rails war in gaza and pro israel count of protest back in the sixty's we were told that the demonstrations against the vietnam war and basically just this, with the work of radical left advertises. so do these comparisons stand up and what is it about this conflict with as little as such a fire under these young people? i'm feel go invalid and this is the day the they were coming up here and finally attacking the honestly something that i kind of annoyed the thought. all these people

were not either, not really fast. the doctor also coming up tough, new abortion laws come into effect in the us state of florida. today, president biden and his democrats are hoping the issue will drive vote to turn out to invest favor in november's election. these laws are so extreme that i think it will push people to the polls and will push people to you know, vote and vote for choice and vote for abortion, rights and bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. welcome to the de attends and on us universe to campuses is rising after police arrested hundreds of pro palestinian student demonstrates as students at thousands of colleges in the us have been demonstrating against the war in gaza. i think

calling on administrators to divest from companies this allegedly profit from israel is war against thomas. it was violence overnight. the university of california in los angeles were pro israel, demonstrates has attacked comp setup by pro palestinian students. they attempted to pull the battery cage protective account and there was scuffled between the 2 sides, police and lights that moved into a separate the 2 groups and to stop the rest university council, the classes on wednesday because of the vitamins, new york city police clear then occupied building of the rest of the 300 pro palestinian protests on the campus of columbia university of an ice. bringing a day long stand off to a dramatic and fellow demonstrates as have not taken their protests to outside. new york police headquarters maybe criticize the way office. a br office has broke up. what they said was a peaceful protest. a thing police were rough with demons. traces you met eric

adams has defended the decisions saying the protest was escalated by outside figures not affiliated with the university. individuals on the campus should not have been there. there were people who are professionals and we saw evidence of training. we saw a shift in tactics that were being used. and when you start using the intelligence that intel was able to supply, we knew was time to communicate directly with the school and say you have more than a peaceful protest on your have a certain i correspondence at benjamin alvaro screw, but who's in new york city near columbia university. welcome, ben. so what's the latest on this set day after police, right? a dollar, a group of protests is earlier today in front of this entrance that it's quite close to the whole and it was occupied by the students and were n y, p d, new york. a police entered with a lot of law enforcement offices a late evening

a yesterday. now the situation is called the big question. of course, of course will be what will happen with the students more than $100.00 students were arrested. they were at columbia university and also another university here in new york, bringing the number of the rest to 280 to the big question will be now if that will face expansion as the university has sat and we'll, we'll continue to happen. we only got one e mail from a, the presidency of columbia university today saying that there's no media access to campus that has made it quite a difficult also to do a this coverage. and they also said that hamilton whole that he has the right behind me is an active trying team by n y p b. so we're still waiting for confirmation on that side. and who is the new york mass? eric adams talking about why and he blamed external actors and professionals for the escalation on the columbia campus. that's a good question that many also students here are asking themselves because n y, p

d has not released the information of how many of those who were arrested are part of the university community and how many are not part of the university a community. and also what they said that had a chain during a press conference saying that it shows how professional these products um, but at the end it turned out that it was just a bike lock that was used. and there was also promoted by university that many students have here. so there is a lack of information theory, even though student journalist weapon covering this over the past couple of days. and this has been unfolding, have not been granted access only yesterday. essential stuff. and those who are living inside of campus have been able to enter in the only response that we a god. also to ask if we will get an official statement of who would be able to talk to a spoke to a person of the university was not today so we will try again tomorrow. okay, thanks a lot. ben dw corresponded to benjamin about his group at a new york city as well. let's take a look at the potential national significance of these protests. we're joined by

david father, who's a professor of the bottom us history of the university if got campus. thank you. so much for joining us on the day professor. let's start with the comparisons being made between these protests and those against the vietnam war back in the sixty's. i think those comparisons are valid well, there's certainly a degree of similarity. uh they have all over again. i think there's one major difference that i've been really struck by. you can think about the anti war protests in the 19 sixty's as being environmental went on for several years, started very peacefully, non violently. and then over several years time escalated to more militancy. these protests have happened so fast and such as compressed matter that move from the kind of peaceful protest of some very militant actions in days, not years. so in that sense, i don't know if it's social media or just the rapidity of modern life. but there's

a kind of urgency and quickness to these protests that's quite different than the long environmental protests of students in the 1960s. and what do you think at today's students, universities that indeed the federal government might loan from those sixty's protest? yeah, that's a question that i've been thinking a lot about and, and been talking to a lot of people about what one thing that's pretty obvious is that if you as a university administrator, move very quickly to bring police or even worst case to bring violent police actions against demonstrators you tend to make a difficult situation worse. so administrators have to be very cautious about escalating matters because often there's a backlash. students who are not interested or just interested, suddenly become angry that their fellow students, their peers,

are being treated in such a harsh way. so that's the lesson for administrators. be careful. be cautious. don't do things. you don't have to do for fear that you might escalate things worse for students. i think the other issue has to be very mindful of what's their goals . i think this happened with the answer weren't protest, certainly in the united states, in the 1960 and early seventy's, where students sometimes forgot that the point of the exercise was to convince others that us policy was wrong. that there had to be changes and how the united states handle its international responsibilities. here too. i sometimes worry that students in their passions are for getting their goal, which i gather would be to get their universities to divest from supporting israel in any manner whatsoever. and perhaps even more importantly, to change the opinions of americans and certainly american policy makers. so because we consider it what your tactics are and what your long term goals are looking, i was looking at a map of the campus protests today. and they,

they do seem to have very much bypass much of the middle of the country, including your own state of, of kansas. why do you think that is, i, i, i think there's a couple fascinating reasons for it. one good typically, and maybe this is true in germany and other countries with disparate populations, the coast tend to have more liberal orientations. more progressives live in those states. those are the kids parents or the students themselves. so blue states, we call them us democratic cleaning, progressive states, california, new york, massachusetts, etc. of washington state. portland, oregon. maybe those are the natural 1st responders to this kind of trouble. just before this interview i went outside and saw that my own campus for the 1st time as a mass protest. and there's a kind of encampment growing. so it's, it's, yeah, several days later here in the state of kansas, a internationally conservative state. but keep here too,

it's happening. so we'll see whether this spreads or if the commitments that begin may 10th or 15th or so in most us universities tends to dissipate students and the energy of these protests. so what do you say about this issue? do you think israel gauze of it seems to lift a fire and the students didn't do you recall? similar a process, for instance, about the, the to gulf was or certainly not in the do, remember that there were eventually very large mass protests against us intervention in particular interact a millions of people, both in europe and united states that due to the straits. but those were not campus based, they were not university based protests here, i think students are trying to understand as those 2 way back in the vietnam war era or their own communities or their own universities complicit in what many of the student protests are c, as

a deal advised or immoral even policy toward israel and palestine. so here in this particular struggle, there's a campus based reasoning going on. and i don't think that was true with the gulf wars per site or, or some of the other perhaps misadventures of us foreign policy reason. here's a you, you mentioned the the can needed when thinking about as advising police on to campus . back in 1968, the columbia president grayson cook actually resigned a year after calling in to 1000 police officers to grow student protests against the vietnam war. amongst other things, do you think that the current columbia president administrative fee will end up stepping down? right now i would say no. so the scale of the products, as despite the international media attention to it is relatively scott small scale . and i don't think that the political environment is similar today. obviously,

most americans still very much support israel. they support the united states is position supporting israel. so i don't think the presidents of it lead universities are fearing progressive impulses that would cause them to resign. it seems politically of the other direction. we recently have the presence of harvard and humorously pennsylvania resigned because of conservative pressure against them. so i think the political concepts are quite different in the united states today. we're in a more conservative place maybe than we were and 1968 fascinating analysis and we thank you for it, professor professor david the father from a kansas university. thank unfortunately these laws are being written by people who don't really understand a full care. and so they are affecting a larger slots of the population and what they're meant to be affecting. so we're

seeing patients who have highly desire pregnancies that are incompatible with life that are unable to access the care they need. this isn't really going to just proportionately affect both color people last us like so. second nomics that it was the women's reproductive health specialist in florida. speaking ahead of a strict new abortion though, championed by conservative governors on desantis, which came into effect today. the most populous states in the us is not prohibiting a portion of to just 6 weeks. the time when most women wouldn't even though they were pregnant, they replaced as far as the previous 15 weeks back, which had made one of the last states in the southern us. the still allowed procedure such a light stage. stokes or this with dw as washington bureau chief in this poll. welcome a this and tell us more about what today's changes were made and why though we felt well be well beyond me to florida. so this will have

a significant impact on women seeking abortions. as many may not even have realized that they are pregnant at this early stage. you know, ever since a nation wide protection of abortion rights was overtones in 2022 from the u. s. supreme court, florida also as being a t x as point of for abortions in the whole region with warner in 3 southern abortions and one and 12 nationwide happening in the states as women from other southern states travel fair for the procedure. so this law was not only affect residents of laurie, but, but also women throughout the whole south. of course, a huge be contentious political issue and republican, the presidential candidates and the full, the president goes, donald trump. i laid out his position on abortion last month, essentially saying the issue should be left to the states who was asked more

recently whether he was comfortable with the idea of states tracking and punishing women who seek a bush and this. and i'm just speaking to time magazine, he said it's irrelevant whether uncomfortable not. it's totally irrelevant because the states are going to make those decisions. so in his poll, how does mister trump's position squared with american public opinion? so that's a difficult question to answer because public opinion is really divided on this issue was there is indeed a widespread opposition to the supreme court ruling that limited a nation wide protection of abortion rights, opinions on federal action to protect the board. and it says, really where we throughout this huge country with these many very diverse states. so roughly half of us adults believe federal politicians should work to enshrine abortion to excess nationally a 3rd to 7 or so percent think it should be less to states just exactly what donald

trump was saying there. i mean, well, president, by and i piece democrats a hoping base, the issue, the abortion issue will boost to not doing what's expected to be a close election. come november. how important is this folder a you know, big problem for both the current president and the former president is to really money rating of voters to participate in the elections in november as neither of them has been able to energize the voter base at least as for now, so that is one reason why the abortion issue is so important for president biden, and why he and also his vice president, camelot harris are come painting so much on that. they hold that it will drive board to turn out in the upcoming election. and they also believe that the reproductive rights issue,

along with the constitutional amendment on the ballot to clarify abortion protections in florida, will make the stage more competitive, especially since it was one by trump, in both 201682020. so the sunshine state florida could actually once again play a corporate role in deciding the outcome of the next presidential election. and it is actually really possible that this abortion band we are talking about here tonight might ultimately help secure the vital us for job items. okay, thanks for that. uh industry that boost washington bureau chief. it is paul academy. what authorized to say at least 169 people have been killed more than a 190000 displaced by catastrophic flooding. that's the rental ryans that hit the country this year have been called the most intense in recent memory, the deputies,

phoenix, spring. i spoke to some people who been forced to leave their homes and many still don't know what has happened to them afterwards. shut had was what as raging efforts to find the remaining forties as the loan going a shelter load of sided less on the victims faces many trying to come to terms with the tragedy that has heat samples. julie's family easy morning date on the 4th for their lives. and 6 of i buy that 3 year old toddler was credited over here 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 that have 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 wolf? since we're coming towards us, is colorado. 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. i mean, not even letting me sound. a lot of things have been destroyed in my business, and not that i was storing some items for drivers at all. got carried away. um,

why do you need the fletch broken through one side of the building up on the it came out the other and then the karen 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 under control. and therefore, the such and retrieval efforts are still going on. nobody knows how much time it to the safe to clear the debris family members. i'm hoping they can get to locate their loved ones and have a chance to evaluate them. can use president william to, to visit to the areas, give a stated by the flags. the problem is 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 lunch 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 really and therefore we must take pre emptive auction. the president also asked about people's remain hopefully, even in the middle of the crisis once that's possible. and it's julie hope things to that thoughtful, finding me think maybe 20 years ago. it's a day 10 central. i'm east european countries joined the european union. one of those countries was poland to mount vacationing polish, and german foreign ministers of that match to be created, photographed, that was taken in 2004. the picture shows how big of a boat, a bridge between germany in poland, 5 previous s as a form of foreign ministers of the 2 countries. the enlargement, i should in changes for the members, including the dropping of customs controls on goods. the definitely business report, a cob hot and bro looks at one company that's made

a success out of the expansion that we're heading to an e. u family get together about the europe express number for the trained deposits from the german town of to tell, passing through poland and the czech republic have to so called tri, bought a point where the 3 e u countries meet. 20 years ago, 10 countries joining the you and of course those came to celebrate it looks going to exist 3 items. i'm glad the you exist and then we can cross the border without your problems. i worked in germany, our family lives in the czech republic. i'm so child goes to school in germany here to trip announced what it will be as a permission to tell me the us and really experience our daughters learning check gets to know another culture. and we have discovering what's together with her, which i find very exciting. spun business, also received a boost from the use east and expansion. companies like hood us and northern

germany. the family business produces metal pots for the aircraft and car industries. company, boss, kapco does worked with trek from mesa to create a joint venture them more than 20 years ago. this was the everything the you has brought is an advantage. many borders that have disappeared. all the customs regulations that have disappeared. people can travel. our apprentices often do internships abroad in the u gene research every way we benefit from each other. without the you from my point of view, nothing would work any more. the german company prides itself on custom manufacturing, marketing and research. here, for example, in a software is being developed in collaboration with the university, which will be put to work at the company's check factory. there's a constant exchange of technical know how and the employees between the sites engineer last short says already worked at the check site,

are designed to these options. as a developer, they were already very up to speed. you can communicate with them directly on a technical level that fits very well. we're at the factory in the czech republic, southeast of prague. he a large quantities of manufactured for the automotive industry throughout the u. the advantage low energy costs and still lower wages than in germany. the division of labor between the sites makes the operation internationally competitive. the plot manager has been here from the start. the business has always been on the economic lead. thanks in part to you membership for him, the crowning achievement would be to replace the check crown with the euro. i suppose the government are those, and i would personally like to see the euro. it would be a big advantage for the company, because then we wouldn't have to always convert currencies, exchange rates or big risk. so many entrepreneurs hope for better market access with the euro mazda population still to use the

e. u. currency with skepticism and equalization, of living conditions between the east and the west has not yet fully been achieved . but the ones pulled neighbors from the east to quickly catching up. and that is today more of course uh on social media at dw news and slice just headlines you're looking for. there's always that d, w dot com or the date of the up until the day tomorrow have a good day. and a good by the
