life, but it does help the poor people like us live and instead but in a small texas. so that'd be gone to you've agreed. prime minister should battery has been clear the tax times economy can't survive without another long term biomass baylash, which he hopes to get in the next few months. to do that, the government has been pressing ahead with i am f demands, including tax hikes and an increase in domestic energy bills. the agency says reforms are essential for stabilizing pakistan's debt strapped economy. people at this market and it's not about and across pakistan. likely take on those costs for the a car, which is here. how does the new christians in ok party stories. lemme preparing for orthodox east us and many say this is celebrations. will be subdued because of one cause a is there any restrictions? i'm destitution, orthodox christians and occupied east jerusalem are preparing for the annual

commemoration of what they believe was the resurrection of jesus christ. like other holidays during israel's war on gonzo orthodox easter celebrations are scaled back this year. a tour guide tells us ordinarily this time of year would be the peak season for visitors. it shouldn't be loaded by people now, but simply due to the situation, we've got nothing. as a pull guard, i've got no work, nothing to do. and we're still logging as much as we can in previous years, the streets have been packed with thousands of people. now they're deserted. are typically around 862200000 children's are in the old city for orthodontics, east or celebrations. but like other holidays this year, facilities are muted over shadowed by the. busy are on gaza, palestinian christian say the war is into the only challenge they face. this is

something they will celebrate. the only lights are monique, and we celebrate it with many uh, restrictions influenced by the is rarely police were worshippers in the christians . we will be able to reach the church as we used to do in the, in the past this year, no palestinians from the occupied westbank, oregon's a strip will be allowed into the city to pray. but despite to be, is really restrictions, palestinians say they remain hopeful because easter is a celebration of new beginnings. have the central edges eat all occupied east jerusalem palestine. okay, that's it for me, molly. inside the nice continuous hit on al jazeera of to the street, the voters in panama are preparing to elect a new president on may. 5th at the front run,

their former leader. these kind of them have to natalie has been disqualified after being convicted of the money laundering. there are frustrations about poverty, environmental damage, and economic decline. so how will panamanians beside the future stay without just us for the latest on panama general elections? from vienna, in parts us to the will in vietnam and opposing apostrophe in south africa. students have long played a crucial role in duration movements today and rolling tire is speaking of the time is fine. so why is sonia darcy with gauze a igniting campuses across the wild? marian falls. this is the screen, the future as possible.

the we'll see right now. the 2nd victory is free us from japan to a stray via, via, it's me, i'm human. what started as an incumbent 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 mahmoud as of as a palestinian 1st year student at harvard university with the harvard out of occupied palestine, coalition. frayza, i'm off 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're a student at the university of sydney with the students for palestine group. welcome to you all. 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, a vigilant and remains the fast of mind. 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 their and cap 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 i 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 and well, i think, well, we haven't seen the same degree of violence in 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, which operates at u. k. universities and effectively criminalizes and problem sizes . political speech that's on seeing fabulous target. some has been students,

and my goal is to how the wave of the government oppression 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 entitlements across the country. in america, we've seen the snipers on campus rooftops and very heavy handed policing. but you've also face other 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 in trucks come around campus into students, parents, houses which were as incredibly frightening. but we also have 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 they 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. 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 rep that is and paid 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 and cabinet on this campus, jewish students are standing with pro palestinian organizers and are involved. busy in the fight, 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 food is including things like, you know, holding

a palestinian flag. um yeah, well our purchase have been extremely 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 just 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 use 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 students safety during an ongoing genocide including that of course of palestinian students. not nice, as 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 for, 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 know 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 event programming, circulate and surround so much about what the travesty is going on and gaza right now. as well as making sure that everyone on the ground is aware of 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 kids 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 of our team movement that you have students like that the and now being mobilized to take action and university work is a savvy prestigious institution in 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 c, r is in the world. you know, people like the current prime minister of australia. graduated from city uni. i am sending out from easy but, 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. um, 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 and

humbled. they had to sit in and one of the universities buildings and like they do, the cops showed up and these protestors barricaded them out of the building. physically forced them out and setup 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 heard american students have basically been trained for revolt. 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 a set of 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 ad administration stuff and the university standing in solidarity with students and even getting arrested. is that a similar situation in the u. k? yeah, combination is made up of students and stuff and we've been company together with

them for months. they've got 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 at 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 and 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 reparation 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, since any, any 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 for disclosure. and they've 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, this, the amount visualize i see personally as a pallet thing. it truly does keep the movement alive and it, and keeps me going every single day to mobilize, but also to organize and just stay stuck fast. i want to ask you, 0, one by one. now about the objectives of this global movement phrase, what are 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 suppressed 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 we have a compromise across the world, put their own interest uh, their imperialist interest, beyond the interest of ordinary people and my mood as a palestinian yourself. how do you feel about the fact this issue is igniting us campuses? i'm global campuses. uh yeah. like i said earlier, a truly does where my heart, i mean, just talking to my mother the other day. and she was the organizer for policy and

the ration in her time as well. and she told me she would never expected such a global student move in that fights for policy in liberal. ready in to the extent where it is right now, but i mean, truly i feel like just with 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 and 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 the, 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 or solved, or to post any ends and stood on the right side of history with postilion demand, the liberation for their land. well, one thing we have had from student processes 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, father. hello, and for the, i guess it doesn't, the media which had be in the in the case might be on the i the day and fees and on my life once before before. so i will give you credit because i think go ahead recipe your best convenience and they, i go through it, but now i have a know my message doesn't. well, it's just of the lord and a i think the amount of was

a board some on the warning done to i want to thank you all guess my mood phrase a and yes mean of goals. thank you for watching all you part of the global student movement. we want to hear from you. send us your content getting taught to using the hash tag or to handle a very stream, and we will look into it. stay away and i'll see you in depth analysis of the days headlines, the failure to free the captive still being held by him. i ask how difficult a moment is this for the prime minister netanyahu is trying to stay in definitely as 5 minutes to the know the to stay possibly out of j. frank assessments. how to relations decline between the media and the united states of america. the crux of the matter is, is choice of ministry partners,

and specifically russia inside story. on al jazeera, 2 era writers from different countries, but with much in common, plaintiff says so a palestinian resistance poets jailed for his left wing views, his poetry. what's the width and he used to fight the whole world and saw something sort of a syrian professor who lots of behind the scenes. there wasn't a secret movement in lebanon, syria, how this going to the rock. that constantine was not behind rebel writers, palestine and syria on that which is 0. which is era brings you in depth analysis for the so comply take. now what has been exposed to many of those companies that failed so miserably on that day. they said residency fail us selling and testing with anything down. so as we speak, these really speak every one's know we're giving each don't finish and know the fact that each route is at the international court of justice shows how much deeper

than nothing you on this goes nothing you on whose success it may be better, maybe was but it's the one has to address that suspended. stay with us for the latest developments on out. just sierra the, [000:00:00;00] the hello i'm of office and this is the news on live from dell. how coming up in the next 16 minutes, there's famine, full blown famine in the north, and it's moving its way south to talk to you and official warns of a guy as you might, is having a situation unfolding in northern garza while civilian struggle to find food is there any strikes target displaced palestinians in rock farm across garza,
