5:01 am
as the fights for the armies lost, strong hold off for each of these at least 800000 feet displaced the at least $25.00 palestinians have been killed by series of is rarely as strikes across the gauze. in the last few hours, at least 9 members of the same family. what killed in a strike on the human rafa. more than 1500000 displace palestinians are currently sheltering in the city. as you want us to me now from the witness of the is very strong. i'm not the owner of the house is a passing size when you have nothing to do with any political on the groups. and of a sudden have probably been dropped and destroyed for home space in the house. i was talking service the residential towers for the large number of those to the
5:02 am
target to the house is what is the residential building? it is the scene of massive destruction amongst the buildings that have nothing to do with any good. good is enough for us and is the best protector of the united states. the 9900 the rests nationwide, a student protest has continued to demand an end as well as war on garza, the pictures from yale university connecting the and in other states to medical active. this have joined students quoting for the university to cut ties with as well, seeking an end to us which we age for the country. hundreds of demonstrates a standing in sort of narrative kind of students under arrested so phone. phone engine is at the city university of new york. each day in the life of a protest is a little bit different and on sunday day for at city university in new york, we saw how the war in gaza has divided the jewish. first we saw
5:03 am
a man who identified himself as a former, is gravely soldier who said he had just come back from gaza, tried to infiltrate the camp, and there were a few moments of tension. and he was injected and eventually escorted away by police. who said they were doing it for his own safety. then we saw an orthodox, jewish rabbi burn his is rarely passport in protest of the war. and we spoke to an ultra orthodox rabbi who told us why he was here with the protesters and did not believe that the war and god is justified. we are here because we are inspired by these brave students here to the city college in columbia university, throughout the city and the world know these, these courageous students who stand up for justice was done for what is right. this should be a lesson for the world to stand up in the face of this genocide taking place now engaged in this occupation that are the for decades from guess there's are doing is all under the watchful eyes of the leaks,
5:04 am
there are campus security who have already once tried to shut down this protest area and then there's new york police departments who have set up a light coal on either end of this process area. and that is so they can light the place up at night if they need to. and sweep the students out with the students, say, they're here to say john, 100 l u 0. new york on an fisher. is that the george washington university in washington, d. c. u. s. students from at least 8 universities have joined the 4th day of protests. so remember that this all started on thursday when students spoke, you pipe, you'd invest the yard and you can see the hard core to protest. there's probably about the does. we are still in the courtyard. they are in their tents. they're not moving any way. assume they've been there since thursday. the university of florida through the put the railings across the courtyard to restrict them spreading any farther. but it's not, protest has gotten smaller. the protests on the street has become much bigger. in
5:05 am
fact, there's a growing ear of permanency to this. not only do we have tents where people can eat and we've had lots of local businesses donating food to the people here. more or more people are setting up tents because they intend to spend the night here. now there's no sign that the students are going to leave the meet the demands, very clear to the university authorities at each school. and there's, they're going to 8 or 9 of them represented to you. i've got slightly different demands, but the key points are they want the universities to dive based. any interests they have it and it's really businesses, they want to cut academic ties with israel as well. and they want to make sure that the of test leaders will not face part that actually we know george washington university 7 of those who are involved in the protests in thursday while they have been suspended. and that means they could lose their student housing possibility. they won't graduate as well, and all the credits for the last 10 will be white type. so they're asking for
5:06 am
a complete on this date as well. and the intention of the students is to stay here to say this is the for, they don't cnn. any time soon, all that for sure. i'll just see it up at george washington university in washington, dc. until the val has this update now from the university of north carolina or it's chapel hill in this process just now. well, i'm truly on the way we have told by the organizers there was somewhere in the region of 500 people here. i can say. so if you're the best of the students from this campus, from other universities, local activists table, they've just seen the social media post. i wanted to come here to show the sort of darzy. i'm the support for the people. i've garza, i'm, the demands from the university students have a very clear number one. they want the university 5 best from products that support israel. number 2, they want full transparency about any investments that relates to israel. now the university is allowing these people to be here. it's like some of them appear for
5:07 am
several days. if you look over that, you can see where they feed, sleeping. they are allowed to sleep on the restrict provide. so i do not erect any time since. so they'll be there sleeping all throughout the night. i may be to help all throughout the tides, although i am told by some of the organizers of this protest, the university is try other methods to get them out. for example, they have locked the doors to a number of these buildings, so nobody can use the restroom. also, they have stopped taking the trash away, so the students and outside of the area so that it doesn't start to smell. and number 3, they say they've been told by the universe and say that the sprinklers will be turned on at midnight. so they proactively put book kids over the spring close to stop them being french, but they say they've had about audio thought. this isn't watchable about the why the course. they will stay it for as long as it takes at the moment there is no police presence. there are some purpose officer station on the outside of the area, just keeping an eye of things. but at the moment, this is a very, very peaceful process, a lot process, but
5:08 am
a peaceful protest fil about. let's just say era. chapel hill, north carolina, to thousands of people who are arrested during a protest and supports a protest in south washington university on size of the evening. one of them was dr . joe stein the presidential candidate for the green party. this is us selections. she says legitimate criticism of his route is often incorrectly deemed as anti semitism. i am a person of jewish background myself that was raised very much, you know, after the holocaust and having a grand parents who were refugees from anti semitism and pogroms themselves. you know, i was raised very much within that, tried to within that tradition, but that tradition was also fed to genocide should happen to know one. and unfortunately, you know zionism is not judaism and zionism has been controversial within the jewish community. in fact, since its origins in the 18 hundreds and that the controversy continues today,
5:09 am
and the consequences of zionism were basically, people came in just came in refugees who then said this land is ours. and we are ethnically cleansing this land. that's not ok, is fine for people to be refugees, but them to take over the land and to displace and use violence against the people who are there. you know that this problem, this crisis did not start on october 7th, october 7th, was just the latest phase of you know, violence that was perpetrated mostly by israel, against the palestinians, starting back at the knock by an before in fact, certainly 75 years in advance in advance of that and unfortunately, jews, and i know myself because i was raised as part of that have been taught a certain version of history which is not quite accurate. and as more and more historical documents have come to light, it's, you know, it's very clear that there have been a, there's been, you know, an outrage is tradition of violence against palestinians from the get go. so
5:10 am
zionism is something that needs to be defeated and being anti zionist is not the same as being anti semitic logic. coming back is the president and founder of a ted not international peace group, which attempt to bring jude as an arabs, israelis, and palestinians to get the in dialogue. this is what he thinks about the confidence and goss. my name is eliza calendar and i am 21 years old. i'm a student here at the university of texas at austin and i'm majoring in jewish studies. government and middle east studies. my father's side is austin ozzy jewish and my mother's side has so part of jewish kind of heritage. i'm a very proud you in most jewish education when it comes to palestinians, they're not told about 1948. so you're not told about the not, but um we typically told um, sometimes outright rates of things and not errands and palestinians. i began in the process of unpacking a lot of what i was told and hebrew school, but also engaging with palestinians and
5:11 am
a conclusion. i came to is that policy and culture is more similar to my culture and any other culture in the world. find the president and founder of athena international work. he's a t not combined the keyboard, a t, t for future with the arabic suffix. now for our and when he put those 2 together means our future, we really just try to promote open dialogue on college campuses to get to know the quote unquote of for you. and i'm leaving you to begin to humanize the other. i think that's more important now than ever. i believe that the actions in gaza do constituted genocide. there are many corporations that are profit tearing from what is happening in gaza. specifically, american corporations like boeing, like lockheed martin. and these are the corporations that needs to be called out for profit tearing from the death and destruction of the palestinian people. and because students took their 1st amendment civil liberties at the university to the forefront, they were repressed. i was injured when one of the state troopers charged with the horse and i was subsequently pushed to the ground. i was in shock when that
5:12 am
speaking out on behalf of the palestinian people is not inherently anti semitic. i personally dealt with a lot of the accusations that i am either a self hating you and even worse, somebody called me a capital, which is a jew who sell the fellow jews to the nazis all for the stance is i've taken for my policy and brothers and sisters, and that's personally um, very hurtful to me. i lost family in the whole of costs, but it doesn't stop me. i understand what i'm doing. it's just i, i'm standing with my pulsing brothers and sisters for a very normal cause. and, and i view them as my family and then they just round of diplomatic talks, the us president joe biden and is very prime minister benjamin netanyahu held a phone call. the set of discuss the possibility of an immediate cease fire, which would be in conjunction with the release of captives holden garza. the 2 men also discussing increasing the delivery of age to gaza. us secretary, state antony, blinking is due to make yet another trip to the middle east is expected to travel
5:13 am
to saudi arabia, israel, and join. and on monday i am asked, allegation is due in the egyptian capital discuss a ceasefire proposal handed to them by mediators and cattle in egypt. both countries of trade, the key role in efforts to secure a ceasefire between israel and thomas, which on covey, the white house national security adviser says that attempts to, for just the spot between is right. and i saw still on getting what we're hoping is that after 6 weeks of a temporary cease bar, we can maybe get something more enduring in place of it certainly will help increase the volume of a that's getting into guys, but nothing can replace quite frankly, nothing can replace the ground routes and the trucks that are getting it, but they are. i spoke to valley curry, he's distinguished public policy for the american universe to be root. he says the bottom ministration is concerned, but it's support for as well,
5:14 am
but impacts the hopes for re election. the 2024 us presidential race. what's fascinating, here's the involvement of the 3rd party which of these united states. this is the war between the united states and israel on one side and her mouth and some other groups on the post and inside. the united states is really worried about many things they were terrified of. the iranian is rarely exchange of fire. a weapon, you know, attacks between them, even though they were both controlled. they were terrified of a wider war in the region. what the impact of the some horrid flows, investment on global trade will be catastrophe. the united states government, led by the democrats and biden, are terrified of the impact of this war on their election prospects in november of its fall yesterday they showed of 81 percent of young people. all people, not just democrats, 81 percent of americans between the ages of 18 and 34 thinks of the war as being
5:15 am
badly managed them. they disapprove of the way the was going on. american support for this is a huge, huge thing for american politicians. and they're also finding that they're not being isolated around the world because you can't islip initial strong, but they don't have the same cloud that they, that they used to. people are looking at the china to rush up to india to the bridge, to other people for strategic relationships as well as americans. so that's huge fear in the us as well. so that head to on the program are saying, piece, displace, palestinians, hold a football match, and a southern goss. quoting for 6 plus 30 years of democracy onto 0 jen. this returns to its former university to talk to students about the south africa's past and future. the
5:16 am
well, once we see rain disappearing from japan, another batch is on its way through. shanghai will fetch, with effect south korea and southern japan during monday, but the soles region, which is effectively china based the south, the yangtze is filling up again a violent thunder storms with the potential for tornadoes. the 2nd t, it's heavy rain and i've seen $1.00 to $200.00 millimeters reported in any 24 hours . so funding where it is and then i probably will be and where it sits on the drying will be top top, been a very wet few weeks in southern china is not dying that you find this thing is regenerating and pushing down to what's hong kong and up towards shanghai during tuesday and still the big charles anywhere from west property has to be sort of crazy to borneo catching some living maybe as finals a single pole. and the tail end of what should be the rainy season. it's hot
5:17 am
weather in india. there are a few channels arriving to the northeast and in bangladesh, and particularly in northern pakistan where they have been pretty pikey. however, temperatures are high and that's the main story or, or dish or up towards westbank go. and also in bangladesh. cuts is full customer if it reflects practice, they also bangladesh is still about 8 degrees higher and there's no of the now was the time to be direct. israel's project has been to completely conflict zionism and judy as a. but it was not a jew, israel's a state, and they need to be treated as any other state. what. this is where the tough questions are, as can you see negotiations being even happen? this is the most important, which is not going to negotiate, poll unapologetic, i'm just asking last upfront on out here in
5:18 am
the you're watching, i'll just say a reminder of the headlines now. at least 25 palestinians have been to vice very air strikes across garza. the last few house police 9 members of the same family were killed in a striking a home in rafa. when 1500000 displaced, protestants are currently sheltering in the united states that have been many, 900 arrests nationwide this test is new to the mind. and as well as one goes that demonstrates is according for the universe, just a concept ties with israel,
5:19 am
seeking an inch to us, which thousands of schools across the pots of asia have temporarily shut down due to a searing heat wave. well, thoughts is enough for the pains of suspended crosses for the 3 days of the announcing school closures last week. public health warnings have also been issued for cost to say the unusually hot weather in the philippines is expected to last until mid may also the capital of manila. so rec, with high temperatures, the spring in the body be low now in the left for us. uh finally, just how unusual all the temperature is for this time of year. well, terry, the philippines is a tropical country, so it is hot here all throughout the year. but it is especially hot during the months of march, april in may. it is normal for temperatures to hit low to mid thirty's, but it is unusual for temperatures,
5:20 am
so hit the high thirties and we're not just talking about the temperature here. we're talking about the heat index as well. so as you mentioned, 38.8 degrees celsius here in the capital, i'm in the last uh yesterday. that's the hottest temperature on record for the philippine capital, but the heat index, the one that measures the heat that you feel in your body was $45.00 degrees celsius that's taking into a cab community as well. but in other parts of the philippines, the heat index even hit as high as 53 degrees celsius. so you can imagine just how hot that is right now. my skin is burning in this heat. and i, you know, i should know because i grew up here when i was young temperatures would hit 30 to 35 degrees. that's normal during these months of the year. but now it is really unusually hot. and one of the sectors that's been greatly impacted by this heat wave, as you mentioned, is the education sector are right now. i'm is standing in the middle of
5:21 am
a school round and you can see behind me it's empty. the task room, sir, empty, the grounds, mt. there are no students here because as you mentioned, classes have been suspended for today and tomorrow all the way to may 1st. but classes have actually been suspended for many days now. but that's not to say the students are not learning. they have switched to the online mode up for any. but of course, parents are concerned that this is not the best way for students to learn as it is . the quality of education in the philippines at this point is already lower or poor than other countries in the region as well as the rest of the world, terry, and bodily, aside from the schools and the problems that how is the why that population across the philippines that coping with a c of the best right. of course the, the most dramatic impact has been on the student population. but the rest of the
5:22 am
philippine population is also suffering in particular workers. labor as ordinary employees would have to commute daily to work in the seats. so individually they're just doing what they can to protect themselves from this themselves from this heat . um they're using umbrellas, they're hydrating as often as they can. they're also wearing protective clothing. um, but the labor department of the government has also issued some guidelines for employers to well it's, it's not for them to really follow. it's just to encourage them to, to mitigate the effects of this heat on their employers. and the labor department is encouraging employers to use protective to have their employees use protective clothing, where temperature, appropriate clothing also to implement flexible hours uh when possible.
5:23 am
also to take a longer breaks during the middle of the day when the heat is intolerable. so all these measures are be encouraged by the government, but of course in the individually people are also doing what they can. people spending more time in balls where there's air conditioning. people also going to resort also going to facilities in the city where there are swimming pools, drinking more water showering more. but this is kind of a catch 22 situation as well. because water reservoirs are drying up and the power supplies also spinning kerry. in the middle of the forest found to be there. thank you. that's all nato struck. the southern chinese sits. you run joe. kidding. 5 people. 33. others were injured during the twist to land at mid afternoon on saturday. well, the 140 fracture buildings with damage. the 2nd tornado hit another district later
5:24 am
in the day. at least 4 people, including a 4 month old baby, all dead and all to teenagers hit the us state of oklahoma. the storms which began late on saturday nights of destroyed buildings and the thousands without pallet. well, 100 people have been injured. at the home, a government has declared to dissolves, to emergency for the state. dozens of tornadoes having the ports of the across the american midwest since friday. fencing is 5 minutes to costume punch of the will is wanting that the heavy rains, which if that's a widespread, deadly flooding are set to continue. at least 155 people have been killed while nearly a quarter of a 1000000 people have been displaced. tons, and there is one of several countries across east africa dealing with the impact of the new weather pattern.
5:25 am
now the un security council says is deeply concerned that saddam's power, military rapids support forces are preparing an attack in the l. a. ship. the city is the last stronghold of the all me in the west and off for region least 21 communities have been attacked in the area since a much number of civilians displaced by fighting in our fashion has glen to 800000 in recent months. the are assessed to control the for all the state capitals. last year. have been morgan reports from competing the reason why the united nations security council and other agencies, nations and the united nations secretary general as they are focusing on n slash it is because it's the city that's many people from other parts of dar for displaced to when their cities fell under the control also be permitted to rapid support forces. the number of displaced people went from 300002 over 800000 in recent months as a result of the iris of taking over the cities in the therefore region. the concern
5:26 am
is that these tribes the tribes that are right now in a plastic tribes that have been historically targeted by the apartment, a 3 are a separate since the size of it are 4 in 2003. so they are fears that if the iris have spots attacking the city, then those tribes will be targeted just as the ethnic metallic type were targeted in the west are 4 in the city of june and i was that's where the you and said between 10 to 15000 people were killed in the space of weeks by the parent military rapids support forces. i'm allied diminishes. so the concern is that especially would become what has been described as a killed box, and they will be a mastercard, where they are assessed, and their allies, melisha will target people based on their ethnicity. now there's been calls for a ceasefire and for the turing parties to return to talk before uh, the hours of attacks and pressure. but so far, the 2 sides are, you get to uh, heat through those calls and announce that they will be reviewing negotiations and decide to city of kid that between the,
5:27 am
between them mediated by saudi arabia and the united states. so while the 2 sites are, you get to attend to negotiating table or for to agree to any ceasefire. they all concerns that once the recept attacks those trapped in the city of especially the ethnic a 4 or the people who have been historically targeted by the our staff will be caught in the middle and that they will be a mess, a car and ethnic cleansing know 30 years of democracy in south africa and they have a chief political stability, but with high unemployment and an equality don't. everyone has received that battle . i promised in his constitution with an election due next month during the whole gigs, the views of students that john has both fits you and invest us in south africa's university of the vic vault. as frontal bits has always been a politicized campus, it was a hot bed of student protests during the struggle against the prostate. when nelson mandela became president in 1994, i was a new student here. i wondered what vit students make of this moment?
5:28 am
30 years old from south africa's 1st free and democratic election. that remains really relevant to me because that is not a long time. like it was only recently when we got the democracy that we have and the freedom of everybody to vote the way we have. i think it would be unreasonable to see that it hasn't been progress one, we have political rights, we convert to freedom of speech. we can criticize our government as much as you want. i'm not going to come to me and say if you vote for this issue, the answer from powell, if you do a b, c is going to do. but i know that because i mean, wait. and if maybe the point is where to take a lot for us to take us out of it. so it's very important you can hopefully by realistic at the same time you sent you the, i think that saw that some democrats, you just thought, i think i was package nicely put everyone on it and put my data on the same thing with a different that people, what we saw was an opportunity for change. we're still figuring out what works for us and what doesn't. so it becomes very hard to explain to
5:29 am
a generation of people were born born freeze, who are thrown into the system movie and told you have this right. you have that right, but not least, what the responsibilities and not really being able to hold. and you just are comfortable to the instance of a democracy is changing of leadership. so to see how healthy a democracy is, i think this year will be important in that sense. i often say i'm the change i want to see and that begins with me. one of them uh with young people who said before to, that's way, if you don't inform yourself, educate yourself about the state of the economy. i thought we caring descending and how you can make that change and contribute to it. so i'm the change, i don't want to see is the power hold in being a young person. i just go to university this year of a 1st year. i'm now able to vote. so i think for me, my role as a student is to like, i get everybody else. you also just to me,
5:30 am
i'm interested in making a difference. i love to say that one drop of what's in that, which means nothing much. can you send me in that on some way? so if 27000000 voices agree to connect to make change the voices of you, that was something you could do more in 5 years than has happened in 30 years. and that is that i can tell you guys, i'm so grateful to you for sharing these valuable insights into the state of south africa and future associates in this beautiful setting bits university your you've invested my university to thank you for speaking to alpha 0. now despise palestinians have held a football tournament in southern garza 50 teenagers faced each other to encourage players around the world to quote for cease for some good for groups and unusual match. kicks off in this camp for the displaced in the alpha, 50 palestinian teenagers are playing for the wind but their goal goes.
