4:04 am
demonstrators have clashed with counter protest, this will have the full present bible set. the protests will not influence in case policy on the warrant garza and to defend the students' rights to protests 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 principal, 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 squash to set. there should be no place on any campus. no place in america for enter semitism, or threats of violence against jewish students. there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind. present vibe? no, sir, said he didn't believe the national guard ought to be called in,
4:05 am
but he's preservative republican challenger and this is election in november for my present. donald trump, of course, the price, the white police cleared the columbia university in new york saying 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. this cut that ties to company to do business with these, right? the military or supplies or even with is right partnerships all together. protest is a round you invest in providence. rhode island, celebrated after the school agreed to meet the student representatives, to consider that investment. and we send students agree to dismantled and protests
4:06 am
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 4 o one k retirement account, they invest broadly. so that they can have returns in 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?
4:07 am
it just depends on what you think of as an investment in israel. students are called ling for the investment from what is manufacturers divestment from is 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, and it's the 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 though this is normal. 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 that happened around fossil fuel
4:08 am
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, and one of the big targets was barclays bank and in the u. k. uh, back then that 3040 years ago, when they eventually did come outs of south africa, there were lots of reasons given button that they 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.
4:09 am
far less likely than getting universities and university constituencies to press put pressure on the bottom administration and our 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 and israel. and as, as far as we know now they've gone and 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 of the academic year is almost over. can students keep that attention after graduation? it's yet to be seen. be interested in your thoughts on a couple of, of different responses to these uh,
4:10 am
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 around
4:11 am
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 the from davis and congress. thank you so much . thank you for having the fellow. it's been a pleasure one and to david is stopping it's business savings we have is rarely stuckey, which is suspended to try it with the country. statements by to his trade ministry said if it taking the decision due to what it call the worsening 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 o, i'm and said the decision breaks trade agreements, you posted the statement on the social media network acts saying this is how i dictate that behavior. disregarding the interest of the turkish people,

4:13 am
and many lebanese, say, the number of syrians 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 celia's in liberty on this time it looks much more serious. the recent mother of lucas christian party official, allegedly at the hands of the court jacking gang of syria nationalists passed through goods violence and victory. all that syrians independent, including displaced, refugees, a sled war torn syria 10 years ago. now he feels being displaced again. this time from living on the bottom of the marble room and we are afraid and barely sleep at night. but there's a 100. we'll see that every time someone knocks at the door and we fear that
4:14 am
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 months as in paul f as a i've been receiving threats, demanding. i leave the neighborhood within 5 days. that was 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. 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, a few syrians have lived in this neighborhood together with the minis, mainly christians. but now the syrian 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 into 11 and illegally and are increasingly committed crimes and murders and online move federal free am.
4:15 am
i 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 about the lecture like that. but like how you like to live? i don't know. those who have a legal status can stay, but those are here illegally should leave for the attacking them is not acceptable under pressure by independence. economy collapse and the country's political paralysis utilities are echoing the sentiments that got in the political edge, the security forces, and the police to family, and strictly implemented lebanese low on the syrian refugees. a different and host the great this number of refugees per capita of any country into what more than 2000000 students and live in on form 45 percent of the population. this would be equivalence of nearly 38000000 refugees in germany. and some 163000000 refugees in the united states of america. these sort of numbers are very
4:16 am
significant in the context of depend on security and power. shedding months of the vast majority of the refugees are sunni muslims. that has been feuding fears of a huge demographic imbalance 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 partition of the syrian refugees? pushing many of them towards choices that is making udall very nervous. a lot of 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 thing is i'm not that that i had going. i may try to leave for another country head or yeah, i'm on no bucks a month. i know i have no other choice, but has it go through in the go to migrant focus on, on the with on word migration, tweak it holds up to for each dangerous c journeys to you will only increase
4:17 am
lawmakers in the solomon islands have picked a new prime minister, an election that was closely watched by the pacific's major powers, jeremiah the name of a as a form 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, 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 infrastructures to the items. australia has traditionally being the occupant of going to the biggest donor, but china is catching up and has constructed roads, a sport stadium, and the telecommunications network. because parking novak isn't in the pacific geo politics, experts with the atlantic council, a think tank, he joins us from washington. d. c, a. welcome to the w. let's talk with y b u. s. and china cash. so much
4:18 am
about who leaves 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 political implications for 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 is, you know, pal 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 there a price of the song? 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 manila looks like he's going to continue these countries that china
4:19 am
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. others on 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, whilst mississauga vall, right, was well known for his embrace of china. it was the republican floor, were leaning about it. mister mcnaly was his foreign ministry for 5 years. and he was ultimately a key architect to the deal. but one of the folks who spearheaded it during the
4:20 am
sort of our administration, and we can expect that broadly speaking to continue. right? so it's coming from, from what you 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 yeah, but 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 what mr. salzar a wasn't office the worst. 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 mister sagar, i also saw 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 old power at home and when the election, which, you know, you had mixed results on. obviously he's not returning his prime minister,
4:21 am
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 when we dropped the bull here, i 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 whether it happened unnoticed or noticed really depends on who you ask. you know, there's a lot of folks who make arguments in 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 both western countries off you've since seen the united states, for example, the embassy and on the are, you see increased are still in development, asian, economic aid,
4:22 am
and need 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 looking north for an awesome. okay. so playing, playing at both sides of the games each other off, solomon islanders 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 or is 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 states for the pacific games was bolstering the country's national pride in regional once loans but use for his opponents during the campaign. you know, argue against, that was the one minister, one example being the parliamentary opposition,
4:23 am
major matthew wildlife. we're essentially criticized mr. 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 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. so that's pocket nova from the atlantic council. thank you. once 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 lightning stones, a boat heavy showers, and flooding to pots of the safety today's downfall come shortly after of reco breaking the balance of writing april experts have linked to climate change
