crack down on protest is demonstrating against george's so called foreign influence belt the . so if we give him the ongoing coverage of arrest of protesters at columbia university in new york, just in the past few hours, police entered the campus and arrested a number of students who, occupying a historic whole off of the barricade themselves inside university, says that requesting police to enter the campus in order to restore what is called safety and order to our community. and it's awesome to stay on site until may 17th . well, students in new york and across the us. i've been calling for an end to the will on garza and for their academic institutions to find that street divest from israel. the
7:02 am
let's go live down to christian sleeman. she's just outside columbia university, so it appears that the police operation has ended, christine, but a heavy presence does remain on the streets, took us through the scene that's being that tonight. yes, well it was a little after 9 pm local time that the police entered the campus at the request of the university administration. but they were there for under 2 hours. and in that time arrested about 50 people at least 50 people. but even before they entered the campus, everyone knew this was coming. a police bands and buses started showing up on the outside of the campus and the streets around the surrounding, the campus blocks and blocks of new york city streets were shut down to 3 traffic.
7:03 am
and the call went out from the demonstrators on campus and inside the hall to supporters outside to come and show up. and they did. and when i 1st arrived here, there were a demonstrators in the streets as well. also, fellow students and faculty members, just monitoring the situation, coming to show support and express their concern about what was going down on the campus. police moved in quickly and entered the building, broke through the doors that had been barricaded by the demonstrators who occupied that building. while at the same time, dispersing the demonstrators who were standing locked armed, starting the front of the building as well. and some of them were thrown to the ground. some of them were dragged off. uh, some of them were arrested,
7:04 am
but others were basically how sold quickly off campus. the demonstrators that i spoke to who had been inside describe being pushed and shoved and hustled off. they were very upset, very shaken, and while they were not arrested like the others, they are facing suspension from the campus for their activities as well. of course, and what's been the reaction to all of this is an extraordinary sean's will see it of us keeping saying the sub university said that this is a security concern that the occupying the building had escalated the situation. that they are concerned that demonstrators who have no affiliation to the university were taking part. and this was a concern echoed by the mayor of the city who claimed to have the evidence that outside agitators were taking part in the demonstrations. he showed video from
7:05 am
security cameras showing master people that as they entered the building and broke windows and to get inside the building and also blocked the doors and the entrances . but a lot of the students and faculty members that i talked to here, see that as a don't by that. what was said there, they say this was a peaceful student demonstration that the students, you know, had instigated this for all, for the reason of a shining light on the situation in gaza and in the palestinian territories that they wanted to draw attention to this and, and there's been a lot of blow back towards the administration from the faculty at the school that has come down the use of police in the 1st round a. and i think we can expect that we'll have similar reaction to the 2nd round of
7:06 am
arrest as they happen tonight. a lot of concern, a lot of attention being focused on this and you know, columbia university has a long history of try a long tradition of protest. and many saw this in line with colombia as a tradition of teaching human rights. and as and so it was very opposed by many of the faculty and date of christmas name. he brings the same to just outside columbia university. thanks very much, kristen. a lot of you. i spoke to cameron james, he's a lead. organize a company as jewish voice for peace. he says there's widespread support amongst students for the leadership of columbia university to resign. i think we have seen the university try again and again to silence pro palestine voices on campus. and every time they tie the silent, but we only get louder, we only bring lights and numbers to our valley's largest number to add to our protests. so i am certain that you will see a large,
7:07 am
large blow back from the student body from faculty, from alumni in the coming weeks. we will not stand for this biling police brutality on our campus, and we will stand up for what we believe is. but what to arrest a suspension from universities mean for students and does it not intimidate them? i would say students are very intimidating, but it is nothing compared to what policy means that they think in gaza every day and be recognized the purpose that we have. and be back to ignite that we have to put our lives at best. so we can protect individuals in gaza in the west bank in history. did you see students threatening stop? was there a breakdown and order with us threats to security on campus tomorrow? as far as that is that i have not heard any threats against staff or public safety . and the occupation of hamilton hall, which has not been renamed in hall,
7:08 am
was nothing but peaceful. no one was time and there was no violence of any sort. the only valleys we have seen now is by the n y, p d being brought in, some violent me a rest peaceful protest. this coming in response to all of this was all students are asking for of the university all the calls for the administrators, or indeed the president, president, suffolk to step down over this. so yeah, so slightly there was a large, large support for me need to seek to resign for laura rose and barry to resign to the president of fine arts and for a whole investigation that i've seen this happen in the past few weeks to be done as well as being a wave of all the protests against, as well as will and gauls or universities across the united states. after students were rest of the university of texas in austin on monday, many was still being held in jail on tuesday. how's your castro has more?
7:09 am
there has been a slow trickle of the protesters that are being released according to the university of texas austin, administration. 79 people were arrested for mondays protests and they had been charged with. we're seeing a lot of criminal trespassing as a major charge here. and now more than 24 hours later, still the vast majority remain inside the jail that's behind me. and that's despite the calls that you're hearing behind me of not only 3 talestine because of 3, those pro testers. these are you teach students some faculty member and other members of the austin community, the house of vigil over night waiting for every last one of those arrested to be released. and joining us, his guest, who was an attorney has been helping some of those that have been detained as well as some of the thanks for joining us. tell me about the charges that these individuals are facing. and some of the criticism that, you know,
7:10 am
this started out as a peaceful protest. so are these charges valid? i think it's important to note this counselor, these continue to be peaceful protests. they started as peaceful protests. and that never changed. and these students are protesting. and for exercising a right constitutionally guaranteed to them at a public university. no, them broke any laws that the university of texas police department threatened them with the criminal trespass morning if they refuse to disperse, which is something they shouldn't have been asked to do in the 1st place. so in, in short, to answer a question, no, i don't think these charges are valid. how many have been released to your knowledge and what is, what is it that they are going to experience now? so i'm just having been here a couple of hours today, it seems like only a handful, probably no more than 5 or 6 if i had to guess have been released. obviously if the students had been here for a very long time, and i'm sure i'd, it goes without saying being and being in
