KGO ABC7 July 3, 2024

The unrest certainly wont be ending anytime soon. Its why were making it. Tonights abc seven news advancer at 11. Its our way. We like to get you ahead on the storylines youll be hearing much more about in the days to come. Student protesters are urging their University Systems to break any financial connection to israel and its military response in gaza. After hamas terror attack today, things boiled over on the campus of ucla when counter protesters clashed with propalestinian demonstrators. Grand prix cars line. Colleges from mit and columbia to cal, stanford and Cal Poly Humboldt are holding actions. Over the past week, police said more than a dozen College Campuses have arrested hundreds of people. Tonight, abc seven News Reporter j. R. Stone spoke to the experts on the effectiveness of these protests to spark social change. College student protests over the israelhamas war have spread to colleges and universities across the country. Here in the bay area, protest encampments have been set up at uc berkeley, stanford and sonoma state. Just to name a few. I think its the biggest Student Movement of the 21st century in the United States. So its very significant. And i think its, its a reflection of how how much the war is upsetting, students, and that the feeling that the United States should, should, should be more, cautious about what it does with its military aid. Robert cohen is a history and social studies professor at nyu who has studied student activism. He says that historically, protests like this have been unpopular among americans over the past 60 plus years, but believes what weve seen over the last two weeks is historic. Never in the history of student protest have protests been suppressed with so little, rule breaking. You know . In other words, the students at columbia were sitting on the lawn. The students here were sitting on the plaza in front of the student, the business school. I mean, in the 60s, you had to do Something Like take over a building or Something Like that. David cortright, who is Professor Emeritus at notre dame and visiting scholar at cornell, believes these student protests are growing. But the number of students protesting still does not compare to what we saw during vietnam antiwar protests of the 60s. You know, after the cambodia invasion and the killings of students at kent state, there was a National Student strike, and there were student protests and more than 800 different colleges and universities here. I think weve seen many dozens. You know, its hard to know how what the total number is. While most colleges and universities will finish their Academic Year in the coming weeks, both cortright and cohen say this issue does not appear as though its going away anytime soon, both saying protester arrests seemed to ignite the movement and both point to the republican and Democratic National conventions that could be locations for major protests. Professors believe that these protester demands could be hard to come by trying to get universities to divest their holdings and companies that do business with israel is problematic because over 30 states have laws against that. Cortright believes that the calls of protesters being antisemitic are overblown, but also believes that the students need to do more to make it clear that they are against the initial attack. By condemning hamas, you need to build broad coalitions for movements to really be effective. And if you look historically, its the ones that have the broadest support across the political spectrum, and, and this movement is still young. It hasnt done that yet. But i would hope that they could reach out and bring in, a lot of the jewish students who agree with them at uc berkeley, stanford and sonoma state, we have not seen vandalism or arrests. Police have also kept a distance in those locations. Theres also a belief that University Leadership has felt the pressure from politicians and donors to clear some of these encampments in certain states, something that the professors believe will only ignite the Movement Even more. J. R. Stone, abc seven news j. R, thank you. All of this comes as there are Significant Developments in a potential cease fire in the war between israel and hamas. Abc news confirms the Hamas Terror Group is now sending a delegation to cairo, egypt, tomorrow. Negotiations are set to resume in a hostage and ceasefire deal.

Theyve assured us that they wont go into rafah until weve had a chance to really share our perspectives and our concerns with them.

Heres abc seven News Reporter Tara Campbell with what to be on the lookout for. It does give us a wake up call. Doctor Peter Chinhong is talking about the spread of bird flu. Also known as avian flu. The virus has now been detected in cows in nine states and is showing up in milk on Grocery Store shelves. The fda emphasizing it is still safe to drink. We need to continue to do surveillance to be on the lookout for something that might affect our communities. The department of agriculture issuing a federal order this week requiring bird flu testing in dairy cows trying to stop the spread. The concern being if the virus keeps spreading among mammals, it could bring the disease closer to being able to be spread among humans. I think people are worried that if this particular strain of bird flu infects a pig because the pig can be infected with both human flu and bird flu , they can sort of like commingle and then create a kind of bird flu that can infect humans. And while there are no reports of the disease spreading among cows in california, the bay area has been hit hard by bird flu in past years. Hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks had to be destroyed after an outbreak in Sonoma County last fall, causing egg and poultry prices to soar. The California Poultry Federation telling dan noyes of our abc7 news iteam the avian flu outbreak was devastating for the poultry industry. When you have a depopulation of a ranch because of bird flu, the ranch is disinfected and cleaned and then its got to stay empty for a while. For it to make sure its not doesnt have any more diseases. So that farmer is out a few months of actually work, income. Meanwhile, doctor chinhong has a few reminders for staying safe. Dont drink unpasteurized milk at this point. No raw milk. Number two dont handle dead birds or sick cows. And number three, if youve handled dead birds or sick cows and you have uh symptoms of flu, headache, you know, muscle aches, problems, breathing, red eyes, please seek medical attention.
