7:02 pm
it has been for some time now you can see a few of the last remaining protest is much most please say that they are engaging with them, reminding them that the conditions of the process where the people disbanded by now 5 pm local time. as you say, there was also this other protest or other working together event as it was labeled by the campaign against anti semitism. that was planned to coincide with this march full gauze or in palestine that was cooled off a day ahead with concern sided by that organization of potential risks to hostile actors. they said threats against the safety of those who are destined to be taken pods. i'm. i spoke to the head of the palestine solidarity campaign, who was the main driver behind today's march?
7:03 pm
he said benjamin, all that, that was a tactics that was being used. and indeed the hundreds of jewish protest is on this much. they were a couple of just speakers as well at the router which ended here in hyde park. the other pro kinds of protest you mentioned was by this group enough, is enough, the pro israel, a static demonstration, the main march went through that area. police officers separated the 2 groups of protest as one person was arrested for what was said to be a racist comment directed at the pro israel watches. thank you very much for that. harry fawcett lived there in london, in the us police have detained about a 100 people while clearing a protest camp at northeastern university in boston. the university says of protest as resorted to anti semitic slurs student demonstrations against the war. and guys, i have spread across the west, but the ongoing efforts by university officials and police. and the protests was
7:04 pm
just over a week since students at columbia university in new york began demanding their school diverse from israel. students at columbia, harvard georgetown, mit and george washington university began demanding the same protest spread from the northeast to campuses in michigan, texas in california. for we have a team of correspondents covering this story for us across the us in atlanta, austin, washington, dc. first, we go to john henry, who's in princeton at princeton university in new jersey. this is one of the us encampments, john, what's the scene like that? that's right, this is a 3. and if you look around, you can see that students are gathered around what looks like a very large chat. that 10 is not various. and that's an important irony because they're not allowed to have 10 seer. the police have been tearing them down and arresting people who use tens, including a couple of people here
7:05 pm
a couple of days ago on thursday when they opened this camp. and that jan is for a plan university event. so as you see, these students are, are laying on blankets. they're not supposed to be intense or a, or sleepier according to the university. but if you look over to the rank where those students are sitting down, you may notice that there is a stack of sleeping bags. they have been coming here, shifts and constantly occupying this place. but one of the threats that these universities, especially many of these a lead ivy league, kind of you universities, you, this is expulsion or suspension costs $50.00 to $70000.00 for tuition at this university . so a, it's a major penalty if you get suspended or kicked down and that's what a lot of these students are worried about. that's why so many of them are wearing masks in a past. asked us not to identify them fully. yeah. and the movement is growing no dog, but they are also a number of arrest that have been made. talk to us about the latest on those
7:06 pm
that's right, in the past 24 hours in northeastern university, more than a 100 people were arrested. now the, the, as you pointed out, and the claim was that some of them made some remarks that were in violation of school policy. having been, it's so many of these, amanda, i find it doubtful that a 100 of them would be responsible for doing that. these are generally peaceful protest. occasionally you'll get conflicts with counter protesters. but in general, it's a pretty positive thing. and you can see you've got a group of people here, you know, pounding on drums. if we have a full agenda of speakers, we're going to come here later today. so these are not generally by lender or hateful themes. and the students that we've talked to said they've been careful not to make. you can do some medic remarks. they have made anti zine is for mark sandy, israel remarks, but there has been, of course,
7:07 pm
a lot of hair splitting about what is anti semitism and whether you know, a rally in support of palestine and against the war and gaza. is that the students here say no fully john, thank you very much for that. that's john henry and reporting their life from princeton university in new jersey. let's head over now to washington dc and mike hannah is at george washington university. joining us now live mike g, w 4 is one of the big universities in the heart of the us capital. tell us about what's happening that as well as being peaceful here. so a few dozen, the students, some of whom did spend the night intense. uh, police saw in position here, they are monitoring the situation. they tell me very clear that they are not going to take any action, although they will, austin do so by the university of authorities. now this is actually a public space. george washington is a public university, and this creates
7:08 pm
a different scenario from those private universities because of limits the action to which the university can do. now we do understand that they police were asked to remove the students by the university authorities. they declined to do so because they describe this as a peaceful gathering and will only take action if there is violent or inflammatory tool. let me just step away aside. here you can see the layout of what you've got the tense here in front of the university square, which is behind, blocked off by offense. the bulk of the students camping on university square itself. there are a couple of police walking around on that square, but i spoke to one an officer. yes. who says that they are here purely to monitor purely to observe as no intention whatsoever of removing the students at this particular stage. perhaps what is on the minds of the washington police. all those events in june 2020, when police using back to on this into
7:09 pm
a gas disperse demonstrators in the black lives matter movement. the police of publicly stated that they are wary of any upticks that may emerge from police. once again, using bathrooms or other measures to disperse what are at this stage, largely peaceful demonstrations. thank you very much for that. my kind of life for a step in washington, dc and next to phil laval, who's at emory university in atlanta that's in the state of georgia. there were some confrontations between police and protests at emory on fridays fail. uh, it looks a bit more quiet today. a yeah, it's a very different scene, a uh, fully compared to what we just saw are those of the 2 locations. i mean there are very few people of out here. it's very quiet saturday afternoon, but then be to see because yesterday it was a vice similar situation. and indeed i'm told by some of the organizers that there is another protest planned later today. it's just a little after 12 in the afternoon here we are expecting,
7:10 pm
protest is sometime around 4 or 5 pm. what we saw yesterday was a very different scene. so what we saw on 1st day yesterday when we arrived in the evening, there were a number of protesters, maybe 2300 out here in the dark. they were waving flags, there was music, it was a much calmer atmosphere that we'd seen on the 1st day. again, earlier in the day there would also be another protest where people march through the campus very peacefully, several 100. making that point on the protest to cyber crucially. that is because yesterday there was no police presence here. i mean, we counted one police call maybe half a mile down the road at the entrance to the university. but there were no police here. the protest, the site, that is what then enabled them to make that point very clearly. that of course is a sharp contrast. the 1st day we saw those dozens of people arrested. we saw the emery police, we saw lots of police. we even saw state troopers have taken people into custody, a number of students, even faculty members of stuff and others are now the way that the process here are
7:11 pm
working is that they all very owners, the centralized right. so you've got protests who will march to one area of the university. you'll have another group who will march through another area of the university with holes in the field energy department, which isn't the building behind that one behind me. but there is an occupying movement about to take place and there are people in the who will refuse to leave. and this is also having ramifications within the university as well because the president of the university greg friend was he's the man who on 1st i said that the police were right to be here. he blamed outside is for organizing that process on thursday. yes. today, one of the fact let's, he's had filed a motion at overwhelming motions of no confidence in him. so aside from what's happening in the middle east, the protest as a rule. so having a big making a big difference to what's happening politically, hey, within the university, i may say they will keep protesting every single day. they will be here until the point is made fail level. thank you for that update from emory university in
7:12 pm
atlanta. georgia found the ground in guys that is really a tax to scale at least $32.00 palestinians in the last 24 hours, including 8 children. 15 people died when is ready for his child home in new se, right, camp in central gaza. a number of nearby houses were damaged, yamil, so bomb 2 homes overnight in rough or at least 34388 policy needs have been killed since the war began. let's go to any more more for an update on the situation in guys. he's in ra, find the south. tell us about the latest strikes, honey, and there optimize the is. will the confirm reports that we're getting the size that were targeted? there is a residential home and a part of robot city and another neighborhood that states in part run the city and over crowded the area with many displaced families of from the northern part of the state from the central area. but they've got work. many people were forced to leave

7:14 pm
a residential home causing further civilian casualties. then as a shocking level of destruction, that is a quite visible in the area this, there had been repeatedly targeted by this really military. there was a military operation board for almost 5 days within the past week. and you can't work. the vast majority of buildings and public facility were destroyed and there, but 9 people were killed inside a residential home. half of them are from same families, mostly children and women. when we talk to i witness, they describe horrific fees and that decision caused by the error strikes there. besides the message to the world is enough enough with my message to every person with a conscience would every person who claims to be a human being regardless of religion, race or politics is enough on earth in gaza has had its fill of blood and the occupation what we can do is trust that god deep strong will look off. dress us when alone, and honey guys, health ministry says policy means across the strip of drinking unsafe waterways,
