Mr marmonstein went to call on donors not to give money to unrwa, but to fund other humanitarian organisations in gaza. The war has prompted protests on University Campuses in the United States. In the last few hours there have been arrests at New York University after warnings from police. That follows protests at yale where dozens of students were also apprehended and also arrests that Colombia University in new york which cancelled in person classes on monday to ease tensions after a senior rabbi told jewish students it was not safe for them to be there. The white house issued a statement in light of the protests saying that while every american has the right to peaceful protest calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting jewish students and thejewish students and the Jewish Community students and theJewish Community are blatantly anti semitic, unconscionable and dangerous. They have no place on a College Campus or anywhere in the United States of america. Students on both sides say there has been a rise in anti semitic and islamophobic incidents since october seven. To haiti now where armed gangs launched fresh attacks on parts of the capital over the weekend. The traditional transitional president ial counsel could be sworn in as early as this week and that counsellors had to usherin and that counsellors had to usher in a new government and it is hoped stability for a country that has been marred by violence. The capital has seen a surge in violence since gangs launched co ordinated attacks in february and stormed into haitis two biggest prisons releasing more than 4000 inmates and some 90 of the capital is now undergoing control. The Prime Minister has been locked out of the country and the United Nations say over 360,000 people are currently internally displaced. Key ports and Supply Routes are blocked and Supply Routes are blocked and millions are going hungry. We spoke about. Did you have we spoke about.

A report on full security shows 5 Million People are acutely food insecure and more than i million of those in one of the highest sector which means they are not eating every day and it is a serious humanitarian crisis. It is centred in the capital, of course, but the crisis has implications beyond with an economic collapse, inflation, disruption to trade. Indeed, a massive humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere. Crisis in the western hemisphere. Crisis in the western hemishere. ,. , crisis in the western hemishere. , hemisphere.

Many are not coping. And that is why we also have serious issues around malnutrition not least among children and people are suffering. I met women and girls in the north who had left the capital in the past few months and they left everything behind. They left with nothing and they have nothing and, of course, there are serious protection risks not least for young girls. They could be subject to trafficking and prostitution and it is important that we step in, not only on security and political front but also delivering a robust unitarian response to this crisis. This crisis. And that is what the world this crisis. And that is what the world food this crisis. And that is what the World Food Programme this crisis. And that is what i the World Food Programme is doing on the ground. Ifound It Interesting that you had written that the World Food Programme only has enough food in the country to feed 175,000 people for a month. What are the difficulties right now . We are the difficulties right now . Are delivering still to around 500,000 a month but youre your numbers are pointing to that we are running short. We have challenges in getting the port functioning and we need to bring in more staff via Cargo Flights and we dont have funding for that. So were putting together a Logistics Package that hope will solve some of those constraints but we also hope that not only the airport in Port Au Prince but also the seaport could open soon so we can begin using that. We cannot count on that so we need to diversify and find other ways. fix, so we need to diversify and find other ways. A Transitional Council may find other ways.

Parallel to that to bring in the Multinational Force will be important to provide some relief on the security side. Then again, none of those two processes, legal or security will be successful unless we can deliver to the people through a robust humanitarian response and frankly also to do developmental work. The Security Crisis is intense in the capital but elsewhere you can do a different kind of work. We visit School Projects where we not only provide food for children and children are returning to school we are also injecting resources into local economy and women are working in the kitchens and in the processing and we procure the food locally, to support local farmers.

We are using a route along the fence where we have been able to get approximately ten trucks may be every other third or every third day into the north and distributed in an orderly and controlled way. Weve also been able to open up four bakeries in the north ringing in fuel and gas to have them run and the wheat they need to bake. But we need to get to completely different volumes. We need at least 30 trucks a day and we are now operating ten every third day we need 30 trucks a day in order to avert a looming famine. Trucks a day in order to avert a looming famine.

The Manhattan Jury currently facing. The Manhattan Jury heard Opening Statements in his criminal trial on monday. Donald trump is accused of trying to cover up a 130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels leading up to his 2016 election win. He pleaded not guilty to falsifying Business Records and also denies having an affair with ms daniels. The prosecution alleges the payment was, quote � Election Fraud, pure and simple. � the defence says that the former president had no personal involvement in the payments, adding that � there� s nothing illegal about trying to influence an election. � mr trump spoke outside the courtroom after the trial wrapped up for the day. This is a biden witch hunt to keep me from the campaign trail. So far it is not working because my poll numbers are higher than they ever been because the public understands that it is a witch hunt. Gary o� donoghue followed monday� s proceedings in new york. Day one of the first ever criminal trial of a former president of the United States it opened with statements from the prosecution and the defence. The prosecution effectively saying that donald trump had cooked the books, that he covered up payments to Stormy Daniels in order to effect and bring about election interference before the 2016 election. The defence says no, nothing at all. There was no affair and also that he was not involved in that Accounting Process that brought about these falsifying Business Records. Ourfirst these falsifying Business Records. Our first witness on the stand, the man formally in charge of the National Enquirer and a longtime friend of donald trump and someone who was involved in pain people who had negative stories about the former president effectively to stop them being published. To stop them being published. To stop them being published. To stop the damage being done. He will return to the stand but also before that happens the judge will rule on a gag order that the prosecution says donald trump has repeatedly, repeatedly broken. And that is not to criticise people such as witnesses, jurors, Family Members and members of the court. Today, donald trump also had another go at michael cohen, his former lawyer who is one of the star witnesses for the prosecution in this case and we will see whether or not donald trump is find for those alleged reaches of the gag order. There are big witnesses to come in this case not least Stormy Daniels herself. And whether or not the defence decide to put donald trump himself on the stand. That was very o� donoghue reporting there. To hear more about how there. To hear more about how the trailers seen outside American Borders i spoke to pascal fletcher, Latin Specialist at bbc monitoring. Those Courtroom Sketches of donald trump has have gone right around the world. What reaction have you been seeing in latin america . There is considerable interest across the continent right from mexico which you would expect right down to argentina in places like cuba. And the things we have seen, the prosecutors argue about orchestrating a criminal scheme to disrupt the president ial election in 2016, references to Election Fraud that made a lot of headlines today through the continent. Other stories i have referred to this being a trial about for bribery and that is another term that resonates in latin america. It� s not forget that over the years latin america has been quite sensitive about being lectured by us governments about things such as democracy in government and political propriety. So to see this cropping up in a trial in new york with such a public and controversial figure as donald trump, i think it generates a lot of interest and there is a sense it is notjust us. It happens in the United States as well. There are other angles as well. The very fact that the judge in trial is of colombian origin has attracted a lot of interest and we have seen profiles of him and references to that. On all angles really a lot of interest in latin American Media quite continuous interest over the last week and since the beginning ofjury selection. Of course, all this coming in the run up to and the president ial election. I wonder in regards to Latin American leaders, for example, what do they feel about the prospect of another Trump Presidency . I think it depends on the ideological affiliations and viewpoints. Again let� s not forget that many major Latin American governments, brazil, colombia, chile, venezuela, you have a left wing government so they would probably not really want to see trump back in the presidency. Some have made it very clear, the brazilian president has said quite clearly a few weeks ago that he hopes biden wins. He has made it absolutely clear. On the other side of the political spectrum, the Argentinian Rightwing president has been, has m
