the cost on red chris the sand off at the university of texas, hundreds of stain trip. this move to clay protest is really in support of tell us done where we live on campus. some of the science at columbia university is students to find a deadline to leave off by suspension, the until mccrae, this is all just there a lot from doha. also coming up. all eyes on the process is ready for it. has intensify, strikes on the self and so the killing thousands of civilians. a 65 to reach a critical moments inquiry and at least for the people that killed us or den beste its banks. and can you follow?

none of them is it risk of overflowing the we begin with an escalation on campus at the university of texas. hundreds of state troopers surrounding students on campus. i've been told to leave immediately. but i, so if i'm refusing to define coles and sides, i stand and support palestine they want and immediate in to the board in gaza. so we have correspondents covering these purchase right across the united states. she pretends he's standing by at george washington university in the u. s. capital today, so far as live outside columbia university in new york. but 1st it's head over to how does your castro she's at that protest at the university of texas in austin. heidi things really have rent up there in the last half hour or so. can you just give us an idea of exactly what is happening there right now and just how tense it

is heidi? heidi i don't know if you can hear me, but uh we are coming to you live now. how do you can just give us an idea of exactly what is happening on campus at this point in time we know tensions and really escalators in the last half hours. so looks like we kind of get through to heidi at this point in time, but we will go back to her as soon as we get that link back up. but we're going to go to columbia university. we have student protests as they had been given an ultimatum leave or by suspension. they were given a 2 pm deadline which has just passed now. hundreds of students have been

a rest of it. universities right across the united states as purchase, grow of it as well. as for wrong guys with that demanding educational institutions divest it's companies, they say i complicit in genocide. today's to by joins us live from outside columbia university in new york. and uh, today's a students were told to leave an hour ago. so what has happened since that deadline has passed the world? that's correct. the deadline has task and this is the students response. there's hundreds of of them are marching all around the time. posting on this time demanding an end to the occupation of the palace down, say, and demanding an end to the funding of companies that they say are profiting for more. they say that the university in a way funding, the general side that is happening in palestine right now. the students are saying they are not leaving. just about a few hours ago. they were handed over

a piece of paper. they have to sign if you give them feedback, many of them are covering their faces to hide their identity, so they have to sign these papers to identify and then as the universe and meet their demands earlier. today, we saw statement from the precedents of columbia university saying that they're hoping to put an end to the ongoing situation peacefully that they do not want to call law enforcement. once again, as the deed, almost 2 weeks ago were over, 100 students were detained in this campus. we've been talking to several office students that are here right now. she's also saying that they have to guarantee the receipts for the same time, ensure the safety of the door students that are starting in this university right now. students have completely taken over the 2 diversity. they're marching right now, but not far away from where i am started,

dozens of times where they have set up on a time that they're saying that they're gonna stay there. they're saying that this story is not about them is not about this problem. so what about what's happening in palo starting right now about the feeling that is happening in ga. gov. about this placement that is happening in gaza and the seniors are facing right now the today. so we know that the police presence is really ramped up at the university of texas. what exactly is it like then now? is there any, i mean it just how lodges the police and security prisons at this point in time? well we're only allowed inside this complex as to why was always been companies to your clients indeed, but we as the media, a role allows for 2 hours outside. we saw the police arriving here, but it's not clear yet whether they're going to react and try to get them out of it cancelled or not. what many of the students suspected that not something that could

happen. it happened almost 2 weeks ago, or a 100 a 100 students were detained. however, it's not here yet. what the university, whether they're going to ask and then know porcelain to intervene. once again, that's actually and that happens the almost 2 weeks ago was heavily criticized. the president was heavily criticized because of his violence that took over this place . so it's not clear yet whether the police will intervene or not. many of the students have been threatened with suspension with expulsion, with eviction. they're saying right now one part of what is certain is that everyone that we're seeing the or say that they're not going to. okay, thanks so much today. so we really do appreciate that updates there. we're going to go back now to heidi to a castro who is live in austin, texas at the university of texas. now and heidi, hopefully you can hear me now. can you just give us a bit of an update on exactly how tense it is that now since the state troopers have moved in tom?

absolutely. i'm going to actually get out of the way because i want you and our audience to see exactly what i'm seeing. and that is that the state troopers have moved in and are arresting student protesters at this very moment here on the campus. give you t austin. this interaction started about, i would say an hour and a half an hour ago. when we saw from testers the summer off. you see all 7 students, some our graduates other are, are affiliated but community members in austin. they've come to set up a small encampment and then we saw the protesters form a type circle around that in cameron and link their arms. and at that time, there were police in the surrounding area, but they haven't moved them yet. and speaking with those protesters, you know, the and that type circle, they were telling me how things are going to be here. and to demonstrate the side that their voices would not be chilled by the previous police

response, which we just saw a week ago in which people were arrested. some injured when the state trooper since like the ones you see now move in on these protests. but they told me how fearful they were feeling in that moment as they were keeping their eyes on these offices. and then right after that interview is when. unfortunately, there are worse fears began to materialize and these officers moved in closer. they surrounded the protesters and their own ring. they ordered them to disperse, non heated that warning. and now we've been seen this. stand off, sometimes a stand off, sometimes a clash where the protesters are standing the ground again with a link in here. and there we see police creaking their formation to take one or 2 from testers down. and i use those words very carefully. that is

exactly what i've seen. they put their hands on a person and then ripped, ripped them away from their fellow protesters, several hitting the ground and then drag them away. that is exactly what i've been seeing and i think you can see a little bit more of that as we continue to monitor the situation. yeah, we can, it doesn't seem a pop from the protest as linking um, so if there was any real resistance, would that be fair to say? yeah, i would say, i haven't seen any one attack officers. there have been plenty of chance. actually. we are standing amongst others who came in support of the protesters. people hear yelling at the officers to leave. so we campus saying that the students are in their rights to express their freedom of speech because they haven't been violent. and we've been here for several days and i was going to tell

you earlier in the day that it seems, it really seemed like there had been a chilling effect here on campus after last week's crack down. and even speaking with some of the original organizers of the protests, they set, people had been scared off. and that's why, for a long time there wasn't any sort of a large presence. and then all of that changed, yes. in the last 2 hours or so, when protests are set up this and cameron some how do you mostly really wanting the state? truth is what we're going to move in. know there was that the last communication that came from youtube as president j hearts was on thursday evening when he said to the school community that in essence he, he was really trying to walk back that strong police response we saw initially on

the 1st day of protests, he said that at that time he believed that those original protesters would foreman and cabinets and without citing any evidence of actual violence or any evidence of anti cement anti semitism. he said that he believed that that's what they were going. that's the road they were going down in modeling and other campuses and that's why he ordered the national excuse me, the state police to move in. yeah. and he took a lot of heat over that. and it was almost like a tone of appeasement. he said that he was so grateful that the smaller, peaceful protest continued after that. okay, so that was the last we heard from the you choose the president. and so for this suddenly to change so quickly and so dramatically. i think the both of these come out of why, why, if i sense in the state, truth is obviously that he is we can say are in full right get. why is

a side trip is dealing with us and not the campus security or campus police. right. that is a good question. well of course we are in the state capital of texas, austin. and in fact, you can see the capital jones. that's just a square in front of us behind the protest. and so there are, there are many state troopers present here. and of course, this is the capital where that as the governor reg abbott, who of course controls really is the, is a top commander of the state police. this is where he is. he is based and he himself has been trying to take credit saying that he was cracking down on anti semitism, saying that any students that participated in these protests would be expelled. and, but i, yes, but your question is right, right. exactly, on the tips of many people's lives here because those community members who have come out to watch this to bear witness,

they say to this and full they to are wondering why is it that the officers are armed sometime with assault right? weapons. some of them definitely with the tons, riot gear, as you see here. yeah. why was as necessary when really there has been no cited instances of violence that's been cited by the protesters. yeah. how do you, as you mentioned the crank down a week ago, approaches to say, well, what happens to those protests is and what is likely to happen to these people that are being dragged away by state troopers now? yeah, well there were some 57 people who were arrested last week and oh, now you're actually you can see a protest her being by the way now those who are arrested last wednesday, all of them had their charges dropped and they were charged initially with the misdeeds misdemeanor, trespassing and but according to the district attorney here,

the travis county district attorney, those charges were dropped. exciting, and sufficient evidence and charging them what will happen to these, this fresh wave of protesters? we don't know, know i was here when police issued over the loudspeaker and it was there are 2 dispersed, i heard them do that one time. i will say i was standing very close to the police when they issued that order. so i heard them clearly, but because of the allowed chance, i doubt that everyone within the protest for it as well. so i'm sure that will be a point of investigation later on. whether or not these protestors were given an opportunity to lead peacefully. i will also say they arrived and they linked their arms, knowing likely, knowing that this might be in store heidi, we'll leave it there for the moment, but we no doubt we'll be coming and talking to you in the hours to come to keep a very close on exactly what is happening there at the university of texas in austin. i can't speak now to she han,

potentially. he's and george washington university in washington, dc. and she have the capitol police very careful in the why the handling the students will you are. is that right? itself a contrast of the scenes that we were just witnessing in austin fox as always, that sense of french because we know that the university administrators here at george washington university have been asking for the police to crack down in a similar fashion as they were. and at austin here and is the police, it was saying that we, we don't want the objects of, of, of talking peaceful, peaceful protest is. i still scarred a little bit by 2020 when the but the police and washington basically to donald trump's bidding and caring got peaceful protests outside the white house during the black lives. boucher approach has been very close to you that this time around, but we know how quickly things can change, especially when the administrators meet the university academic administration

that's supposed to be nurturing freedom of stores and expression and engagement critically with the well, the other ones who are saying we need to, we need to clear these people out because when it comes to israel there's absolutely no room for descent. as far as the, as far as the administration is concerned, both you here uh, an adult or a universe. yeah. and frankly, in the white house as well to ship with, we've obviously spoken atlanta balance, the demands that these protests is putting out there. but also they're obviously wanting to put pressure on joe biden, in the white house. has there been any sign at this point in time that is actually happening? scary. primarily the pressure here is on the university to bid us right. does that cool? like on a divestment from companies that are actually helping what they call these rarely will machine souls. and so many in garza, but you have plenty of this as

a political capacity. we just kilometer away from the white house. and the answer is better. it's having no effect on the why does it's business as usual? and there's always been the sense that the white house, that it, even though this is an election. yeah. and you've tried that will be starting pointing to button. but in the end, fear of trump and perhaps even fear of what the issue of reproductive rights will, you know, the nature reproductive rights of your trump administration within the and get everyone back on board. but i have to say it's sort of such a strange idea to think that by d will probably make his arguments and the like when the election campaign starts getting full swing. but he is the representative of democracy and likes to pay up to trumps or talk for free. and it's gonna be very difficult for me to make that argument. i would, i would think of and certainly the seeds we speech it say, look it genocide. joe is not going to get the vote. no matter was it in, in, in them, in november, but sadly, the wife seems to think now i'd be out of the little sort out at a man. but you know, they've always been silent. they want israel to wrap up before the huge with the election campaign until then they can do whatever they want. there's nothing's

suggesting that they'd still feel that way. so you got the other, but at the moment. okay, she ever had to leave a debit test or was we really do appreciate your time. she have a tendency for us at george washington university in dc as well. there's been renewed diplomatic efforts to reach us. these firing jobs are as the as riley bone . bob and of the strip continues us secretary of state entity blinking is in saudi arabia where he's being meeting with regional counter pods. shamella baba reports us secretary of state and it blinking, hoping for moves and just the between how may i send these? well, the good to respond stored ceasefire tools. he says how boss should accept and use by the proposal. how much has before the proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of israel. and in this moment, the only thing standing between the people of guys and a cease fire is the most. they have to decide,

and they have to decide quickly how mazda dismisses accusations. it's delaying seized by a deal. the group that controls gauze blames these by the prime minister for putting his own political survival ahead of a last thing agreement. the immediate to is katasha and egypt continuing to explore chances for a new one, but becoming increasingly frustrated. cutoff probably minutes to admit it's sort of floating up as says, the biggest obstacle to lasting peace is the failure of the international community to solve the policy. and he's very complex. a lot of efforts must be exhausted to sort out the military escalation. for the sake of all countries in that region, we need to bring peace to the middle east. the international community has failed to find a solution to the palestinian cause. thus we now see the blood seed every week and every day and the gas and striking us officials hopping,

trying to build consensus for a post will gaza. they initially said they want to see a new policy a forward to take over. and when president mode i bass pointed and you'll probably minutes a how mass rejected the move as a be trial. and there's another reason why the us, once a deal soon, the americans believe a long term political solution to the about of seeing is riley conflict. could encourage saudi arabia and many out of nations to establish diplomatic ties with they as well as, while by a 0 at least 25 palestinians have been killed in this riley strikes on. rafa is ready forces drunk, 3 houses crowded with this place, palestinians wiping out entire families in seconds of this comes and the new diplomatic efforts in cairo to reach us the spot. and just in getting food reports the cradles, the body of young b for law,
