Sanitation and water crisis on the streets of guys that will be reporting on how diseases are spreading across the street from it, fears of color and ukraine issues restrictions on passports from military age men outside the country to address a shortage of troops at home. The restore at this news hour with the student protests in the United States. The camp setup at Columbia University in new york and solidarity with palestine as turned into a movement that spread across to the United States to europe and beyond students or demanding their schools divest from israel and columbia. They are promising to maintain their encampment until their demands are met. The universities have made several offers, promising to examine and review the investments. But its not enough for the students more than 550. 00 protesters have been arrested so far. Today is day 203 of genocide for palestinians in gaza and nearly 75 years of colonial violence from the apartheid state of israel and a meant anguish for palestinians everywhere. If you are not focusing on the brutal genocide currently happening in gaza and the apartheid system, palestinians are living under in all of occupied palace time. We implore you to do so. It is important to remember why we are here, are encampment here at colombia and in cabinets everywhere around the country are part of a Larger Movement for palestinian liberation. And were live in washington dc in new york and los angeles said some of the universities that some of the United States most prestigious universities will start with alpha 0 is alan fischer at George Washington university in washington, dc. Helen, what are you seeing . What are you hearing . Well, certainly the protest inside the called a job is a lot smaller this out about does we students who are they . Remember this time yesterday there was more than 200 students who were protesting and many more who were here to support the news. Numbers have gone down throughout the course of the day. The police, not very much a presence here, a toll on the street though, there is a much bigger protest. Certainly going in the last couple of hours. This probably somewhere in the region of 200 to 300 students here. There was a call by a number of student associations to come and protest at 6 oclock, which is right now. It would appear that the authorities are quite happy to wait this out and this squared. But weve also been hearing from students who come here to pull test, one of them in the last star was pulled incitement. Whos normally at the university of maryland, youre studying education and box. What made you so angry that you felt you had to come here to add your voice to this protest . So in a lot of ways, im angry for the same reasons that were all angry. Bobby hospitals makes me angry. Bomb and schools make the angry tens of thousands of murders. How sentience makes me very angry. But as this is especially personal to me, because im jewish, and then weve all heard the rumors that you know what israel is doing stands for jewish people or that raised her rose movements like the ones were seeing here today are anti semitic. And i need to be here to tell people that its not true that this is a little bit for freedom and for liberation. And that im proud to speak up for the palestinians. The same way. I wish more people had spoken up for my ancestors that were murdered in the holocaust. You get any, any grief at the credit. It says from your friends that youre actually here as a jewish student, as you say, and pride in your voice to this protest. Not from my friends because i have the right front, but i have received it from the members of the jewish community. And what i wish we could all see is that this is a fight we should be in together. You know, like i said, we are the spiritual and often literal descendants of the victims of a genocide. Theres another one going on right now. We are watching it live stream on our phones, on our tvs. We should be here raising our voices. I shouldnt be the only one that i am far from the only one the only jewish person that is here today. And we should all be here standing up against a human ization against polarization and against genocide because weve seen it before, never again. And that means for anybody what was the spot for you . Would you like this before or is it because of whats happened in gaza . That has made you this consent and this upset . I am more passionate now ever since the last 6 or 7 months of rapid genocide. But as we all know the impression of the Palestinian People did not starting on october the 7th 2023. So its a cause i have been involved in it a little bit before hand over the last couple of years. But yes, as of recently, since the current process is a mass murder, heavy gotten over the last 200 or so days, i have been more passionate and more motivated to speak out and stop this. Have you been impressed by the number of people, the variety of people, the diversity of people that have come here to either voice extremely. I mean, you look around at the movements here at the things weve been doing at my College Campus at the things in the greater the metro area. You see people from. Busy walks of life, theres curious people like myself, theres palestinians, theres other arabs, 3 muslims. There are people from every background, every gender, every sexuality, every race, everything we are all coming together because everyone from any Community Whos ever face depression sees whats going on. And we know we have to stop. Oh no, no. You stayed behind just to speak to us. Thank you very much indeed for joining us live here in our just so you know what is interesting as well. That in the last couple of hours, weve had some, a number of academics, not just the George Washington university, but those in the generally who students. So heres the likes of George Mason University just across the border in Northern VirginiaHoward University as well. And theyve written to the administrators of the university to say its important. The 1st amendment protections, the right of freedom to speak to a freedom of speech should be held for the protectors that are key, that its important. The young people are able to speak. I like this because thats what theyre taught and university to challenge things. I do believe that that is an important message. As best protest moves beyond, its up to 6 of the people in the courtyard say they are not leaving any time soon. Allen, and thank you very much for that interview and for your reporting. And there are no numerous campuses where students are challenging things. As you say, lets go to new york and john henry and is it the new York City University . Whats happening there, john . Go i right, im here at City University of new york and as you can see, one of the smaller protesters is leading the chance right now. As these encampments get rated by police, they get rebuild, and then new ones are built as well. And vision. This one was built yesterday and already for me, local Campus Police swept in, tried to take it over protests or push them back as now. Theres some concern that the new York Police Department might do what campus couldnt. But let me talk to someone who knows a little more about this. This is gabby awesome who is a Law School Student here . Let me just ask you what brings you . Here . Are here today to protest the genocide plaza and to protest really found is ation of pals. And to the man that are stop investing and stop and cut size. Are you concerned at all about what is clearly a Police Interest . I mean, police are rated New York University columbia the Campus Police tried to right here yesterday, and now youve got barricades to be in white be dropped off earlier today. You can, sir . No, i would say no. I probably saw last night. Our community numbers are chicago or even larger numbers now, and we showed that we can spend the money and prevent the police from entering the camp, setting it down. So im, im not concerned the moment were here to protect yourself. And its surprising to some of us how organized their students are, there was a Campus Police officer who came over earlier and it really lined up in front of them. Wouldnt let him come in. I mean, hes in his organize it as lots. Yeah, of course, you know, this takes a lot of planning houses across the whole country. Answer to organizing has always been, i think, from all kinds of issues, you know, throughout the control or history or apply things to protest. So yeah, theres a lot of organizing and so we know that demands divest, disclose amnesty. And how long are you willing to get the silver and a bass and protect your students, faculty or with deliberate and well be here until we get there. So this is a movement started at a lead institution. Now its really spread everywhere. Its across the country, new and campus like this. Just keep popping up every day. Does that encourage you about the way americans views of the palestinian situation . Have changed very much so, and especially among younger um American School students now its beautiful to see that theyre starting to show up and theyre and then demand of the schools are held accountable for their relationship. This is surprise you at all. They basically know, Major University president has been supportive of these in cabinets and of this movement. I cant say that is surprises me, but it does disappoint the our president s and our team for energy, who support their students, faculty, staff, and has been. And weve seen that thats not the case. The disappointment, but i cant say that im surprised. All right, well gabby, on law student at City University of new york, thank you very much. So as you can see, this pro just is simply a growing. And every time police close down one of these places, newtons crop up, and the old ones are rebuilt at New York University. Today they have rebuilt one that police have knocked down thats on the other side of manhattan. So this Movement Just seems to keep getting bigger john henry and live in new york. Theyre, lets swing over to the west coast, rob reynolds choices now from the u. C. L, a campus robin. The level of conversions and commonality that weve seen between the protesters, whether its washington, whether its new york or earlier, we were in texas is really quite striking. What do you see . Were seeing here on the campus and very peaceful but very passion protests by primarily but also faculty members and other supporters who say that they feel that events taking place during the war on gaza have galvanized them by them and also made them determine that their own institutions of higher learning, their colleges and their college, which should not be used in further, as these acts of war uh, which of cost, of course, would inverting 4000. 00 drugs, many of them in gaza. This protest is very well organized as well. Or just as the one that a john with is reporting on their own Security Forces were organized for medical, 10 sanitary disabilities, camping out here over night organizing the numbers of students who are coming year are growing. Dispatcher students to given what has happened on some other campuses, particularly universally, Southern California wherever. Earlier this 93 students were arrested forcibly by Los Angeles Police department. So the, such as the role from faculty members. And id like to introduce one of the ceiling faculty members right now. As a professor michael j, a member of the Political Science class. Thank you so much for being here. What. Why are you and your fellow faculty members standing here with your students folder here for all Different Reasons . But the main reason were all coming together is because we feel like we need to protect the right of our students that peacefully purchased the right to pc told us is a very, very important right, especially to democracy and youd use to california those purchase of house myself changes, which is pretty good at all of us, including the got villamore all the way back to the 1960. So we really think its important to protect that. Right. And in many other universities, like columbia usc, hes present posters, have been met by arrest, pass arrest, and thats not noise. Its not leading up to the users university. And then, you know, your university, we should be really respectful going to each other and you dont do that by calling the Police Investigative diversity is supposed to be also a place where inquiry debates germination is weve been controversial on, you know, unwelcome ideas are relocatable has been telling people is the view my colleagues and we talk to our students here with all the st. Prescott help with respect to help each other holding their origin from each other research. So these are the points even if they disagree strongly sometimes. And i feel like the rest of the world can probably take can probably learn for the students actually, to be honest, theyre actually way ahead of as intermediate. Be able to treat that respect to me. So thats interesting. Here students and Political Science or uh, i would say not just getting a lesson in Political Science, but actually reading of the situation. What do you think about that . Its also gonna feel like all this should be part of the democratic system. Part of the speech speak nearby and senior voicing. Thats how things go into new like can do the political arena and so its awesome that anybody can speak your mind and im just waiting for a not should encourage you to not to press it. Right. Ok, thank you professor j. Really appreciate that from you. Thanks. Im speaking. All right, that were out of time now for the for that, but that is the situation here on the campus. And we will continue to monitor this as usual with a growing protest that is now switching challenges here as rob reynolds in the campus at u. C. L. A. Thank you very much in that interview. And its not just the us in paris, a demonstration by students who has broken up after they occupied the Main Building at their university cl spoke as its known for hours in the evening. The University Management said that it had reached an agreement with students who promised that they would no longer enter up classes. Houses here is natasha. Butler was at the protest. You sent to us this report. A r k did install its terraces, prestigious steel spo university. Dozens of students demanding it in to israels war and garza outside the others, challenging for phones to help stop. What they say is a genocide. We are witnessing a genocide and as a student we are in the process of shaping our own political awareness. And we know that students movements and voices have marked history. So this is why we cant stay silent. Things became tends when a group, supposing israel arrive to stay to counter protest, really. So cancer, i live near here and i worry, this university is no longer friends. French police moved in to separate the 2 sine. Meanwhile, most students during the demonstration in district to children, one of the universities like there is another great universe, we have a few demands, but one of them is to start investigating all of the ties they have with the state of israel, which is academy, and financial theres already research with the work on that to understand how these really universities are complicit in the case of potential genocide declared by the i c j and we want it. So who is investigating and prep partnerships to protest is the latest student demonstrations. On wednesday, French Police play the seats in the student says, with a pete 100 and symbolic theres a root. We will not only and seems to be very wide and burn friend slides. There is a propos, 9 voices. Now weve reached another step with the Police Coming into our campus during the wednesday, the provision to take us out of the time. This is the next assignment of a silence. The must be broken side. The students, if palestinian rights its a be heard it talks about the just 0 power. Theres also been protests at University College london.

This is part of the loan, the since since about, sorry, but weve been, weve been holding raleighs world house teachings and to try and hold you so to account. So i can push t. N is set aside the game garza and most recently. And they said the we how to study for the day long occupation of a lot, just as of right in the whole complex and the 2 major reasons, the 1st being to hold you sale to account. And secondly, to educate about the policy and the struggle on, on to so politicized security body course as part of a growing movement of student bodies action, cool, dispos. They do seem a part of the main protests that have been taking place in london, usually at the weekends as well. And they say that it is possible a learning process to. So allow people to understand this conflict. More and watch resides with the cost of it when they got jagow out of the its not just students were getting involved. Professors camp outside ge
