2:03 am
a standoff between student protest isn't state troopers. tell us what's going on now. oh yeah, that's an absolutely accurate description. this is a stand off and you can see it right up close here with me. we have austin, police teachers are keeping a line here. they're preventing protesters from getting any closer to the building where they have been holding thousands of earlier student protesters who are being detained. so let me backtrack to explain how we got to this point this morning on campus. it was a silence actually peaceful protest by student protesters as well as faculty member . well then suddenly and encampments from that for the 1st time, some work for tens were arrested on the lawn. with these peaceful protests have been occurring. then protestors gathered in
2:04 am
a tight circle surrounding that encampment and refused to move. and as i was watching, this mere moments passed before the state trooper armed in the riot gear weekly arrived the announce to the students to just now you're seeing what appears to be a conflict between the student protesters and now the police that are holding them back hearing people say that there is a nice and i actually, i haven't seen some pepper spray deployed on the protesters here. i have to emphasize this here. now this has been has worked. so you t austin, kansas. now for over 2 hours. since that initial circle, the cabinet with roku, not leading to some 45 police protesters here,
2:05 am
seeing that there were many people may so we're going to get in closer to see if we can find any of the bad. so i have to say i did earlier see may say news against protesters as the say hi and how do you, what's extraordinary to hear these incredibly loud? i mean we, we can tell we can tell just by looking at the pictures and looking at this and, and this thing kind of shocked me saying that it does look like an incredibly 10 situation. you can now say did, did you think that the situation would develop as it has where we all this moment? yeah, it is a turn situation. i'm sorry, i can hear what you were saying because it's still out here. we're standing. we're, we're kind of, we're kind of around between the protestors and the police certainly by choice. we're here. so everyone is screaming that you are seeing an intense stand. there
2:06 am
was never spray that was deployed. these protesters are obviously very angry, leaving essentially trying to chase the police presence off campus since this afternoon . since those 43 protesters in the enhancements were all passed and dragged away. simon, quite violent manners taken to the ground. and we're seeing people now deploying their their umbrellas, which they've been using to shield against the pepper spray or target. those who have been pepper sprayed, have been as forwarded to a nearby campus building where firefighters have been treating them. and you can probably hear the chance the cindy asked and said what we've been hearing from the campus community saying that the police response to what began is peaceful protests has been heavy handed. and what's
2:07 am
ironic, and what's extraordinary here is that for the initial task, sadie russell, here you'd say a week ago, similar to other places in the country, was different about the initial protest here was there was a near immediate heavy police response. that's how we saw the initial wave of protests and speaking different testers. after that they said there was a chilling about that many people were scared away. and so over the last few days there was just these few sporadic from has very peaceful, maybe a few dozen people top and then suddenly something ignited today. something ignited it this afternoon. when the princess there's decided to start on that small enchantment. and the police changing that as a red line, the u. t. administration saying that any cabinet with the legal act. and because
2:08 am
the students refused to disperse, that you immediately crack down on this. and that's what leads us to this moment. again, after those initial processors arrested and taking over that you see campus has been following this crowd as police have been making their retreats. as they have been a company, the buses and vans caring the rest of this large crowd. i would say at least a 1000 new to students and faculty following the police. they stated their witness and to do these chance on our campus. as you can hear, we can indeed extraordinary scenes and then at the university as texas mean, staying at heidi to a customer, it will be monitoring for us. and as soon as there is any change in the situation, we will close. bring it to you. now let's move on to to raise
2:09 am
a bow. she joins this noise outside columbia university in new york terry's. it's been over 4 hours. i've been east and students to find a deadline to leave campus, so face suspension. what is the situation then now as well? the students remain defined and the main remained here in the campus. you can see right behind me. those are professor as we're wearing orange best they're right up . what is the door of the lease have meant that is happening here inside the university campus, where hundreds of students have been told each carrying out a 15 in the middle of this campus. but also protesting against the general side and with not something that is what they're saying that they would like to see financial transparency from this university. they would like to see the university funds, for example, not being used or being invested in companies that profit from the war. and they
2:10 am
would also like to see, and i'm the states with the students and faculty that have been disappeared. those are their demands. we been hearing from this folks 1st since from columbia university, who says that they have started handing out suspensions to some of the students who are participating in this process. we have not been able to confirm this. however, we have not spoken to any student that has been suspended so far. we have not seen university representative handing and notices for also the possibility, for example, or any type of precedence by law enforcement, which is what happens almost 2 weeks ago when hundreds, at least a 100, a students were detains for protesting. here and this is university, we know also that president of columbia university was under a lot of pressure for calling know enforcement almost 2 weeks ago. and now apparently, she's almost uh, being criticized by alumni by donors, also by democrats for saying that she has failed to disband this in conference.
2:11 am
that is happening right here, where we are. so students who mean defiance, they say that they will remain here. they're not afraid of being suspended ex, facing expulsion or being arrested. they're saying that they're here for a bigger costs. they're here to shut the lights on. the killings on the displace then turned on the hunger that is going on and guys are right now. okay. theresa, but that for us outside columbia university in new york, we can now tend to fill a val. he's live at mit in cambridge, in massachusetts. feel good to see you in a slightly different perspective. i believe where you all where a pro is, where the counts of protest has sprung up. a took us through how that is played out . so yeah, i mean reside suits so well that is in place. somebody must be able to be just missouri me to show you as you might be able to see the is right, the flag right next to the american flag. that is what you might call the official
2:12 am
because the process, it's not very big. it's a couple of people. the reason we're having to zoom in to show you this is because my cumberland and i just went over to try to feel that we were told to double the site and says private police offices that we would be arrested. if we didn't leave immediately, so is obviously, well the police are keeping a distance from the protest as they to not once or the administration. there does not want any journalists on site, and that was made very clear to us. and we've been told by the assessors as well as other child list. i p. tell them say they are. these are test as the student protests is a p d for more than a week. that's why this i covered the 1st round up already 24 hours ago. the president of advice, a set, the old folks are all spot was that it was done because they've reached the style made under protest is would not budge. they were willing to negotiate. although that has not changed, they spend most of the day because the administration of the protesters or some of the protesters behind closed doors, trying to find some kind of solution that works for both the stokes. we understand that all over for the day of factory so that she to go straight to the university
2:13 am
leaving whoever it was on his way home about an hour ago. so we don't, the sound will be any move, but today, and it's very unlikely. we're going to see the police move and because there is a potential for subs, pull the resolution, you know, we've seen those protests and know, facing university. we saw those protests that m as in college, but in both cases, riot police would have played more than a 100 people on each side for arrested at obviously nobody had once or a piece of that. also got to tell you about a couple of other protesters in the immediate area. we have talked to you to best to reach out by the little area of the south today. just to check out what was coming on. there was a small process that they've been told by the university that that should be dismantled by the end of today. it's not clear if, if i need to send, the police said there's no police presence from you. that basically just kind of crease negotiations, but also harvard university about wealth amos university, just a few miles from where we are. there is a process to be hi, lumped scapes right now. are the people with a harvard university passes are allowed on the sides. although the chief of police,
2:14 am
the on campus has said, look, i am not going to arrest anybody. people can be violence, they can be destroy the prophecy, then all the rest, the. but if the university asks me, i'm not going to do it. so, but my job is to make sure that i've just because i pulled up the university. harvard university is threatening disciplinary, actually with some students think told that they may have a degrees held back. okay, thank you for that. phil laval at 1st at mit in cambridge, massachusetts. and now from the process of george washington university in the american capital, his, she ever times here at george washington university, you got the sense of being count much as put down roots. it was a process that really began when the students themselves pulled down the barricades, but the police had erected in order to enclose the encounter and prevent students from getting water and food. without the barricades down on the police are suggesting that they're not gonna take any further action. despite the entry cheese
