2:32 pm
a week. now it's calm and peaceful. and the university administrators and protest leaders are engaged in dialogue. was been unique about like our situation here is that we started meeting with the negotiators almost like since day one. and a 1st, obviously they were opposed to what our demands were and we restrict that our demands. we're not going to fulton our demands. and so we, we did a counter them like demand back and we said we send it to them. and now it's on the table, which is um, which is actually like big they're considering our demands and we're still waiting to hear. here you see irvine, they say they'll keep this in cameron up until their demands are met. and it appears that that pressure isn't working because at another university you see riverside about an hour away from here, protesters, they're actually reach an agreement with the university university agreed to all 5 of the protesters demands, including considering divesting,
2:33 pm
for many companies that deal with israel the encampment at u. c. riverside was then voluntarily taken down in celebration protesters here at u. c. irvine are hoping for the same gabriel's on the out just either irvine, california police in new york and clear to come and have a rest it at least for the student demonstrates as teresa, both as more i'm here in front of a use quotes in new york city, and this is a place where over 20 students where were rested on friday in the building. right across another at least 20 students were detained right there. they were taken to a police station not far away from where we are. they have sets up running complement here. this is just one of the universities we're students have been protesting here in new york. let's talk to some of the students who have been participating in this protest that we're seeing here in new york city and across the country. many of them have been detained. joining me now is no us to you. i know which know you were detained because you were protesting, demanding
2:34 pm
a ceasefire, demanding, and then to investment the investments that the universities carry out and companies profiting from the war. tell us what happened to you. yeah, so i was actually detained on um, april 22nd. so not friday yesterday. i wasn't doing much early, but i've been supporting the new school and came and every day since. and um, it was really upsetting for me to come here and see that and what you had taken down the entire encampment and had arrested by at noon on friday of 43, peacefully protesting students. what happened to you? what was it like to be detained? it was, it was very fine for me. i mean, you know, the officers arresting, use a lot of violent force and i still have to march the show, always placed in middle cost. so put on so tight. i lost the feeling in my thumb and still have temporary nerve damage, which, you know, aside from what, what, how do you think this focus will continue? well, meaning compliments wherever moves from here,
2:35 pm
students detains. what happens next? i believe that there is a slight discouraging feeling with that, but there is a lot of hope and that you know, the students are united from columbia to and while you, to the new school, the students are united and we will continue to stand up for each other, thank you very much. so this is the situation on the ground. students have been protesting all across new york city in different universities. they have been arrested many of them have been corrupt, harassed, but in spite of that they say that they will continue on the streets demanding an end to the world. as a very simple, i just see that new york, or reminder of the version user miserable following these really government has ordered the closure of all to 0 operations itself to the cabinet, voted unanimously in favor of the decision. now layer in april view is ready, parliament has approved a law that allows the government to bind broadcast channels that considers a threat to national security. the news agencies reuters is reporting that i'll
2:36 pm
just see it as chief for israel. and palestine and territories is calling the is really closure decision, dangerous, and political. it's also reporting the doctors. here's legal team is preparing a response to the as really closure decision volume. and on con, is all corresponding and occupied east jerusalem. and he preemptively recorded his final message in case of a potential band. the government has now unanimously ordered the closure of the incitement mouthpiece of a moss and israel l. g 0, the mouthpiece of homos. anyone who incites against the state of israel to anyone who harms the security of israel and the soldiers fighting for the id. yes. will no longer broadcast to your from is real and the equipment will be confiscated. you know, that was how long we call a the, the is, or the ministry of communications talking about the decision that has been taken out there. and as i mentioned before, and we're on con, is our correspondent, unoccupied, east jerusalem. part of the teams there he had recorded a final message in case solve
2:37 pm
a potential band. if you're watching this pre recorded report that al jazeera has been banned in the territory of israel on april, the 1st the connected these ready pub in postal. that allowed the problem is that to ban out is there a, he's now inactive that low. let me just take you through some of the definitions with in the low. they've banned a website, including anything that has the option of entering or accessing the website, even passwords that needed, whether they paid or not. and whether it's stored on is rarely serviceable outside it as well. the website is now and accessible. they're also buying any device right, used for providing content. so that includes my mobile phone. if i use that to do any kind of news gathering, then these ratings can simply confiscated are into the access provided the guy that simply hopes out is there a dot net is also in danger of being find if they host the website
2:38 pm
the out is there a tv channel completely band transmissions by any kind of content provider as well, so band and holding offices or operating them in the territory of israel by the channel. both i, once again, any device is used to provide content for the channel can be taken away by the israelis. it's a wide ranging band. we don't know how long it will be in place full, but it does cover this territory of the state of israel and run cost out is there a occupied east? jerusalem was able to solve his joining his life from ramallah and the occupied westbank. as i understand it, zane correct me if i'm wrong, we still don't yet know if it is a timeline for this and what action if any is likely to be taken. if it is, talk to us about the kind of impact it's going to have on the reporting that you and the rest of our teams are able to do as well in terms of our teams in israel proper in the occupied east jerusalem areas where israel has passed this law,
2:39 pm
we know that that directly affects them the. ready impact is immediate, but here in the occupied westbank so far it does not affect us. it does not impact us from what we understand. so we're continue to carry on with business as usual, but certainly if israel wants to, we can reach out and touch anybody at once whenever it wants to severely as it. once we've seen that in the number of raids that have been going on in places like from a deep inside the city and a number of other urban centers, not just in towns and villages and in places near refugee camps or otherwise, whenever the is really military wants it can come and do whatever it wants to whomever wants, whenever it wants to be seen. them comes close to the street in front of this very building. there's a monument there dedicated to shooting. never luckily, a journalist for the old 0 arabic channels who was killed in a targeted attack, biased. ready the soldiers, 2 years ago, they were, they were seen laughing and joking in front of that monument, taking selfie. so their reach is broad. we have to remind people that this is an area under military occupation. so military law prize applies the normal rules of
2:40 pm
conduct. organizations like ours, their normal rules of press freedom. we really don't have that under a military occupation. i just want to read to you uh, something that just came in in the last hour or so from an era member of the connected of my to be. he said that israel has been targeting origins here, and it's journalist for a long time and decided to close the channel because it does not want the truth to be published. and that really does give you a sense of what we do, what our work is. it is really a network that exist in large part because of the a norm this vacuum for decades of balance reporting on this conflict of one sided reporting by western media outlets by news channels from europe in north america. there really wasn't enough coverage about exactly what was being done to palestinians and about the palestinian side of the story, especially the palestinian civilian side of the story. so our concern now is that that action will once be brought back into place as a part of this conflict. and we won't be able to speak to the people whose voices,
2:41 pm
we are mission focused on putting out to the international audience as they can just talk to us about the kind of stories that you in the west bank and also our teams and, and the oxide east jerusalem have been reporting on over the last few days or so as well. i can point to something that we did just yesterday. we went to a small town, a village, really, ne of to cut them know to come. the region is no stranger to file into is really raise the can carry on for hours, sometimes days targeting policy and resistance fighters, but also collective punishment, harassing civilian communities, destroying homes of people accused of carrying out attacks or being involved in some way in the palestinian resistance, so collective punishment, constant rates, harassment throughout the night, all day long. this region is no stranger to it, but there was assumed village where we were yesterday. they say they've never seen anything like it. it was a mass of military rate carried out by israel for 15 hours,
2:42 pm
and they were hunting down a handful of her mazda affiliated posting of resistance fighters in the west bank. they say now what happened there was they used rocket launchers, they use modern industrial strength urban warfare. these really military going into the small town occupying houses, starting into one building and then leveling it. one man said that i've seen this play out on tv. i've seen this happening and gaza for months for years. this is the 1st time i've seen it up close right next to my house. so the experience of that community is something that no one else really would have documented. we were the only international news channel there, and there were other local news crews there. and they reported being shot at by snipers when they were on rooftops trying to film what was happening. there was also seeing video showing them come under attack as well as have tear gas fired on them for simply doing their jobs. we have to remind people, these are on arms. civilian story tellers that are going to go report on these rates coming under fire by the israeli military. then as i mentioned before,
2:43 pm
we're still trying to find out some of the details about this decision that is being taken by the cabinet. but i'll just see it is not going to be the only media outlets. it's going to be effective that are going to be all those affected as well . so there must be concerns amongst journalists that you've been talking to you and the teams there about the change and the media landscape if you're like, and israel or that is correct in terms of the palestinian reporters. we speak to as well as reporters that are based in israel is really reporters international journalist. this is something that affects the industry at large. now we have to remind our viewers that in the early months of the war and gaza, a large number of western news outlets all signed up to an open letter to egypt to the government in cairo and to israel, saying that they wanted unfettered access into garza to be able to provide impartial, independent reporting. that is an there was an open letter given to both governments
2:44 pm
and the requests of that letter to go into god's independently has yet to be met. now in terms of what happens to reporters here, our office is documented exactly how many attacks take place to get started on journalist has been 50 since the war on god's will begin. at least. we've had a 135 meter workers across the industry killed since the war began. but on a monthly basis, there are dozens of attacks against use reporters against media workers across the country across the occupied westbank and is really territory on a monthly basis by the israeli military. so this is just the latest impact on media freedom in this story. and in this region, it is something that it will certainly be of concern to really the entire industry saying thank you very much indeed. same. so i'll be talking to some of them on that in the occupied of westbank with the move to bind. i'll just need a comes as diplomatic efforts to reach a cease for audio between israel, a homicide underway in egypt, and
2:45 pm
a statement of homicides political liter as well. yeah. says that the group is still keen, honestly as far deal is demanding a guaranteed withdrawal of israeli troops from jobs or the thought of sitting in groups reiterated that it was a permanent end to the war in johnson to leave while is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu it has rejected thomas's demand for an end to israel's mere 7 months forward, and garza in exchange for captives held in gaza. and that's in yahoo says that any into the war would keep on us in power in gaza and pose a threat to israel. we're going to costa honey, my mother is joining us not from the girlfriend in the southern gaza. let me ask you about that statement from us. first of all, what more do we know about that, tony? well the, the statement was issued within the past hour and it clearly stated got how much position in front of the ongoing clocks and negotiations in cairo for us, the potential ceasefire due of how much better to clear that they are keen on
2:46 pm
getting us the as far as receiving a ceasefire deals what they describe as an honorable deal that will lead into a deep release of palestinians of prison inside is really detention centers into prison and exchange of captive inside the gaza strip house and and on. it's hard to blaming nathan yell for delaying the the, the delegation to send the delegation. they've really got to get into the carrier to continue the negotiations that are using him of, of using that as a way to prolong this ongoing work for the for souls 1st element. meaning he wants to stay in power at the expense of achieving a meaningful. it'd be like an enter. the word also insist on the 4 major demands that chief among them is the return of all how a city and display from the southern parts to their homes. in the northern part of newfound dishes or withdrawal of this really, i mean from the theory of junction. and that,
2:47 pm
that means how is this like how the thing is and not have to go through the check point. the set of bites is really monetary and also an end to the word. that is seems to be the one core issue that is really prime minister does not want to show any signs of, of, of, of flexibility or, or slowing down on this demand. he sees, sees it as that as something that will prevent what he described as the total victory. and it also gives him the upper hand in continuing with the operation and of how much. and it's part insist that an indoor is the only reasonable, meaningful step forward for a meaningful as these fired deal. and how do you mean while ago was for the attacks are continuing? i understand that is really media is reporting not to be caught them abo, so i'm crossing with god that has not been close to age rocks after it came under fire. what can you tell us about that and the other attacks that have been going on in the last few hours?
2:48 pm
this is what is written by this or put out a statement describing what happen. a carnival solomon was saying as the talk by, by barrage of rockets then murder shows have been fired. the crossing itself is with with siding if 3 people have been injured inside the crossing of the 40 to the statement. but in, in, in response to that, the ongoing constant artillery still has been going on for the past hour or so with, along with the, a drones are in the area hovering at a very low. busy level and talking, what does really one very describe as targeted sites that within the vicinity of garden level asylum. and so they're all that you reported a report about, here's the rug that took place and it vicinity, right. what's the, the negative impact of what's going on is the, the closure of the crossing itself. it's one of the, the points that being used within the past events, not very much being used because the, the traffic over humanitarian, it's products of commercial trucks have been very slow at this for the right now
2:49 pm
we've seen a complete a closure as a result of the exchange of fire and the attacks by the murder shows and lock it. and also these really response that seems to be a quite the quite a strong right now on it. thank you very much. indeed. honey mcmillan bring us up to date from the rough. i in southern gaza. ok, miles out is a political analyst on contributor to 100 cities basically is what it is really a folded his crude contact him for talking to a 0. i am not sure how many is rarely watching the 0. um, for me i will be very upset when uh i will not be able to uh what you up on like television shows, but i'm sure that they will not be able to remove you from the side of the network. and on the net,
2:50 pm
i'm sure there is riley's, who addicted to a just view uh as well as myself will be able to watch us. um, i am not sure each day uh, going to take steps against uh your correspondence. oh maybe this is also my last interview on uh i just you i, i have so when i get back home, i am on my way now there will be a police officer waiting for me. i oh no. but uh, the, the, the reason is of course, so when you book your, this, the tool to seem to be of the public opinion that, that is very disappointed. some of the conduct of the government in garza and in the international irina. and this is to please the father is from there would be good, right. and this is,
2:51 pm
i'm afraid not the last step. we know that the ministers, the money, the mirrors, that of communication, that that is looking at and not the networks including is rarely channels that, um, not satisfying the government. the head of the young girls who program has ones at northern gaza is now experiencing what she's describing as a full blown fireman. and moving towards the side effects of some of it. she has more than that of the people of gaza. haven't had much to eat since the war began, and now for the 1st time to you when says a state of time, it is evident in north and casa severe restrictions have blocked food deliveries. israel's constant bombardment is further isolating more areas, forcing palestinians to survive, and leaves, scraps and food. hand out the head of the human world. food program is renewing
2:52 pm
calls for humanitarian ceasefire. where i can explain to you is that there is famine, full blown famine in the north, and it's moving its way south. and so with what we're asking for, and what we've continually asked for is, is a cease fire. and the ability to have unfettered access to get in safe and unfettered access to get into the, into, in the guys a get various ports and various various gate crossings. but we, you know, it hasn't always worked that way. israel has been blocking most of the 8th trucks from coming in, allowing only a trickle of a to reach, but with students. international efforts have shifted to air dropping supplies, but that's insufficient and unsustainable to meet the dire need on the ground. it's har, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's so hard to look at and it's so hard to hear also. so i'm just, i'm and so hoping that we can get a ceasefire and, and begin to,
2:53 pm
to feed these people at it, especially in the north, in, i'm in a more am in a much faster fashion that also including, as i said, water sanitation medicine, it's all part of the salmon, the famine issue is also something that we need to make sure that the world understands. we can't let this happen. the entire gaza population of 2300000 people do not have enough food. and the crisis is escalating each day. children are struggling the most to hospitals started reporting the 1st that's from starvation in early march efforts to prevent the diamond hinge on the ceasefire, but it still remains as elusive as ever axles i moved out to 0. okay, a reminder of the breaking news from israel following these are the governments or the closure of all to 0 is operations. and that's off to the cabinet and voted unanimously in favor of the decision. county of naples is really parliament to
2:54 pm
prove the law that allows the government to bond broadcast channels. it considers a threat to national security. the government has now unanimously ordered the closure of the incitement mouthpiece of a moss and israel l. g 0, the mouthpiece of homos, anyone who incites against the state of israel to anyone who harms the security of israel and the soldiers fighting for the id. yes. will no longer broadcast to your from is real and your equipment will be confiscated among cons. what about correspondence? unoccupied, east jerusalem? and he preemptively recorded his final message in case of a potential. but or if you're watching this pre recorded report, then al jazeera has been banned in the territory of israel on april. the 1st the connected these ready pub in the hospital that allowed the problem is that to band out is there a, he's now inactive that low. let me just take you through some of the definitions with in the low. they've band a website,
2:55 pm
including anything that has the option of entering or accessing the website, even passwords that needed, whether they paid or not. and whether it's stored on the is rarely serve as well outside of as well. the website is now and accessible. they're also buying any device right, used for providing content that includes my mobile phone. if i use that to do any kind of news gathering these rates, can somebody confiscated are into the access provide at the guy that simply hops out? is there a dot net is also in danger of being fined? if they host the website the out, is there a tv channel, completely band transmission by any kind of content provider as well. so the band and holding offices or operating them in the territory of israel by the channel. both are once again, any device is used to provide content for the channel can be taken away by the israelis. it's a wide ranging band. we don't know how long it will be in place,
2:56 pm
full, but it does cover this territory of the state of israel and run cost out. is there a occupied east jerusalem on the move to pano just here? it comes as diplomatic efforts to reach a cx, 5 deal between israel and hamas are under way in egypt. and a statement, hama says political liter smell high man says that the group is so keen on a ceasefire. deal is demanding a guaranteed withdrawal of israeli troops. from gaza, the palestinian group has reiterated that 8 once a permanent end to the war on gossip a to homes remain of a possible a 65. and this was the scene in this offer and the size of the strip. right now we are ended up off, as you can see, the bucket goes all of these people here to our eagle or just to hit on of, to mr. can use about the truce result that's a few days ago. we're going to go home, go back to the north, guys, us trip. but right now, we have still nervous,
