Including 10 children this since saturday morning. Angry and israels thousands take to the streets and tell of eve calling for the resignation of 5 minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Drilling a hole in front of the Union Buildings in for toria, with it being celebrations of south africas 1st free and democratic election that broke Nelson Mandela and the African National congress to power. 30 years ago the its 22 g and t. Hundreds of University Students across the us have been detained so far as riley is against the wall and gaza has been gathering steam spreading throughout the country. And police have carried out large scale arrests on campuses in recent days at times using chemical irritants and tasers to disperse students. Some universities have have to cancel their graduation ceremonies while others have seen entire buildings occupied by protesting students. Its been a little over a week since students at Columbia University began demanding that their school divest from israel students at harvard, at georgetown at mit and George Washington university. The most prestigious in the country. Then followed suit and protest spread from the northeast to campuses in michigan in texas and california. Well houses here is phil, available is at Emory University in atlanta. Phil, youve been telling us about this, this protests that you described a little bit more said gathering more precisely a little earlier in this is Emory University in atlanta. Hows it going now . Its still the same. Its very, very calm. You know, this is nothing like those things that we saw on the 1st day when the police were cold. And when we had the emory police, we got lots of Police State Troopers moving in. This is a much common situation by design as well. Im a say because they protest as a marketing this or selling it on social media very much is a chance to come here. Show your solidarity cause any trouble bring a blanket. Bring somebody to wait, like somebody to drink. Right . Some messages on some boards, right. Some messages on the floor would choke very much make your points, but in a calm and peaceful way i, we thought how would tree readings we pods, motivational speakers . There thats all very much everybody. Just talking about what it is that this conflict means to them. And how they can help in any way that they possibly can. And the lack of police is ready. No simple. You know, yesterday we sold one or 2 police cause and the distance we seen very Little Things like, seriously apart from the officer walking past or looking from a distance compared to the 1st i, when we had ordered those offices and that is a huge difference. Im going to bring a, one of the organizers out, alexandra, im just talked to express what alexandra about, how you feel about what youre seeing. Is that, i mean its a smaller crowd than weve seen so far. Yeah, definitely. Um, i mean, today were really focusing on Community Building and really bringing back the community and the school together. What happened on thursday with the Police Presence called by the administration, was really hard on us. And we saw how theyre going to treat their students who peacefully protest her policy line and ending cop city. So today were making sure that we bring back our community. We have our community guidelines, our unity statements, and we showed the university that were going to be here until they die best until they grant amnesty to us. And until they show us that they care about their students. But could be a very long time, you know, i mean, youre talking about doing this everyday. Mm hm. It looks on the surface of it, but the present isnt budging. So what we do if nothing changes, well, were gonna keep coming out no matter what and did the school year like sure, it ends in may, but we are gonna keep coming no matter what, like this is our university, this is our campus. We pay to come here and to attend the school, and its not fair that the administration gets to make all these decisions and put their students in harms way when we are using our right or freedom of speech and our rights are protest. So it doesnt matter, essentially how theyre going to react and what theyre going to do because were going to keep doing this. Weve seen this all across University Campuses and we all have to come together and make sure that were doing what we can to help and the genocide and as a one of the things that really cool a lot of peoples attention on 1st i was the fact but to members of stuff, professor, one of them is a professor were arrested yesterday we sold members that faculty members holding science, identifying themselves as faculty members. Not so much of that now i, i use in touch with faculty members of a still supporting. Yeah, absolutely. We have a lot of faculty members and textbook, especially the faculty for students, injustice and palestine. The organization in georgia. They have a lot of faculty that are come out usually when we like have a big presence of police. We request that they come out and they were here live with us last night when apd came out and asked us to leave the board. And they were using their bodies and their privilege physically to protect their students. And we have faculty and medical students struggling on graduate students. We do have like a lot of to be on campus now after what happened on thursday, and were hoping that well continue to go around these under thanks very much. One thing though, we must mention is when those people arrest them. So i say those 20 are just like people. One of the ways that students will House College lots of different universities, but its relevant because President Biden is due to visit wareHouse College in a couple of weeks about 2 or 3 weeks time as part of the graduation ceremonies. There is a lot of attention out on that visit because obviously a president ial visits bearing in mind the us administrations position and what is happening that also the fact that you have lots of students who wants to make that point of ari and century a time, a lot of people are questioning whether or not President Biden should be making that visit at the moment. The white house is indicating nothing is changing, but of course, as these process protests continue, day after day, we have to wait. Itll be interesting to see if the president does actually come here to georgia. Yeah, absolutely. Theres still time before that happens, but well see if events force the white house to revisit that decision. Phil of el reporting from atlanta, Emory University. Thank you very much, phil. We go to john now john henry and john you were at columbia previously. Now youre at City University. In new york, youve been talking to protesters at multiple campuses. What are you finding today . What are you hearing as well, theres always concerned the police are going to sweep in at any moment. 0. So there was an email sent out while we were in princeton urging people to come here for reinforcements. As his Campus Police had initially tried to push protesters out of here, the protesters pushed him back. And then an interesting thing happened. Im going to walk past the encampment here. And if my camera man can follow me, i will show you whats happening now. So the new York City Police department put up, these are pre positioned those barriers. Theyre now taking them away. It also had portable light post and the concern was that that was. Ready pre positioning for a possible rate, we dont know what this means, but the fact that theyre taking them away might suggest that they have decided not to do that. But as you were saying a little bit earlier today, i was taught, i was at prince and, and i was talking to at talis, the inactive is named linda as our source. And she had a lot to say about what she felt about the student protests. Heres a sample these young people are reaffirming and demonstrating thats tied to shifting on palestine that the Palestinian People have solidarity. Not just across the United States of america, but across the world. And these young people stand in the long tradition of student activism against the warrant, vietnam, against south african apartheid, and now for freedom and justice for the policy. So we had a 100 students interested in Northeastern University at hundreds over the past week or so. I was at Virginia Research purchase. I didnt see anybody get arrested there. Do you think theres a double standard here . There absolutely is double standards and american Law Enforcement and also with these University President s. I mean, we are watching young people here who are engaging and safe and peaceful, protesting. They are young people that you dont even have to agree with. But they live in america and a democracy and they have the right to freedom of speech. And they are being brutalized by Law Enforcement who could be using their time for something else. And in fact, the fact that we are suppressing young people across this country only further emboldens them and continues these types of encampments and work for just how do you have any idea why not one major University President and supporting these students and these demonstrations. Unfortunately, the way the University System is set up and they are beholden to their donors instead of being loyal to their students, the students are what make these universities university. Theyre supposed to be a place where we have an exchange of ideas where we hear multiple perspectives and we decide where we want and what position we want to take. And the universities have demonstrated that they have taken aside. And it is the side of genocide, the side of occupation, and these young people are rejecting that because they dont want that to reflect their values, which are equity and justice and freedom for all to it. Every one of these encampments, theyre always at risk of the Police Coming in, tearing down the dense, interesting some of the students. But the interesting thing that happens is every time police do that at one university or another, they rebuild where they are. And then they rebuild elsewhere, which is why we see new demonstrations springing up on campuses across the u. S. A. John henry, and always good to talk to you. Thats a else, as you, as john henry at, at City University of new york. And mike, hannah is outside a student encampment at the George Washington university. That is in the us, federal capital, washington, dc. It over the past 24 hours. The fence behind me here has been sealed. Nobody is being allowed in to the area where the tents have been pitched this in order to ensure that it doesnt get to be good, then it is. Now if you look over here, this, outside this on a street running alongside university square, more 10 said being pitched up here in both areas. Police say they all here to monitor. They blocked off both sides of this road, running parts university square. But they insist that because the demonstration is peaceful because it has be no vitriolic language that they will just stay and monitor. They will not interfere this despite the fact that the University Authorities awesome some 24 hours ago to move in the police declining to do so. And perhaps whats happening here is something that happened way back in june 2020. When dc Police Forcibly disperse, demonstrate is with but tons and to i guess something that was seen as very bad optics and something thats the police do not want repeated. Hence this stand up as a tube at the moment. The university itself, though the thirtys here, have been threatening to suspend students. They are identifying them by the tags that students use to go into the main buildings next to the square. Those are being identified as such. Have being threatened with suspension, but the demonstration remains peaceful. The police remain in what is described as a watching mode, montana which is the era washington. Now us President Joe Biden is said to speak at the annual White House Correspondents Association. Dinner protesters are gathering outside the hotel that is hosting the supper demanding an end. Israels warrant garza hundreds of during this politicians and celebrities normally gather at this century old defense. Meanwhile, more than 2 dozen palestinian during lists of calls this fellow during lists to boycott the White House Correspondents Association that are they say, the binding. The ministration is complicit and israel systematic killing of palestine, journalists since israels war on guns. It began last october. The is really military has killed 142 media workers and journalists, 40 palestinian journalists, have been arrested by the is really military and the committee to protect her. And list says that 2023 was the deadliest year for journalists in a decade. 3 quarters of the during list killed worldwide were palestinians reporting on the war in gaza. Is go live now to well shows us you have a time. See she have your at the protest outside the White House Correspondents dinner. Tell us what youre seeing. Major solar sharing, weve never seen a White House Correspondent sit up like basically the washington hilton where the president is the swig while ive been only applauded by the washington press, hold them national over us press cool, but these v i p s are a dresser. 1 from a, a that evening 5 every, they have to run the templates and hundreds of protests is out here. Shouting showed him on it and show him on the breaking bread when theyre a 140 job. As a result is better for as long as they say, a bite piece to mississippi and the modem. And were going to take, you want to be organized without regard to your other busy, right. How about it . It was one of these people good to go over to the problem. Why are they being told that i should be ashamed of being here for the white horse bonnet center, supposedly, to honor journalists and industry are generally a 133 journalists have been killed, trying to report the turn, trying to break the paralysis of the Media Industry trying to showcase whats happening any event is happening inside the plug that the media continues to. I do misinformation this information into silence enterprise. People that are trying to share what is actually happening. We are out here protesting because we are demanding accountability from the dirt on the industry. The more the journalist from the white house of and Everybody Loves the table. This is done to the owner. Is there a 133. 00 ship . It is a trojan. Symbolic is moving like this. We look at the relationship between the both of the stipends advisor, the opposite scenario media as the budget, ministration on the policy. And like, youve seen the peddling of misinformation thats happening on both sides. Us things like the, you know, misinformation rather bad, a babies and all these atrocious art that ive been doing while lies around it or well supporting. How about all these things have been proven job absolutely. 0 researching 0 data 0 reality behind the media. The initial life never back to are telling their lives. Were seeing the same type of any of any inconvenience divided ministration work, whether its flooded or blinking, constantly traveling this misinformation. And its just the relationship between the journalism sector and the administration seems to be really connected on the wrong side of history on ensuring that the voice of the policy and the people who are not sharing. We are, for example, that theres editor royal notes from the Media Outlets that you can use the word genocide or you cannot talk about the present or murder. They have to be killed, they were not killed. And if the media to media is failing to be done, this dont seem to use any record of his deals when it comes to been talking. I mean, weve heard repeatedly, weve been doing, you know, the washington didnt work for a 180 some days like a cabinet in front of the us, like their 5th look at home today. 94 days werent journalism particular why, why there just seems to be like suspending that critical drug. And when it comes to this, this problem where to think about the cameras like we were told that journalist were told not to happen. They were told by their editors that it would have center daughters, that theyre there to hear more about the money and the industry supporting the people who support the networks. And the reporting goes counter to the whole idea of the government, accountable journalism. And theres a whole industry is accountable, peddling wise because people and i think german with a good care about the career, they care about their next steps and their career and their sizing the sector as we see right here. People want to be wine and dine, and they want to, you know, being in company with other people. And they will not often take the risk because it means its a piece of for suicide and people dont want that and that is wrong there. Thank you very, very, very much so like, would you be some movie . Id be about 30 to be to phase or is a suppressive enough to say its about its going to enjoy the kind of ease and otherwise the progresses break branch were present binding to spikes components, a 140. 00 drugs. This big deb as a result and some folks are bodies goals. Depaula. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you very much. Fascinating interview there. Were going to stay with this topi
