almost over. Can students keep that attention . After graduation its you have to be seen. Be interested in your thoughts on a couple of different responses to these divestment calls. We have Brown University on the one side, agreeing to hear from the student representatives before getting it to the board to vote on the issue. And we have columbia on the other side, just saying no. And there are tremendous differences in the approaches the student groups have taken. And of course, have tremendous differences in the response. Columbia match students with force inviting police on to their campus, really putting into question the extent to which the Great University believes and Academic Freedom and freedom of speech. On the other hand, brown students asked for a specific ask, asking for the brown corporation, their board of trustees to examine a proposal that would enable divestment from just 11 companies. Almost all of them defense manufacturers are in the Aerospace Industry that narrowly targeted divestment ask is definitely going to be met by less resistance then, divesting from what amounts to the Global Economy should be no surprise that Brown University students have been working towards this far before october 7th, and the for the, the how mazda is attacks on israel are finally now getting some traction with a very specific targeted huntsville. Thats a fascinating inside chris mossey on from davis and collars. Thank you so much. Thank you for having the feel. Its been a pleasure one and to david is stopping its business savings we have is rileys trucking, which is suspended to trade with the country. Statements by to his trade Ministry Said if taking the decision due to what they call the worsening humanitarian tragedy in the palestinian territories, they went on to say it will less betray bound when there is a uninterrupted flow of 8 into gaza. Earlier. Israels foreign minister blamed tuck is present budget type o m and said the decision breaks trade agreements. You posted the statement on the social Media Network acts saying this is how a dictator behaviors. Disregarding the interest of the turkish people, businessman and ignoring International Trade agreements of the 11 on a set to receive its 1000000000. 00 a package from the e. U, as its just as, as it is a to tackle illegal migration. Speaking in by roots, you chief us, it off on the line, said the block would provide a 1000000000 euros to that, but on itd be 10 fold that. But on timing exposure, shes amazing. Whereas the Prime Minister and that g. Mccarthy, as well as the president of a new member, cyprus, because of its location in the mediterranean city. Cypress is dealing with a shop increase in the number of Syrian Refugees arriving by boat from lebanon. I just loving the a you for months to extend aid to level 11 on a home to more than 2000000 syrians over half of who entered the country. Illegally that put on itself is in the middle of his worst ever economic crisis. And many lebanese, say, the number of syrians in that country is making the situation was very rude. Bureau chief, mohammeds shots, a report, and a warning. You may find some of the images and hes report distressing. The fresh wave of fury at syrians and living on this time it looks much more serious. The recent mother of lucas cushion party official, allegedly at the hands of the Court Jackson gang of the serial number of notes, passed through goods fighting and spend vitriol that syrians independent, including displaced refugees, a sled war towards 2 years. 10 years ago now he feels being displaced again, this time from living on the model room and we are afraid and barely sleep at night. And every time someone knocks at the door and we fear that someone has come to attack us, you do not. Im unable to go to work or to the supermarket did after not lose. I cant leave home nonsense and ive been there. Ive been receiving threats, demanding. I leave the neighborhood within 5 days. And this is where should i go to manage all . Thats what comes to your model. Ok, so i cant go back to cereal box with him. Im wanted and would it be immediately drafted into the military . Im a clubhouse rec, oscar. None of buttons are. Thats what im headed better for you. As opposed to old syrians and bows have moved. You must leave your shops and residences by friday at the latest youve been warned for tens, a few syrians have lived in this neighborhood together with the minis, mainly christians. But now the syrian run shops have been shut down and many serious companies have left their rent as homes. If they took over our businesses and replaced this, they come into 11 and illegally and are increasingly committed crimes and murders. An online move in a little sodium. I want them out in any way possible. I mean, i just want them out. I a moment little they took our jobs and disrupted our lives about the lecture like that. But like how you like to live . I dont know, so i have a legal status can stay, but those are here. Illegally should leave, but attacking them is not acceptable under pressure by independence. Economy collapse and the countrys political paralysis deal told her to use our, echoing the sentiments, does not gotten the political edge, the security closest and the police to family, and strictly implemented lebanese low on the Syrian Refugees is different. And hosts the greatest number of refugees per capita of any country into what more than 2000000. 00 students in lebanon formed 45 percent of the population. This would be equivalence of nearly 38000000 refugees in germany. And some 163000000 refugees in the United States of america. These sort of numbers are very significant in the context of depend on security and power shading model. The vast majority of the refugees are sunni muslims. That has been feuding fears of a huge demographic imbalance in the country with christians and muslims chair power equally in new jersey and of political unity. Why the Political Parties are calling for the quotation of Syrian Refugees pushing many of them towards choices that is making udall very nervous. A lot of had that a long icons stay here against the wind locally beneath my water sewer down. When i dont know what to do, but honestly the fun is im not that that i hate going. I may try to leave for another country or im on no bucks a month. I know i have no other choice, but has it go through and the go to migrant focus on the with on word migration for you to roots out of reach the dangerous c journeys to you will only increase lawmakers in the Solomon Islands have picked a new Prime Minister and election that was closely watched by the pacifics magic powers. Jeremiah been a, as a full of a foreign minister whose place to continue following policies of ever close the ties with china, of the Solomon Islands occupying a strategic position northeast of australia, which is of interest to china. And his goal of expanding its influence in the pacific new Prime Minister says hell bring more infrastructure to the items. Australia has traditionally being the occupant goes biggest, dont it . But china is catching up and has constructed roads, a sport state in the Telecommunications Network because of these. My parking novak isnt in the pacific joe politics experts with the atlantic council, a think tank. He joins us from washington. D. C, a. Welcome to the w. Lets talk with y b u. S. In china cash so much about who leads this tiny little chain of islands of the east coast of Papua New Guinea and north of australia. Oh yeah, good to be wasted today. I think the answer to that is that did you because of the geo political location of the pacific islands, the wider region, terry is your quarter point vocations for a know pacific cio politics which are very much relevant to china. The United States, australia, and other countries in the region. And because of the Solomon Islands location, or stripe p c lanes and then that one easier to tell go. It was a lot of interest from outside powers and ultimately sure, able to exercise influence in the Solomon Islands. Youre able to then project influence outwards, potentially. I think thats the whole point. What interest of china is our embrace of the song . Ok, so the previous Prime Minister grab the worlds attention when he signed the security deal with china back in 2022. And the new guy jeremiah manila looks like hes going to continue these countries that china friendly stands. Why . Whats in it for the the Solomon Islands, as the argument said mister, solved already made during the Election Campaign that miss durham. And they like others on with them made in the campaign and argue, was that a whining was the Solomon Islands not only is bring them increased development benefit from china, particularly in the economic problem, but also is causing other outside powers like australia in the United States. To cuba with Additional Development in economic aid that would not otherwise be there. Um, i think theres, you know, certainly debate to be had as to whether chinese 8 has had the desired impact within the country or not. And, you know, well, mr. Song of all right was well known for his embrace of china. It was the republican floor. Were leaning about it. You know, mr. Mcnaly was his foreign minister for 5 years. And he was ultimately a key architect to the deal. But one of the folks who spearheaded it during the song of our administration, and we can expect that broadly speaking to continue. Right . So its coming from from what youre from. But i, i gather its a very nuanced document, but it does sound like the Solomon Islands are playing one side off again. So you have a. So thats, thats, that is the case. Yeah, i think theres a lot of commentary and analysis around that is effectively argues that i do think one angle that is important to mention is that with mr. Sort of vari, wasnt office, there was also an electrical drive to have for personal and professional reasons. He is known for having a bit of an anti australian attitude, so there was also an element of that a quite and i think mister saldivar, i also saw it by securing Additional Development aid from china that he wouldnt be able to exercise influence over how was the spence and the country that was going to help him hold power at home and when the election, which, you know, you had mixed results on. Obviously hes not returning his Prime Minister, but he is still returning as a member hardwood for his constituency. And can certainly be expected to exercise influence with forward, despite not holding the top job. Okay, so do you have the us, australia, or indeed the west in general have we or we dont the full here. I let china sort of a slide in without, without just noticing because im the us at child have been taking the Solomon Islands respectively for granted. Or whether it happened unnoticed or noticed. It really depends on who you ask. You know, theres a lot of folks who make arguments one way or the other. But i think the fact is that once diplomatic recognition from someone i was, was set from china to taiwan. And particularly when that Security Agreement was made in 2022. That was western countries off. Youve since seen the United States, for example, the embassy and on the are, you see increased are still in developing that hes an economic aid. And hes certainly seen western powers, you know, really wake up and, you know, think theres something to be said that they might be behind the 8 ball little bit a little bit. But theyre certainly making sense. And i think they may see a sliver of opportunity with the new Prime Minister, despite being points to probably continue the countries look north for an awesome. Okay, so playing, playing at both sides off against each other. Off Solomon Islands is baffled, likely to look around and then i dont know, 2 years, 4 years, 10 years time is like, oh look, weve got add port schools shops, houses. Are they going to see some tangible benefits . That is the intense and that was something mr. Sort of already tried to argue during the campaign that it was bringing better economic benefits that the infrastructure safe for the Pacific Games was bolstering the countrys National Pride in regional went fluids. But he saw his opponents during the campaign. You know, argue against that with one minister, one example being the power, montreal possession meter, matthew wildlife. Were essentially criticized mr. Sort of all right. Are we getting stadiums built in . Not funding hospitals, not building schools in argue that chinese a was not actually delivering the promise benefits. And if you look at the state of the Solomon Islands economy, it is one of the more under sell except for is in the world. Poverty is pretty high, health care is lacking. You know, i think its, theres something to be said the Chinese Development has not delivered or kind of promised to talk here through that pocket novak from the atlantic council. Thank you. Thank you.
