2:02 am
attack by supporters of israel. tensions that the university boiled or the off the melting for days or at the university of wisconsin. madison student demonstrations backslash to police officers removed over 110th and they camp and arrested at least a 1000 people. a campus security splits. person says 4 offices were injured as they tried to remove tens from the campus. a central square. the american association of university professors has condemned the columbia university president and board of trustees. that song, so police arrested hundreds of protests on campus ban today. historical with some people who barricaded themselves on monday evening, they made the call and the believe was without even the simple way of communication, or consultation with the faculty or any of the body in faculty and staff as
2:03 am
a lot of our own campus. well that's good to correspond to today's above the she's outside the city of the city university of new york. and today is i believe that they will protest smoke just at columbia university, but also city university on tuesday night. so what's happening then now, as well, that's correct for here outside the city university of new york with a group of students. many of them they've been part of the process happening not only in columbia university, but also here there's being carrying a press conference explaining what's being happening in their campuses. many of them were present doing on tuesday evening during the assault by the police, the new york police and columbia university, where at least 300 students were detained, not only from columbia university, but also from this university where we are right now. the students are saying that
2:04 am
to the campus of columbia university was turned into a war zone that many of their students that were pressing there. some of them were injured, they were treated by other students, have created this this more medical center so they can tend to themselves, to their rooms. they're saying that they will continue, that they're trying to discredit to their movement. let's not forget what the mayor of new york city has said. they're accusing that many of the students have become radicalized. they're saying that the students have been infiltrated by other groups . what happened at the hamilton hall in columbia university with a group of students barricaded themselves. there they, we named one of the 6 year old palestinian girl that was killed by these read the military. so what to the students are doing right now is like trying to get their voice this her trying to explain why they say they will continue to protest. so right now there's a press conference on going here explaining what happened on tuesday evening. what
2:05 am
they went through on tuesday evening, and after that, they're going to march through the streets. because what they say is that the students move and of columbia university and other universities here in new york city is not over. not just the student movement to the people that continue to protest on an off campus as well. what we've been around the city have on this day and we've been seeing several photos happening in some of the parts here in manhattan earlier today. the was a may, 1st of all the tests were there were hundreds of people who got the revere carrying palestinians flags. also showing support to the students who are the students of columbia university for were detained. on tuesday evening, at least 300 students were detained from the city university college of new york, where we are right now and also columbia university. they were showing their support earlier today we were in florida university. another campus was taken by
2:06 am
students that were that incumbent inside the police when team many of those students where detains. and again, we were talking to the students there and they were telling us that they are going to continue. that what they're trying to do is set the lights on what is happening in gaza right now. it's very interesting to see what's being happening, not only in new york, but also in other universities across the country. lots of police presence in every university. and what this students are saying is that they're the next generation in the united states. they're not happy with what is happening in gaza. they're not happy with the u. s. foreign policy, and that's why they're trying to make a has their voice. it's hard to, there's a thank you so much for that. that is today is about joining us live from city university in new york to turn into the west coast. now, in the license of a situation at the university of california, los angeles was so a violent tomorrow of attack,
2:07 am
a peaceful encampment on tuesday night. as of mentioned, protest as have been rebuilding barricades around the camp overnight. some attack is waived as rarely flags of state assaults and demonstrations in some instances with sticks. police are accused of standing by and failing to protect the students . and for the latest on the situation at, did you see how a correspondent dropped reynolds was joining us from the and protest as they're saying they're not going to be intimidation by the violence against the wrong? yes, that's correct. elizabeth, we're on the side of the university of california, los angeles, and behind me you can see the guise of solidarity and camp and set up by student protesters. they have been spending some time today, reinforcing the barrier that keeps them from being attacked by the forces that the that were so violent yesterday an overnight. and in fact,
2:08 am
you could say that overnight, it was as if the united states for the 1st time is getting just a script of violence that has been inflicted on the population of gaza for over 6 months. now, the fallout has been intense. there's a lot of criticism of the administration of this university and a lot of criticism in questioning about why the police were of here. when the pro design is pro israel, a mob approach overwhelms the security guards that were in place. threw aside all the barriers and try to break into the camp. they use fire works, irritant chemicals for raise poles. made of metal and sticks. made of wood as well as fists and feet of more than $100.00 students were injured according to protest
2:09 am
organizers. some of whom were admitted to the hospital and the faculty at this university is up in arms more than $200.00 of them assigned on to a letter, harshly criticising the administration of this university and making a series of demands including that of the police not be unleashed upon the of a student in camp and, and that those students be disciplined for exercising their rights a free speech and saying that if that is not adhered to by the administration, the faculty will consider other matchers including work stoppages is certainly very important. questions about the police response and how long they took to intervene for on when we spoke a few hours before the attack, things were calm. so did it come as a surprise or should police have been better prepared given they were attentions and in some skirmishes a few days earlier. you're exactly right and
2:10 am
that i think that answers the question because there were skirmishes days earlier, and this roop of outside or people from outside the campus community that is not students and many of them are much older than the average college students who are waving is rarely flags and shouting slogans and shouting, insults have been here for days and they have attempted to break into the camp and they have used violence. and so it is a very puzzling as to why there were no police here at, at the moment when the, the riot started and even more puzzling as to why it took hours for the police to arrive. this as los angeles is not some remote location out in the country, there are los angeles police department,
2:11 am
a vehicles and policeman as well as the california highway patrol. ready at the disposal of the mayor and the governor to respond in very quick border, 2 of these types of disturbances. so again, it is a matter of that i, i think perhaps we'll be investigated in the future. but as for now, there are police on the campus, i'm happy to report there are policemen. scattered about this one in this direction here. there may be others hidden away, different jurisdictions, they have the riot, the tons and helmets. so there is the hope that this outburst and spasm of bile is, will not repeat itself once the dark this falls, but the students inside the camp are taking no chances. they're preparing to defend themselves, and they say they're not going anywhere. well,
2:12 am
thank you very much. for that update, that's rob daniels, joining us live from the university of california, los angeles, withdrawing now by jennifer victor. she's a professor of political science at george mason university, and she's joining us live from fairfax virginia. thank you very much for your time . it is of course, an election, the presidential election year and the united states to see these protests having an impact on the campaign so far. i don't think we're seeing an impact on the campaign just yet. and typically, events that occurred 6 months or more outside of the election day don't impact the campaign that much likely the new cycle will move on to something else. eventually, here, however, it remains to be seen exactly how much longer these conflicts will persist. in the past, when we've seen in the way past, when we've seen students unrest um, and protest movements and so forth on campuses,
2:13 am
they have subsided once the semester has ended. so there is a chance that when we, as we, as at the graduations occur and, and campuses wrap up and we move into the summer season and other political issues take center stage, that the campaigns will, will not sort of need to response to this too much of course, those involved with these movements will, will try to do the opposite. yeah, absolutely. and you know, they do say that a, a week is a long time in politics and the election is still some 6 months away. but we have seen the protests move off campus now they're not just taking place in campuses and they have been taking place since the 1000 again. and it's hard. but we know that one of the factors that can affect it incumbent president johnson is social on 1st . is abided administration worried especially given the role of swing states like michigan with a significant our, the american population. or yeah, well there's no question that this, it politically is a more complicated issue for
2:14 am
a president by that and that it is for former president trump. the republican coalition is mostly unified on this issue. that leads and activists are mostly in line in terms of taking a very pro israel stance that's associated with the republican party. so that coalition is still somewhat buried in terms of why people are pro is real, but the outcome is largely the same. but by contrast, in the democratic party, there's a real division on this issue. on the one hand, in the division to some extent comes in age cohorts by generation. and so the older age, her cohorts more traditional democratic based including to some extent of liberal jews in the united states and, and others who tends to be pro is real, but maybe or not. so in favor of the way that netanyahu has handled the conflict that versus as we've seen that through college campuses, the younger generation that is much more interested in humanitarian causes and
2:15 am
seeing a stronger sense of sovereignty for, for palestinian and people and a generation that doesn't come at this issue with the saying historical world war 2 cold war oriented context. uh that the older generation does. yeah, that's a really interesting point that, you know, the 2 parties that the republican party has a lot more united when it comes to the matter of it's rather, the democrats are facing opposition to the policies, to their foreign policy. not just from the very large use of america, but also from within the democratic party of the divisions that you mentioned. we know that another fact that can affect an incumbent president the chances of foreign policy, especially fall in policy when it's seen as a failure. how was bite and fair and in that regard as the us, as unable or maybe unwilling to broke a ceasefire and gaza. so yeah, it's interesting if you think back to, to 2020, invited sort of story political career prior to that the foreign policy has been
2:16 am
one of his strong suits. it's one of the areas on which he is extremely knowledgeable. and he was a chair of the senate for an for an affairs committee for a long time. and this is uh, substantively uh, policy wise, an area of strength for him. however, between if you remember back at the beginning of his presidency to withdraw from afghanistan, that went so terribly. um, he's had a, a couple of, um, sort assembles on foreign policy here through. busy as it ministration, and this one puts him in a, in a pretty tricky political spot given by his own generational status and where the majority of the democratic coalition on is on this issue. i expect biden's to maybe begin to temper to some expense his position. but i don't expect that we'll see a massive shift from him. the fact that it's the younger generation that is mostly a, the source of opposition here is to some extent for biden's purposes. politically convenient
2:17 am
because that's also the generation that doesn't vote as, as heavily. and so to some extent, he may be calculating that he's much better off making sure that he keeps the older voters in his favor, even if that means that he will lose some of these younger voters. jennifer, victor has been great to get your expertise on this and really appreciate it. thank you. thank you very much. i the still ahead on knowledge is 0 workers around the world of the mocking made even many expressions best for palestinian. the hello welcome to have a look at the international full cost of the next batch of severe stones gathering across the plains, the great plains of us pushing into central parts of canada. a head of that most
