6:02 am
with any good. good is enough for us and is the best protect 2 of us in the united states, the been ninty 900 arrests nationwide, a student protest has continued to demand an end, as well as war on concept. these are pictures from yale university in connecticut. and then other states, local activism joins students calling for the universities to comp times when israel was seeking an end to us military aid for the country. hundreds of demonstrators standing in solidarity with palestinians had been arrested sofa stonehenge. and is that the city university of new york each day in the life of a protest is a little bit different. and on sunday day for and city university in new york, we saw how the war in guys it has divided the jewish. first we saw a man white dental fight himself as a former israeli soldier who said he had just come back from god,
6:03 am
trying to infiltrate the camp. and there were a few moments of tension and he was injected and eventually escorted away by police who said they were doing it for his own safety. then we saw an orthodox, jewish rabbi burn his is rarely passport in protest of the war. and we spoke to an ultra orthodox rabbi who told us why he was here with the protesters and did not believe that the war and gothic is justified. well, we are here because we are inspired by these brace students here to city college in columbia university, throughout the city and the world know these, these courageous students will stand up for just this was done the for what is right. this should be a lesson for the world to stand up in the face of this genocide taking place now in gaza. and this occupation that at least for decades, progress are doing is all under the watchful eyes. instantly. there are campus security who have already once tried to shut down this protest area, and then there's a new york police department to set up
6:04 am
a light cold on either end of this process area. and that is so they get a life a place up at night if they need to. and sweep the students out with the students. say they're here to say john, hindrance l g 0 new york. i'll just, there was an official, isn't the george washington university in the capital where students from at least a universities have joined the 4th day of protest. so remember that this all started on thursday when students multiply university yard and you can see the hard core to protest. there's probably about that does. we are still in the courtyard building their tents. they're not moving anywhere. so and they've been there since thursday. the university authorities have put the railings across the courtyard to restrict them spreading any farther. but is that protest has gotten smaller? the protests on the street has become much bigger. in fact, there's a growing air of permanency to this. not only do we have tents where people can eat,
6:05 am
and we've had lots of local businesses donating food to the people here. more or more people are setting up tents because they intend to spend the night. yeah. now there's no saying that the students are going to leave the, meet the demands, very clear to the university authorities at each school. and there's a going to 8 or 9 of them represented to you. i've got slightly different demands, but the key points are they want the universities to dive based. any interests they have it and it's really businesses. they want to cut academic ties with israel as well. and they want to make sure that the protests leaders will not face part of that action. we know at george washington university, 7 of those who were involved in the protests in thursday while they have been suspended. and that means they could lose their student housing. possibility they won't graduate as well, and all the credits for the last 10 will be white type. so they're asking for a complete honesty as well. and the intention of the students is to stay here to say this is the for the doing cnn. anytime soon. all is for sure,
6:06 am
i'll just see it up at george washington university in washington dc. i'm phillip, i will have this update from the university of north carolina chapel hill. this process is now, well, i'm truly on the way we have told by the organizers there was somebody in the region of 500 people here. i can say. so if you're the best of the students from this campus, from other universities, local activists table, they've just seen the social media post. i wanted to come here to show this on a thursday. i'm the support for the people of garza. i'm the demands from the university students have a very clear number one. they want the university 5 best from products that support israel. number 2, they want to pull transparency about any investments that relates to israel. now the university is allowing these people to be here. it's like someone that will be there for several days. if you look over that, you can see where they've been sleeping. they are allowed to sleep on the restrict provide so they do not erect any time since that you'll be there sleeping all
6:07 am
throughout the night. i repeat it all throughout the tides, although i am told by some of the organizers of this protest that the university is trying other methods to get them out. for example, they have locked the doors to a number of these buildings, so nobody can use the restroom. also, they have stopped taking the trash away, so the students and outside of the area so that it doesn't start to smell. and number 3, they say they've been told by the universe to say that the sprinklers will be turned on at midnight. so they proactively put book. it's over the spring close to stop them being french, but they say they don't care about audio thought. this isn't watchable about the why the course. they will stay it for as long as it takes at the moment, there is no police presence. there are some purpose officer station on the outside of the area, just keeping an eye on things. but at the moment, this is a very, i repeat the process, a lot process, but a peaceful protest fil about. let's just say era. chapel hill, north carolina, and thousands of people were arrested during a protest in support of the palestinians at washington university. on saturday
6:08 am
evening, one of them was doctor jill stein, a presidential candidate with the green party. and this is us connections. she says, criticism of israel is often incorrectly described as being anti semitic. i am a person of jewish background myself that was raised very much, you know, after the holocaust and having a grand parents who were refugees from anti semitism and pogroms themselves. you know, i was raised very much within that, tried to within that tradition, but that tradition was also fed to genocide should happen to know one. and unfortunately, you know zionism is not judaism and zionism has been controversial within the jewish community. in fact, since its origins in the 18 hundreds and that the controversy continues today. and the consequences design is and where basically people came in just came in refugees who then said this land is ours. and we are ethnically cleansing this land. that's
6:09 am
not ok, is fine for people to be refugees, but them to take over the land and to displace and use violence against the the people who are there. you know, that's the problem. this crisis did not start on october 7th, october 7th, was just the latest phase of you know, violence that was perpetrated mostly by israel, against the palestinians, starting back at the naca and before in fact, certainly 75 years in advance in advance of that. and unfortunately, jews, and i know myself because i was raised as part of that, have been taught a certain version of history, which is not quite accurate. and as more and more historical documents have come to light, it's, you know, it's very clear that there have been, there's been, you know, an outrage is tradition of violence against palestinians from the get go. so zionism is something that needs to be defeated and being anti zionist is not the same as being anti semitic logic on him. but i guess from a to 9 to national,
6:10 am
that's a piece group which attempts to bring together jews and arabs is right, isn't published, demands in dialogue, is what he thinks about the conflict and doesn't my name is eliza calendar and i am 21 years old i'm a student here at the university of texas at austin and i'm majoring in jewish studies, government and middle east studies. my father's side is osh can honestly jewish and my mother's side has the support of jewish higher heritage. i'm a very proud you in most jewish education when it comes to palestinians, you're not told about 1948, so you're not to pull that up and not. but we typically told um, sometimes outright rates of things and not errands. and how since i began to process of unpacking a lot of what i was told and he for school, but also engaging with palestinians. and a conclusion i came to is that palestinian culture is more similar to my culture. didn't any other culture in the world find the president and founder of athena international work? he's a t not combined with keyboard a t t for future with the arabic subjects. now for our and when he put those 2
6:11 am
together means our future. we really just try to promote open dialogue on college campuses to get to know the quote unquote of for you. and i'm leaving you to begin to humanize the other. i think that's more important now than ever. i believe that the actions in gaza do constituted genocide. there are many corporations that are profit tearing from what is happening in gaza. specifically, american corporations like boeing, like lockheed martin. and these are the corporations that needs to be called out for profit hearing from the death and destruction of the palestinian people. and because students took their 1st amendment civil liberties at the university to the forefront, they were repressed. i was injured when one of the state troopers charged with the horse and i was subsequently pushed to the ground. i was in shock when that speaking out on behalf of how sending people is not inherently anti semitic. i personally dealt with a lot of accusations that i am either a self hating you and even worse, somebody called me a capital, which is
6:12 am
a jew who sell the fellow jews to the nazis all for the stances i've taken for my policy and brothers and sisters and that's personally um, very hurtful to me. i lost family in the whole of costs, but it doesn't stop me. i understand what i'm doing. it's just i, i'm standing with my pulsing brothers and sisters for a very normal cause. and, and i view them as my family well, emulate just found a diplomatic talks to us. president joe biden down, his riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu held a phone call. that said to discuss the possibility of an immediate cease fire, which would be in conjunction with the release of captives being held in gaza a to him and also discussed an increase in the delivery of a to gaza. for you're such a state down to me, blink guns, do to make yet another trip to the middle east is expected to travel to saudi arabia, israel and jordan. and on monday i must delegations do you in egypt and capital to discuss the spot proposal, 100 to the media, to some cattle and egypt. both countries have played
6:13 am
a key role in efforts to secure a spot between israel and i'm us for john cubby's, the white house national security advisor. he says that attempts to forward a ceasefire between israel and i'm asked us to long ago what we're hoping is that after 6 weeks of a temporary cease bar, we can maybe get something more enduring and place it is certainly will help increase the volume of a that's getting into guys, but nothing can replace quite frankly, nothing can replace the ground routes and the trucks that are getting it. we're not mccurry. some of the american university of b realty says the bite and administration is considered under the support israel punk that hopes of re election in the trench 20 for us presidential race. what's fascinating, here's the involvement of the 3rd party, which of these neither states. so this is a war between the united states and there's room on one side and her mouth and some other groups on the post and inside. the united states is really worried about many things they were terrified of. the iranian is rarely exchange of fire,
6:14 am
a weapon then on attacks with 3 of them, even though they were both controlled. they were terrified of a wider war in the region. what the impact of this, of, or flows, investment on global trade would be catastrophe. the united states government, led by the democrats and by them are terrified of the impact of this war on their election prospects in november of its fall. yes. or they show the 81 percent of young people. all people, not just democrats, 81 percent of americans between the ages of 18 and 34 thinks of uh, the war as being a battling the mileage and they disapprove of the weather was going on. american support for this is a huge, huge thing for american politicians. and they're also finding that they're not being isolated around the world because you can't islip initial strong, but they don't have the same cloud that they,
6:15 am
that they used to. people are looking at the china to rush up to india to the bridge to other people for strategic relationships as well as americans. so that's huge fear in the. busy us talk for a short break here, and i'll just say are right, when we come back, looking a fast us government projects, accusations, expenditures execute to the hundreds of civilians, including children. plus 30 years of democracy announces the return. this returns to his former university to talk to students about set up for his past and future more than the . so these springs that the students have certainly been showing themselves as violent. dudley tornadoes after huge thunder storms in the plane stage, the us nebraska is particularly badly affected. oh, because of this typical setup. you draw a moist air up from the gulf to it reaches cold somewhere for the nose. new drawer
6:16 am
system up along the fence of now they're moving eastwood steering monday. so there's arkansas status, which the gulf coast that sees the biggest on the storms top and is still cold enough to cease and start not far from when they pick united, the fight and states look fine, the still smarter than open rockies. and even on the coast of washington state when the, when the weather. but the next system already building. so from i went down to was maybe northern texas though the shower look small. they could grow again. and these thankfully dine dining that for also to that throughout the car beings, federal breeze. felicia hows again, folks young, believe dolls, tex and k costs for to rico hispanic children back through cuba, frequent sheriffs, they seem to be getting bigger and more frequent to the next couple of days in south america, where we seen some big thunder storms in se, visit or big, moving back time towards the you required and re is dropping, and such a 9 to set you want. seasonal rains through nose in brazil, back towards ecuador, are also not quite as ferocious on monday of
6:17 am
the. why have american evangelicals become his real strongest back, or is us president, you'll find the right to stand with this real, with no red line. as long as us support continues, is there anything that can stop is real, solve on gaza from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line, examining the impact of today's headlines. setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. international filmmakers and will cross journalist bring programs to inform and inspire financial sierra, the the
6:18 am
welcome back here watching out. just a real quick reminder about top stories here at this hour at least 25 honest. and the ends up in kilobytes, rarely asked price across concert in the last few hours. at least 9 members of the same families were killed. and us try kind of home in a rough one. hold on 1500000 into space pumps, demands a counter sheltering and sitting in the united states. the been any 900 arrests nationwide. a student protest has continued to them on hand as well to demonstrate recycling value. the best is to cut ties with israel under 6 and an end to us ministry for a country. now thousands of schools across pumps and asia have temporarily shut down due to a searing heat wave authorities in the philippines suspended classes rest the 3 days after announcing school closures last week, public health warnings of also has been issued for cost to save you on. usually hot weather in the philippines expects the last until mid may off in the capitol of
6:19 am
many lots. so record high temperatures. what i'll just say was bonnie below showing just live now for money left. bonham. it's a march, april and may are usually the office months in the philippines, but how much was it this, e and y thing, so bad. yeah, there in the philippines is a tropical country, so it is hot all throughout the year. but it is hot as during the months of march, april in may. now typically we experience temperatures in the low to mid thirty's here. that should not because i grew up here, but the temperatures that we are experiencing right now, especially in the past few weeks, are not normal at all. we have been experiencing averages or in the high thirty's. and as you mentioned, we experienced the hottest temperature on records here. the philippine capital yesterday at 38.8 degrees celsius. and we're just talking about the surface temperature here. the heat index is another issue because that's really the heat that we are feeling in our bodies. taking into account the humidity. it's very
6:20 am
humid out here in the philippines, and right now, i'm baking under the heat. so yesterday when the temperature was 38.8, the resale susemski's index was actually at 45 degrees celsius. and in one town in the northern philippines, the heat index actually peaked at $53.00 degrees celsius. that's really fun imaginable. heat. and just to illustrate the heat, there is one down in the northern philly piece of water reservoir that has dried up so much that a town that was submerged during the construction of this down, back in the 1960s. that town has now re surface completely. and so it has become a sort of a tourist spot, but it does illustrate just how bad this heat wave is. and of course, scientists are pointing to climate change as one of the reasons as well as the and menial phenomenon. now, one of the biggest impact of course,
6:21 am
has been on the education sector. and as you can see, i'm here inside of school right now. and the school ground is empty, the classrooms are empty. and so the education sector definitely has been affected by this heat wave darren, all right, the bottom in their life as the inventory of the frontier. you know, tons of me is 5 minutes to casting much anyways. warning that the heavy rains, which have led to widespread deadly flooding a set to continue at least a 155 people have been killed while only a quarter of a 1000000 people have been displaced. townsend as one of several countries across east africa dealing with the impact of the el nino, whether or not there's been some smart fighting and l, sasha, and so them, this comes off to the un security council, expressed deep concern that sedans, pamela, treat rapids support forces would attack, the city is the last stronghold of the army in the western dial 4 region. at least 21 communities have been hit in the area since march, with
6:22 am
a number of civilians displaced by fighting in l. sasha has grown to 800000 and recent months. rocket support forces to control the full other state capitals last year. i'll just say it was even more going to pull. it's now from content. the reason why the united nations security council and other agencies, nations and the united nations secretary general as they are focusing on m slash it is because it's the city that's many people from other parts of dar for displaced to when their cities fell under the control also be permitted to rapid support forces. the number of displaced people went from 300002 over 800000 in recent months as a result of the iris of taking over the cities in the therefore region. the concern is that these tribes the tribes that are right now in infested, our tribes that have been historically targeted by the permanent 3 are a separate since the size of it are 4 in 2003. so they are fears that if they are assess, talk, attacking the city,
6:23 am
then those tribes will be targeted just as the ethnic must certainly try, bored, targeted english in west star for in the city of june. and now that's where the you and said between 10 to 15000 people were killed in the space of weeks by the parent military rapids support forces. i'm allied diminishes. so the concern is that especially would become what has been described as a kill box, and they will be a mastercard, where they are assessed and their allies, melisha will target people based on their ethnicity. now uh there's been calls for a ceasefire and for the turing parties to return to talk before uh, the rest of attacks and pressure. but so far, the 2 sides are, you get to heat through those calls and announce that they will be reviewing negotiations and decide to city of kid that between the, between them mediated by saudi arabia and the united states. so while the 2 sites are, you get to return to negotiating table or for to agree to any ceasefire. they all concerns that once the recept attacks those trap in the safety of especially the ethnic um uh for or is of our people who have been historically targeted by the our
6:24 am

6:25 am
said that they've spoken to eye witnesses to what they describe as a massacre that took place on the 25th of february in 2 villages, by the border of molly, the village of nadine and sore where those that survived. the massacre say that soldiers were in uniform shop indiscriminate lead towards women and children and adults. they were separated and 3 groups and then dumped into mass graves. when this report was made public last friday, the reaction from the government was to clamp down on any news organization or media outlet that was reporting on it, including international use, media outlets or reporters without border say that the government of regina paso is clumping down on descent and any voices that would give it different narrative to the one of the government. but this report comes at a time where there is increasing attacks from arm groups linked to al qaeda and ice
6:26 am
. so over 2000000 people have been displaced. the government of regina for us to say they will investigate this latest accusation made by the human rights watch report. a nicholas hawk al jazeera the car. now voting is due to start in togo empowerment rate on regional elections with the opposition coding for a massive turn out. let's go tensions running. hines and slow make us approved a new constitution and a series of crackdowns on opposition protest. critics say the political changes will allow president followed that same day to further explain this time on his loan with on power. the president's policy says the new system is more democratic. a tornado has struck the southern chinese city of glen jo, getting 5 people that 33 others were injured when the trista landed mid afternoon on saturday. hold on a 140 factory buildings were damaged and
6:27 am
a 2nd tornado hit. another dispute later in the day, well, ma june is from the institute for public and environmental affairs and aging. he says, extreme weather events becoming more common around the world. the stage is big so that there's an increasing frequency all 5 of extreme heavy rain full in china just like the many other parts of the word since 1916. so it's, uh, it's a, it's going up and down, and then, but to color they, in the, in this region and this region, this year suffered from the earliest i have a, you know, a record breaking or the flooding from the beginning of this month. and then, you know, before this tornado the, the per right. but the wrong, don't, you know, the prominence of going to have suffered to rock of very heavy rainfalls. and we'd
6:28 am
send treat, or a warning, a warning about one seeing 100 years of flooding. and it's causing a lot of damage and then some casualties already. so this is, um, uh, uh, a uh, a new challenge that, that we have to, to do with, uh, and china is uh, trying to, to beauty, strengthen our already warning system. and you know, with better metro logical uh, forecast and capacity and also emergency response, emergency response capability is being stressed out over the long run this cities and all need to be designed and plans with higher standards of the slot discharge, and, and what the lobby prevention at least 4 people, including a 4 month old baby, had been killed off the tomatoes hit. the us state of oklahoma storms,
6:29 am
which began late on saturday nights, have destroyed buildings and left thousands without power. more than a 100 people have been injured in oklahoma governor has declared a disaster emergency for the state. dozens of tornadoes have been reported across the american midwest since friday. no 50 years of democracy in south africa may have a cheap political stability bond with high unemployment and inequality. not everyone has received the better life promised in its constitution with an election due next month. i'll just here with jonah, how got the fuse of students. john is birds bits, university. south africa's university of the vic vault is run to bits, has always been a politicized campus. it was a hot bed of student protest during the struggle against the prostate. when nelson mandela became president in 1994, i was a new student here. i wondered what which students make of this moment 30 years old
6:30 am
from south africa's 1st free and democratic election. it remains really relevant to me because that is not a long time, like it was only recently when we got the democracy that we have and the freedom for everybody to vote the way we have. i think it would be unreasonable to see if it hasn't been progress. good for one. we have political rights, we convert to freedom of speech. we can criticize a government as much as we want. i'm not going to come to you and say, if you vote for this issue, the answer from palo do abc is going to to do. but i know that because i mean, wait and if maybe the point is where to take a lot for us to take us out of it. so it's very important you can hopefully by realistic get this impact you sent you the, i think that saw that some democrats, you just thought, i think that was package and nicely put everyone on and put my data on the face. and we'd article that people, what we saw was an opportunity for change. we're still figuring out what works for us and what doesn't. so it becomes very hard to explain to a generation of people were born born fees who are thrown into this.
