flooding thousands of homes. and the school to jackson says the cold, the highways, all sorts see an awesome to bring and excavate to break open the road and release the will to try and keep people safe and with other community members says he built this foot bridge so that at least pedestrians could still cross even when cause could not then came more rain and that was destroyed as well. rapid on regulated and development is blocked, waterways and streams of drainage. some people here say they've never known rains or floods like this before. scientists expect climate change to bring more extreme weather can use eye clinic to its destination. the mass i'm more of wildlife was of flooded when a river passed its banks. thousands of hotel workers and tourists had to be rescued . can use red cross that's come to help in many places,

people are asking why the government hasn't done more positives as p 0 zeros in room. the pope offered pres this year in order to transmit the i also wish to express to the people of canyon. my spiritual closeness at this time, a severe flooding has tragic a, taking the lives of many of our brothers and sisters. jackson says, a company was contracted to upgrade the bridge neighbors home 5 years ago, but it disappeared with the money. so he's trying to make the possible, at least until the next rain full malcom web. i'll just say right, can be county can. yeah. i'm not said from me or a client. i was in fact with more news here on al jazeera, that's off to the stream to stay with us. if you count the week to look at the world's top business storage, how much is the rebuilding going to cost and who pays from global markets?

and economies of small businesses have just started seeing inspection coming down and how it affects the lives. how big a problem is global food insecurity? counting the cost on o g a 0 from b n m per test to the will in vietnam and opposing a plus side. south africa, students have a long played a crucial role in liberation movements today and borrowing tied to speaking up for thomas fine. so why is sonia darcy with gauze a igniting campuses across the world? marian false walk. this is the street, the future. the

we are right now the victory when carla is free, us from japan to a stray via, via it's me, a young man. what started as an encumbrance at columbia university in new york 2 weeks ago has turned into a global student movement. the monday and universities divest from israel is this the peace movement of our generation? and can students succeed west so much?

public pressure has failed. joining me from the u. s. u. k and australia. to discuss this today, all 3 student organizes mood as of as a palestinian 1st year student at harvard university with the harvard out of occupied palestine, coalition, fraser, almost a ph. d student at the university of work with the work styles with palestine coalition. and yes, mean i love that we said you student at the university of sydney with the students for palestine group. welcome to you. oh, thank you so much for being a mom here. your joining us from harvard. can you tell us exactly what's happening on campus? right? now uh yeah, so basically on campus right now, we are having an cabinet where students are occupying the whole yard and of many that they will only leave until we have full disclosure of harvard developments, as well as a safe estimate from the student is rona is really redeem the moods are very high

right now. and community members are very strong and vigilant and remaining so fast of minds. so the, despite so much administrative impression just mean at the same question over to you that what's the situation in sydney? yeah, we've started our and cabinets here. uh, seeing what's been happening in the us wanting to send in support of the students are there who set up there and kept man um, and demand similar things for my university in order for them to cut tides with weapons companies that can place it in genocide in gaza so, so the university for example, has ties to this reference company tellers, which has done, you know, collaboration projects that have produced the drawings that are used on palestinians. so we want to see how university are and those ties with weapons

companies. uh, and it's rarely institutions in order to stop being a yeah complicit in the genocide happening right now. i'm afraid so your part of the fast and comment by a british university is the british student. we've been less politically engaged. oh, what kinds of unique challenges may be do you face as compared? maybe so your us counterparts when speaking out on palestine you well, i think, well, we haven't seen the same degree of violence and repressing the protests and threats . and that we have a columbia in austin and across the us. the british political repression and policing is most sophisticated in some ways. it's more okay, but we have something called to prevent strategy, for instance, original price that you pay universities and effectively criminalizes and problem and sizes. political speech that's on seeing fabulous target. some has been students and my goal is to how to waive of government progression. recent may new

legislation of districts, the right to protest which gave securities offices went to operate outside of the little button on the last whizzing students in the u. k. are starting to defy that . and i think in the coming days we're going to see an increasing wave of in commons across the country. in america, we've seen the snipers on campus rooftops and very heavy handed policing. but you've also faced all the forms of challenges haven't used in terms of boxing and threats of expulsion and of course, accusations of anti semitism. uh yeah, it has been uh very along campus. um, just over the last semester we have had docs and trucks come around on campus into students. parents, houses which were as incredibly frightening. but we've also had several degrees of repression, such as pro palestine proctors being evicted from their houses,

or also just having the currently right now i did cabinet students were occupying, are being passed, id slips that team that they were bigger, their degree will be with a held and to continue to occupy the yard right now. however, as i said earlier, students are still remain vigilant despite administration, taking disciplinary action and still say they will dedicate their time to occupy the space until our demands are met. to. well, let's say from cameron the lead, organize that for jewish voices, for peace at columbia. i'm in the 10th right now. it'd be encampments. i feel extremely, extremely safe. i'm just, i'm kept meant. so do my jewish brothers and sisters who are also on the list and came in. and we have not heard or seen any anti semitic rhetoric used on the encampment or used by people affiliated with it. if there is, by the way, that is and find some of that being said by outside those who are not on campus, we condemn that. but we didn't, we,

we have no control over what random individuals in new york city say or do we all we do know is that on this encampment on this campus, jewish students are standing with pro palestinian organizers and are involved in the fights. so yeah, i do believe that anti semitism is being weaponized by the university and by the government because the university wants to do anything in their power to take attention away from the ongoing genocide and gaza. and they will even exploits jewish trauma to get that to get that message across. just mean is jewish safety concerns to you and your colleagues on campus and how do you ensure it's given so much conflicting information concerning what is said to constitute jewish foods, including things like, you know, holding a palestinian flag. um yeah,

well our purchase have been extremely uh, inclusive of people of every face and every uh, new city and whatnot. um we've had your students camped alongside us here at sydney . we've had a jury speakers at every rally that we've put on and that i think that really indicates stress of the inclusivity of the palestine movement being present. that is for justice, it's against genocide. it's and 2 races and all of that. and i think, you know, the accusations i just used to deflect from the, you know, real things that we're fighting for, the real issues happening in palestine right now. my mood as a palestinian can i ask how you feel about so much media attention being placed on privilege, student safety during an ongoing genocide including that of course of palestinian

students. not nice since, of course, there was 3 probably send you an students show me an american campus back in november 2023 and not long. that was no loan officer, a 6 year old palestinian boy, and his mother was styled that the home in october last year. is there any discussion of palestinians safety happening on campuses? well yeah, there for sure is a definite issue of anti policy and racism. i mean, part of itself has its own issue with the department of education inside this country, opening an investigation to the school because they receive a very massive planes uh over the last semester. however, despite there being so much prejudice and racism that uses pallets means every day in this country, a lot of times we use degree and we have to motivate us to take action. i mean, if you just look at brown university after 3 of the men were shot just but we're

going to be speaking arabic. his sham was one of them. and he is a student at brown university and were afterwards to create a brand, a bus, coalitions demand brown university today, best them to is a state and also ensure that none of their money is going towards investments in genocide, occupation, or per site. you see the same thing over here with refreshing, really energizing people on campus. however, there always is a talk to ensure that does the image aspect going on over there right now, is the more more forefront of everything we do. we try doing that with having our, that programming circulate and surround so much about what the travesty is going on and gaza right now, as well as making sure to everyone on the ground is aware of what's, what's going on and committed to things that fast and dominion housed in liberation, now west and lising of privilege for the cause has been a big talking point on campuses. listen to this. the kids involved are just working

class hard working kids. there are your kids with the privilege. most of the kids have congress members and business exacts getting old breasted the that's a big deal. columbia university is where the next generation of leaders is supposed to be born. the next generation of oppressors. and now we have all of these young rich kids using their privilege to fight against the system. yeah. of course the systems freaking out. and that's not to say that there are students that are on that lawn right now. we're skiing, everything because there are. but a lot of those cues are weaponized in their privilege against the system that gave them that privilege frayza. i want to ask you, do you think that part of the tough response we're seeing from also ortiz around the well. so these protests is precisely because these all the sons and daughters often of important people who are expected to uphold the states is closed.

yeah, i think that that's definitely a factor in what's happening. but i think it speaks to the strength of tech, like with some authority movement that you have students like the and now being mobilized to take action. and university work is a savvy, prestigious institution and the k. and it's probably, it's tied as the most minute tries university and the u. k. and that position means that students taking an option has already conscious of the pilot, the disproportionate power that we have, and that we be able to name time. and i'm just me, i want to ask you what the wielding privilege look like at this current juncture as well. i think like the example here at sidney is that our university has this like model or that is leadership for good. and i think what they want is to turn all the

students into the future, you know, prime ministers, the future, you know, bosses and ceilings in the world. you know, people like the current prime minister of australia, graduated from city uni. i am sending out the easy, but i think what the student movement is about is kind of conducting condemning that kind of idea of leadership and actually us supporting and involving students in amazement that is about our fighting against oppression. that is leading of a struggle for uh, a free palestine. um, rather than all the other pathways that are university wants to take us through and well, most people will have had about the process at columbia. but have you heard of cal state polytechnic in humboldt because you should count state polytechnic in humboldt. they had a sit in one of the universities buildings and like they do,

the cops showed up and these protesters barricaded them out of the building. physically forced them out and set up barricades made of chairs, tables, the supplies around them. and i am so proud the students use the skills that we were forced to obtain because we were constantly in fear of being suddenly under attack. and for a lot of those students, they were, we're in america, someone in the building was working from experience somewhere in that building was at least one survivor. and it worked. they successfully fall off the bad guys with guns. my weird american students have basically been trained for revolts. i don't know necessarily if the trade will be the right word, but there is a saying that a laws, protesters use, which is the morris try of silence us the latter we will be. and that just goes to

show how the high degrees of repression dot be as college students every single day . even though people can be restricted from protesting with new protests guidelines such as harvard or people are not even allowed to set up chairs a will go to rest for that such as the university of florida last night were 9 people were arrested. and you can see that so many people utilize this repression and choose it to energize them, mobilize them, but also learn in future circumstances on how to train their new forms of protest. frayza in the us, we've seen some professes administration stuff and the university standing in solidarity with students and even getting arrested. is that a similar situation in the u. k? yeah, on combination is made up of students and stuff and we've been company together with them for months to get the university to be met or tries. and as soon as the

uncommon was set up on friday evening, we had lots of stock bringing down supplies and putting out tens, helping in every way they can and sorted out and see between students and staff that work right now is very, very tight. and we're also seeing members of the community come in, it's become a real heart of community solidarity. and families are bringing that kids and drawing pictures in solidarity with cause a. so we really seeing stuff step up and down with students. just mean the indigenous people of canada recently gave their approval to students to protest on the land of mcgill university. how does your own history and that the indigenous people of australia connect you to this movement? um, yeah, i mean, there is a lot of solidarity. uh, amongst uh, indigenous people here in australia with the struggle for a free palestine. i think it is, you know, struggle against races in

a struggle against, you know, the history of colonization here in australia. um and i think, yeah, like we want to constantly draw connections with the broader system of you know, astray, alien races in here that continues to see indigenous you know, incarceration rates be some of the highest in the world. continue to see uh, you know, industries, people are more likely to go to prison, then go to university. i think there's a problem of systemic racism and the lack of any sort of reparations being given to indigenous people here. and we always ask them in solidarity with that struggle. and in fact, here at sydney university, where i am right now is where the freedom arrived. i started that was in full

authority with what happened in the u. s. where i some sidney student. i took a boss across regional towns to draw attention to the issue of indigenous oppression and land. right. so it's kind of like, it's no longer one you mental a site protest. and i think that's which edition we're standing in is all of these historic 5 against injustice against races. and i'm in all of that now that has been some criticism online of how the process movement is being framed. take a look at this. yeah, i kind of don't like that student process of being labeled as he will. we are part of a liberation movements. the hash side isn't n y u for know it's n, y u for palestine is how our universities divest and palestine is free. the students will keep mobilizing mahmoud. we've seen some people on line describe this as a global student intifada. how do you define this movement?

well, personally, i definitely do like that name a lot. uh, i do think it describes whats going on on college campuses, which is communities coming together, a mobilizing and binding to be on the right side of the street. which is to have full disclosure. and i have estimate from the is always day to make sure palestine is free within our lifetimes. i mean, just when i ever i walk around and can't met on campus, there is such a strong community that staying vigilant, despite administration coming through the camp every single day and routinely checking ideas with routinely instruction in graduation. originally tracking to even a suspend students, or some students who are uh immigrants and who do not have a permanent visa, permanent residence inside the united states. they have, it says they've been threatened with a disciplinary action and they're ok despite the fact that they can literally be

deported by the university soon. so i think uh, colleges all across the country right now there they are mobilized before policy in liberation. first and foremost, at the forefront and uh, the, the amount of visualize i see personally as a pallet thing. it truly does keep the move in a live in it and keeps me going every single day to mobilize, but also to organize and just stay stuck fast. i want to ask you, oh uh, one by one. now about the objectives of this global movement phrase at what all the objectives of the movement as you understand it on what do palestinians sits in defining those objectives? a while and time and on time. pain is fast and full most inspired by the struggle with the palestinian people and the people gaza, way demanding the universe to divest and break all ties with on the companies. but it condemns the genocide occupation. the dispossession of the protestant in people

. but its idea is to help rebuild causes education sector and then it protects for each speech and some authority we palestine. and i think at the same time as seeing this and comment as part of the global palestine some dollar to movement. we also see how the struggle with the palestinian people is connected to the struggle for the press people against colonialism and how the war machine that's tested in gaza is deployed around the world by the united states and its allies to suppress liberation struggles. just mean, same question to you. is this an an anti war movement? liberation struggle. how do you define it and where the palestinians sits within that? um yeah. well i think uh, i think there isn't necessarily something mutually exclusive about fighting for palestinian liberation, but also fighting against for like a lot of the weapons companies that were demanding our university caught ties with

are also complicit in, you know, trading the weapons used by the australian military that have deployed them there in when they joined the invasions of iraq and afghanistan. so i think we want to fight against these arms companies in order to not only see like an end to the genocide happening in gaza. but the n a future genocide and any future war on that sees you know, our government and have a compromise across the world, put their own interest uh, their imperialist interest. beyond the interest of ordinary people and my marriage as a public standing in yourself. how do you feel about the fact this issue is igniting us campuses? i'm global campuses. uh yeah. like i said earlier, it truly does where my heart, i mean, just talking to my mother uh the other day and she was a organizer for policy and the ration in her time as well. uh,

she told me she would never expected such a global student move at that bites her policy in liberal. ready in to the extent where it is right now, but i mean, truly i feel like just what, what this movement in general, it does show how students are now changing their believes and how there's been so much design as propaganda. the past is being disrupted. i mean, students who are in universities right now will eventually obtain jobs will that eventually obtain places of power within their lives. but i truly hope that this ends up would change uh to the is, is all your team and for that, for the quantization and occupation of palestine. and it will be free in our life time because of the student move man, because people have shown are solitary to palestinians and stood on the right side of history with postilion demand, the liberation for their land. well, one thing we have had from student process is we spoken to is the need to sense of palestinians. so let's end this discussion by hearing from father ahmad,

a student from gaza, who was doing a degree in media before these radius sold dramatically, changed her life over to you for the fight. it gives it the media which had be in the exam. in the case might be on the i day and fees and on my life once before before. so i will give you a big box, i think go ahead recipe, your best convenience and they, i go through it, but now you know, my message doesn't well, it's just of the lord and a, i think the amount of was, well just some on the warning doesn't so i wanna thank you

all guess my mood phrase a and yes mean and of goals. thank you for watching all you part of the global student movement. we want to hear from you. send us your contents, getting taught to using the hash tag or to handle a very stream. and we will look into it, say wait for us to always have inside the world. people pay attention to this one here. and i'll just see this very good that bringing the news to the world from here. 11 days that ended more than 60 young live in may 2021. the powerful testimony of palestinian families in gaza. as they remember, the children killed during the is really bombing 3 years ago.

11 days in may. all i'll just say are the,

[000:00:00;00] the is really strikes head civilian homes and southern gone. so at least 6 palestinians have been killed the laura carl, this is ours. is there a life from the also coming up but a see me in the discovery. gaza will press freedom prize is
