a very real fear this standoff will end in bloodshed. and for the veil is the very latest we go to detail because fatah seana chosen bill in hong kong shot it what about the students who've already surrendered do we know where they are and what will happen to them. rita gradually we are seeing more and more students emerging from the university campus just a short time ago about a dozen walks past us here where the press is standing on one another's shoulders some of them appeared to be from the church affiliated group protect the children prior to that we've seen people coming out in in ones and twos one of them shouting out his parents' names urging people who were standing and watching the people leaving to call his parents now we know that as of this morning 100 protesters were still left inside the building chief executive kerry said 600 had left 200 of those
11:06 am
are under 18 now they have been allowed by authorities to leave to go home but they did have to provide their names and details and the police do reserve the right to arrest them and potentially charge them at a later date now the the other 400 who have left those that have been arrested they do face charges of rioting potentially which as you mentioned previously does carry up to 10 years in prison the shot the university campus seems to have become a flashpoint in the standoff between police and protesters what are conditions like inside. well it's believed that one of the reasons that these protesters are now leaving is that their resources have been dwindling this is now the 3rd day of this standoff food has been unable to get into that campus to sustain these protesters now then are said to be running very low a number of people as well said to have been injured inside at the university

campus so people are now slowly starting to emerge the mood of course will be very dark inside the university among those protesters they know that if they do you manage to leave that they will face arrest by the police officers who are still surrounding the area prepared to take them into soon as they emerge some have managed to escape so perhaps those remaining inside the university are still hoping that there's a chance that we saw some very daring images emerging last night of protesters scaling down a drain pipes and being picked up by people waiting on motorbikes below we've also had reports of people trying to escape through a drainage systems so the hope potentially among those who are still left inside the campus is of an escape but the reality is that there are so many police waiting outside that rest is almost inevitable a shot as we heard not report family members have been gathering outside the besieged campus what are their concerns what are they saying.
11:08 am
that's right parents have been outside this campus waiting for any news of their loved ones of their children some have been holding vigil today now a number of the parents that we have spoken to over the last 24 hours have expressed a real fear that police could move then and they say it's very uncertain what would happen if that does occur particularly given this warning from police on sunday night that they would be prepared to use live ammunition at protesters didn't drop their weapons one father told us that he just wanted his son to emerge safely. in hong kong thank you very much. now to a major reversal in 40 years of america's middle east policy the trumpet ministrations says it no longer considers israeli settlements in the occupied west bank a violation of international law for decades israel's settlements there have been

up in athens they are just taking them from the ports in athens to other places around greece she ended up in northern greece near nicky in a migrant camp in an iso box another shipping container and she said she was crying all day because she was looking out a window and all she could see was woods and she thought at this point after leaving moria that she would finally have something that she would compare to freedom but of course she's still in the asylum process now while all these thousands of refugees stuck on the list goes on and why didn't the greek authorities move them out to within greece all outside but this is a direct result of the 2016 deal between the european union and turkey so the e.u. gave turkey money in order that turkey would accept all the failed asylum applications back from greece in other words a lot of these migrants are passing through turkey to get to greece and if they failed asylum application then that greece could just ship them right back to turkey but there's ones to be. and that's they're only taking people from the
11:21 am
islands so these islands have become kind of reception centers for people who are waiting to do it to see if they get sent to mainland greece or if they go directly back to turkey and of course this process takes over a year sometimes and it's become really crowded on the greek islands so why has greece decided to transfer some of the refugees now and is this operation working a few things came together this autumn and that's why greece has stepped up the transfer is one of them was because of the conditions in the camps have been deteriorating there was a fire in september that killed somebody also it's becoming winter when we were there we could see our breath so this is a situation where you would want to sleep outside a tent another reason is because of turkey's incursion into syria and greece rightly so predicted that a lot more people would be coming to the greek islands so they stepped up these transfers and it seems to be a parent i mean the transfers are happening almost daily when we're on the i mean this if thank you very much for your reporting as well as your insights. to south
