the thread came at the request of the university president after students defied and ultimatum to back down or be expelled. police have been passed to stay on campus until may 17th. more than 1000 people have been detained across 25 campuses in the us. in recent weeks, dw corresponded benjamin elder as gruber was outside columbia as campus in new york . police here in new york quote and of the area of the university, we see cars leaving the area, but we were there when police started doing arrest, also coming closer to columbia university. and also when this run with this emergency unit appeared, and then there's more than 20 law enforcement, the offices into this whole that was occupied by students early tuesday and police is still on the scene. the many police of the many, a unit and columbia university also send out a press release of to 9 pm, saying that they requested additional support and told
10:03 am
a new york police department to go in a university and to arrest the students. we've seen at least 3 buses with a students that happened, arrested the leaving the area, but we don't have a clear number yet of how many students were arrested and who's still on campus ground. let's remember that access was already denied to students into the fact that the stuff in only essential, essential stuff. and also those students who lived inside were allowed to enter a campus earlier today for testers, have been speaking about the reasons for participating in the demonstration assignment. your students, so i feel like it's especially important for me to express my concern about palestinian lives and suffering because i kind of critically stand against the ideas that jewish people cannot be pro palestine. i. i think the design isn't like insights on anti zionism and anti semitism are not
10:04 am
the same thing in human life deserves to be protected, but the hostages came home wouldn't really be here in the 1st place, whether we, you know, and that's, that's a reporter, william blue croft has been following the protests from the beginning. he's told us more about the students demands. you've seen these purchases are happening, not just a columbia, but really in dozens of universities, all around the united states and the demands are different in columbia. as in many other universities, they're not just trying to draw attention to the mass of military campaign that israel is carrying out in guns and as resulted in, according to how most of run health officials, 34000 dead, including many, many, many thousands of children. but they want more than that, they want to investment from stocks in weddings, companies, for example, in him companies in israel. they want to basically cut off the support and connections to the state of israel. that's what many of these students are demanding. member, these universities are massive institutions. they have the big endowments,
10:05 am
sometimes in the billions of dollars. those and elements are invested in companies and in pension funds, all around the world, including an israel, including in um, weapons companies. and that's what students are in many places, including columbia are, are looking to and now the students defied the universities ultimatums to leave at columbia university. what sort of risks are those students taking william with their protest? us right, well, we've seen the, the detention and the arrest of, of dozens of the students has been across united states more than a 1000 arrests of students. some under questionable circumstances considering that many of these protests, the overwhelming number of them have been peaceful. none the less, there's been questions of, of trespassing, of violating campus rules or, or student life rules university regulations. of course, students respond well, we're students here. we're paying tuition to be here. how can that possibly be
10:06 am
trespassing? there's a lot of legal questions here. students risk of course, further disciplinary measures possibly being suspended or kicked out of school. but nonetheless, the protestors themselves would say that that is a chunk of change, small consequences in comparison to what they're protesting, which is the ongoing funds, lot against civilians or civilians taking the brunt of the is really on slot in gaza. violence is broken out on campus at california is u. c. l a is pro, is really activists emerged to challenge broadcasters who are in some important cause of a growing movement of counter protesters have started appearing on us campuses carrying signs and playing videos of how mazda is october 7th attack on the loop. the u. c. l. a chancellor says law enforcement will investigate what they called recent act. some violence by a group of demonstrators university has also increased security in the area. oh ok
10:07 am
. alright, cool. all right. meanwhile, in the middle east to us, secretary of state anthony blinking is an israel to push for a seatbar and hostage deal for god. so he says, israel will open. the air is crossing into northern garza with a and shipments already on the way from jordan lincoln. will be meeting with the officials to discuss increasing the flow that he to enter the war torn region. blanking is also expected to meet is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu, where you monetary and support will be on the agenda against the background of ceasefire proposals and negotiations at a meeting with is really present isaac health. so i blinked and renewed his call for him. us to accept the peace fire proposal with see spot where to turn to get the ccr to bring the hostages all together. now. and the only reason that that wouldn't be changed is because of the loss. there is
10:08 am
a bundle on the table. and as we said, no delays dosage, no excuses. the time is now and the time is now long past due is comes after the un secretary general called on israel's allies to do quote, everything in their power to prevention, assault on the city of rafa in southern gaza. israel says the city is the last girl is a strong hold of home us, which launch the october some terror attacks. speaking to reporters, antonio gutierrez issued a strong play for a cease fire. for the sake of the people of gods, for the sake of the hostages and their families in israel, and for the sake of the region and the why that will. i strongly encourage the governments of israel and how mostly the sheep to reach no in agreements without depth. i see it of the water with only its consequences will seem got
10:09 am
something across the region. woodson exponentially are correspond to rebecca renters is in jerusalem. i asked her about his reels plans to open another border crossing that will allow more humanitarian aid to enter gaza. i will tell you we've had confirmation from these ready military this morning that it is indeed going to reopen this era is crossing. today we are hearing um, now they committed to opening this crossing a few weeks ago, coming on the increased international pressure, particularly from the us. so it's perhaps not surprising that the opening of air is crossing today. coincides with a visit of secretary of state anthony blinking, blinking, or the so 1st shipment of a trucks that were leaving jordan uh and they will be heading to areas where they will have to be checked there before entering into this trip. that will be the 1st of what will hopefully be many crossings, though it is a temporary opening, no errors crossing walls and, and traditionally
10:10 am
a goods crossing. it wasn't for people to cross in and out of gaza, particularly palestinians coming to work inside israel, but also international. they did raise and journalists and they'd like to cross in into gas, or it wasn't actually goods crossing that was down. and karen shut on which many of us will now have been familiar with over the last weeks is that was reopened. now it's obviously been priced. the opening of this crossing has been praised by humanitarian workers and by agencies. but, you know, the crossing in areas will be boosted with the same issues that we're seeing at other crossings. of course, it will hopefully and potentially increase the amount of aid that's going particularly in directly into that northern part of the strip which is really facing the worst parts that isn't, you know, what, what agencies are saying is on the brink of famine, it will be able to directly go into those areas, but of course, getting the aide through and it still needs to be checked by israel is still could be protest is trying to block that aid crossing. and of course we have it still the, the issues with the distribution once the aid actually enters into israel.
10:11 am
meanwhile, negotiations between israel and from us towards a ceasefire on going now, israel's prime minister says his troops will rage rough uh, in southern gaza, regardless of whether a ceasefire deal is reached. how rebecca does prime minister netanyahu explain how he imagines to a military offensive to be compatible with a cease fire as well? he hasn't given an answer to that question, terry. i mean unit and you know, who made these comments while he was speaking to representative groups of groups that represent some of the bereaved families and some bereaved families of the site and soldiers. these groups that represent people who are on the move rights of send to them all whole kish, that has been some of them have been protesting a going into the goals. and so he's speaking to a particular audience. when he made these remarks, he was also making them just prior to meeting to very right wing members of his
10:12 am
coalition who have that. in fact, the sort of given these veiled threats to leave the coalition to try to, you know, force the government to crumble if in fact the government does make this se syiaa deals. so it's certainly an audience that we'd be receptive to hearing, things like that. i think what benjamin netanyahu may be referring to is that this, even, even if as a side deal came through the truth would be something along the lines of 40 days. but like with the law says, fire agreement. we saw israel pick out the 5 thing in the optimal, so perhaps that's what mister benjamin netanyahu is referring to. rebecca, thank you very much. sar correspondent, rebecca rivers in jerusalem. sketchup on a few other stories making headlines today. local media in southern china say at least 19 people been killed after a highway collapsed in the long dung province. the further 13 people were taken to hospital reports suggest some 500 members of the emergency service were dispatched

pest control. the situation remains one of the foreign minister for me and myself, this in groups, the national unity government, and w. w, excuse the ministry, home of targeting civilians and the backend they are losing their desperate so that is fine. they don't even able to, to, to, to discriminate whether it is civilian or military to get the definitely intentionally targeted to the civilian population. because the desperate and the losing the situation in man body means enormously complex. which resistance groups opposed to the one stop at times of the fighting each other as to be at this particular consent for throwing your people in men most not the kind state. and military is the one who are creating the program, who commit that crime against humanity and who creating the hate and dividing the community. so they are also using that, that kind of static in iraq kind of dates. the also using rominger as like

a human to go ahead and get most plans have been at defend data for humanitarian crisis, with some 700000 forced to see to bundle dish. after the 2017 track down by the ministry. i also appreciate that you can union the wrong of sessions to the military honda, which is a really good, an economic and diplomatic pressure for the military hunter. and then, but at the same time, we also need a humanitarian assistance for those who are suffering on the ground. because as we mentioned that there are more and more refugees that are in creating because of the ministry. hundreds of the 2017 ministry track down is now subject of identified investigation at the international court of justice. dr. young, hey, lee is a professor at san june twan university in south korea and

10:18 am

10:19 am
their aspiration is in line with the aspirations of the n, u g, and other ethnic groups and popular this whole population of ma, including the real, hinges to see a free democratic premium law. in our report, we heard the opposition representative the from the national unity government there and exile accusing the hunter of targeting civilians. what can you tell us about those claims? i was there. all right, and there will be, as in any conflict areas at the counseling situations isolated, so to situation, we are unaware of them. we're also asked daniel gee, to look into this and they are looking into them. but the more the, most of the violence is from the military. i just want to give you an example, is that the military and the past 2 months have destroyed $35.00 clinics,
10:20 am
health care centers, that's 2 clinics per day, including civilians were district, were killed during the, the, the destroying of the clinic itself. right. and the military is really going up further in burning all the towns and homes just like they did in 2016 in 2007 t pretty to the right thing. i'm very sorry, but we're out of time. we're going to have to leave it there. professor young hailey farmers special repertoire and human rights in myanmar. thank you very much . i now to georgia and that country's interior ministry says 63 people were detained and 6 police officers injured in the latest night. the protest against a controversial draft law. the bill would require media outlets in various civil groups to register as being under foreign influence. if they receive more than 20
