is an in depth coverage. how is any of this except it isn't that acceptable? i'll just say it was teens across the world. when you closer to the heart of the story of the . ready ready diversity suits across the us have been arrested as the movements against the war and gaza continues to grow across the country. the other ones are enjoying this is out of their life and also coming up protests upon a sign outside the white house correspondents dinner with cold, so gentle as to break up the events which is attended by president fine. is there any bombardment across the gaza strip? as killed at least $27.00 on his commands including 10 children since nothing more

or less. drilling a hole in front of the union buildings in pretoria with the pin celebrations of south africa's 1st free and democratic election, broke nelson mandela and the african national congress to power. 30 years ago, the hundreds of university students across america had been detained so far as riley is against the war on guns that have been gathering steam spreading throughout the country. and the zip code of large scale arrest on campuses and recent days of times using chemical irritant. in some cases, to disperse students. some universities that have to cancel that graduation ceremonies while others have seen and time building is occupied by protesting students. that's what it's just over a week since students at columbia university began demanding that school divest from israel students at columbia. pop at georgetown,

mit and george washington again demanding the same protest spread from the ne, a campuses in michigan, texas. um california, we have a team of correspondents covering this story for us in the us in atlanta and washington dc. but 1st of john, henry was of a city university of new york to go after more than a week of this there's a sense of normalcy, like you would have it say, a refugee camp. if you look around of all of these tense remain. those are where people live and sleep by day. and then if you look over on the other side, behind this monument here you've got speaker, it is one after the other who come out and sort of encourage people, remind them why they're here. and the entire time they're trying to make sure the police still come in and sweep this all away and the rules are different. at each camp we went to princeton university earlier today because they tried to play by their rules. they were, they didn't put up tents, they were masks these,

they were worried about being identified. they don't want to be kicked out. and they didn't use microphones because that's against university room here, and it, most of their camps, they simply don't play by the university's rules. and that's kind of the point of an occupation. earlier, we spoke to linda as our sewer. she is a well known palestinian american speaker, and she had a lot to say about what she thought about what these students are accomplishing. here's a sample. these young people are reaffirming and demonstrating that the tide is shifting on palestine that the palestinian people have solidarity not just across the united states of america, but across the world. and these young people stand in the long tradition of student activism against the war in vietnam against south african apartheid and now for freedom and justice for the policy. so we had a 100 students interested in northeastern university at hundreds over the past week

or so. ready i was at the january 6th purchase. i didn't see anybody interested there. do you think there's a double standard here? there absolutely is double standards and american law enforcement and also with these university presidents. i mean, we are watching young people here who are engaging and safe and peaceful, protesting. they are young people that you don't even have to agree with. but they look, been american at democracy and they have every right to freedom of speech and they are being brutalized by law enforcement who could be using their time for something else. and in fact, the fact that we are suppressing young people across this country only further emboldens them and continues these types of encampments and work for just because you have any idea of why not one major university president is supporting these students and these demonstrations. unfortunately, the way the university system is set up and they are beholden to their donors instead of being loyal to their students, the students are what make these universities university. they're supposed to be a place where we have an exchange of ideas where we hear multiple perspectives and we decide where we want and what position we want to take. and the universities

have demonstrated that they have taken aside. and it is the side of genocide, the side of occupation, and these young people are rejecting that because they don't want that to reflect their values, which are equity and justice and freedom for all. so this has become the ribbon of daily life here. and they live at risk of arrest at all times about a 100 people were arrested in the, in the past 24 hours, there been over 615 people arrested over the past week or so. but when that happens, and when they clear out these camps, the students simply rebuild in the same place as they have it columbia and new york university, where they build elsewhere. as we saw earlier at princeton, i'll just say it was my kind of a is outside of students incumbent george washington university in the us campus. over the past 24 hours. the fence behind me here has been sealed. nobody is being

allowed in to the area where the tents have been pitched this in order to ensure that it doesn't get to be good, then it is. now if you look over here, this, outside this on a street running along side universe be square more 10 said being pitched up here in both areas. police say they all here to monitor. they blocked off both sides of this road, running past university square. but they insist that because the demonstration is peaceful because it has be no vitriolic language that they will just stay and monitor. they will not interfere this despite the fact that the university authorities awesome some 24 hours ago to move in the police declining to do so. and perhaps what's happening here is something that happened way back in june 2020. when dc police forcibly disperse, demonstrate is with but tons and to i guess something that was seen as very bad optics and something that the police do not want repeated. hence the stand up

attitude at the moment. the university itself, though the old thirty's here, have been threatening to suspend students. they are identifying them by the tags that students use to go into the main buildings next to the square. those are being identified as such. have being threatened with suspension, but the demonstration remains peaceful. the police remain in what is described as a watching mode, montana which is the era washington and for lavelle has this report on the protests of emory university in atlanta, georgia. so the feeling here is very much more of a festival, rather than a protest of the moment. i mean, i was just reading playing on this because there are hundreds of people here. they've all been encouraged to break blankets, make something to eat, somebody to drink very much show solidarity for the people in gaza without a turning into why you must protest in the sense of what we saw on the 1st night where the police got involved. so people are bringing blankets that they need food

and drink by putting up flags and fighters all over the quad head. which way we saw those process on 1st, like they're also being encouraged to right message of support the messages of support on the ground, which will do whatever they can just to show that the people who because i have no fee for governmental good bringing mason who's one of the organizers here, i'm make some you say all of these people here. it's a completely different atmosphere. so what we saw on thursday, right, right. yeah, um, thursday honestly was very traumatic. the police cracked down was completely violent and the inside of violence against completely people processors. so for the past 2 days we've kind of been winding down, trying to rest. we hear emery, we believe that self care is part of resistance. as one of our alumni from the come to school, if the all to ceteris is a sense, what do you think is the end goal here? like what, what does it look like ideally to you guys? yes, so the end goal is really 3 demands that we have. number one that every disclose all their financial investments. number 2 that they divest from all is really companies. and number 3 that they provide continued amazon production to all the

students that were on just the rest of that we've seen a significant lack of police here today. um, yes. could i? um, how does that come about? yes, i would say frankly that emory university has learned this lesson from thursday. there have been violent police crackdowns on completely peaceful demonstrations of students practicing their 1st amendment, the rights to speech and the right to protest. and for that reason, i think they've kind of just been keeping the police away from us. we are simply continuing to peacefully protest and demonstrate and we're not violating any policies. we're kind of just here, community building and sitting in solidarity with thoughts. fine, thanks very much. well, the university's position is, uh, is, is quite untenable. say some of the protest is not, is because the president, who was the man that settled 1st a, but the police went right to be here. but the protests were being organized by our side. influence is he is now facing calls for him to go inside a huge number of people. a lot of the faculty,

how's advice on friday during which sites? so today? well mainly from motion. i have no confidence at the moment the president is refusing to move, but of course the protest is i've got that i'm goes in mind on moving a 1000 demonstrators, ronnie that the university of texas campus in austin on friday and what followed was the arrest of dozens of people accused later released for trespassing. we spoke to one student at the college who told us why he's about to continue protesting. my name is mustafah, yas, i'm a 3rd year at u t. also last i civil engineer. my father's from sherman texas and my mother's from novice power star. i grew up in dallas tex than all life, but i've travelled to and from photo stand, lights are life. i love both places. i'm proud of where i'm from. over here, i get to choose to go to process over there every single day. you're fine for you. um human rights rights in general. the,

our main goal is the open people's eyes get the university texas to divest, stop sending light israel as divest from companies that profit off of war like raphael and lockheed martin. i do not support how much i know i'm not anti semitic. i have lots of jewish friends. yeah. i made it easy for me and my brothers . and i don't believe in the rad occasion of the jewish people, or i don't believe in terrorism or anything like that. i know are my values are on? no, my morals are. i know what i stand for the not bad is 600 degrees. that's not male. uh my 1st love my passion. when i'm on stage i feel confident, powerful. and when i'm fighting for this, what i'm letting people hear my voice when people see my face support in palestine and calling for divestment,

people are starting to see now and i'm optimistic about that. there's never been eyes on it like this before ever. mine's our life has never been people. i never cared about it this much and it's only going up from here. well, i'm gonna do it. tom is that ph. d. student at cornell university. he spoke about some of the implications of the protest and having students like him. we've had death threats. we've had people that was, were praying. so lots of july us, we just had police video and taking pictures of us last be played in the video in the most area plays on campus. but other students taking pictures of west books us many about palestinian. i'm with spring students. how out? now one can every missions will be pro palace demand, what some of the consequences that i will ask them for the semester. i might not get paid over the summer. i might have to graduate later than expected this this semester. but i'm taken and i've tried to work somewhat hard to miss everything else, may not count to my degree. and i have to repeat to that's quite

a serious thing. and they talk it to the, my understanding people who are, who cares, positions such as students on visas. and so it seems like the tactic, we decide what is the target to visible people and people and prepares positions. why? i think that's the case because people, i mean, the target is full suspensions, right? i've not done anything extraordinary than anyone else and then come with there's been people who have been me. i've been by my side, every step of the way it says and coming us, thought it and then not targeted them. meanwhile, in southern gaza, despite palestinians that comes and run a funding student in protest, as for the show of solidarity, they've been displaying messages of gratitude on the tent. they say that despite the comp downs by universities on the police, close to end, the war had been heard by the people besieged in cause i'm not have to have you had about the i'm not sure i had enough with this idea came to us of seeing what was happening in the news, especially the support from the students of the world,

particularly the students of columbia university for standing with us, with their humanity, their hearts and their compassion. and we hope the world will stand united with them. we hope for the world to support them, you know, to arrest them and imprison them for. yes, president joe biden has spoken at the annual white house correspondents dinner, but made the mention of israel's war on gauze. that's just by demonstrations outside the hotel. let's hosting the dinner denouncing the bite and administration's handling of the war. hundreds of journalists, politicians, and celebrities have gathered up a century of events. several times he sent us this report from outside the protest in washington dc. it was obviously the white house correspondent is going to like this before. protest is outside. hundreds of them, challenging the word, shame of your time. these are all dressed up in the evening finery. be those gabbert here. i tried to do this, but john lift stellar drum this to go in and break bread with joe,

but there's policies they all do have contributed to the depths of so many drug lists and goals are turning, this event should be ashamed of themselves. there's been over 200 the over 30000 palestinians, 100100140 journalists. had been targeted by the is really government murder because they're telling the truth. they're telling the truth about the fact that this really government is going to cancel an aid science and intentionally start make the people. and instead of speaking out against that and having any listing integrity, they're having dinner and laughing with bite and who's providing millions of dollars to the is really government for them to fund this genocide. and they've said nothing. and actually it's manufactured consent amongst the american public for the john to find a policy and they should be ashamed of themselves. and we're here to let them know that lined up outside the washington health and the representation level. the bloodied black jackets of the drum is killed by the israelis and yet even this is

very power. they didn't have an effect on the attendance of the us press score and sides shepherd transfer you out to 0. washington doctor, stop right here. and i'll just say right, when we come back, ukraine and russia target each of those energy facilities, rocket and trend strikes more and that's the phone counting the cost global ministry spending. as i said, all time high, one nation is racing to buy weapons. will western side issues impacts or runs ability to wage a war against israel. fuss, why it's what needs ancient to to finish is charging entry fees per day trip. this counts you the cost on out of there. it's a scolding in taiwan, but it's too dangerous for peoples of this school in hon in to return to class for pin is needed here. quick cost more than $6000000.00 toilets. and this is just one

of those are, this is public buildings damaged by an earthquake. some residential buildings are also beyond repair. this apartment building was one of the most severely damaged. it needs to be demolished before it completely collapses. despite the 7.2 magnitude string to fios quite the damage is relatively contained. so let's say that's thanks to taiwan is designed to prepare this, including its strict building. so why have american evangelicals become his real strongest factor? is us president joe find the right to stand with israel with no red line, as long as us support continues? is there anything that can stop is real, solve on concept, from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us. government takes the bottom line, the, [000:00:00;00]

the welcome back you watching out. just a real quick reminder about top stories here. this, our hundreds of university students across the united states have interest in this protest against, as well as one goal is to continue to spread across the country. thousands of students on coal negative estes to comp time with his right. president obama has spoken at the white house correspondents dinner, but maybe i mentioned that the one concept protest is outside the hotel. it's hosting a something that's announcing devices, administrations on a 2000 in palestine in john last school for a fellow journalist, a boy called the white house correspondents dinner. they say the by the administration is completed in israel system. us beginning of the palestinian generalist sense as well as on guns that began last october. these randy ministry has killed

a 142 immediate workers and journalists 40 published and then john must have been arrested by these really ministry. i'm the committee to protect journalist says the 2023 was the deadliest. yeah. for media will cause a decade. 75 percent of those kill will. why the palestinians reporting on the war on gaza while i'm at that shop, lynn is a journalist and also the signature rate of the open letter cooling on colleagues to boycott. the event piece is attending the dinner is a betrayal of journalistic ethics on a whitewash of us actions. it's been 6 months of mass murder every day. it's really at this point in my mind, unacceptable to stay silent out of fear or, you know, professional concern. while we're seeing journalists and gaza continued to be not just killed, but detain, tortured, and even their families killed. we know president biden will be speaking at the

white house correspondents dinner tonight. we know he'll likely mention threats to journalists around the world. i do wonder and i wonder if our colleagues, that you know, my former colleagues, elder 0 yourself included, will he mention israel's murder of sharina bob late and the more than 142. as you mentioned, boston in journalist and media workers who have been killed. and so you know from me, the white house correspondents dinner. maybe some of your viewers might not know. it's really an embodiment of a big problem with us media. the trading of journalistic ethics for access and to attend in my mind is to normalize, as you said, to sanitized, quoting the letter and to whitewash the administration's role. i mean, principal journal is should boycott the white house correspondents annual dinner and solidarity. you know, journalism is at its core, it's most powerful of purpose is to hold the powerful to account. it's about

a afflicting the comfortable income, comforting the afflicted. i mean, the western media has explicitly and repeatedly framed october 7th as a terrorist attack. yeah, they've portrayed the dozens and dozens of october 7th that israel has been on the scene. i've garza for more than 6 months now, killing tens of thousands of civilians. i mean the over whelming majority, we know of those killed by. ready role are children and women, so, you know, when i appear in interviews like this in the west, maybe this can also provide some explanation. i mean, i'm always expected to conduct and the killing of israel is october 7th, but western or is rarely guests are rarely, if ever asked on those same broadcast outlets in them, israel's killing of innocent civilians and dogs are so i think that tells you all you need to know, you know, thousands of anti government protest as have been gathering once again in tennessee . there's the government continues to face growing younger and discontent. demonstrations that use the government of dragging out the war levels of encoding

for any elections and for these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign . the south africa has not 30 years since it's historic 1st democratic election in 1994, which might be under the pop side. president sir, and i'm a pause that defended his governing african national congress. his record during celebrations on saturday. but opinion polls suggest support for the amc is dwindling at of next month's the general election journal home as more from petroleum it was a celebration of the events that ended upon the date of the civil war and gave birth to a new south africa, 13 years ago, president su rema pose said freedoms bills had run out to across the country. that

cost all the jo oppression. a new nation rooted in quantity. the human side is amongst the greatest c and the 2 friends of modern history. on the 27th of april 1994 millions of black south africans voted for the 1st time. the election swept nelson mandela and the african national congress to power what became known as the rainbow nation. we had just been a break freedom days and we is my d d. we invited to come into the bay as we as we are, as young as we are we. i get 10 plus south and then because i was young, i know the events of 30 years ago still viewed significance. they delivered the free and democratic society in which everyone now lives with rights, with justice,

but not necessarily opportunities for the promise of a better life. the rule remains elusive for many and what the will bank list as the most unequal country on the $1.00 and $3.00 are unemployed infrastructure is from blake crime and corruption rice in an election year with the amc losing ground to other parties. the president said he would continue to work towards the vision and i deals of 1994 south africans to put that promise many times before. jo, how elder 0 victoria the ukraine says it's shut down $21.00. the 34 missiles that launched by russia and an overnight attack, most of the strikes targeted ukraine's energy facilities and ukraine's as it targeted to or refiners in russia's crescent of our region with drones early on

saturday. that attack caused several size of the facilities. as it was drawn home and has more from the ukrainian capital, ukraine's government said the on friday night a mass me. so strike, particularly targeted the countries energy network. the company d tech said that full of bits from electricity pods had been attacked. and this has been a strategy from russia targeting ukraine's energy network, tugging the electricity in the country. there's also been around pub, ukrainian government says on a tax on its railway lines. it says that russia is trying to attack its military supplies, getting to the front. now why the focus and the increase in these attacks? now there's 2 key timeframes. the 1st is may, the 9th, that since either russia celebrates its victory over germany in world war 2, but it's become a day of military celebration in general in the country. i'm reportedly at the

government that wants to see gains before the made the noise. so we can celebrate them on that side. there's another key timeframe. and that's to do with the fact that there's been a $61000000000.00 a package approved by the united states to get towards ukraine. and so russia who's so the craning government says, wants to make as much advances, knock out as much infrastructure as it can before the weapon rate and the ad, the phone defenses in that package start to arrive in the country and it can protect the more. now on the other side, the russian defense ministry said to the intercepted $68.00 drones that with going towards the country and particularly towards the crescent adult region. the governor of crescent adult has said that they were trying to attack the oil refineries, that, that's also been a strategy for you trying to use. so as long range drones to go into russia and particularly to attack its energy network and its energy at supplies. as this will continues to on home and i would just say to keep you crime or

a national imperative morning has been declared in china and the killing of 3 police officers. the colleagues have been remembering them during the parade. in the capital. the men were attacked and killed in a calm while responding to 3 false emergency coals incident to place and the iraq of providence sweat tensions have been running high between the alternatives and local indigenous people. spring 5 minutes that federal sanchez is due to make an announcement regarding his political future. on monday, thousands of his supporters have been running in the streets with another aid in an effort to persuade him not to resign. last week he shut the country by saying he intended to go after a court opened an initial inquiry into his wife of corruption on clayton's feeling . pick frame is on the next leg of its journey following a 5000 kilometer route through greece, atlanta carrying the plane was set sail from athens, but from the 19th century, saddening, ship pulled up and it was saying across the mediterranean sea and arrive on may the 8th, and say at of

a rebate through france leading to the opening ceremony in the capital parish. well, that's it for me, diamond jordan, for now. you kind of course find more information on a website that obviously have come there. it is on your screen. the news continue on al jazeera off the account of the cost that you've done some watching the the a typical spring set up in the us and canada is to draw a goal. fair right up. the plane states which are flat and stuff, the guy until they meet the call coming down from the know, then you generate johnson's films. and in this case, they have been very big nebraska and i went down to west texas and fell from boulder to gulf border. the charts is uh, they could be repeated on sunday. on monday,

january the risk of travel squarely east was of this big system. and the top end of it still brings snag into central canada and in the west, the rockies also it's cold enough for business. but most of california is enjoying the sunshine. of course, kind of being built exactly, settled at the moment, still frequent shares with potential for flash floods in haiti, dominican republic points of rico, possibly the legal dogs as well. and as you can see, orange top suggest big charles in columbia, and in panama, i think in panama. the range is one to the of 19 ton, which it falls critical. these, the seasonal range from northern brazil across to ecuador, produced recently once again, boarding is a potential funding and that could go to the south. it's laquata. yes, there are still potentially big fan of the songs running on a typical front of the fastest present. so that must be fine. this is a region that is likely to be develop thing,

but it's one also that is afflicted by conflicts political upheaval. some of those we talk to elsewhere is saying that they sled after hearing that other villages had been attacked. what we do and all just there is try to balance the stories, the good, the bad, the id tell, it says it was. and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity into minus. he asked me to tell this story. on the, on the cloud, which is tons of the cost on al jazeera, you'll, we do look at the world of business and economics this week. global military spending is often only time high increasing and 5 geographical regions. so while
