6:00 pm
the stream mouse's era the on the services and use our on out to 0 for the back to go live in the coming up in the next 60 minutes. thousands of people are on the streets of london in support of kind of scenes and accounting for an end to as well as on guys. police in the us detain at least 100 protesters that a university in boston, while the student led movement against the war straight across the country. also this our, these really yes, try case rock fi in. southern does that mean across the street has killed at least 32 protest scenes in the past 24 hours? many of them went in and i'm somebody the in alexandra township,
6:01 pm
newest of johannes. but we many say these and much to celebrate a south africa commemorate city. yes, of democracy i'm doing the controls go with the school. says living to lose ground in the premier league title race i'm being held to a to, to drove by west palms keeping inside and the table with just 3 matches less to play. the it is 15, g m t. thank you for joining. as we begin this news hour with the growing protests around the world in support of palestinians and against these routes war on garza, the latest demonstration is in london with thousands. i've been marching account or riley has been cancelled citing security concerns. but a smaller event by a group called enough is enough which supports these really actions is still going ahead in central london. let's go straight to our address here is harry fonts that
6:02 pm
were joins us from the march in london. london has of course, seen huge demonstrations in support of gaza, denise, past 6 months. how are you, how the protests today shaping up a good. so another very large turn out as you say, it's take its way through central london from parliament square and just outside the house, the parliament alone piccadilly and ending up here in hyde parkway. as you can see, there is this major riley going on and we've had a number of speakers rallying. the crowds here as you also say, that was this of the counter price as part of time pay. and it goes to the semitism whose lead had a high profile confrontation, a couple of weeks ago with a metropolitan police officer preventing him from across the street. in the midst of one of these protests, they were going to have a week together event. they closed it, but that was cooled off. they said because of strengths from potential hostile
6:03 pm
actors and something that the leader of the time to sit in. so there are 2 time who's talking now on the stage behind us said that they shouldn't have been worried about that. there are a number of jewish protest is here. indeed we've heard from some of them from the stage that was the, this of the stats. it could cause a demonstration by the not says they're not through the main body of this protest and watch through that area. police tempted to protest in groups away from each other. one person repeatedly arrested for what he shouted. i meant supposedly said racist comments against the jewish protest is the pro israel rather heavy. to what extent have the people that been galvanized by the protest in the us and it certainly be the same. it's been running through the various speeches we've
6:04 pm
been hearing from here. uh, for instance, just tossing on box, but it's a lot going to for some, some not mentioned each campus by name and saying how much the. 3 actions that were inspiring people here result, we spoke to a number of students around this process. we also said that they were proud of what was being done in the united states and not having the, the student process here in the u. k. one student we started to so that they will apply to the search process. so the reflection that you're seeing and you're not as guides as well as that. of course, this is also being inspired by what continues to take place in jobs and their role should be mentions of the mass graves that have been on in recent days as well. so the activism of the protests is on the news coming out of guys. it is continuing to bring it onto the stage. this is the 13th such demonstration on people here saying that they will continue despite cools from groups. despite the message,
6:05 pm
we have multiple police talking about the sheer scale of the estimates that the police have been having to go through to police these demonstrations and some causes on quotas to these posters, to come to an end, to protest, to see the leaders of these protest saying they will continue. thank you very much for that. that sounds easier. it's harry fawcett reporting that live from london. well, meanwhile, in the us, police have detained about a 100 people while clearing a protest camp at northeastern university in boston. the university says the protesters resorted to anti semitic slurs student demonstrations against the one guy that has spread across the us. happens and demonstrations that sprung up from the capital to both coasts. but they ongoing efforts by university officials and police, and the protests. while it's just over a week since students at columbia university in new york began demanding their
6:06 pm
school diverse from israel students at columbia, harvard georgetown, mit and george washington university began demanding the same process right from the northeast to campuses in sugar in texas and california. and we have a team of correspondents covering this story for us on this new our, across the us in atlanta, austin, in washington, dc. as 1st we go to john henry, who's at princeton university in new jersey. john prestigious, the prestigious, princeton university. of course, this is one of the us encampments. what's the scene like where you are literally, this is day 3 of the encampment here at princeton. and as you can see, it's a fairly small one compared to some of the other ones that we've seen in new york city and elsewhere. but here, as all across the country, these students are committed to staying and occupying this phase. and so far it seems to be a fairly peaceful seeing if we can see those yellow jackets. those are the campus
6:07 pm
security officers who are standing by, not swooping in uh to raid the students. but you also may notice that there are no permanent tents set up, and that's the red line that many universities have drawn. they view the tents as permanent structures and at new york university and elsewhere. they have swept in and torn those tents down and arrested students who've been in them. so one of the issues here is that the students want to occupy the space. they want to make their statement their demands against the university a divest, and they want them to divest in anything it has to do with israel or the war in gaza. and they, there's threat is we will stay here until that happens. the university is, don't want those permanent structures of as one of the, the lines that has been drawn fully. right? and this movement, as we said, is growing, drawn across the us. but they have also been a number of arrest. what's the latest on the? and that's right, in northeastern university in boston, they were more than
6:08 pm
a 100 and people arrested. that is just the latest. and what often happens is, you know, these, these demonstrations are largely peaceful. you can just see it behind me. nobody is agitating, uh, you know, there are no arguments going on. we've seen a few of those on campuses. we think we've really been a very few. and occasionally you'll have confrontation between protesters and counter protesters, but the university's seem to crack down on the speech of the protesters in particular and inexpensive that northeastern university one. there were accusations that the students in violated the code of conduct by some of the things that they said. and so it was a 100 people arrested there at emory versus a university in georgia that happened as well. and then in new york, new york university, columbia city, both of those have seen police crackdowns. the city university of new york has had
6:09 pm
threats have a crack down the campus. police tried to go in now they're in new york city, police who have set up a sort of pre positions, some barricades and stuff. so all of these things kind of live under the threat that they're going to be arrested. if you can imagine it costs $57000.02 pay tuition for princeton university, so they're very careful about their identities. that's why you see a lot of the students here wearing masks that some of them have asked us not to identify them, which we have respected. so those arrest or a very real and present threat across the country. following john, thank you very much for the update. that's john henry and live the in princeton university in new jersey. let's head over to washington dc. now in my kind of who's at george washington university in d. c. d c area college students, mike of launcher, own guys, a protesting camp. and tell us about what's happening at g w today. a
6:10 pm
yes indeed, behind me is a university square named exactly that university square. there's a few dozen people. him some state overnight and the tense behind me is a police presence, but it is limited and it's very clear that police are keeping a monitoring role. i spoke to an officer who's on the university square behind me that he said the police so just to, to monitor, i'll just step beside so you can see the layout of what is here. you see the tense . beyond that, there's the fence, which is not aligned with food, organizes that protein food to feed the demonstrators here, coffee for them. one organization, uh oh. and i said, pointing out that what they are protesting about the area that were protesting about people simply do not have food. so they are very lucky here. but i understand too that university authorities also d. c police to step in and remove the demonstrators from university property. such a d,
6:11 pm
c. police said no. they saw no evidence of any unlawful activity. they sold the gathering was peaceful and perhaps as well weighing in the back of the minds of d. c. police, all those have been since june 2020, when police took to the streets by talking this into a guess and demonstrate to the dispos demonstrates as during a black lives matter protest. so certainly the police have said very clearly that they do not want that kind of uptake to happen. kids as long as this demonstration remains peaceful, then they will not take any action. they will stay here and continue to monitor to ensure that it does state peaceful. thank you very much, mike. that sanchez here is my kind of reporting. they live from george washington university in dc. now the demands of the university students in the us differ from one another, but they do have a common theme of divesting from israel students at columbia university or long should be demanding. the university dropped their direct investment in company is doing business in school with israel. these include microsoft, amazon,
6:12 pm
and google. those attending new york university want the closure of their schools tel aviv campus calling it discriminatory students. that yale cornell and university college london has been asking their schools to cut ties with weapons manufacturers, including lockheed martin. they accuse a companies of profiting from israel as for well to discuss all this, i'm not joined by laurie brand, who is a professor of political science international relations and middle east studies at the university of southern california. thank you very much for talking to us and joining us on algae 0. i'll ask you about what's happening at us see a very shortly because if cancel the graduation there because of the protests, but i just wanted to get your thoughts 1st about why you think we're seeing such a huge momentum. now, with these protests, not just in the us, but in london us, we see what do you think is leading to this renewal of these on time all protests? is it the mass, the rest that we've seen faces like a new york or boston?
6:13 pm
well, i think you have to think of it in, in terms of the uh, the broader background, which is that if there's been a lot of programming on campuses since the beginning of the war and certainly dating before the war. i mean, campuses in united states have really become the place the focal points of palestine solidarity work over the last i'd say 1015 years. and so there are lots of campuses that have branches. the students were just as in palestine and similar sorts of organization. so they were in place with the beginning of the war. there was an attempt to organize programming to show films and universities dealt with those requests in different ways. and some places they tried to cost them in some places. they questioned successfully and others desert cases, faculty stood up and insisted that they go hadn't done in any case. the, the point is that there, there was a lot of work going on, a lot of attempts to protest and to express themselves in the period immediately after the war. but i think what happened at columbia university, the galvanized people in the, against the backs of, of course,
6:14 pm
of mass protests amongst the little civil society all around the world. the response has been indeed quite brutal in some places like columbia and boston university, northeastern in boston. as we saw, why do you think the colleges these big name colleges cracking down more aggressively? politics also at phase? absolutely. i mean, i think when we all saw what happened at the hearings at which 35 and the present is a 3 top universities testified and the way that they were treated. and then what sorts of policies were pursued thereafter. this was that expectations, i guess, that the republicans were held these hearings made of these people and that if they didn't tow the line that they were going to be accused of anti semitism. so i think when it came time for columbus, president who'd been invited to the original hearings but wasn't able to attend. when she appeared she wanted, i think to set a mark and say you're not going to treat me the same way. i'm not going to be
6:15 pm
a subject same sort of abuse as my predecessors were. but in fact she was and i think the, her response prior to her hearings, to the beginnings of protest on her campus which were, which were swift and which were brutal. she had this adventure, these hearings had in there after again, cracking down. so i think that when, when students saw that, they saw that response, there was a desire, we knew was already abroad or solidarity about palestine before and they saw students were really putting themselves on the line. and so more more students, i think, began to say we need to be out there, we need to be taking a stand in solidarity with what's happening. and that's what we're seeing right now happening right now on the question of anti semitism, which you mention, some jewish students have said they feel threatened on the campuses. is that the case? is that a legitimate concern today? what's the state of untie? semitism on american college campus. well, i think that one has exhibits what else to distinguish between the number of things . first of all, there are protests which are anti israel, anti war, and those are not anti semitic. there. on the other hand,
6:16 pm
there are expressions of anti semitism and windows find those on university campuses one find as those in other parts of american society. but it can't be allowed to be completed. and so for people who are calling any expression of sympathy for palestine, any does any call for an end to the war as an expression of anti semitism, which is what some american jewish organizations are doing, that's simply not acceptable. and so those are not expressions of epa semitism then that there's a question of how a lot i'll see pro israel students feel on campus because it's also important to note. there are many jewish students and many faculty who are ardent supporters of palestinian rights and have been in the forefront of these demonstrations on campuses as well as off campus. and so the attempt by some groups to, to a speak about use as if they're a model is the united states is simply not accurate by so when we talk about that i semitism, we can't talk about it in the same terms as opposition to israel. right. and we have to think about jews as a very diverse community, united states, many of whom do support post any advice, a very important point. you raised that, not the heart of the student protests is of course the idea of divesting from
6:17 pm
israel. do you think that campaign can succeed in what will be the invitations for companies like, you know, lockheed martin and other side to do business with israel? is that an achievable goal for these protests is the demand for making? i'm not sure. i think there is, as you mentioned in your, your opening there are different sorts of demands. some of them, the economics investment demands others have to do with cultural boycott us and where students and faculty are asking for cutting of programs, putting into programs that joint programs with israel universities. those seem to me to be more likely are targets in a short term. i think the development campaign is one, it's, it has a long history. it's been, i'm in ongoing for some time. it's painting and momentum. i don't know that these student demonstrations are going to, i guess i doubt that they're going to achieve in the short term what they're looking for. but i think what they're doing is they're building for their solidarity. they're there to match them. and they're demonstrating that there's
6:18 pm
a broad basis, right for pushing these demands forward. so i think that's what's really important, not trying to see what they're going to achieve them in the next, you know, months or 6 months. briefly laurie before we let you know your university university southern california cancelled his graduation speech. i mean his graduation family, the valedictorian speech was also kept and canceled. how, how do you think they handle that? how and, and you know, what does that mean for students who are still attending the university? well, i think they handled it really poorly. and the 1st of all, that's a violation of the academic freedom of this young woman. and then their attempt to try and correct themselves just got them in more trouble making more people unhappy . and they decided they were going to cancel the other speakers. probably worrying that they were going to either themselves say something in support of the valedictorian or that they themselves might pull out and be of further embarrassed, which is the university. so it's gotten, it's progressively worse. we reached a point a couple of days ago, where we had an encampment again, a peaceful encampment, just as your reports have been showing around the world,
6:19 pm
or at least around the united states and us universities. overwhelmingly peaceful and cabinets which some university is not all but my university. unfortunately, the one of them decided that they needed to send in a campus security backed up by lapd back to buy a metro, which is basically the people with the right here. so there has been a tremendous backlash not only from students, but also from faculty that's ongoing. there's a new enchantment which has as been established so that the situation that you will see is still not resolved. but i think that with a managed to alienate and anger, virtually everybody on campus. thank you so much for talking to us. thanks to sharing your thoughts and experience that laurie brand, professor of political science at the university of southern california, joining us funding use our. thank you very much right now let's uh, get the latest on the situation in gaza and is really a cost of kids, at least 32 palestinians in the last 24 hours, including 8 children, 15 people died when is ready for his child at home in the affair at camp in central guys, a number of nearby houses were done, make the army also bomb 2 homes overnight in russia,
6:20 pm
at least 34388 palestinians have been killed since the war began. this get the latest from honey my mode, who's our correspondent on the ground in rafa. southern gaza, honey. tell us about the latest strikes and thereafter, the, here's the labor went across the guns, service shots, the level of infinity that israel is having right now, despite the global protests, so us, on every level where universities, they are showing no signs of, of, of letting down and slowing down the attack just within the past hour, other residential home and eastern part of the problem was target in this void 6. be rewarded. killed right away from one family was super on the other displays. families inside the building were talking about a 3 story building full of display families of from the northern part of the central area and maurice in the city of find you and his work shoulder inside the residential lakes. that have been laughing completely. the scenes of civil defense,
6:21 pm
the crew of paramedics, are trying to hold people who might have survived these talks and over not a talked and reference city as well. 19 was reported also killed in multiple different locations, the eastern part of central. and also that was from part of the city itself. maybe that the treasure, the most of the tragic ears strikes that happen within the past 24 hours. is that no say that refuge account, but mainly been between the area of why the, the northern part of the account were in is frank destroyed an entire residential building and judging from the pods of the attack, not only the house that was destroyed but also the surrounding area 9 people reported skills. half of them are from one family, mostly women and children on several other were in a critical injuries on still to other people under the levels that that has caused shocking levels of destruction that is becoming quite visible everywhere in the refugee camp of. and this is how i wouldn't described the tragedy that i'm folders
6:22 pm
upon the account. and it says good item, my message to the world is enough with my message to every person with a conscience. would every person who claims to be a human being regardless of religion, race or politics is enough on earth in gaza has had its fill of blood and the occupation. what we can do is trust that god deep will look after us. and how many guys, house ministry says promising is across the street drinking on safe water. it's accusing israel of blocking shipments of coal rain use for trading. water and ministry is also unable to monitor water safety after the public health laboratory was closed. officials are engaged nationals not carrying organizations to help improve sanitation, saying raw sewage and accumulation of waste calls a house breaks. so honey, this lack of clean water is bringing of course, disease and suffering. tell us more about the conditions
6:23 pm
where the quite a catastrophic and not only in over a crowd, a drug test city where people are art friends and this a smaller space either in, in the city itself or inside a small residential homes or intense work where we we did a report around an area where people literally set it up as they are due at that point where a garbage is being collected and pile of it that between tens just causing the spread of infectious diseases. and also is just to creating a favorable conditions for deep disease carrying back stores like flies and mosquitoes. leading it though, and increasing the risk off of the spurting of infectious disease like a thing. the fever, as well as smell are yeah, that is already causing a lot, lots of problems, adding more pressure in the hospital. they're already insufficient in terms of medical a stop. it also exhausted, lack of the extremely like the medical supplies needed for that or intervention. maybe the worst of this, and that's one thing that hard to do, not rely on a daily basis, which is the drink water that is largely non and drinkable,
6:24 pm
a cabinet. it has caused several in the infectious diseases described everywhere. mainly you have a proper type of am, particularly among vulnerable women or children with those with, with the critical health conditions. and the, the, the cases are documented either by the minister of health or the world health organization to our, by the 1000, everywhere. and here we're able to, to document and see these cases. the problem is in the northern part and the city of hon units work, there is no health care sector at functional right now. all the hospitals are talking about, the vast majority of the hospitals have been pushed out of service completely and no medical. the stuff is operated no medical supplies, but also part of the ongoing construction of the smooth delivery of medical supplies. much needed right now for people to combat these difficult live living conditions and health challenges. honey, thank you very much for the update that sondra 0 is honey. my mode reporting a lie from rossa in southern garza. not a coordination of 8 globes that's trying to deliver supplies to guys. i is holding
6:25 pm
a protesting assemble for freedom for 10 accommodation says 2 ships carrying 5000 tons of life saving age unable to leave because they've been de registered by guinea. this how the vessels operate under that countries flag activists are accusing israel of putting pressure on the west african nation side. big as more from east on the organizes how the press conference has central is done. both now ships concept sales without flying a flag, not 2 of those ships of flying the sides of the republic of guinea best. so now over i have to say that those blacks have been removed, including from chicago ship that has thousands of tons of age. now they say that this is a blatant needs political move, an unusual one. now open, i just have the press conference here. they said there's a, there was a request from the authorities in gimme a bustle for an inspection, which they said that was fine. but before the inspection had finished on friday
6:26 pm
afternoon, they were told that the flags were being removed. so those ships cannot set sale that they say the in the communications with the authorities with the destination. the admission to gaza was a reference full. so that will also about the cargo and the route, which is highly unusual. they say that usually these authorities are mainly concerned with the safety and standards of the vessels, the bearing, the flags of these ships kinda upset sale at the moment. and there's no idea when they will be setting sale. now some of those activists that was set to go on this mission to try to break the seeds of goals and deliver that for me that for community hearing aids will be returning to their home countries and some of them are very disappointed other the same. so this isn't the end that they will continue to fight time and work to get those vessels get flagged for those vessels so they can set sail and try to break that seats and hit in istanbul. their protest taking place is a sitting document taking place full week, trying to keep a full front of people's minds. this will on garza and the frustrates and the fees
6:27 pm
and the this, the to the still wants to set sale though we've been speaking to active as a half and some of them. i'm not saying that the best always complicit with is there as long as wouldn't cause that because we have caved in the political pressure organize. it said that they would continue to lift. it tries to make sure that those ships set sail, try to break the siege of garza and deliver that commander to an age of vague data assembled the and the occupied westbank is really forces of shot dead to young palestinians. it happened that the solemn check points me a janine, the victims were reportedly killed during fighting with soldiers. these are, these leads are prevented ambulances from reaching their bodies the same as roddy has more from ro, my line the occupied westbank. with regards to the incidents engineering, we know that people have been marching in the street to protest of these deaths. now these rarely describe what happened as a firefight and we stay engaged these men and killed them. but the denial, even in
6:28 pm
a situation of dealing with the combat, a combatant by the israeli army, the denial of life saving 1st aid, which we do understand that they let them bleed out for an hour before they allowed ambulances to arrive a common practice by the israeli military in these occupied territories, that is a violation of international law and we saw protesting janine that followed in the aftermath of this incident. we know that there are been raids until occur. him as well. the rate ended just a few hours ago this morning. no doubt, a relief for the residence of poker. and the last time we saw major operations in the refugee camp there. it was a massive operation that lasted in around the area for a 3 days where they were trying to find a leader of a posting and resistance fighters battalion. someone who still remains at large. his death was reported was the dust cleared from that operation until for him, turns out he was still alive, remains of thorn in the side of us really military. now we've also just heard in the last hour that just north and west of the 2 villages are being currently rated
