the, the business, the, the news line from ballot israel reopened to a vital lifeline for the people of gaza. that didn't need it assuming that terry and asia is once again flowing into gaza through the air is crossing which has been closed since the october 7th. so time and this comes as you a secretary of state anthony, blinking, oldest prices, thoughts with israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu in service of lincoln, uh, just the minutes improved from us to accept the cx, 5 for photo in exchange for the release of the hostage in new york city police clear stewart in protest is from columbia university offices and to through

the windows of a fabricated building to arrest pro palestinians and straight off the flash floods devastated large areas of candy. i'm dw news, we'd survive as many without any news of their loved ones. the gulf is welcome to the program. israel has reopened the heiress border crossing into northern gauze. it has previously been closed since the staff of the war with how mos following the october 7th turbo tax is, is the only crossing on the strips northern edge agencies have been calling for its reopening for months to supply, desperately needed food and medicine to hundreds of thousands of civilians ad risk

simon the. the reopening also comes in response to us the amounts to do more to address these humanitarian crisis. in his way, the spokesman said that is well hopes to keep the arrows crossing open. this is the 1st day reopened. as crossing for a robust and continuous route, for instance, a few minutes here in a into gaza. as you can see behind me those of the cursed trucks that came yesterday from joe dunn. and we're gonna run this crossing hopefully every day from all that development. let's bring in dw correspondent time the excitement neutrons is from the jerusalem toner israel. it has been saying for weeks that it will open the arrows crossing to allow agents and old and gaza. i finally making good on that promise. and if so, how much relief will it bring to people in gaza as well?

this is still something to see how much impact it actually has for the people in northern garza, particularly in a garza city and the area that i mean, as you said, this has been the main demand by 8 organizations also by many countries of, with been pressuring a israel that the, that it needs to do more to allow it in particularly into a new was and also where age organizations had the difficulties to reach people. there is by the lack of coordination with the it's really military, as some organizations have said or but she reasons for its safety as it's also a long way from the south to the north. and of course the war is ongoing. so we've been invited to the closing today, we could see the um, because this crossing used to be actually a crossing where many people would cross uh, on foot. uh, it was mainly know for,

for you many turn workers for diplomats, the, during this going and also a limited number of college students or had a permit to across from this areas crossing. but now there's also a part where these trucks can pause. that has been prepared me so those are about 30 trucks. with a being prepared, there will then be a the h will be then uploaded on other trucks and then brought into goals. and of course, the main question there remains, how it will be distributed, how the safety is for the many term workers, but also for the people to come and get the aid and the commercial goods. we should not forget all the for 10. of course. there's also broken down and goes, uh, and the price is extremely high for everything. and uh, of course, uh 8 organizations have said, you know, the best would be a see as far as that people can reach. uh, uh, you know, can get to the age. uh,

but for now that has been this into the international sure to open more crossings and as well as done that now with the arrows crossing, but we have to wait and see how much data is actually going in through this crossing. now us search just at the end of the blink and as health crisis starts with, as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu and jerusalem and blinking accuse thomas of standing in the way of a seas. 5 men to us, the group to accept the truce in exchange for the release of hostages. and they also present as in jo to increase a deliveries to gauze on and repeat that the us concerns over a potential ground invasion of a southern city of rough tonia. where do things stand now and those sees find a goal? she ations slow. he's been here for days now that is well and then they go see it is are actually waiting for an official response a by how much that should come any time soon and be heard it also as he said from

the secretary of state. and he blinked and that he was pushing again for an immediate cease for that includes a hostage deal. so this is a very important a notice for the americans. but also of course, in israel for the relatives and the families of those hostages that remain in gauze . and there has been a lot of top in the past days a. it's also been leaks know of how such a hosted sheep could look like. so for example, it was said that there could be in the 1st space over 30 hostages, that could be released. there was another leak saying it would be only the same as hostages in exchange for publishing and prism. this housing is really of prisons and of course for a certain period of a sci fi. now we understand from egyptian sources that have said that, um how most of us for more clarifications, specifically when it comes to um their demands that people that are displaced to

the south, that residents from the north can go back a unconditionally. and also when it comes to the withdrawal of is rarely for says from a 1000. so these are very crucial days. and of course everybody's waiting now to hear from us b, w correspondent, on exam of the reporting from jerusalem. thank you. tonya robbins has broken out on campus at the university of california los angeles, where counts of protesters of attack demonstrate to supporting palestinians. right came at the request of the university president off the students defied an ultimatum to back down. this is the moment for his officers inside go reached the columbia university's hamilton hole, because it says it had no choice but to authorize the read to restore safety. an

auto pro palestinian students had taken over the building for more than 24 hours. ted body getting themselves inside and hung by the renaming the building, hands holding up for a 6 year old by letting them go. gillian, gaza, dozens of those board as those i'd be interested yet they remain defiant. all the quoted amount of these do do groups the columbia would draw investment funds from companies supporting israel as government and i'm this people, students and faculty discipline over the broadest high major 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 idea that

jewish people can not be pro palestine. i. i think the design isn't like insights on anti zionism and anti semitism are not the same thing and human life deserves to be protected. the board is alta piece expansion for vandalism and broken access to the building. these big just released by the university sports person, showed damage to the occupied building. the, the police action of columbia comes exactly 56 years of our officers slept into the hamilton hollow to arrest both test as occupying the building in 1968 by then they

had taken over the whole and other campus buildings to protest racism and the vietnam or columbia university has requested police presence under may 17 that's duties of the university's graduation ceremony. the student groups vowed to continue the process despite the crackdown robert cohen is a professor of social science education as new york university. and he told us what spock these protests and why that became so big on us campuses. a concern about the escalation of the war and gaza and the use of american military aid for this. as for the war and the depths of civilians, i think, particularly with social media, students have found out about this very quickly. and they're very concerned about the use of american military, a support for bombing and killing of civilians. it's, you know, there's images of children that are dying, and i think that's the main reason why this, this burst out. and then the administration's response was initially to non violent

protests, you know, clamping down and, and getting pressure from congress and donors on the ministrations of colleges to shut these down. that's like the initial columbia arrest the for the building occupation that, that was a really help to publicize this and to bring the city further, the mention of students across the country. and this has been spreading across the country like wildfire. now that all was, and injustices and civilian casualties and several places around the world. some of these was being a fault with us and other western weapons. and some of them a long lost and why is it that the current conflict in gaza and spies such outrage among us students? well, i think it's because of the, you know, the fact that so many civilians have been dying and it's very been very much out there on and the news media and, and social media. i think that feeling of and by the way, also remember there was a sort of a smaller pro palestinian cell every move that the sense for just the palestine has

been on college campus since since the 19 ninety's. it didn't really get much traction beyond a small group. what really, i'm really you have had to explode. was this more and, and the civilian deaths in a way you could say and apparel away the sixty's where, you know bull connor the races police here when he, when he attacked the m. okay. in the, the end to where they, if they raise it, protest in birmingham, you know, with police dogs and fire hoses. i could nothing yahoo is kind of that kind of figure in terms of people's public perception. and i think that the best organizer that these to. ready test it pad is benjamin netanyahu inadvertently. so, but that's not a list. now that also happen. i have to submit to the tones and expressions of solidarity with extra mist organizations. should that be boring? oh yeah, i think it's wearing and i think people who engage in such a bigoted behaviors should be held accountable. but there has been a kind of a attempt us to smear the entire movement. that is to say that all these protest or

are hateful and things i submit again, and that's just not true. i mean here, then while you are, the protesters were arrested non for non bentley occupying a plaza in front of the of the business school. i had just had their passover seder when the rest were happening. so to say that there, you know, anti semitic, and yet they have jewish student activism. they can't hear, they're having a say there is a bit, you know, it's, it's just doesn't add up. and that's not to deny that there has been a problem that they semitism, but i think that's more of a kind of fringe piece of this that you know, needs. and again, any of those ask and slurs as land, there isn't, certainly physical assaults, of people should be held accountable. and, and, you know, with the process of, punish difficulty of that. but i think the attempt to people in congress and the donors to say these protests don't have to be either non violent, the non disruptive have to be suppressed. that's a kind of authoritarian response. and i think using the have a semitism issue in a way that's, that's really not accurate. and that's just way of sort of

a suppressing something that we don't like and on the university campus. where are you supposed to have the free exchange of ideas? that's a really bad model and wouldn't turn that's happened is you know, if the speaker of the house and of you, your call is when to come with the columbia university, with a delegation of congressman sent congress. but the commercial representative saying, the president, the columbia should resign, is as if she had been tough enough. and, and so they didn't even though they rested over a 100 demonstrators. and so what you get here is a, a cycle of escalation. and that's how you got what i think was a really unwise and really trying to take over the ministration, building of damage university property that wasn't happening initially. and i think the other thing i want to say, universities, one of the problems is they're not different democratically we may not, the university may not and probably won't want to disaster holdings the connections, israel. but you should have a democratic process. where do you think even the one private university students are not on the board of trustees, they get to make their case. they get to be heard even at the trustees or can say

no, they're at least get a here and a brown university. that method was used and the protest ended, in other words, the university and say, what's the best they just said, ok, you know, do a presentation of it will listen to you and will decide. so there is a way to de escalate this. and unfortunately, that didn't happen to columbia because i think a very inexperience president who didn't really know how to handle this protest, rather calling that professor social studies education at n y, u and new york. thank you very much. you're welcome. let's have a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines. authorities in turkey detained their own search. he made a protest as demonstrating in his done bold. they tried to reach the city's tucks in square. the plaza is off limits to protest as often incidents in 1977, which so government opened fire and that cost stampede that killed at least $34.00 people at least $24.00 people have been killed off the part of

a highway collapsed in china as long don't province, a for the 30 people who've taken to hospital before it suggests some 500, a 100 members of the emergency services were dispatched to the scene. the cause of the accident is being investigated. bundle dish has seen the hottest april on record with temperatures between 2 and 8 degrees higher than average. for this time of year. the weather force the government to shut down schools which kept some 32000000 students at home or the celebrated us rides. have paul also has died the also of the acclaimed new york trilogy, which put a philosophical twist on the detective. genre was 77. along with 34 books. also also wrote the screenplay for the film smoke, and enjoyed huge popularity in europe. to canyon malware,

thirty's say at least 169 people have been killed and more than 190000 displaced by catastrophic flooding. the torrential rains that hit the country this year and i've been cold the most intense in recent memory. the w's fillings, maureen just spoke to some people who were forced to leave the homes. many don't know what's happened to their loved ones. shot had was what as raging efforts to find the remaining forty's as the loan going a shelter load of sadness on the victims faces many trying to come to terms with that tragedy that has heat samples. julie's family, easy morning date was the 4th for their lives. and 6, divide by that 3 year old toddler was credited every year by the flags to what i searched for him every week, but couldn't find him. if i don't find my baby while he's still alive, i don't know without ever forgive myself. i'm just praying that god drives me more

days to stay with my baby because when i remember the struggles we've had in the damage that has taken place in the floods, i'm wondering where the god saved his life or what happened to him like julie is doubtful of that i finally found shelter to stay in for the night. away from the place we have that we should begin. she and her husband, how fond memories of that 3 year old son isaac commodities bought the day on the evening before he was credited every by the flats, unequal on the she was celebrating his food this day on sunday evening at 10 o'clock and he ate the whole dis, they shake alone and he was going to sleep, but i'll take you to check. i asked him whether you wanted some tea and he said he just wanted to sleep. so i told him, happy birthday. so i hugged and kissed him and he went to bed. i didn't know that anything was happening, was it? the waters were coming towards us. now cut out on

julie is not alone. can you n g last these business to the flags. his machinery made useless. his collar should be covered in mud and direct to imagine what it means. a lot of things have been destroyed in my business, and not that i was storing some items for drivers. it all got carried away. i might be the fletch broken through one side of the building up on the came out, the other hand carried away. everything that i had in there was one of my employees almost got swept away. but the security guard was able to save him from being taken by the floods. i get good locals and therefore the such injured shameful efforts are still going on. nobody knows how much time it will take to clear the debris. family members are hoping they can get to locate their loved ones and have a chance to buy them. can use president william to, to visit to the areas, give affected by the flags. you promised the government will attribute homes. we settled the homeless and get that children back into school, but he came to the wanting to people living in areas by that ability flooding them

up. being that has been done on all front dining areas that are prone to run slides and a and flooding. we are asking every can in such areas to leave because the forecast is that green is going to continue and the likelihood of flooding and people losing lives is read. and therefore we must take pre emptive action. the president also asked about people's remain hopeful, even in the middle of the crisis once that's possible. and it's julie hope things to that thought of finding missing baby w correspondent, physical regal file test report from kenya. and he has visited the effective communities in the area. he told us how people are dealing with the current situation. so that people, i feel sad at what has transpired community members have joined the ken, the red cross,

the military and i the rescue organizations in the search and retrieval for their bodies. victims are receiving psycho social supports out of kinda red cross tens of pastors into other religious lead does from the area have come to encourage and play with the victims. we have also seen community members coming in with food and lots of donation. and the most shocking thing has been that the kids who are roaming around the shelter, not even know the magnitude of what could have just the sheets. the whole leading to that, that's now is we've seen any revolt getting as president has asked people to leave the vulnerable areas at all by getting the help of from the government in the evaluation process that they need. so the president give a 48 hour to me, tell me that expires in the next 24 hours after that police in our community walk as will be helping people move to higher grounds by the president also promised

that they will buy land and help resettle these people who will be moved from that areas we to flood prone so that they can avoid or of that size crisis in the future . now when the world has received, will people be able to rebuild their lives on the, on their own. it is very hard to status of these particular points because majority of the people that we spoke to, i saying that they were caught off guard and most of them left home without clothes . some of them having bought clothes on that is the extent of the losses that they have experience so it will take our total on them. but the president yesterday said that the government ok now once these for the sliding situation is done, will help i own sheets will have to buy land energy central some of these people and help them rebuilds to where they live before the flooding sheets, the out homes and the community the w correspondent, felix and maureen, go there,

every 14, thank you very much for this and the more you cry, no one knows exactly how many soldiers have been killed since russell launched its full scale invasion 2 years ago. the cause of advanced and retreats bodies of soldiers from both sides, often left behind. the w, corresponded young philip shirts, went to see how military search teams find and identify the dead, so that the families can bury them. some of you is may find the content of this next report, disturbing. watch out explosion. loading media and his team has come here close to the front line to find the bodies of soldiers. their work at a new search site usually begins like this. clearing the area of explosives, some of them booby traps. yeah, and those are these, the russians usually leave surprises everywhere. they can even be under the bodies

. it's generally accepted that hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died in this war. already. many of their bodies still live here in the rural areas of eastern ukraine. it doesn't take long before have loaded mirrors, team find something. who is most of the young's gleeful head and chickens ducks, cows, and pigs on their farms. when they had to free, they couldn't take them with them and the binding the animals. my experience tells me these are not human bones for people scully. a little further south, another team lays out what they brought back from a search operation. they found 10 corpses in a forest, much of it was too disturbing to show here. sometimes the soldiers carried vital clues with them. put motor to live. we have a notebook with some phone numbers here. this is probably his daughter is contact

with this information, so it should be easy to establish the identity also. but even the smallest physical remains can be enough to identify ukrainian soldiers. there's an extensive d, n, a database local dealer for online because we found tiny pieces of fingers on teeth and fragments of all kinds of bones and the faces of animals. if there's any chance to identify a person that we don't shy away from anything, it's important that everyone is brought back to their families. so the them alexi says they can tell what side soldiers were on from identifying features like tattoos or boots. these today are probably russians of provide which they kill us, but we remain human because every person should be buried with dignity. back with

a lot of mirrors, team, many hours of searching have paid off. they found the remains of several soldiers based on the location. florida near concludes that these are also russian bodies. he says they might be able to exchange them for the bodies of ukrainian soldiers found an occupied territory to the bottom. you can just look into them in a bag and store them later, special offices will come and use them in exchange processes. volunteers here know there works gifts, grieving families the chance to bury their dead. it also gives them something for the future. having an official declaration of death makes it easier for relatives to claim financial support. a message from many avenues, the mess and all my colleagues so they will have, it will do is update for you at the top of the hour. and also there's
