7:32 pm
a sweeping reductions and carbon emissions from existing coal fired plans and new natural gas facilities. they're all part of the presidential biden's plans to fight climate change on a plane carrying 85 people on an international flight has skidded off or runway in senegal. the boeing 737 caught fire after coming to a stop at the cars. international airport authority say if these 10 people had been injured, but no one died. the airport has now reopened, and flights have resumed. there is much more on that story as well as the days other top stories on our website out to 0 is on top, will have more news at the top of the hour, but coming up next, it's the bottom line. thanks for watching the one of the biggest selections of 2020 pools in the general election will administer
7:33 pm
now render moody's b t p. increase it through the across the country. how will economic uncertainty and you've some employment suede boots as in key states. and will the media be able to cover the vote really and fairly ongoing coverage the in the as an action on out, is there a a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question across the united states. why are the student protests for palestine being met with military style crackdowns? let's get to the bottom line. the from los angeles to boston and dozens of college campuses in between. students have been peacefully expressing their solidarity with the palestinian people on their college campuses. after months of watching israel pulverized gauze into rubble and dust, but this week, the administrations of several universities called on police forces to break up the demonstrations and tear apart student encampments. more than 2000 students have
7:34 pm
been detained and a countless number of been injured, suspended, or banned from setting foot on campus. graduation ceremonies have been cancelled, and president joe biden has weighed in implying that the demonstrations are anti semitic and basically reducing the protests to an issue of law and order. but is it that simple, or is it linked to the american tradition of youth movements that start against the vietnam war in the 19 sixty's, a part hide south african, the 1980s, and supported black lives matter just a few years ago. today we'll start with 2 student leaders at the university of north carolina at chapel hill, jacob, and harsh, and thank you both for joining us today. let me, let me ask you both, and i'll start with jacob. what are you trying to achieve in, in these protests right now, what does this mean to you personally? and then we'd love to hear the same from harsha. yeah, and the so we 1st and foremost want to end the genocide that is relative inflicting amount of cost and in people's tens of thousands of pounds. the needs of emerg by
7:35 pm
one sense to a, by the united states government and are not just our government and that is the same, but it is our institution. it is being received material. and that is also be implicit because it is invested in the state of israel. and so our demands on campus is 1st and foremost, financial disclosure and trans guarantee. so that we can actually see how the university is invest and it's my cell is 2.5, all valid products there is but the image and assignments and so the patient and a part time. and then finally, the need for the past me from the state of israel, a jacob, jacob, real quick. why did this become such a personal issue for you that your risking your academic standing, your risking being arrested? what, what about this issue? resonated for you personally? it comes into play just being in the united states and but listening this and see how them my tax dollars. and they are going to fund the sites and want to find out the patient in apartheid. also because binds us and my and they are using judaism
7:36 pm
or their weapon, actually my religion to come in mass atrocities. so those are like, personally what we're letting me do this to this. thank you. a harsh i'm i would love to hear what's motivating you at this moment. yeah, i think a big thing for me has to be frustrated and i have a feeling living in the united states. the yes, the city. and hopefully this is how political by this country seems so vast and supporting israel despite it's brian, you know, the 2 weeks ago because you go and then the paragraphs, i think 49. so 49 percent, i think is really the beginning of genocide. only 19 or 21 percent thing is there is not meaning a genocide and then the rest of the insurance. so if you just look into that right, base bar or more than the thing that is really is to me thinking genocide versus does it go? yeah, the way to go in congress and the bill of sending $70000000000.00 is relative
7:37 pm
continues genocide. we saw 4750. you democrats have decided that you bought, assigned it. and the majority of democrats live in the house. uh, so we see this disconnected. well, with the americans, i think it where a lot of americans are saying is media genocide of the cross out of the openness. yeah. so happy to be listed in those 5. you want to make, we want to be like this, like our, our ality is more important than our own academic success. we will not sell a reality for us to ship or, or a government that is willing to sell it. and then i just added that, like our sacrifices are so minor to parents and like what other people are meeting that like we are i and completely ready to do whatever it takes to get these demands mad. and he will not stop until our demands are not. and until that we see the sea and housing and freedom in house. and you know, the reason i'm just interested, are you seeing violence? are you seeing anti semitic groups as part of your movement?
7:38 pm
i mean, tell us what that texture looks like. yeah, yeah. i can, i can take this, the only violence that we see is the violence of police and against us. we are peaceful. we were just edited cabinet. we or e sign, the coordinates of the university that we did was have a sense of law. and the only bias that occurred is when the police officers brutally rated the incoming call. people cabinets a big brown. one of us was there strongly with the smoking. they ran across the ground and subjected to the brutal treatments, the really the only finance that receive it on the end of the police. and also that kind of professors because you find the police guess what kind of weight is what are the chancellor? the chancellor. every minute or 3 days out there at the police are pushing people over straight, afraid people with the type of sprint and tapping people in wheelchairs, wheelchairs right behind this lineup police doing this, but horrible riddle. refreshing is our chancellor or cancel the be find him. are people holding the is rarely flat and holding a mirror bag and with that,
7:39 pm
the only violence is the university in the police and is the counter professors. and i just want to say one more thing because you asked about insects. i'm just, i'm and i just wanna say that i and yours and i had never once witnessed nor experienced any anti semitism because movies are costing you literally say we are a little bit for democracy for quality, for justice, proliferation between all types of patriots and already we have to box services, we have many jewish people, their menu us, the c p, and all the organizations argues, and the fact that they are choosing us. that'd be facebook, which isn't in our lease. but if you want to bother me up, certainly bleeding boss, and the reason that they're doing this is because they are trying to silence us. they are going to suppress our movements. and they are kind of near us an estimate . and they're writing this whole thing about it and dispatching difficult
7:40 pm
washington. they're just using this. the field is helping criticism. and i want to say that right and type in place sign is a, is not at this time is, is that right? pulled up. thank you. harsh him, i want to ask you an unfair question. what is different about this moment? we're all of a sudden it college campuses across the united states. palestine is front page above the fold and it's got the attention of the nation in a way. i've never seen in my life, and i think the things that play here, 1st of all i think is there has just gone, like, you know, i think is relatively close a as in committing atrocities for 75 years. it's never gospel. this is just send you for so that they feel empowered because they've been propelled by years, the never being busted for their actions. and it's just, i think that every, so we're sending okay, would draw the line of assets. but now we have, we can see information organizer that seems information and we get a very different way and we are seeing what's happening on the ground. and gosh,
7:41 pm
we see what's happening. and i think in the past that was always, she was by a certain, by a media perspective, whether or not because it was kind of stuff. right. i want to play a clip for you of, for president donald trump commenting about all of you and get your reaction. let's listen to every college rosen and i say remove the in tap and so immediately vanquish the radicals and take back to our campuses for all as a normal one, a safe place from which to learn. that was former president, maybe future president, donald trump. what are your reactions to that and what is his? how does his notion of normally students compare to the 2 of you passion or the disagree with. but really, it's just students standing up against the dentist off and it was really a rally, a bunch of a bunch of people around the development started can suggest like joe to inside job . he saw and looks back and then i him and he said they're not,
7:42 pm
they're not at all. so the things that joe sporting goods as i basically just bang based on what he said to that. right. yeah, he's mad that we're progressing it on a side like make bad excess. so, you know, i to using and i also don't really care what the things you've been doing for all i care about is any using that needs to sign and use this to uh, to get his base, you know, right. uh, yeah, and i want, besides the, our movement is a mass and doesn't mean it is so popular on campus. we had our own cabinet. at one point we had those, the 1500 people. this is so popular and how well and so many students on campus were getting involved. so we're not the minority. we are the majority of students were committed to deliveries and of allison. and you can see this by how many people turned up to support us. and by yes, all of the end of the community supporting. yeah, it is. it is really upsetting the state of business. i've some sort of friends thing. we represent the majority here. yeah. i like to go go ahead. yeah,
7:43 pm
the way that we are starting operations and this fall, i think we're just talking about i could just have tennis and one second of all the thoughts of those, those are the power needs to be accessible in the process. but all of their saw, i knew that they took that off a cabinet, but it'd be built in and use barricade barricade where that was so no one can use that space either way. but wow, campus right now, they're walking in the middle of this red zone. they have a record, the student barricades all around and all around is black to protect the american class and there are no 6. it is humorous everywhere. there are security lights everywhere. there was like a mine resisted uh like uh, on vehicle romeo ranch campus. yeah. let me ask you just finally and very quickly as you see yourselves and you see your campus in the future, are you going to see any ability of people who are on different sides of this
7:44 pm
equation and feel differently in this moment? able to sit down and engage in civil discourse, engage in education, about this moment. i'm happy to sit down with the degree with but there's a lot of if you're supporting this i, i am not interested in talking to you, you know, you know, definitely that's like it asking us like, oh, would you like to sit down with white menaces or do you not these on campus? no, it's not big enough people i'm interested in speaking to in there are people who, you know, disagree with the same. what is it is. ready is for david, those people, but there is what is the just and forgivable and you know, if we have the best the best that will be good is usually jacob, i'll give you the last word. but i would like to say one final thing to a chance or cancel or cancel or leave, or it's that it's on you. history will not remember you find history will remember you for your powerless trigger and absence,
7:45 pm
and for your complexity and horrible atrocities and crimes. against humanity, and also i want to add it. i just need to know this, and i've also because you're choosing us again for someone to them. i just want to stay there, but i want you to take my limit of your man's well hi simon jacob with students for justice in palestine at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. thank you so much for being with us. it appreciate it. thank you. and now we turned to michelle, the golf professor of linguistics at the massachusetts institute of technology. dr . digraph. thank you so much for joining us today. your campus is now one of the other many campus, nearly a 100 campuses in the united states that having cabinets and protests right now about what's happening in gaza. what are you seeing right now at mit in cambridge? massachusetts actually disconnects that. i just heard this sound
7:46 pm
almost exactly like doing that, but i know at the might see the if they can reduce to then and i myself, i can think about this put in to put past it gets identified. i feel about being are the moral compass into moral compass about tennessee physically and i truly in october of last year i've been tired and houghton by then i really think back it's that you think moment in the history of us higher education giving you a health and encouragement inspired by the student that we just heard a few, n b, but those right here. and just to me at the, at the might be a doctor to graphing you have just written a letter to the president of m i t, your employer in boss basically challenging her framing of these protests. and just in short form, you will have implied and said to her that her framing is actually dangerous to the
7:47 pm
students that and she has been framing these peaceful protests and peaceful students that you've been seeing as violent as anti semitic. tell us more about this letter consistently. what you sent you back the from that symmetry and the weight in which a president, i mean, it's based on some treat. the students were protesting against the general side issues. those were support israel and it's constant. just slash choose a big group of faculty who are supporting us today. we met with the president and, and we've been, we're very give me actually and because every people just me things that we have time to spend that these products, they are fighting for something which is dear to the, to put them. i think logistics and they're putting a look at risk and some of them have that many deputy too and got the what being murdered. so we have to understand where they're coming from. they're coming from the place of pain, looking for justice and, and
7:48 pm
a better this morning. even the use of pronoun she referred to, the students for contact with testing. actually they took out that process was sponsored by none other than did the training come? so they basically is a come to protest new and might be sponsored by that is very the government. and we got heard just a couple of weeks ago from none are the independent experiences on yahoo. describing the students was fighting against the general side. you describe the students as if they were like german might be in the 1930. i could not be given that the prime minister. actually the graduates of it might be describing students were begging m i d to the computer team and don't hide describing them as if they were met the, and so forth. i was shocked by that. but then this morning, when i read that, it puts it in, was concerned about 2 weeks for a 2 hour is ready in 2 weeks. good in an hour. but in fact,
7:49 pm
it is appropriate to get to the side. yeah, many jury students. so there's a group called m i d, jews for the fire inspector at present this morning. i think of it and it was some beautiful song. couldn't keep room. and it may be just about despite logistics, especially the reason for being out there also thought we would do is community. so when she said that she needs to, that, that, this group, this is what this left for the project for the protection, for the support of our doing. just getting ready to minutes to basically read you raise the joyce. good. it was also fighting for, but i didn't lie function in 50 if you so i was actually quite hurried despite the message because i, i've been, we've been in the bath for 4 months. all right. then then i've heard the cries, i've had to obtain. and for them to be re, is she didn't even mention what police package even mention that, but it's to me and as if the thought that exist,
7:50 pm
you'll see end up paying the big fees for the type of the fighting or get the dental side, the pricing again and my deed, right. helping her daughter, michelle. one of the things that i think some of the observers and, and critics on national cable tv had been saying, uh, is that this, these protests are animated, supported, put in motion by outside are groups that these are not authentic. we students, they are not authentically professor, but these are the instigators around the nation. i'd love to hear your response to that, but that, that's laughable because i've been, i've been made to now for 28 years. so it's kind of ironic using it that is good because these professes are being instigated by what's it outside of imagine i haven't been here. i've been teaching here for 20 years and this is what i've been, i've been getting excited keeps books out. do you know that it's some of my favorite track is what it's called black meadows and the other one is called career
7:51 pm
languages and keeping identity. and in my class a couple of years ago, i had a student from palestine. this has been tour. is it one of one of our projects with it? what's the stand? the is 3 co, larry 2 between what, what happened to hate c. h s. we have a way to genocide. we have 254. i'll be ration west west states or do you many to rectify, to get to the advisor. but we have lots of connections between 8 and 25. and in the sense we teach. right to dictate this course and back my to as well. so kids about the reason about about and clear about occupation and as students to then i just put the best way i could professor. i couldn't be teaching about maybe risk. i'm getting about digging like this and, and i see students in the forefront of actual the be reason, actually because my vision and then 23 not. and of course, these are my 2 students. this is the best, this is the best that they might be. can offer, in terms of intellectual,
7:52 pm
the kitchen, the content, mad, you know, the content delivery to build, you know, just words. if you spend half an hour talking to the students, they're what they're doing, they're creating a better future future. where are these pinions you're trying to use if they want to join us? don't. ready truth 10, build, then you something new together, the future of love and be for everyone actually with the minutes when i talk about police 10 would be free from the re book a dispute. what they mean is that what he's doing in will be they still treated as the class citizens. they want them to be like it, frankly, they want them to have freedom. and just if i'm going to be the dispute, it's a cause for universal justice. i'm just wondering from your experience, what's the, what's that moment or spark that finally brought this to the forefront in a way that just hasn't happened for decades as well. i think we have to big that on
7:53 pm
yahoo for these moments. you see because it's on the who, it's a bit like the trunk. you see, for example, from columbine. if you've country because it's a cool country because 18 to country. but the truck has been so clear about his patriot, both a black people, for example, for african. right. and if it's something that we've been talking, yeah. but now goes on creatures to call. but it's janine to them and the allies fighting against the dentist bag when it, when you compare them to the not the it's showing that's clearly what he said about . it's probably about protecting jewish people talking about, you know, and i think interesting because then it's about ro power. right? and it's clear that he doesn't care about jewish people because if he did, he would have kids come to this thing, but a good number to reach students. what line with the students from buddies, banks and then from the company. we also asking for an end to these down production
7:54 pm
patient. so we cannot hope in a hard to depend on one group. then truce a heart beat up your group. if you feel when, when, when it gets you can handle close to that might be if you put something out in the open, this type of bad. they've been good rhetoric of a history that they did. in fact, my, my, my colleague professor reads the lady, i've written the book about actually she many people as well about this in this community except bothering with the fact that it needs reading the school system. big just that there is a children that to be out to paper this can you from the, from a very young age. in fact jacket paper called the notification of british canyon and append to what you know he's doing now what he's doing on pre to what he's doing and got that. he's showing us the clearly the fact that he's capable of identified it. so just some just got that. yeah, we should go back to the history of
7:55 pm
a history of the treaty center this picture because i mean, here, i mean, i have begun, you know, he's been close spent, you know, these deep human aviation opinion and cutting them instead of cutting them pre kept cutting them all kinds of terrible names, do you mean anything them? if the new thing, right, facebook that i did, i never would know and it shouldn't hurt so tight. see that's different, these premiums. that of up to committee, that gives you notes. is very to is your less that you see, and let's go ahead and defend that. so what keeps for example, but i just mentioned about the history of direction to get the american citizen to spend the making of the, of these advocates of power. and so therefore, we have prepared now to see what's happening to the police pinion and see whether it's a cost for all of us. we can not be studying the history of activity in the us. and so i looked up in a to do so, but it's giving you the right, right, well, well, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. profession michelle . the graph at the massachusetts institute of technology where thank you very much
7:56 pm
for inviting me and thank you for i was so hutton to hear the students from you in the so thank you for giving them in for the express the, the deep span of running the interesting that week because of the faculty need to be inspired by any to we need to basically take it for the next level. thank you. thanks so much. so what's the bottom line? the rise of tens of thousands of students in more than 30 us states is going to go down in the nation's history side by side with the protests, against the vietnam war. and the boy caught accidents against apartheid south africa after 8 months of non stop is really devastation in gaza, killing with impunity and with no serious attempts to stop it. students in america have just said enough is enough. all the attempts to smear them is now eve or brain wash or hateful or irrelevant to the daring and bold authenticity of the students and faculty. protests joe biden says, this movement isn't compelling him to change his mind about his policy on israel or palestine. but other americans are starting to question their own long standing
7:57 pm
ideas. many are becoming much more aware of the issues and raising their voices for justice. and that's the bottom line, the despite his exile form or cut them on, lead the carlos, whose demo is set to run for presidents when the spanish regent pulls early elections, could his political return reignite the separatists bid for independence? and how would it impact spain's political landscape? the catalonia elections on a jersey uta now is the time to be direct. israel's project has been to completely conflict zionism and judaism. but this was not a jew, israel's a state. and they need to be treated as any other state. what this is where the tough questions are, as can you see negotiations being even half?
7:58 pm
this is the most important point and bushy poll unapologetic, i'm just asking awesome upfront on out of there after controversial presidential campaign. and the contested victory for both should be unto is said to lead indonesia, se, asia's largest economy. a diverse nation with more than 1300 ethnic groups. political power comes through people. we're not going to be determined by for in none of the presidents. alexis, indonesia, provo, sabean, so talks to l, just 0. a g . a serena has spent most of his life on the war to use the fisherman just like others and his family. but things are different now from when he was
7:59 pm
a boy. in 2022 long days, mcgarr would declared and endangered species. some of the family asked for the home today, he's taking us to the band. so if the only stop leak in central den bode yeah, he sees that he used to see monkeys in droves, him hunting for crap. i down there the more now. so that's why i don't see that time. what did it mean, molnar calling me about some of the power while the off some of the i can only logan carnegie. the monkeys are frightened for good reason, drastic to his doctor and sell them to the highest bidder. to buy a medical research, this black market creed, not only in dangers,
8:00 pm
was brian may populations with books, public health address. because unlike captive read monkeys, there's no guarantee the animals of that engine free. the so no water, no food, a know where it's safe to go. the death toll rises in gaza as thousands of displaced. palestinians fleet is really strikes on the city of the you're watching also 0 light from the headquarters and i'm getting you navigate. the also coming up desperately needed aid is blocked from entering gossip is really protests or staging a sit in have stopped trucks from crossing into the strip.
