1:04 am
we're displaced people. we less than we didn't have anything to support our families with a whole. i have a family of age and i'm unable to buy them food and also some i really need this place of food. i thank them so much for providing us with food. i hope to continue with this work because their situation is very difficult. above the level of them apply the key to get done. the charity says it has hundreds of trucks carrying enough food for 8000000 meals, ready to enter this pip through the rough uh crossing in the south to add to the age now beginning to flow into northern garza to the address crossing dozens of staff and students of new york university's columbia are new york's columbia university rather have been purchasing outside the faculty buildings a day after police burst into the campus and cleared a pro palestinian demonstration. students had occupied the areas of the campus since mid april, to dig,
1:05 am
stand against israel's actions in gaza and to call on columbia to financially the best for me is real. now new york's mirror, eric adams, said, police arrested 282 people at the columbia and city college of new york. after the rate of the campuses. similar protests have been taking place and several universities across the united states. several have led the confrontations with authorities. we're now joined by dw correspondent benjamin alvarez gruber in new york, where he's standing buying your columbia university. so benjamin, if you could bring us up to speed, what's the situation there like now? the situation at columbia university is now called, but still a, the access to the columbia campus that you can see here behind us is a quite restricted, only essential stuff. and the students living inside currently have access. and it's very hard also for the media coverage because media has not been allowed to enter to see how they hold it was occupied by the students and was then overtaken
1:06 am
again and by police is looking right now. we're also waiting for answers from the office of the president of columbia university, about the visitation is a really dynamic that could indeed be changes because as also what we see in another university in a new york right now with that being arrest carried out. but for now, the situation here in columbia is quite peaceful, right. but as you were saying, there is a dynamic situation throughout the united states. we are ceiling tension spiel. spill over at similar universities. are we going to see more crackdowns, like we saw at columbia at other american universities? so that's very possible because we all to see new incumbents and we see police going in. those are the pictures they were getting from the university of texas in dallas was state troopers have ended in the area are carrying out arrest, also taking tens with them. there's another university here in new york where we seeing that right now. we've heard of these, it attack on a students that were in the encampment in
1:07 am
a university in los angeles. so there's also a feeling that that might happen again overnight. so this is definitely something that we'll see over the next couple of days is we're still waiting for more information from the new york police department over this very heavy police presence that we've seen over this day. and also the rates that they carried out expelling the students that it where inside of their hamilton a whole here right behind me. and we do know that almost 300 people were arrested during that police action. do we know anything more about their fate and what police may charge them with the we still want to have more information on that because the new york police department has not yet said how many of those people who were arrested move in henry to columbia university in total, $280.00 people that were arrested over now we don't know how many a members of the community and that's of course something and many are asking themselves as the mayor of new york is, spoke about,
1:08 am
i outside agitators and we want to know exactly how many of those are actually part of the university community? how many are outsiders and also the new york police department, they show a chain during a press conference saying that it shows how professional they are. but it turned out to be at the bike log that actually was on say, and it was promoted by the university itself for the students. so there's a lot of information selecting. and of course, a restriction of media access make it very difficult to confirm the information that we're hearing from inside that was dw correspondent benjamin alvarez. group is reporting for us in new york. many things here's a quick look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. and then having district attorney's office as former hollywood producer harvey vine design will be retired retried rather in new york. after his 2020 right conviction was overturned last week. weinstein appeared for a judge in new york city. he had been serving
1:09 am
a 23 or sentence there. more than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct. the british government says it has collected the 1st group of asylum seekers for deportation under the so called for one to act. the home office posted a video of a read at an undisclosed location. human rights groups have criticize the new lawn, which allows the deportation of unauthorized migrants. tens of thousands of people have where i live across france. as part of global protest mark made a police use to your guns to disperse demonstrators and paras. rallies were organized by labor unions with demands including higher wages and peace in the middle east. lawmakers in georgia, i have approved a 2nd reading of a controversial for an agents lock. it requires media and civil groups that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as being under for an influence. protesters are currently facing off against police outside parliament,
1:10 am
the capital tbilisi. they say the bill would restrict basic freedoms and it's similar to a lot of being used to silence government. critics and russia. watch protests against the legislation have become regular occurrence in georgia. it's cross over now to william courtney in washington. he's an advent senior fellow at the ran the think tank and also served as you would in us and bassett, or to georgia. so mr. courtney do think that these protesters have a chance of moving the government to reject this bill. it is probably too late to reject the bill because the government is planning to do a 3rd and final re reading very soon. but the purchase may have a wider effect in georgia. clearly about the vast number of georgians want to go west. they want to go into your account. my thought is hijacking is power and trying to, to georgia closer to russia, the store and asians law,
1:11 am
which has been one of the most powerful tools of refreshing what you know, who could be used by the government to do the same thing of georgia. that's stuff very far back and of course, this is not the 1st time george's ruling party has introduced this bill. why are they pushing it again this year? who has already been defeated once is consistent with the direction that the georgia leadership wants to take the government. and they need to find a way in their consumption to repress a civil society. organizations that have 4 ties that almost all civil society organizations in georgia have for our ties of one sort or another. so the government sees this, it was a central to turn in the government into a more of storage area in region. but we do have a rather unique situation where georgia in presidents are but it is already which really has,
1:12 am
has been highly critical to bill involved to detroit if it passes. so does that mean that the moving party can still box it through, even if she does put in her veto as well, right? yes, the parliamentary speaker with enough thoughts could override for a retail. so she is doing the right thing, but she doesn't have enough power to, to stop over go towards folks. that's what we're seeing now in georgia is a 2nd. what is called color revolution. the ukraine had to color revolutions, orange revolution in 2005, and then the my dog revolution in 2014 for these companies coming to our company or so maybe it takes a couple of popular revolutions in order to and these are peaceful resolutions to change politics towards it looks like it's the same situation now. you had have one over a decade ago now. looks like it could be on the, the cost of another revolution. but my, of my georgia a different kind of a government. well,
1:13 am
that's something that the chief herself on your line would definitely agree with. she condemned police violence and said that georgia is that across roads. now, would you agree with that? and if so, do you see any indication of which side is actually going to in a she is absolutely correct. it's too hard to tell. typically in popular revolutions, some part of the security apparatus has to lose trace in the existing rule and go over to the other side, the side of the popular demonstrators that hasn't happened yet in georgia, but that has been something has happened and some of the other color of oceans. oh, so we don't yet see this happening, but it can happen anytime we just can't predict. right, that was wayne courtney, washington speaking to us. thank you very much for your analysis. you're welcome. and finally, the world of literature is plain tribute to the us author of paul auster who has
1:14 am
