this is a scene at columbia university. it isjust is a scene at columbia university. just past 9pm local time. you can see protesters and a large police presence. traffic has been shut down in both directions along broadway. some speculations that authorities might be about to clear these demonstrators from their place, especially those who have been occupying a campus building. ito local radio reports, students have been told to shelter in place and according to a university e—mail, they could be non— disciplinary action. this happens after administrators threatened to expel students who occupied a building. dozens of demonstrators seized hamilton hole, defying a deadline to dispose. they say they plan to remain at their until the us cut financial ties to israel's. protists must be peaceful and lawful according to a statement. taking over buildings is not peaceful but wrong. demonstrations have erupted from coast to coast, many resulting in arrests including at the university of excess in austin. police clash with protesters. the deal has been made with protesters if

minoosh, the president of columbia university. congress was summoned to ask questions of representatives about what anti-semitism is in the university columbia replied, of course, summoning the presidents of universities is not new for this reason. two or three months ago, the presidents of harvard university of pennsylvania and mit university were also summoned , but unlike those three who supported the right of students to express their protest. mrs. minoosh shafiq has a different approach. he took it and gave the students 24 hours to vacate that area, but they also resisted and the police intervened, that is, the university president requested that the police enter, so probably the difference between columbia university and the previous university was that the university president he didn't want to lose his job like those university presidents and he went along with the congress and now the system that is ruling in america and asked the police to come to the scene. what happened next? then we saw that the protests quickly spread

spark the recent student protests from columbia university ended with the arrest of 108 students. the young man and the president of the university failed to stop the protests two days ago, the police took dozens of arrested students to prison by bus. at the university of california, los angeles, a group of supporters of the zionist regime attacked students who gathered in support of palestine with sticks and iron rods. these students are here to express their protest. also , be the voice of those who cannot voice their protest and for what they believe in. flag students at the university of north carolina bringing down america and replacing it with the palestinian flag, which was accompanied by the arrest of at least 36 students by the police , demonstrations have been held in other countries in support of the protesting american students. university of california students attack. they will be surprised if the police do something against the zionists. freedom of speech is dead. it is said that americans who support palestine and are against palestine behave differently than, for e

they both inside columbia university. they being single day that they're under siege because he's very early in the morning. this come university has been completely isolated. all the students inside i've been asked to for food and water, among other things on the students that are on the side have been bringing it in. but as you can see right now, the police officers are moving into the building. one by one is not clear yet how they're going to carry out this operation. but we have already seen at least 7 or 8 students that were outside and close to the gate inside of the university being detained. and it's very, very likely that something like this will happen again. columbia university has been threatening the students that are inside with expulsion. that's the waste thing. they did not leave the building on monday if there was already a deadline that those that we made inside and being transmitted in this fit. and that is happening inside in the middle of the campus that given the students until 2 pm, no time on monday

look at these people entering columbia university, harvard , pinston, these must be elite students, these are people. there are because the elite of that history read maybe more than. universities are very difficult , there are also children from richer families, the cost per second of ten universities is 90 thousand dollars. they want to charge extra fees from some of them to fire or suspend them, which is nothing. these students are familiar with the history of palestine and the history of west asia, as they read history. because they are elite, we don't have a shortage of elite students in our country, but maybe you are also a student. something happened, that's why they are trained, that's why when they get a stick in their head, it happens in the columbia university environment. he is demonstrating outside the university. when i saw a tweet, a female student had tweeted her dismissal letter from columbia university. she had said that i was suspended when i participated in the demonstration in support of the palestinian people, and then because it was closed, there was no place for th

the campus president, many things and david brings to view from where you are just outside columbia university. just to remind view is that it's a couple of hours since police and neal police entered columbia campus around 50 of them entered hamilton. the whole, the number of students had been held up since monday night. according to own correspondence. the latest figure is around 50 students were arrested. they were taken away on to bosses to police plaza in new york, where they will be protests where they will be processed. also, all the incumbents on the university we understand have been cleared. but we've been hearing from students that this is not the end of the protests that they are not going to be intimidated by the crack sandwiches, weeks. extraordinary levels, the in columbia university. this nice in new york. the now is a diplomatic push on the way to reach a ceasefire, and garza with the us existing pressure on the home us to agree that as well as tom's bought prime minister benjamin netanyahu has bound to attack rafa in southern garza. whether or not there was a seas find that a

the many police of the many, a unit and columbia university also send out a press release of to 9 pm, saying that they requested additional support and told a new york police department to go in a university and to arrest the students. we've seen at least 3 buses with a students that have been arrested and leaving the area, but we don't have a clear number yet of how many students were arrested in who's still on campus for our let's remember that access was already denied to students into the fact that the stuff and only essential, essential stuff. and also those students who live inside were allowed to enter a campus earlier today. and you mean a lot of police officers there a lot of passionate protesters. how would you describe the interactions between those 2 groups from what you've seen? so the several approaches boots and that's what we've seen also with a couple of days, there was a lot of chanting also here that still many waiting and see what's happening with all those a car say from the police leaving. but it's important to make the difference of those who protested inside an

from coast to coast more than 1100 people. detain student protests began just 2 weeks ago at columbia university in new york, where reports of violence and anti semitism have quickly tested the limits of free speech. it's also testing the patience of parents, professors, politicians, and the public. i'm bring coughing, berlin, this is the day the we're seeing across this country, people coming out by the thousands and solidarity of palestine. i know there are people here who think possibly that they are calling for a piece at a ceasefire. and unfortunately, the folks on the green today are really just doing some of this work for them as far as police presence. that's up to the colleges and universities. us for them to decide. they tell us we're going to come tonight. we're going to come today. we're gonna come tomorrow, they're just tiring us out. is we're open. scare tactics. read nothing compared to the desk. october 34th. so i was in the policy also coming up the you ins, top court refuses to order germany to stop exporting weapons to is real. welcome to our argument and their role is the quo

columbia. it's not safe for me to be there. so for a universityse of events that we're seeing here is troubling. but now columbia is simple low symbol of, you know, lord do stuff hundred plus universities around the country where people are protesting events have happened in like we're university of texas where 45 out of 79 of the students arrested and at ut we're from outsiders, not even students on campus. >> does that effect. do you think the way that perhaps the legacy of these schools might be impacted obviously, when we talk about the physics years ago, that was a majority of students, but now, as you've mentioned, does that proportionality impact the legacy it does to this degree, i was sewn at university of southern california right now and it's attention filled and people are trying to study. >> i mean, 400 that were arrested, say at columbia tonight or what's going on at us? a c they're just all these other students that this is a big moment of their life, but they're big commencement ceremony. i heard one of the leaders of the student m

more than 100 students have been arrested at columbia university. the wave of protests is much wider than america, we are witnesses. there were student demonstrations in tunisia, jordan, lebanon and several other countries . it seems that considering the inflammation in american universities, it seems that these student demonstrations and protests will continue and a news analyst i was checking. an analyst said that the harsh treatment of the police has caused many people who may not have a strong stance against the zionists to join the students and protestors. dealing with the cessation of american support for the zionist regime and in addition to this, the wave of protests has spread to the streets of the united states and they are demanding freedom and have been arrested and protesting students. these attacks have targeted the buildings of the settlement of the zionist military in the town of metwala in the north of occupied palestine. the lebanese resistance also announced that they attacked some of the zionist soldiers during the cleaning operat

columbia university, there is still a standoff. the nypd arrived, she was there. many police officers in full gear ready to face off, they climbed through the windows to clear the university building of the protesters. this student said bbc that the police acted harshly. there was someone unconscious on the floor, they arrested him and took him in, four people were pushed down the stairs while they were unconscious, and it was the nypd. both here and at the city university of new york , about 300 protesters were arrested. they put on handcuffs and took them away in a car park. the authorities are sure that third-party agitators and well-known anarchists infiltrated the demonstration. it is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals in radicalizing our children and i will not allow this will happen as the mayor of new york city. and in the afternoon outside the columbia university campus, the students, joined by many of their teachers, defiantly continued. from the university to sell all t

can you please relate to the building of columbia university occupied by students protesting and some of the hours a which kind of study and they will send you a multiple times, a pilot signed a solid hours. he's sitting at the university of california. the secretary of state tends to be blinking. his methods rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu in west jerusalem. lincoln said a deal for a cease fire in dogs was achievable and reiterated us opposition to it is ready ground defensive. in rafa place in took you have detained at least 200, demonstrates as mocking international work, and stay in a stumble using purpose, right, and take us to disperse, the crowds. the technician authorities and bands riley's most of these main square since demonstrations were held in 2013 against the president and his government. the off position says that that policy will keep up the protest until the band is listed or in the french capital. thousands of also gather to take part in a box like by the countries made unions that demand invented, paid working conditions was also launch is suppose the pale

now, columbia university's is set to happen may 15th, and we're now learning the university has asked the nypd to stay there until the 17th, so two days later. and while columbia initiated the pro-palestinian encampments on campus, it's only emboldened similar situations across the nation. so ucla police set up barricades to separate the two groups of protesters. >> and now the school is moving to shut down the pro-palestinian encampment ,warning students it's unlawful and to leave immediately or face possible expulsion or even suspension. on yale's campus, there were about 50 people arrested a week ago. the school said in a statement it supports peaceful protesting but won't tolerate policy violations. then at brown university, an agreement was actually reached between school officials and protesters. and part of that agreement, says protester took down their tents. they took them down by tuesday night. in exchange for university leaders to vote on whether they divest funds from companies that support the israeli military campaign in gaza. and finally, at northwestern, protesters too

we assume most of them are then in mind, columbia university. it has one of the largest jewish student populations of any college university in the us. and this is where calls to divest from is real seem to have found the loudest voice. does that surprise you? and it doesn't necessarily surprise me. i think it's a, it's deeply disturbing though. however, when you bring up that specific point about the jewish population, columbia university, you used to have a jewish quota all the way into the 1960. so we're talking about civil rights in the united states. it wasn't just uh, the black population that was redlined in the united states. it was also the jewish population. and so the civil rights movement was actually a combination led by black leaders like reverend martin luther king junior. but jewish leaders were a key part of the civil rights movement. sort of see this happening at columbia. and in particular, right, i haven't heard anybody else point this out yet. alexander hamilton was the most pro jewish founding father of the united states. a

student protests against the gaza war started at columbia university. ndreds of students gathered in the university campus. student protests in america have intensified and its scope has expanded to other universities found tents have been set up at columbia, new york, georgetown, george washington and the university of texas at austin. these protests have spread to universities in spain and france, and the police intervened to disperse students who had set up dozens of tents on the university campus in france. the students of the american universities who are witnessing the protests demanded a permanent ceasefire in gaza and the cessation of the american military aid to israel and the withdrawal of the funds of the american universities from the arms exporting companies and other companies that exploit the war. they also they demanded the cancellation of the measures against the professors and students who were punished or fired due to the protests , and now the question is whether the student protests will work again and will lead to stopping the human

now columbia university is just one of many universities across the united states where we're seeing pro palestinian protests. are those protests likely to continue william after these arrest the columbia? i think if past is prologue, we can say that will continue in some way, shape or form is becoming something of a whack a mole situation where police and university officials will crack down on one encampment or one set of protest. just going to pop up somewhere else. i don't see these protests are going anywhere anytime soon. they do run kind of an arc. there is a story arc here, and we'll see what the political impact is. there's a lot of parallel to the black lives movement in 2020, which was also a presidential election to your of course. then in 2020, there was a lot of support among the democrats buying for power against donald trump in 2020 . just sort of take up the cause of the black lives matter. moving to make it a political issue in 2024 when it comes to israel, palestine, there's not a whole lot of support for very strong pro palestinian efforts and movements. so the pol
