More Israel-Gaza protests at US universities

Police have arrested dozens of students across US universities this week after a crackdown on pro-Palestine protests on campuses

There have been more pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests across univeristiy campuses in the US. More than 500 people have been arrested. And there have been complaints about Jewish students being intimidated. We hear from students and get the latest developments from our correspondents in the US.

We sit down with our regional editors to discuss America's top diplomat, Anthony Blinken's visit to China. At the start of wide-ranging talks in Beijing, Mr Blinken said the world's two largest economies had a shared responsibility to avoid misunderstandings and miscalculations. China's foreign minister Wang Yi said that the US-China relationship is beginning to stabilise but there is still a risk the two could slide into conflict. We look at the wider implications of the ongoing diplomacy.

This week US President Joe Biden has signed a $95bn foreign aid package, which included $61bn in military aid for Ukraine. But many in Ukraine fear it might not be enough to combat Russia's advance. We hear a conversation with Ukrainians living in the US.
