ground. let's remember that axis was already denied to students into the fact that the stuff in only essential, essential stuff. and also those students who live inside were allowed to enter a campus earlier today are reported. william glue croft has been following these pro to see told us more about the students demands. you've seen these purchases are happening, not just the 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 much that were on health officials. $34000.00 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 big

endowments, sometimes in the billions of dollars, those endowments 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? right, well we've seen the, the detention and the arrest of, of dozens of the students has been across the united states more than a 1000 the rest of students, some under questionable circumstances considering that many of these protest, 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 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 fun slot against civilians or civilians taking the brunt of the is really onslaught in gaza. well, violence is broken out on campus at california is u. c. l, a. as counter protesters emerged to challenge demonstrators supporting goes up. there have been confrontations at the pro palestinian camp and police have responded to the u. c. l a chance or his call for support. the university is also increase security in the area colleges around the us have been struggling to contain similar protests on thousands of campuses to see what the

to great hostages. blinking statement comes after the un secretary general called on israel's allies to do quote, everything in their power to prevent and assault on the city of rob of israel says the city is the last gaza stronghold of hum us which launched the october 7th terror attacks. speaking to reporters, antonio gutierrez issued a strong plea for a seas far 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 the how mas leave the sheep to reach no, in the agreements. without that, i fear the water with all its consequences most you've got some the across the region. woodson exponentially dw correspond to rebecca renters in jerusalem. i

asked her about israels plans to open another border crossing that will allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. to 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 and 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 in traditionally a goods crossing, it was for people to cross in and out of gaza, particularly palestinians coming to work inside israel,

but also international data trays 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 potentially increase the amount of aid that's going particularly in directly into that northern part of the strait, 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 aid 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. meanwhile, negotiations between israel and from us towards

a ceasefire on going it now, israel's prime minister says his troops will rage rough in southern gaza, regardless of whether a ceasefire deal is reached. how rebecca does prime minister netanyahu explain how he imagines a military offensive to be compatible with a cease fire? well, he hasn't given an answer to that question, terry. i mean unit and yeah, who made these comments while he was speaking to representative groups of groups that represent some of the brief families and some bereaved families of the site and soldiers. these groups that represent people who are on the move rights of sent to the move, whole kish, that has been some of the have been protesting a going into gaza. 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 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. eve, 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 it's a side deal came through the truth, would be something along the lines of 40 days. but like with the law cease fire agreement. we so israel pick out the fighting and the optimal so perhaps that's what mister benjamin that now is referring to. rebecca, thank you very much, sar correspondent, rebecca rivers in jerusalem. take a look at a few other stories making headlines today. local media in southern china say at least 19 people have been killed after part of a highway collapsed in gung, gung providence. a further 30 people were taking the hospital reports suggest some 500 members of the emergency services were dispatched to the scene. the cause of the accident is being investigated. celebrated us author paul auster has died. the
