universe, a tempest calling in police to deal with students agree with one side or the other in israel is war against thomas and gaza, as well as the faith 5, many of the protest as, according for the institutions to withdraw investments from israel. but why are universities making these investments in the 1st place? i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day the seem pretty liberal with their, their 1st at the times and the big fields. hi. this is a place to have a 3 exchange of ideas. the people are purchasing peacefully. i believe that, you know, that's right, that we have the year when you,

when you stand up for dies. uh, this is what happens also coming up. the european union offers levon on a 1000000000 euros in a to try and stop the flow of syrian refugees into your this after you remember cyprus complained about boatloads. refugees from the bottom of the long icon. stay here against the wind, low phillip, a nice mobile out of sort of down with i don't know what to do, but honestly the fun is i'm not that i going i may try to leave for another country that are we, i'm on no bucks a month i know i have no other choice but has to go through a legal migrant both. welcome to the de us president joe biden has spoken hours about the pro palestinian student protests that have been spreading to you and invest is around the country. as the president said, the order must prevail, loss of demonstrations defied calls to disband, and in some cases became violent. oh, this is a police cleared,

becomes the process, the success of upside being the university of california in los angeles. as the demonstrators flashed with counter protest, this will not be sold present by the said, the protest would not influence in case policy on the war and gaza until you defended the student's rights to protest while making clear. but the freedom of speech has its limits. we've all seen the images and they put through the test for 2 fundamental american principles, excuse me. the 1st is the right to 1st page and 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 squash 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 because in 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 for the present. donald trump, of course, the price, the white police cleared the 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 man's as being the universe is cut the tides to company who do business with these, right? the military or supplies or even with is right partnerships all together. so just as a round, you invest in providence, rhode island,

celebrated after the school agreed to meet the student representatives to consider the investment. 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 is an assistant professor of educational studies that to davidson college in north carolina who specializes in higher education financing policies. welcome to d. w. what i'm looking at this story. one of the 1st questions that strikes me is why, why are universities investing in israel? so universities are invested in lots of different things, just like an american for a one 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 the re,

services that 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 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, the way you explain to you explain it as 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 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 petro 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 ended thing apartheid us students were protesting for that very event reality. 10 years prior. yeah, i was gonna told you about that. i was one of the students, not in the us, but in the u. k. who, who was protesting against the investment, and one of the big targets was barclays bank and in the u. k. uh, back then the 3040 years ago when they eventually did come out of south africa, there were lots of reasons given button. the fact that they played down the effect of, of student a protest. i wonder how effective you think that would be covered and protests are

likely to be, you know, actually 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 on prime minister netanyahu yahoo, in israel, we know that i can amik 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 pain students may be asking for divestment, but what they really want is a ceasefire in israel. and as, as far as we know now they've gone to 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 around the corner or the academic year is almost over. can students keep that attention after graduation it's yet to be seen. but

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 before they the how mazda is attacks on israel are finally now getting some traction with a very specific targeted huntsville. that's a fascinating inside chris mossey on it from davis and collars. thank you so much. thank you for having me feel. it's been a pleasure one and to david is stopping it's business dealings with is riley's trucking, which is suspended to try it with the country. a statement by to his trade ministry said, is it taking the decision due to what it call the worst thing humanitarian tragedy in the palestinian territories, they went on to say it will less betray bound when there is a uninterrupted flow of 8 into gaza. earlier israel's foreign minister blamed turkeys present, ventured type, oh do i and said the decision breaks trade agreements,

you posted the statement of the social media network acts saying this is how i dictate that behavior. disregarding the interest of the tech people, businessman and ignoring international trade agreements of the 11 on a set to receive its $1000000000.00 a package from the e. u, as it's just as, as it is a to tackle illegal migration. speaking in by routes you chief us it off on the line, said the block would provide a 1000000000 euros to lebanon and be 10 fold up. and on timing exposure, she's meeting with the prime minister and that team because a, as well as the president of a new member, cyprus, because of its location in the mediterranean city. cypress is dealing with a shop increase in the number of syrian refugees arriving by boat from lebanon. does not be the you for months to extend aid to level 11 on a home to more than $2000000.00 syrians over half of who entered the country

illegally. that put on itself is in the middle of his worst, and the economic crisis of many lebanese, say, the number of savings in that country is making the situation worse. favorite bureau chief, muhammad shots a report, and a warning. you may find some of the images and he's report distressing. the fresh wave of fury at syrians in liberty on this time it looks much more serious. the recent mother of lou concussion party official, allegedly at the hands of the court jackson gang of syria measurements, passed through gun violence and victory. all that syrians independent, including displaced refugees of the flood war torn syria 10 years ago. now he feels being displaced again. this time from living on the bottom of the novel room and we are afraid can barely sleep at night, but there's

a 100. we'll see that every time someone knocks at the door and we fear that someone has come to attack us, do not. i'm unable to go to work or to the supermarket did after not lose. i can't leave home nonsense and i've been there. i've been receiving threats, demanding. i leave the neighborhood within 5 days. this is where should i go to manage all? that's what comes to your 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 back to as are falling 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, a few syrians have lived in this neighborhood together with the minis mean the christians. but now the civilian run, 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 replaced this. they come in to 11 and legally and are increasingly committed crimes and murders and online move federal sodium. i want them out in any way possible. i mean, i just want them out i a moment little they took our jobs and disrupted our lives that the lecture like that, but a lot higher than that. i don't know. so we have a legal status going to stay, but those are here illegally should leave for the tracking them is not acceptable under pressure by independence. economy collapse and the country's political paralysis deal thought it to use are echoing the sentiments, have not gotten our political edge, the security closest and the police to family, and strictly implemented lebanese low on the syrian refugees. a different hosts, the great this 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 equivalent of nearly 38000000 refugees in germany. and some 163000000 refugees,

the united states of america. the sort of numbers are very significant in the context of depend on security and power. shedding months of the vast majority of that, i could use our sunni muslims, that has been viewing fears of a huge demographic in balance in a country with christians. and most of them share 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 very 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 that, oh yeah, i'm on no bucks a month. i know i have no other choice, but has it go through in the gold migrant focus 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 pledge to continue following policies of ever close the ties with china. of the solomon islands occupying a strategic position, northeast 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 state of the telecommunications network. because parking novak isn't in the pacific. joe politics experts with the atlantic council, a think tank, he joins us from washington, d. c, a welcome to the w. let's start with y b u. s. and china cass so much

about who leads this tiny little chain of islands of the east coast of papua new guinea and north of australia. ste. yeah, between 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 vocations are and know, 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 pel ago. it was a lot of interest from outside powers. and ultimately, if you're 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 phone. okay, so the previous prime minister i grabbed the world's attention when he signed the security deal with china back in 2022. and the new guy jeremiah ne,

late 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, solved already made during the election campaign that mister mcveigh like fathers on with them made in the campaign and argue, was that a lining 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. we're 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 song of our administration. and we can expect that broadly speaking to continue. right, so it's coming from from what you from but 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 or 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 saga of are also so i by securing additional development aid from china that he wouldn't be able to exercise influence over how was the spence and 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 are, we don't 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 really depends on who you ask. you know, there's a lot of folks that 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 of you've since seen the united states, for example, kind of m a c. and on the are,

you see increased or still in development. 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 percent. and i think they may see a sliver of opportunity with the new prime minister, despite being points to probably continue the countries look north for an awesome. okay, so playing, playing at both sides of the games each other off solomon islands is baffled, likely to look around didn't i don't know, 2 years for years, 10 years time is like, oh look, we've got add port schools shops, houses, and they got 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 benefit economic benefits. that the infrastructure, se for the pacific games was bolstering and the country's national pride in regional, once loans, but use for his opponents during the campaign. you know,

argue against that. with one minister, one example being the parliamentary opposition, major, matthew wildlife. we're essentially criticized mister sort of all right. we're getting stadiums built and not funding hospitals, not building schools in argue that chinese a was not actually delivering the promise benefits. and if you look at the say that the solomon islands economy, it is one of the more under sell except for his 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 hard promised to talk through that pocket nova 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 port of rights to buy in the united arab emirates was paid by a light dig, stalled boat heavy showers and flooding to pots of the safety. today's downfall

come shortly after i've reco ranking, the balance of writing april experts have linked to climate change authorities cancel the several flights from the by international diversity arriving plains to other destinations. meanwhile, ponts of india have recorded the hottest april on record as the, as i see, to a score choose the country. indians are braving the ceiling, hate to vote in the general election. but there are growing concerns that rising temperatures may deter people from going to the polls. that's all in india and its ongoing elections off feeling the heat water. so hydration umbrella associate here in india is capital valley. it's not all that bad, but of course you can see what's an ice cream then does every with 10 projects. yeah. still below 40 degrees celsius. but in the country, south and east. the moment has a tough thing at 45 degrees. and use outlets have even reported about several just
