And i think that they are on the right side of, of history and pushing our country to not stay complacent in the genocide thats taking place. And also to see if new is really flags. Silently appeared this week, meters from the student zone of occupation. That is drawn the eyes of the world were alone calendar approached test or condemned the demonstration to stop the. You have to pay the price i do, i see that this, that the story, the approaches to intent encampments have spread from coast to coast from new york to suburban, chicagos northwestern university, to harvard and cambridge, massachusetts to the university of new mexico in dozens of campuses, in between, students at Columbia University have started a national conversation. Whatever happens here or at other campuses, those protests can get shut down in one place. But that conversation is spread the campuses across the us and they say theres no stopping there. As the clock ticks down to the final weeks of classes, universities across the us are deciding whether to hold graduation ceremonies, punctuated by and camp protesters, calls for Justice John Henry and l jersey or new york. Or i know and so sure, George Washington university in the center of washington dc. The professors have been here for hours, a deadline set by the authorities of the university to clear the courtyard for people to leave has come and gone. And the numbers have been fairly consistent for several hours. The people here a very clear that they want the, youd investigate to start the best thing of any interest. Because in these really Link Companies to make sure that that investments are open on public. And those who are protesting here face new rep protection, the protectors have been calling for change and the incest that they will state, even with the threat of police action, even with the state of arrest until the demands are met. All in so sure, ill just see you to washington all the students and faculties across America Holding for divestment from israel. So lets take a look at what that actually means. Universities and colleges have these endowment funds to finance the research and scholarships is money is often invested in private equity or hedge funds, protested the demanding universities stop investing this money in companies. The profit from is rails will like alms, manufacturer, lockheed martin, no tech joints. Amazon and google with contracts in israel. Now, simon action was held across the United States several decades ago against the upon take government. And that south africa in 2009 Hampshire College divested from and is really relate to fund, but denied it was due to a boy called prussia and New York University students. Also calling for the closure of the schools 10 of these campus saying its discriminatory. How does your castro reports now from the university of texas in austin, of the thames clashes between police and student protesters wednesday have transformed into this peaceful gathering which protest or say, is in itself an act of defiance. Police earlier arrested 56. 00 demonstrators and one journalist that prompted still more protesters to come out on thursday. And they were joined by Many University professors. Theyre demanding that you t austin, divest from weapons manufacturers. And some companies that benefit is real. And now theyre also demanding the resignation of the universities president jake hartzell, who had orders that the police crack down on the approach. While the Texas Governor of greg abbot republican, who strongly support israel has taken credit for the plaintiff texting and says the student protesters can i ask you again . And again. So uses their tuition money to fund that effort. Heidi to castro alger 0 austin, texas, will protest, gaining ground on campuses and other parts of the world as well in australia demonstrates a set of 10. So the university of sydney students from all the universities has been going that to show that supports as well. If been shunting slogan similar to those voice in the us like goals for diagnostic from is radio Link Companies will join the live now bye alex thomas. He is in sydney for so weve just been hearing about to these protest demonstrations across american universities. Thats resulted in mass arrests, suspensions canceled classes. Whats happening there in sydney to yes, my name is sunny, more civilized, peaceful, australian size. A snapshot really of the, of the process we seen elsewhere in the world as i speak, probably a few dozen students in tenants have settling down for that full nights, a protest to the university of sydney, all the colorful times. You can see behind me the flags, the signs, but the banners slogans working in tools across the tom, i can stall, contrast to the Historic Buildings here at australia is Oldest University going back more than a 170 years. Although it is small and hasnt been going a long time organizes hey, its telling me there is a lot of ground sort of opinion in the favor that was a much early room that was not sanctioned by the university. Maybe a 100 to 200 students trying slogans. As you mentioned, similar to those weve heard elsewhere, crossing campus, getting a to the main road, briefly occupying that main road in stopping traffic before returning here. But really they say theyre in it for the long hold. And the universe, the for now, i told her rising it is that likely to last . Obviously weve seen tentative action in america, different country, different plays, but nonetheless, what are the most valuable reaction from university there in sydney. I mean, the officials at the moment say they welcome a diverse range of opinion. Thats part of that culture at this university. You want people with different viewpoints to express them as long as they do so respectfully. They have a sense that list of things and things to organize as hey, who are not totally happy about being told what to do, and not necessarily gonna follow them over the most. So they, it was a classic example. But as for the ultimate goal of students here, who wants the university to come old size with this right, the establishment, i put that question to the university. That doesnt address any financial backing from israel directly, but its all about academic collaboration. Saying this, we remain open to Winning College links with countries all over the world. We would only consider placing restrictions on ost, off engaging and collaborations with colleagues overseas. If the proposed activity was assessed as potentially unlawful, so a slightly tell you the response, but now organizes here are slightly frustrated the university on engaging with them directly as far as that goes, are concerned. And they want to stay here until theyre met. Whether thats successful or not. All right, alex thomas and sidney, thank you. Im not joined by mom at alaska. Hes a political analyst and professor of media studies at c, Doha Institute for graduate studies here in dow. Huh. Hes been seeing these extraordinary scenes across american universities. No sign of protests dying down that we the protests have taken on a different slave in sidney. But it does seem to be that we are seeing this continue resolve on the part of students is the cause of all of the injustices and suffering and inflicted upon the palestinians becoming the defining cause of a generation. I think thats probably, thats probably fair to say. I think its, its certainly interesting to see all of this play out, but i dont think its particularly surprising that were seeing this movement being led by young people. It seems like its always young people that are at the for right, whether its anti war movements associated with iraq or vietnam or symbol, the Civil Rights Movement or the movement for, for black lives. And now this uh, the genocide unfolding and gaza. And so from that standpoint, its not surprising. Its also not surprising if you look at the opinion pulling data weve been seeing this for months that its young people in the United States and europe who are most opposed to what israel is doing. And who are most sympathetic you know, to the palestinians into their cause. And so we, we are really seeing a generational shift now to what extent this is going to continue. I think thats the big question right now. And, and particularly when you raise some of the other mass protests weve seen in the recent e as in the past decade, black lives not to say the rock for. And then just all the smaller protests that we have seen a crack down in america. And so that, you know, the question is, of people going to be able to protest freely because on earth and really incredible scenes of police using what can any be described as violent and heavy handed tactics against peaceful protest isnt members of the faculty . Yeah im, there is a video right now that i just saw a few moments ago of a female professor who is just enter university. Right. Shes just standing around, certainly not posing a threat and she was tackled to the ground violently by police officer. I had hit the concrete slots. This fell off. Yeah, it was, it was quite shocking here to see um and, and thats the kind of image that that is going to be broadcast. Now on all the social media sites. I think there are 2 things that we have to keep an eye on. Number one is usually the case that when you use these heavy handed tactics against protesters, it actually has the opposite effect. It ends up spring. More protests, people see these images, they get angry, people who are sitting on the sidelines. We may have been apathetic and up joining, joining the freight. So we have to keep our eye on that. The one thing that i will say dont, this is the 2nd point i want to make is that the timing might be working in the favor of whos University Administrators and all of the 5 immunizations. Because just so happens that protest movements are starting right at the end of an academic year. And so its not going to be possible. I dont think to continue these protests during the summer when there are no classes or a window or a fewer classes. And many students, you know, leave town to go home, they pick up summer jobs. So we have to keep our eye on that from that standpoint, timing works into the favor of this, this kind of pro zionist entities. Last 3, thank you. Thanks on all the stories of following belgian as something the is riley. Im boss of the officer an aide worker was killed in rough on belgiums Development Minister said 33 year old abdullah nob han and his 7 year old son were among the casualties as in his riley strike is positive belgians aid efforts in the gaza strip spokesman for these writing 5 minutes to Benjamin Netanyahu said that they were moving ahead with ponds for a ground operation on rough uh, but no timeline was actually given for that. Oh honey mama joins us now from rossa in southern gaza. And so we know that gauze there is now a probably the worlds most dangerous place for humanitarians to provide aid. And the more of these incidents we see, i suppose, the less likely it is, is that that will be initiatives to get a workers into the strip if organizations cannot ensure will guarantee the safety. The, the yes, mariana, the more we talked to aid organizations about whats going on the, the, the, almost there is an agreement among these organizations that is rarely military is doing this alone, deliberately the talk, the deliberate tax on aid workers on distribution wins in done in a way to discourage organizations and aid worker from doing their work on the ground delivering months needed much, not necessary live saving items for larger traumatized. A starving population across the god forbid. Within 6 at the beginning of this month, early april the i, the i, the, the, the i, c, r c are issued a statement describing the deliberate prevention of a delivery as one way to hamper a word card on the work of the workers on the ground and their operation is done in a way to prevent the organization or from doing so. Just over nighted targeting this aid worker. And his son inside a residential building along with other people were shouldering inside this particular house. Just how much fear and panic for the people are taking the risk on the ground. With this chatter sense of safety, the cost of the 3. 00 weeks, weve seen the deliberate tax on w. C. K, employees and centrals in the western part of central dogs. And before that, many of the incident that were documented that the of these really military attack and distribution points, either in over a crowded dropbox city or in the northern parts. And not all the aid workers are being targeted, but also h segers and people who are in need of these important and much needed aide and humanitarian supplies are also being targeted. The tory is among them is the flower mastercard. At the western part of garza city, at the levels the proud traffic circles were close to a 100 people were killed. As they were trying to get a to save their families who are starving and be hydrated by the ongoing intense bombing campaign. There is a great negative impact of these deliberate attacks on the ground. All right, thank you. Honey. Mountain wood and rough line, southern gaza, thanks for the update. United nations is saying its important to preserve forensic evidence when investigating mass graves found and gaza. This is off to gauze as Civil Defense, cold for an independent into investigation into what happened at Nasir Hospital in han, eunice, ill just say it was christine salumi. Aust, the spokesman for the one century general about what comes next. What should they do with that information . They say they need the forensic examination. Where should they go for this . What would you, what would the you advise . And i think it is important, or excuse me, the circumstances to ensure that any potential evidence is kept in a way that is not compromised. Weve called for an International Investigation how that will take place. Its unclear this time. There are certain bought parts of this organization that have the authority to do that. Oh, shit. Parts of the organization. Do you think can be of how well, i mean, theres definitely investigative traffic and with those very right there, there legislative bodies of this organization that could create and call for an inventor National Investigation that has yet to happen. In the meantime, its important at all forensic evidence of the well preserved evidence of the you ends cooling, to be preserved comes from some of the bodies exempt from that mass graves that both na said and ill shift the hospital compounds. Nearly 400 bodies has been recovered sofa, sorry, i would assume reports from the rough i in southern gaza. You get. This mothers creams evidence.

He wants the world to see the dozens of bodies, the fount im to, um, support them like that of how the affairs, a young girl discovered with her legs amputated with a novice, we found the body of it for the number of children. We have the question is why do we have children and must graves the child of the patient is still in his crops. A man with his hands tight bolt to the head. In the past weeks dr. Munoz teams have caused that forensic evidence from nearly 400 bodies. The report finds signs of summary executions and physical to, to see about that. You to, you know, again, its not somebody still had the, can you low on them, which shows they have a patients who are receiving treatment and then also hospital dental.

They are asking for an independent investigation to check the findings and document them. The is where the military dismiss accusations its forces buried bodies before the winter to come to compound as baseless isabel, the troops have pulled out of gauze to main hospitals. In recent weeks, Civil Defense
