and then a total content, the hundreds of university students across the us have been arrested so far as the movement against the war on guns. it continues to grow across the country. the carry johnston, this is alex, is there a lot from? so i also coming up protests for protest on the head of the white house correspondents attendance with calls for jen list. the boy called the events were present by the set to speak is ready bombardments,

across the gauze. this trip is killed at least 2070 palestinians including 10 children since saturday morning. first, i'm drawing a hole in front of the union buildings in pretoria where they've been celebrations of south africa's 1st free and democratic election. the growth, nelson mandela, and the african national congress to power. 30 years ago, the hundreds of university students across the us have been detained so far as validates against the one goals that have been gathering steam spreading throughout the country. of the lease of all right out nod scale arrests on campuses and recent days at times using chemical irritants in cases to disperse students. some universities are had to cancel the graduation ceremonies while others have seen entire buildings occupied

by protesting students. let's just over a week since students at columbia university begun demanding the school divest from israel students at columbia, hoford's georgetown, mit and george washington university began demanding the same protest spread from the northeast to campuses in michigan, texas and california. and we have a team of correspondence that covering this story for sending us in a moment. but we live in atlanta with phil, available for us to join engine, is that the city university of new york? so john, what's the situation there with the maybe tell us what's happening? well after more than a week of it is there's a sense of normalcy. like you would have it say, a refugee camp. if you look around, of all of these gents remain. those are where people live and sleep by day. and then if you look over on the other side,

behind this monument here you've got speaker, it is one after the other who come out and sort of encourage people, remind them why they're here and uh, and the entire time. ready they're trying to make sure the police don't come in and sweep this all away. and the rules are different. at each camp we went to princeton university earlier today because they tried to play by their rules. they were, they didn't put up tents, they were masks because they were worried about being identified. they don't want to be kicked out. and they didn't use microphones because that's against university room here, and it most of their camps, they simply don't play by the university's rules. and that's kind of the point of an occupation. earlier, we spoke to linda sar sewer. she is a well known palestinian american, a speaker, and she had a lot to say about what she thought about what these students are accomplishing. here's a sample these young people are reaffirming and demonstrating that tied is 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 war in 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 the january 6th protest, i didn't see anybody get arrested there. do you think there's a double standard here? there absolutely is double standards and american law enforcement and also with these university presidents. i mean, we are watching young people here who are engaging and safe and peaceful, protesting. they are young people that you don't even have to agree with. but they live in america in a democracy and they have every 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 the

powers. you have any idea of why not one major university president is 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. they're 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 don't want that to reflect their values, which are equity and justice and freedom for all. so this has become the ribbon of daily life here. and they live at risk of arrest at all times about a 100 people were arrested in the, in the past 24 hours, there been over 615 people arrested over the past week or so. when that happens,

when they clear out these camps, the students simply rebuild in the same place as they have it columbia in new york university, where they build elsewhere, as we saw earlier at princeton trying to engine. thanks very much for that. meanwhile, phil of l is that to every university in atlanta, phil describe the scene in the atmosphere there, i would say is less protest and one of the better. what is more festival? like at the moment, i mean, just 30 seconds ago, we have bought molly. we had stevie wants to play the people here with that dogs. it's very much a positive gathering and that's very much by design. the organizes have very publicly settled social media, you know, bring a blanket, bring some food, re, something to drink. i just make your presence and not this is not something where they want the police to be involved. they don't want any arrests. they want people just be here in a positive way, projecting that towards the people of gauze and do what like how did anyway,

to help us. so that would be a complete contrast to what we saw on the 1st day, of course, and exactly the same location where we saw those offices from emory police from atlanta police state troopers have a rest day and some 28 people, including students. i'm faculty members, a professor, a one professor for example, was taken into custody as well to complete difference. and there was a very small police presence to me. it's very hard to spot a police officer here at the moment. you really have to look hard because they are very much keeping that distance with whole by organizes but they've been given until midnight before this. any kind of police actions take place. i'm going to talk now to graduate student, least the patel. i'm your role here is i guess less organized to remove like a liaison role between students and the university. how has that been going? it's been going really well. um, so i'm currently present of our graduate student body and it's just been so nice to see. all of our students have worked so closely with this here. come together. a better like med students who set up a 1st aid kit are lost. students have,

i should have been legal observers in the community is really just coming together to rally in support of each other. so how would i figure out the 1st? i mean, 1st i was caught up for me, i think experience for a lot of people. yeah. i, i myself was actually here thursday morning when it all went down and it was, it was absolutely traumatizing is terrified, but again, it doesn't compare to what people in cars are facing right now. and we all recognize that and we've come back together to reset the, the ideas. what we want is for emory to come to me, the sol, divestment of is really apartheid and comp city here in atlanta. and that's what we want to focus on. how do you so realistically, say a play now, because that is quite likely for test to say we're going to be here every day. combining a showing and that's what it sounds like. the university's got new, it's not planning on changing its position. so 2 blocks west, i think the university is going to have to, um, this is not just something that students decided thursday morning, the something we've been asking from the university since october and divestment efforts on this campus go back to south african apartheid. so this is not new at all, and i think it's time that the university starts to listen because them not listening

is really what's causing harm to our community. right. make itself thanks very much . will. speaking of the university's position, the presidents of the university, a great friend was he is the man who i am. so as they defended the police being here, he said that the protests were largely organized by outside influences. and he's been facing a lot of demands for him to go. in fact, on friday, one faculty held a votes for emotion and look of no confidence in him. at the moment he's not signaling that he's going anywhere, but his position is, according to a lot of people here looking increasingly untenable. so that's obviously having representations closer to home as well as the wider issue. how to see what's happening in the middle east at emory. university in atlanta for us, the phil thank for mike conner is outside of students and tablets at the george washington university in the us capital 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 doesn't get to be good, then it is. now if you look over here, this, outside this on a street running along side universe be 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 there has been no vitriolic language that they will just stay and monitor. they will not into fear this despite the fact that the university authorities awesome some 24 hours ago to move in the police declining to do so. and perhaps what's happening here is something that happened way back in june 2020. when dc police forcibly disperse, demonstrate as with but tongues and to i guess something that was seen as very bad optics and something that the police do not want repeated. hence this stand up as

a tube at the moment. the university itself, though the thirty's 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 been 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 and southern gaza displaced, palestinians at camps and referrals, thanking the student protest just for the show of solidarity. they've been displaying messages of gratitude on their tents. they say that despite the clamp downs by university administration is on the police close to end, the war had been heard by the people besieged in gaza. i'm not, that's how they have to the i'm not sure i had enough with this idea came to us of seeing what was happening in the news,

especially the support from the students of the world, particularly the students of columbia university, full standing with us, with the humanity, their hearts and their compassion, and we hope the world will stand united with them. we hope for the world to support them, you know, to arrest them and imprison them from the show, the home or us present to the bottom to set to speak to the annual white house correspondents association. didn't protest isn't uh, gathering outside the hotel that's hosting event on a demonstrating in solidarity with palestinians in the besieged garza trip. demanding an end to the war and gauze of hundreds of janice politicians and celebrities only gather the century. both events. meanwhile, at more than 2 dozen protest in june, this has called for fellow janice to boycott white task correspondence soci ation. didn't they say that by the administration is complicit 10 as well as systematic tanning of palestinian generalists since as well as world guns began last october.

the is there any minute tree is killed? 142 new cars. and this 40 palestinian janice, have been arrested by these very ministry and the committee to protect jan. this says that 2023 was a deadliest year for german, this in a decade. 75 percent of those killed worldwide. the palestinians reporting on the one concept because now live to actually have a tennessee who's at the protest outside the white house correspondents down in washington dc she had. but i imagine that the organizers may notice on the face of painted the strength of feeling on this as well. they showed up, i mean it's, it's astonishing. there aren't any we've ever seen a white as far as loaners didn't like this, where i want you guys to be, are these stream in to be seated with our venture? we did our with turn button for the protest of the shopping. shame, shame, the point is going to be some $140.00, not to sit in,

john has been dad about charles, you're breaking bread with jerk bite and there's probably so 2 places in those that's for a brief moment actually outside go to the app. that's what all the windows up at the top of your help center was on file. yeah, but the pictures will feed them in a benefit for a brief moment. the hills itself was occupied territories excited about panos send in solar diety. let's talk to one of the, the organizers that are on the palestinian youth movement. what are you trying to achieve, what, why, why you're starting sharing to the attendees of this, of this events that are attending this event shouldn't be ashamed of themselves. there's been over 200 these sort of genocide over 30000 palestinians, 100 pounds. and a 140 journalist had been targeted by the is really government murder because they are telling the truth. they're telling the truth about the fact that that is really government hispanic hospital and one is an age science and intentionally started me

the people and instead of speaking out against that and having any listing integrity, we are having dinner and laughing with fighting with providing millions of dollars to be as really governments for them to fund this genocide. and they've said nothing. they have actually manufactured consent amongst the american public for the john to find a policy and they should be ashamed of themselves. and we're here to let them know that would you think that a realize what they're doing? what do you think is happening and how, how does this work? they know what they're doing. they're being a mouth piece for the american government and for the is really government journalist. and that means you media that seek out against the war. kinds of use really government are committed, lose their jobs and they're fired because the us has material interest in the dense of policy and getting the best plan. and so we're out here to say we demand a permanent and immediacy fires in end to the 17 year long season and an end to the $76.00. you're on vacation, or is it or is it sort of a sense of attitude in the setting? i mean, for sort of people who for us,

for perhaps some of us media problems quite like strictly off an evening where i'm hanging out with jerry bye and you get that sense sometimes. maybe that's why they're getting frustrated when they're walking past that because they want to turn a blind eye. they want to do what's been over 200 days. and we're not allowing anyone that is encouraging and profiting off of this genocide to live their lives as normal. the people are rising up against the is really government against the genocide against occupation. we're never going to knock down until we win and stand up with the people around to talk to you. thank you very much. the goal is really that is to say out here are while these drum less breaking bread with button. i'm last i get off of themselves the vacant bombs here. the protests outside who um, who are choosing them who are exposing them. but what's very cool complicity. she got thanks very much indeed. well, so with that, come on, i'll just share ukraine and russia target to each of those energy facilities with rockets and trend strikes

the the to have a typical spring set up in the us and canada is to draw a goal. fair right up the plane states which are flat and stuff, the guy until they meet the call coming down from the know, then you generate johnson's films. and in this case they have been very big nebraska and i went down to west texas and fell from border to golf border. the charts is uh, they could be repeated on sunday on monday, january the risk travel was fairly east. was this big system. and the top end of it still brings snag into central canada and in the west, the rockies also it's cold enough for business, but most of california is enjoying the sunshine, of course, kind of being stuff exactly settled at the moment. still frequent shares with potential for flash floods in haiti, dominican republic, parts of rico,

possibly the legal dogs as well. and as you can see, orange top suggest big charles in columbia and in panama, i think in panama. the range is one to the of 19 ton, which it falls critical. these, the seasonal range from northern brazil across to ecuador, produced recently once again, warnings of potential funding. and that could go to the south. it's laquata. yes, there are still potentially big thunderstorms running on a typical front of the fastest presume. so that must be fine. the why have american evangelicals become his real strongest back or is us presidential find the right to stand with this really with no red line? as long as us support continues, is there anything that can stop is real, solve on gaza for going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics,

the bottom line to showcase of the best document 3 films from across the network. on al jazeera, the the welcome back, a reminder of our main storage. hundreds of university students across the united states have been arrested as protests against, as well as one goal is to continue to spread across the country. thousands of students are pointing on the universities to come towards each route. the test is

not governing outside the hotel that's hosting the white house. correspondents. dinner us is conflict, sits in isabel's last picture. so hundreds of chess publications and celebrities or catherine, the didn't present to invite set to speak events. but earlier we spoke to him who 3 over the phone. she joined us from the law in the central garza. she spoke about the conditions posting in june. this in gaza facing a if i have the word to describe what i have been going to is 10 october 7. this is not something that has been ending. it has been continuous every single day for more than $200.00 days. we have been killed, displaced homeless, and we're not only reporting on this, but we're also living get with every single detail. we're living this war in all

aspects of life. we have not being seen our families as dirt and if you have not been able to eat well, we have been dehydrated. we have been not having offices. we have been reporting in one of the most harsh conditions like any report or could go through and move his reporting despite losing a lot of colleagues and hurt our our sold in our high every single day. we have been a target. we have been constantly targeted by that is really air strikes and it's very me selling a week ago was tammy had our colleague was targeted with an artillery showing he got his leg amputated in the same exact moment. the tanks, fiery, that's him. he lost his leg, he has been calling to leave the cause of chip, but there has been no response because he needs medical treatment. all of the, the things we have been living in as draining this are overwhelming,

are exhausting us. but we still continue because there has been at least 100 policy in journalists who i personally know that have been killed since october 7. and if they were here today with us, they would be reporting and they would be raising the voice of the voice. just touch me is missing a new title side for more than $200.00 days or on the ground in gaza is rarely a tax across this trip of killed at least $32.00 palestinians over 24 hour period, including 8 children. 15 people died when is very forces show the home is at captain central gauze, at least 34388 post indians have been killed since the war began. of thousands advancing government for testers have been gathering once again in tennessee, as government continues to face growing anger and discontent demonstrates has accused the government of driving out no. most of them going for early elections

and for these, for any prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign. but it's, it has moved from kind of the video. there's like this video really. there is really the 1st side of life in terms of the 7th. and that was a part of many of the 6 families reminder that there is any money to keep those is rarely cabbages. as opposed to a 1000000 in show kind of indication about typical tax, although strongly advise it's a couple of minutes. i'm sorry, you said that every time you go to a deal, the sabotage you said is there on how much i'm not showing no commitment to

reaching the safe spot in a whole state to release out into the pressure a prime minister benjamin bit benjamin netanyahu. these gathering calls very, i believe that yahoo is delivery so i'll just tell me the about south africa is mocking 30 years since it's historic 1st democratic election in 1994 which month to the end of a pond side present that sooner. i'm opposed to a defendant who's governing african national congress is racquel, june, celebrations, or opinion post address support for the agencies dwindling ahead of next month's

general election trying to hold as more from pretoria it was a celebration of the events that ended upon the date of the to the civil war and gave bus to a new south africa, 13 years ago, president to rebel post said freedoms bills had run out to across the country. that they jo oppression. a new nation rooted in on human drive is among the greatest. and the 2 friends of modern history on the 27th of april 1994 millions of black south africans voted for the 1st time. the election swept nelson mandela and the african national congress to power. what became known as the rainbow nation. we had just signed a break freedom days and we is at my g d way invited to come into the bay as we,

as we are, as young as we are. we are central and south. and then since i was young, i know the events to 30 years ago still viewed significance, they delivered the free and democratic society in which everyone now lives with rights, with justice, but not necessarily opportunities for the problem. is that a better life? the role remains elusive? for many and what the will thank list as the most unequal country on the one and 3 are unemployed. infrastructure is crumbling, crime and corruption, rice in an election year with the amc losing ground to other parties. the president said he would continue to work towards the vision and the ideals of 1994 south africans to put that promise many times before. jo,

how l g 0 pretoria 100. more on what summit south africans regard those the unfulfilled promises of 1994 from the reports now from alexandra township. and john is back to the governing african national congress has for years promised a better life pool and to some extent, it's delivered. it's provided free base to get you cation. it's also both millions of homes for people who don't have any. and it's also provided running water and electricity, especially in rural areas. but many here in the alexander township. most of do i had this book, few very different t they say enough hasn't been done. many of the homes here are in formal housing, both with corrugated cheating with whatever material people can find, including plastic, to create some sort of shelter. housing here is hard to come by, it's an area that is densely populated. now the government is having difficulty

with a short full of at least $2800000.00 homes. and each other grows by at least a $180000.00 people. here's a more needs to be done. there's things that we can celebrate the things that i feel we, we not yet at that point to celebrate one we, we not eh, liberated as blakes of africans. we still haven't gotten the freedom to financial freedom for us. so that's how i know it hasn't changed. i have a few thoughts, put things in there like this. people are living with like did, very promising applies. wow. sold africans acknowledge that they have been liberal rates that they have the right to vote. many, especially the areas like the say they haven't been liberated in terms of the economy. they have limited access and that and equality. this is one of the most an equal societies on earth, and they say the gap between the rich and what is only growing so many, the ultra 0 alexandra township to have his bug. the ukraine says it shut down at

21 of 34 missiles that was the worst by russia. an overnight attack. most of the strikes targeted ukraine's energy facilities and ukraine that says it targeted to oil refineries and rushes across the dollar region with drones. any on site today. if that cost finds out the facilities on home and has more from keith, ukraine's government said the on friday night a mass me. so strike particularly targeted the countries energy network. the company d tech said that full of bits from electricity pods had been attacked. and this has been a strategy from russia targeting ukraine's energy network, tugging the electricity in the country. there's also been a ramp up. ukrainian government says on a tax on its railway lines. it says that russia is trying to attack its military supplies, getting to the front. now why the focus and the increase in these attacks?

now there's 2 key timeframes. the 1st is may, the 9th, that since either russia celebrates its victory over germany in world war 2, but it's become a day of military celebration in general in the country. i'm reportedly at the government that wants to see gains before the made the noise. so we can celebrate them on that side. there's another key timeframe. and that's to do with the fact that there's been a $61000000000.00 a package approved by the united states to get towards ukraine. and so russia who's so the craning government says, wants to make as much advances, knock out as much infrastructure as it can before the weapon rate and the ad, the phone defenses in that package start to arrive in the country and it can protect the more. now on the other side, the russian defense ministry said to the intercepted $68.00 drones that with going towards the country and particularly towards the crescent region. the governor across an adult has said that they were trying to attack the oil refineries that.
