this will not be sold present by the said, the protest would not influencing his policy on the war in gaza until you defended the students' rights to protest while making clear. but the freedom of speech has its limits. we've all seen the images and they put to the test for 2 fundamental american principles, excuse me. the 1st is the right to free speech for people to peacefully assemble and make their voices her. second is the rule of law. both must be upheld. we are not in a far terry nation where we silence people are squashed to say there should be no place on any campus, no place in america for anti semitism or threats of violence against jewish students. there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind present 5, no sir, said he didn't believe the national guard ought to be called in, but he's presumptive republican challenger. and this is the election in november of

the form of present. donald trump, of course, the price, the white police, clear columbia university in new york, say other schools should follow suit. it took a beating, but the police came in and in exactly 2 hours everything was over. it was a beautiful thing to watch every college resident and i say remove the in tap and so immediately vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all as a normal one, a safe place from which to learn. one of the students key pro test at the mans as being the universe is cut the tides to companies who do business with these, right? the military or supplies or even with is really partnerships all together. protest as a brown, you invest in providence, rhode island, celebrated after the school agreed to meet the student representatives, to consider divestment. and we send students agree to dismantle that protests come

bronze. the 1st major us university to sing the willingness to consider divestment christmas econo as an assistant professor of educational studies davidson college in north carolina who specializes in higher education financing policies. welcome to do what i'm looking at this story. one of the 1st questions that, that strikes me is why, why are universities investing in israel? so universities are invested in lots of different things, just like an american 401 k retirement account. they invest broadly so that they can have returns and all different ways and ensure that their investments provide the revenue that are, that is needed to supplement operating revenue, tuition fees, like service services, and how much are we talking about? or it just depends on what you think of as an investment in israel. students

are called lang for divestment, from weapons manufacturers divestment from his really businesses, but also divestment from the, from any business that does business with any business in israel. and that section of the economy is pretty large. so it just depends on the university and it's an investment strategy, but by large universities are invested in global companies that do do business. and that's real saying, why do you explain to you explain it as though this is noble, it's every day i'm and of course it is. but we're talking about institutions investing a massive amounts of institutions, who's constituents, if i can put it that way. uh, quite loud, quite noisy, quite boisterous, quite now they, i'm surprised that the sort of demonstrations haven't happened more in the past about sundry issues. so they have happened in the past. they've happened around fossil fuel divestment pushes for universities to invest more heavily in green energy and divest from oil companies or patrol companies. and they certainly

happened 40 years ago with respect to apartheid in south africa. 30 years ago, last week was the anniversary of nelson mandela's election victory as president of south africa, functionally inducing apartheid us students were protesting for that very event reality. 10 years prior. yeah, i was going to told you about that. i was one of those students, not in the us, but in the u. k, who, who was protesting against investment. one of the big targets was barclays bank and in the u. k. uh, back then that's 3040 years ago when they eventually did come out of south africa. there were lots of reasons given button. the very big played down the effect of, of student a protest. i wonder how effective you think that would be covered in protests are likely to be you not to be guessing, universities a, to take that money out in terms of getting universities to take their money out.

far less likely than getting universities and university constituencies to press put pressure on the bottom administration. and i'm prime minister netanyahu yahoo, in israel, we know that. i cannot make divestment from universities, made a little very little impact on the fossil fuel industry. there's some argument that economic pain felt by university divestment in south africa. wasn't that great, at least as much as it was, the political paid students may be asking for divestment, but what they really want is a ceasefire and israel and as a, as far as we know now they've gotten the attention of the israeli prime minister, who stated just last week that he was paying attention to these protests. now here's the problem. graduation is round the corner. the academic year is almost over. can students keep that attention? after graduation it's you have to be seen. be interested in your thoughts on a couple of different responses to these divestment calls. we have brown university on the one side, agreeing to hear from the student representatives before getting it to the board to

vote on the issue. and we have columbia on the other side, just saying no. and there are tremendous differences in the approaches the student groups have taken. and of course, have tremendous differences in the response. columbia match students with force inviting police on to their campus, really putting into question the extent to which the great university believes and academic freedom and freedom of speech. on the other hand, brown students asked for a specific ask, asking for the brown corporation, their board of trustees to examine a proposal that would enable divestment from just 11 companies. almost all of them defense manufacturers are in the aerospace industry that narrowly targeted divestment ask is definitely going to be met by less resistance then, divesting from what amounts to the global economy should be no surprise that brown university students have been working towards this far before october 7th, and the for the,

cannot live. i can't leave home nonsense and i've been there. i've been receiving threats, demanding. i leave the neighborhood within 5 days. and this is where should i go for them and it shows up what comes the model. ok, so i can't go back to cereal box with him. i'm wanted and would be immediately drafted into the military. i'm a clubhouse rec, oscar. none of buttons are. that's what i'm headed better for you. as opposed to old syrians and bows have moved. you must leave your shops and residences by friday at the latest you've been warned. for tens of few syrians have lived in this neighborhood together with the minis mean the christians. but now these to be in on shops have been shut down. and many serious companies have left their rent of homes as well. i mean, they took over our businesses and replace this. they come into 11 and legally and are increasingly committed crimes and murders, an online move hello. sort of, you might want them out in any way possible. i mean,

i just want them outside of the moment, little they took our jobs and disrupted our lives that the lecture look like, how you like to live. i don't know. so we have a legal status can stay, but those are here illegally should leave, but attacking them is not acceptable under pressure by independence. economy collapse and the country's political paralysis deal told her to use our, echoing the sentiments, have not gotten the political edge. the security closest and the police to family and strictly implemented lebanese low on the syrian refugees, a different and host the greatest number of refugees per capita of any country into what. more than 2000000 students in lebanon formed 45 percent of the population. this would be equivalence of nearly 38000000 refugees in germany. and some 163000000 refugees, the united states of america. these sort of numbers are very significant in the context of depend on security and power shading model. the vast majority of the

refugees are sunni muslims, that has been viewing peers with a huge demographic in balance in the country with christians and muslims chair power, equally in new jersey and of political unity. why the political parties are calling for the quotation of syrian refugees pushing many of them towards choices that is making udall the nervous model had that a long icons stay here against the wind locally beneath my water sewer down when i don't know what to do, but honestly, the fun is, i'm not that that i hate going. i may try to leave for another country. the way i'm on the box. i'm. i know i have no other choice but has to go through and legal migrant focus on, on the with on word migration for you to roots out of reach the dangerous c journeys to you will only increase

lawmakers in the solomon islands have picked a new prime minister, an election that was closely watched by the pacific's magic powers. jeremiah been a, as a full of a foreign minister whose place to continue following policies of ever close the ties with china, of the solomon islands occupying a strategic position ne of australia, which is of interest to china. and his goal of expanding its influence in the pacific new prime minister says he'll bring more infrastructure to the items. australia has traditionally being the occupant goes biggest douglas, but china is catching up and has constructed roads, a sport stadium, and the telecommunications network. because of these, my parking novak isn't in the pacific geo politics experts with the atlantic council. a think tank key, joins us from washington. d. c. a. welcome to the w. let's start with y b u. s. and china cache. so much about who leads this tiny little child of islands of the east coast of papua new guinea and north of australia. yeah. do to be wasted today.

i think the answer to that is that did you because of the geo political location of the pacific islands, the wider region, terry, is your quoted what locations are a no pacific cio politics which are very much relevant to china, the united states, australia, and other countries in the region and because of the solomon islands location, or stripe p c lanes and then that one easier to tell go. it was a lot of interest from outside powers and ultimately sure, able to exercise influence in the solomon islands. you're able to then project influence outwards potentially. i think that's the whole point. what interest of china is our embrace of the song? ok, so the previous prime minister grab the world's attention when he signed the security deal with china back in 2022. and the new guy jeremiah manila looks like he's going to continue these countries that china friendly stands. why?

what's in it for the, the solomon islands, as the argument said, mister sog already made during the election campaign that mister mcveigh like. others, a one with them made in the campaign and argue, was that a whining was the solomon islands not only is bring them increased development benefit from china, particularly in the economic problem, but also is causing other outside powers like australia in the united states to q up with additional development in economic aid that would not otherwise be there. um, i think there's, you know, certainly debate to be had as to whether chinese 8 has had the desired impact within the country or not. and, you know, well, mr. song of all right was well known for his embrace of china. it was the republican floor, were leaning about it. you know, mr. mcnaly was his foreign minister for 5 years. and he was ultimately a key architect to the deal. but one of the folks who spearheaded it during the sound of our administration, and we can expect that broadly speaking to continue. right. so it's coming from,

from, from watching from the i, i gather it's a very nuanced document, but it does sound like the solomon islands are playing one side off again. so you have a that's, that's, that is the case. yeah, i think there's a lot of commentary and analysis around that is effectively argues that i do think one angle that is important to mention is that with mr. sato vari wasn't office, there were also in the logical drive to have for personal and professional reasons . he has known for having a bit of an anti australian attitude, so there was also an element of that a quite, and i think mr. saldivar, i also saw it by securing additional development aid from china that he wouldn't be able to exercise influence over how was the spends in the country that was going to help him hold power at home. and when the election, which, you know, you had mixed results on, obviously he's not returning his prime minister, but he is still returning as a member hardwood for his constituency. and can certainly be expected to exercise

influence with forward, despite not holding the top job. okay, so it would have been us, australia, or indeed the west in general have we, we've dropped the full here, let china sort of a slide in without, without just noticing because i'm the us at child have been taking the solomon islands respectively for granted. or whether it happened unnoticed or noticed, it really depends on who you ask. you know, there's a lot of folks will make arguments one way or the other. but i think the fact is that once diplomatic recognition from someone i was, was set from china to taiwan, and particularly when that security agreement was made in 2022. that was western countries off you've since seen the united states, for example, the embassy and on the are you see increase are still in developing that he's an economic aid. and he'd certainly seen western powers, you know, really wake up and, you know, think there's something to be said that they might be behind the 8 ball,

little bit a little bit. but they're certainly making sense. and i think they may see a sliver of opportunity with the new prime minister despite being points to probably continue the countries looking north for an awesome. okay, so playing, playing at both sides off against each other. off solomon islands is baffled, likely to look around and then i don't know, 2 years, 4 years, 10 years time is like, oh look, we've got apple, it's schools shops, houses. are they going to see some tangible benefits? that is the intense and that was something mr. sort of already tried to argue during the campaign that it was bringing better economic benefits that the infrastructure safe for the pacific games was bolstering the country's national pride in regional once loans. but you swore his opponents during the campaign. you don't argue against that with one minister, one example being the power, montreal possession meter, matthew wildlife. we're essentially criticized mr. sort of all right, for beginning stadiums built in, not funding hospitals,

not building schools in argue that chinese a was not actually delivering the promise benefits. and if you look at the state of the solomon islands economy, it is one of the more under sell except for is in the world. poverty is pretty high, health care is lacking. you know, i think it's, there's something to be said. the chinese development has not delivered or kind of promised to talk here through that pocket novak from the atlantic council. thank you. thank you. the passenger traffic into one of the wells busiest international airports was disrupted again today by severe down for a right to buy in the united arab emirates was paid by a light, big storm, a boat, heavy showers in flooding to pots of the city. today's downfall come shortly after of reco breaking the balance of writing april experts have linked to climate change authorities cancel several flights from by international diversity arriving plains
