5:07 pm
you know, the social networks were all told that they expected the police to come. so we came out here um to, to demonstrate our support for, for me personally for the american values, i believe in the police been rated hamilton hong. they broke a window and, and to view the 1st floor their objective to detain. the students who had barricaded themselves inside keels broke out on campus. the students were evicted from the whole police, as dozens were arrested. in a statement, the university explained its decision to calling the police. it says students had for security guards out of the building and sweating members of staff. the administration says it was not prepared to risk the safety of the university or further escalation. but many students say this won't stop them from protesting, and that there are, do men still stand being to do that misty for the students and faculty members who
5:08 pm
have been suspended or expelled. they also want the university to stop investing in companies. they say, profit from east wells war. well, i can say that this is definitely not the end. this has happened as a, as a result of, i mean, we had a mass arrest already of just last week and we continued to escalate. we're continuing, we're not one of our mottos is disclosed. divest, we will not stop, we will not rest. and i can save that for even the students that were obtained. nobody is resting. in fact, we will probably step up our game and we will not stop until columbia meets our demands. students say, this is a continuation of the movement that began here during the vietnam war. columbia university is a place that inspired a movement across the united states to demand an end to the world gas had to demand demand to is riley o q patient. many of the students we have spoken to are saying that whatever happens next,
5:09 pm
the students of columbia university have already made history. but it's, i will, as i see that new york. and the last are new york city mer. eric adams has commented on last night's events. he says, the individuals have broken to columbia is kansas, were not affiliated with the university. there was a movement to radicalized young people, and i'm not going to wait until this done. and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it. this is a global problem. the young people are being influenced by those who are professionals and radical eyes in our children. and i'm not going to allow that to happen as it may of the city of new york. so the minimum i live in new york city police publishing prob, yourself, at the request of columbia university of after speaking with them throughout the week at their request. and big knowledge means that outside agitators were on the grounds, training
5:10 pm
a really co opt in this move gabriella zone, as donors not from outside columbia university in new york, we just heard eric items there warning of what he caused with by the collaboration of young people but also in that press conference, an hour ago he was supporting the n y p d 's handling of the situation. what people they're saying about this on campus. yeah, that's right. really new york is really waking up to the news of what transpired. uh, overnight hours here with this incredible police repression of this anti war protest here. as you might be able to see behind me, they're still police outside here at columbia university. it's all calm. for the most part, they're not allowing journalists inside, also checking student id. so say go in as well, but in terms of what students think here the morning after, let's talk to one right now to get a sense of that big nod. busy thanks for joining us here and how does your appreciate your talking to us?
5:11 pm
you're a student journalists, your student here at columbia, but you're also a journalist here at the campus newspaper. correct? now, the campus newspaper by the columbia journalism school. that's right, absolutely. uh, what did you see last night? lets start there was right inside these gates. uh our names them when the police were outside arrest vega pro by this time professors who had lined up right on the gates to prevent the might be from coming in. so 1st i saw 1st time how the police despise those. uh, those products going on, arrested them. uh, and sometimes got pretty aggressive in making sure that the professors went away. so that'd be good. and, and what do you mean by aggressive the police progressive? how so how, what did you mean? the protesters didn't want to leave and they were standing pretty resolutely in front of the, in front of the gates and the police sort of came in and move them by force, arresting them as well. let me go to this now, hamilton hall, those social media images that we saw. a right please storming hamilton hall.
5:12 pm
where were you when that transpired, what happened there was trying right off the, covering the port out the dns that happened right outside the gates. i tried to get in closer to hammer than hard, but i was barricaded by the police. the police denied entry even to members of the press, including the student press in front of cameras and hall out to get in front of what's more that there was several john, this student just, we're already in front of him, is involved when the police came in several of them, in fact, most of them were moved out of the campus by the officials and they were not allowed to document what took place when the police came in front of him. and so they were student journalists in front of hamilton, hall and other journalists were not allowed there. right. so a student journalist had somewhat special access because your students as well, correct? that's right, that's right. and there were students journalist in front of hamilton hall to do their job and documents when the police stormed hamilton hall. but you're saying
5:13 pm
that the police forcefully move those journalist out. that's right. a box from a of, of couple of john is the result who still managed to remain that most of my classmates and colleagues and fellow student journalists were removed from campus. there was station in front of hampton hard because they knew that's why the police action was going to be. but unfortunately, they couldn't document or bear witness to any of the impulse names that happened on campus. on the others, like my side of who, who around what not allowed entry anywhere close to do how many doesn't hold it. so in essence of what we, what we've seen, even the footage we've seen off and individuals falling down the stairs, presumably as a result of all of the police. despite a sudden all of protesters that we've got very little footage of what actually took place. and the big reason for that is that large numbers of the student press were not allowed to be bad. whereas the very easily could have been stationed at a small distance away, or even a medium distance away from the hall without intervening onto fielding and the
5:14 pm
police action. this thing very quickly where we're running out of time, the mayor said in a press conference that there were students, i'm sorry, outside agitators taking part in this very quickly. did you see any evidence of that? now look of the, the, the, the, the end might be the key or the has got everyone arrested who was inside hamilton hall, right? so they have records, they should give us the evidence. they should present the evidence right now because they have the identities of the people who being arrested. so it's, it's not too hard for the police department to find out who's the columbia university id hold on who's not. so we look forward to hearing those numbers from the might be the bill of those numbers and that evidence is presented. we really can speculate and shouldn't be speculating on whether be with these outside agitators or not. absolutely, thank you very much. very good point. appreciate you talking to us here and how does here that you heard from a student, a journalist here very clearly stated, we shouldn't expect to wait. and we won't speculate about who was arrested and what their motivations are. other than, uh, it was an anti war protest. as i wrap up here,
5:15 pm
i will tell you that the president of columbia university has requested that n y p d, new york police department maintain their presence here at this university for another, at least 2 weeks. great, thanks very much indeed, gabriel. i was on to talking to some outside columbia university in new york, or a different navigate efforts around a way to reach a ceasefire in gaza with the us pressuring hom us to agree to israel's terms. second and started on any blank things, match prime minister benjamin netanyahu in israel to push for the view he says is achievable, lincoln's also to match and yeah, who the us and still opposes a grand defensive and does offer on but there needs to be an improvement in the distribution, if you monitor and aid him to gaza, we're just trying to get started to bring the hostages all together now. and the only reason that that wouldn't be changed just because of a loss. there is a policy,
5:16 pm
as we said till delays. there was no excuses. the time is now and the time is now long past due to the same time, even determination to get to cease by the police officers. all we also have to be focused on people engaged for suffering in this cross bar from us to get more with this with our correspondent, unoccupied distribution and stephanie decker and we blinking this as long as the past due to the gap is really hostages home to their families can't ignore either they suffering the people in gaza are going through, i'm paraphrasing there. what's the objective of this visit, stephanie? us? yes. well, he's coming to discuss multiple things. one to push for that hostage deal to, to deliver the message again that, that off or offensive in its current form as a major ground. defensive is something that the americans don't support and you heard from his sound bite there. well,
5:17 pm
so he's pushing for more age to be let in to goal is that now the americans have put a lot of pressure, particularly since the beginning of the world, central captured aid workers about american n g o. for more to be done more a to go in for aid workers to be protected, he will be visiting, we're expecting him any point to pop up and get him at the side. and this is one of the main costing points that aid has been entered in. the south of the goal is to strip the port of i saw it, which is around 40 kilometers away from garza. and he'll be cutting these rays as is already said today publicly that he wants more a to go in. and it will also be from what we understand talking about some details of the normalization deals with the saudis of courses. a lot of further geo political issues are being discussed behind the doors when it comes to a deal when it comes to the next day in goal. is that things extremely, extremely complicated. certainly at the moment, talk to us about that deal because of course, that there's a deal that to enter the big concerns is a very good deal that is pressuring hom,
5:18 pm
us to take. i did tell us to some of the details of that. oh yes, he says he's cautiously optimistic about this deal. where are we at will we expect to hear from him? asked this evening. it's responds to what is accounted proposal already by his res out briefly. what it entails is a 40 days. he's fire $33.00 hostages captives will be released. they pull under the amount of tearing umbrella. so those over 50 years of age women and those 6, i'm in charge of israel in response will release around just under a 1000 prisoners. its troops will move itself somewhat from the corridor that cops garza in half and some kind of thing is, will be allowed to return to what remains of their homes north. if that is achieved, then we understand. the 2nd phase is something that they're called a period of sustain call. now, this is very interesting because how mazda is position. one of them has been there needs to be an enter the war, these really position,
5:19 pm
and it's something that netanyahu has been reiterating. a very loud and clearly yesterday and today active lincoln is that there will not be an enter the war, but also will happen whether there's a deal or not. he's also told lincoln that you know where he's very interested in making a deal. he's also determined to topple how much so it was very difficult to see where the 2 sides are going to find compromise. but i think again, anything at the moment as possible, i'm going to have to wait and see what else comes up with. what is different this time from all the previous negotiations is that these rate is to say, if there isn't a deal, they're going to go into the hall and they're going to go into stephanie jackson and occupied these services. and thank you as well on the ground. and guys are these really monitors attacking your residential areas across the strip and civilian casualties. and mounting by the day was 34 and a half funds and palestinians are being killed in nearly 7 months of war. they one of the latest attacks and as try comes off on the side of killed at least 2
