shadow. foreign minister, she insists the hunter is losing a flash floods have devastated large areas of kenya, dw, and there is meet survivors, many without any news of their loved ones. the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. new york city police say they have cleared pro palestinian protestors from a building on the campus of columbia university bringing a day long stand off to a dramatic. and this was the moment police entered hamilton hall, where protesters had barricaded themselves, and officers can be seen climbing through a 2nd floor window. some reportedly with guns drawn rate came at the request of university president, after students defied an ultimatum to back down or be expelled. police have been

asked to stay on campus until may 17th, more than 1000 people have been detained across 25 campuses in the us in recent weeks. use benjamin alvarez gruber was outside columbia is campus in new york city police here in new york quote and of the area of the university. we see cars leaving the area, but we were there when police started doing arrest, also coming closer to columbia university. and also when this run with this emergency unit appeared, and then there's more than 20 law enforcement officers into this whole that was occupied by students early tuesday and police is still on the scene. the many police officers, the many a unit and columbia university also send out a press release of to 9 pm, saying that they requested additional support and told a new york police department to go in a university and to arrest the students. we've seen at least 3 buses with

a students that happened, arrested the leaving the area, but we don't have a clear number yet of how many students were arrested in who's still on campus for our let's remember that access was already denied to students into the fact that the stuff in only essential, essential stuff. and also those students who live inside were allowed to enter a campus area to protesters have been speaking about the reasons for participating in the demonstrations hi, mature students. so i feel like it's especially important for me to express my concern about palestinian lives and suffering because i kind of critically stand against the ideas that jewish people can not be pro palestine. i. i think that design isn't like insights on anti zionism and anti semitism are not the same thing and human life deserves to be protected. but the hostages,

a mom wouldn't really be here in the 1st place, whether we, you know, and that's as a reporter, william glue croft who has been following the pro palestinian protests. he told us more about the students demands. you've seen these purchase are happening not just at columbia, but really in dozens of universities, all around the united states and the demands are different in columbia. as in many other universities, they're not just trying to draw attention to the mass of military campaign that israel is carrying out in guns that has resulted in, according to how must have run health officials, 34000 dead, including many, many, many thousands of children. but they want more than that, they want investments from stocks in weddings, companies, for example, in, in companies, in israel, they want to basically cut off the support and connections to the state of israel. that's what many of these students are demanding. member, these universities are massive institutions. they have the big endowments, sometimes in the billions of dollars. those and elements are invested in companies

and in pension funds, all around the world, including and israel, including in the weapons companies. and that's where students are in many places, including columbia are looking to and now the students defied the universities ultimatums to leave at columbia university. what sort of risks are those students taking william with their protest? us right, well, we've seen the, the detention and the arrest of, of dozens of the students has been across united states more than a 1000 arrests of students. some under questionable circumstances considering that many of these protests, the overwhelming number of them have been peaceful. none the less, there's been questions of, of trespassing, of violating campus rules or, or student life rules university regulations. of course, students respond well, we're students here. we're paying tuition to be here. how can that possibly be trespassing? there's a lot of legal questions here. students risk of course,

further disciplinary measures possibly being suspended or kicked out of school. but nonetheless, the protestors themselves would say that that is a chunk of change, small consequences in comparison to what they're protesting, which is the ongoing funds, lot against civilians or civilians taking the brunt of these really on slot in gaza . violence has broken out on the campus of the university of california in los angeles as counter protesters emerge, the challenge demonstrators supporting gaza. there had been confrontations that the pro palestinian camp and police have responded to the u. c. l. a chancellor's call for support. university is also increase security in the area. it's colleges around the us have been struggling to contain similar protests on thousands of campuses. us secretary state as a blanket is in israel to push for a cease fire for gaza and the hostage deal for these rarely is held by hamas.

lincoln is meeting with officials to discuss increasing the flow of aid and has also met some of the hostages families separately. israel's military told dw that it will open. the air is crossing into northern gaza, which has been closed since the almost terror attacks on october 7th. humanitarian shipments already are on the way from george. a meeting with is really present, isaac had soc blinking renewed his call for him, us to accept the ceasefire proposal where to turn to get the ceasefire to bring the hostages all together. now. and the only reason that that wouldn't be changed is because of the loss. there is a bundle on the table and as we said, no delays, those are no excuses. the time is now and time is now long past. due

lincoln's appeal comes after the un secretary general called on israel's allies to do quote everything in their power to prevent it. assault on the city of rough up speaking to reporters, antonio guitars issued a strong plea for a cease far for the sake of the people of gods for the sake of the hostages and their families in israel. and for the sake of the region and the why, the walls, i strongly encourage the governments of israel and the how mosley the she to lead know in the agreements. without that, i see of the water with all its consequences most you've got some of the across the region. woodson exponentially, the w correspond, rebecca rivers is in jerusalem. i asked her about israel's plans to open another border crossing that will allow more humanitarian aid to enter. gals. i will tell you we've had confirmation from these ready military this morning that it is indeed

going to reopen this era is crossing today. we are hearing um now they committed to opening this crossing a few weeks ago. coming on the increased international pressure, particularly from the us. so it's perhaps not surprising that the opening of air is crossing today. coincides with a visit of secretary of state anthony blinking, blinking, or the so 1st shipment of a trucks that were leaving jordan uh and they will be heading to areas where they will have to be checked to their before entering into this trip. that will be the 1st of what will hopefully be many crossings, though it is a temporary opening, no errors crossing walls and, and traditionally a goods crossing. it wasn't for people to cross in and out of gaza, particularly palestinians coming to work inside israel, but also international. they did raise and journalists and they'd like to cross in into gas, or it wasn't actually goods crossing that was down. and karen shut on which many of us will now have been familiar with over the last weeks is that was reopened. now

it's obviously been priced at the opening of this crossing has been praised by humanitarian workers and by agencies that you know, the crossing in areas will be boosted with the same issues that we're seeing at other crossings. of course, it will hopefully potentially increase the amount of aid that's going particularly in directly into that northern part of the strip, which is really facing the worst parts that isn't, you know, what, what agencies are saying is on the brink of famine, it will be able to directly go into those areas, but of course, getting the aid through and it still needs to be checked by israel is still could be protest is trying to block that aid crossing. and of course we have it still the, the issues with the distribution. once the aid actually enters into israel, meanwhile, negotiations between israel and from us towards a ceasefire on going it. now israel's prime minister says his troops will rage rough uh, in southern gaza, regardless of whether a ceasefire deal is reached. how rebecca does prime minister netanyahu explain how

he imagines a military offensive to be compatible with a cease fire? well, he hasn't given an answer to that question, terry. i mean unit and yeah, who made these comments while he was speaking to representative groups of groups that represent some of the bereaved families and some bereaved families of the site and soldiers. these groups that represent people who are on the move rights of send to them all whole kish, that has been some of the have been protesting a going into gaza. so he's speaking to a particular audience. when he made these remarks, he was also making them just prior to meeting to very right wing members of his coalition who have that. in fact, the sort of given these veiled threats to leave the coalition to try to, you know, force the government to crumble at ease. in fact, the government does make this se syiaa deals. so it's certainly an audience that we'd be receptive to hearing,

things like that. i think what benjamin netanyahu may be referring to is that this, even, even if a say 5 deal came through the truth would be something along the lines of 40 days. but like with the law cease fire agreement, we so israel pick out the fighting and the optimal. so perhaps that's what mister benjamin that now is referring to. rebecca, thank you very much, sar correspondent, rebecca rivers in jerusalem. quick look now at some other stories making headlines today at least 24 people have been killed after part of a highway collapse in long dung province. further 30 people were taken to hospital their in southern china report suggest some 500 members of the emergency services were dispatched to the scene. the cause of the accident is being investigated. donald trump has been held in contempt of court and finds $9000.00 in his harsh money trial and new york. the judge said the former us president had repeatedly violated the gag order that bars him from speaking publicly about yours and

last week the military said it had recaptured the town of maya wadi on beyond north eastern border with thailand, sparking concerns the conflict could escalate. dw, interviewed the foreign affairs representative of the national unity government the beyond marked as the country's opposition government in exile. it is one of the world's most violent ongoing conflicts. since the 2021 military cooney, at least 50000 people have been killed in man my. now 3 years into a civil war. there are no signs of a beeping. in early april, the down male what the unimportant brunswick point for the flow of goods between pilot and me and my fell under the controller for example, it's nick minority group. but as of late april may, a bought the was back under decimal, pest control the situation remains one of the foreign minister of man mazda

opposition group, the national unity government in an interview with the w excuse the ministry homes of targeting civilians and the backend they are losing their desperate so that is fine. they don't even able to, to, to, to discriminate whether it is civilian or military to get the definitely intentionally targeted to the civilian population. because the desperate and the losing the situation in man body means enormously complex. which resistance groups opposed to the one stop at times of the fighting each other? is to be at this particular consent for throwing your people in med, most not the kind state of the military is the one who would creating the problem to commit that crime against humanity and who creating the hate and dividing that community. so they are also using that, that kind of static in iraq kind of states the also using rominger as that light to

human, to go ahead and get muslims, have been at defend data for humanitarian crisis with some 700000 force defeat to bundle dish. after the 2017 track down by the ministry, i also appreciate that you, you can union and the wrong of sessions through the military. honda, which is really good, an economic and diplomatic pressure for the military hunter. and then, but at the same time, we also need a humanitarian assistance for those who are suffering on the ground. because as we mentioned that there are more and more refugees that are in creating because of the ministry. hundreds of the 2017 ministry track down is now subject of a general site investigation at the international court of justice. let's get more on the story now from dr. young healy in sole south korea. she's a founding member of the special advisory council for me on mar,

which advocates on behalf of the countries democratic move. and thanks for being with us. professor, tell us about the situation on the ground in myanmar. do you know who actually has the upper hand in the conflict, the military junta or the resistance forces or? well i, i heard you are interview with the my all who is not just a number of positions, use the foreign minister of the national unity government as she said, the hunter is losing. and we've done research in 2022 about the effective control of the a ma and have found a really surprising results. and even been online that, that got the hotel only exercises about 30 percent of control. but since the time that we did the report, we're doing a follow up and we found a even more surprising results. not only did the winter lose most of these

international borders to china, thailand and india. it has lost some more areas that's facing it. closer to the heartland of mall. so it effective control is not just the territorial control. it's the nature of how one can government a township or a state. the government has not been able to govern for a while and so they are now resorting to more barbaric atrocities. i guess the civilian population of me a ma, now the bylaws are, is having a huge impact on civilians. are they able to access humanitarian assistance? when needed, or no because the international government, most, most of the international government international community is traveling through

the winter, which they should not be trying to link through hunter to the hunter. because they would only reach the people that are under the one to control. mostly their military and their family. most stupid territory is now under the ethnic revolutionary forces. they're no longer regarded as rebel groups anymore. there has been less fighting between the ethnic arm to groups now because they have now joined hands and alignment with the national unity government for the aspiration of fulfilling the exploration of the people of me. i'm all for free democratic federal mamma. so good that both needed aid is not reaching the people in dire need. what the international community must do is to channel these assistance cross border through the ethnic or networks. they've been doing this for

decades, and they have the know how they have the skills. we have the, the connections at is that a goes through the borders. it can even get channels into central liam, uh at into gang on dr. young. hey, lee. thank you very much for your insights sir. that was uh dr. lee from the special advisory council for me on the are now sorties, antonio, say at least 169 people have been killed in more than a 190000, displaced by catastrophic flooding. the treasure range that hit the country this year have been called the most intense and recent memory dw felix, my ring, spoke to some of the people who were forced to leave their homes. many don't know what's happened to their loved ones shot. that was what as
