this is hamilton hall.ea where dozens of protesters have now occupied the office of undergraduate admissions is here as well as the dean of college office is here among other things. you can see the sign that's unfurled there it says free palestine. we haven't seen any students come out that that have occupied this since about 12:30 in the morning. haven't seen any faces in the windows yet or anything like that. i will have anthony pan over to the left a little bit though. those buildings right there, those are dormitories for freshmen and sophomores alike. right down the block. and this is the issue is that this is our final exam study days today. and right next door to the library and to the dormitories, you have these protesters who have taken upon themselves to occupy hamilton hall here. and if i bring you over here, you can see this is as close as we are, unfortunately able to get. to the front of the building. but this is hamilton hall here and anthony is going to go in and show you. we haven't seen a

this is hamilton hall. this is the building that has been broken into my occupiers, by student protesters. the sign has been unfurled and says "free palestine," and we have yet to see any students poke their head out or anything. this is a large building on campus, this is where the deans offices are and academic admission. this is how close we are to the dorm. rest of the block is dormitories for sophomores and freshmen students. a jewish student walked by and spoke to the producer and said, i can't study, i can can't sleep. he said it is unfair and he doesn't feel like he has majority support as a jewish person on this campus. that is the feel we are getting. we have not heard from the university except for announcement from public safety. walk to the gate. that announcement is there is limited access to columbia university that only allows people to come in through this gate on ammerstam avenue entra entrance. only students who live on campus and employees who are needed and essential can be on campus. o

hamilton hall here at columbia. you mentioned the university has now restricted access to this main campus to only students who live on this particular campus and dormitories. and essential personnel needed. that is the only people allowed that is a -- that's a change. that's different. usually the media was allowed in, at least for a couple hours in the middle of the afternoon it. doesn't look like that's going to happen today. a lockdown of the university to only those who live on campus and essential personnel. we will show you over here this is hamilton hall. this the is building right here on this corner occupied beginning at about 12:30 this morning. dozens of students are inside. they broke windows. they reportedly put black bags over the security cameras and they are inside there with sleeping bags and backpacks and they say they are going to stay there unless their demands are met. divestment from israel. transparency over how columbia is divesting their money. they want universal amnesty. they don't want t

they renamed hamilton hall hines hall, in honor of a six-year-old palestinian girl who was reportedly killed in gaza on january 29th during military operations there from israel. that is what they have renamed hamilton hall at the campus. nypd here -- they are here, have not been called in by the university, they are on standby and there are no plans to go in, they have not received as of last hour instruction from columbia to go in or do anything about dozens of protesters occupying hamilton hall on the other side of that gate. >> todd: when i hear you say there were workers inside, legal alarm bells go off, that is false imprisonment and kidnapping and not something any law should absolve anyone from. you can't say, i want amnesty for false imprisonment or kidnapping, that is not how this works. maybe a broken window and i shouldn't go that far. that cannot happen. you mentioned the press rel releases, you are more than a couple kids gathering on the school green to voice your. this is organized by outside forces. any sense how much outside forces, financially backed entitiies are l

it's worth noting this building, hamilton hall, named for alexander hamilton. it's home to the office of the dean of columbia college and has been the site of many protests over the year is notably in 1968, cnn's polo sandoval is on columbia's campus early this morning, covering all of this forest polo. what's the latest casey, this would be a significant development you see for nearly two weeks that we've been following this both on and off campus. >> protesters, these pro-palestinian demonstrators have really kept to that in cabinet itself, in kelvin and question. that is really the start of this massive movement we've seen across the country. however overnight as you're able to see in some of these pictures, not only from the ground, but also in the air, you can see what appears to be many, many, many demonstrators, individuals that have actually gone up to that hamilton hall, as you pointed out, is a significant important building here housing the dean of columbia college and appears to use a benches, tables as well to barricade the entrance of that of that

then student protesters took over hamilton hall, the occupied it for days on end. they block the gene and it's office and actually this is still where the dean of columbia college has his office today. so this is a very significant building. it's also where the center for the core curriculum is. and that's the academic cornerstone of the columbia college experience. so there's a reason why they chose this building to do it and make no mistake that they are trying to continue the student activists some of the 1960s and the 1980s, they see as one and the same jessica, you are jewish at yourself and there was, of course the warning at that jewish students should go home from a rabbi affiliated with columbia. >> these protesters, these occupiers have unfurled a banner that it says intifada on the outside of the building. can i just ask you you're reaction to that and how you have felt about your own safety as a jewish student? >> yeah. i mean, the word into fatah, if you'll ask a pro-palestinian protester, they'll say, well, it just means revolution. and they might eve

and they have now breached this building here, this academic building here, hamilton hall, there are dozens of students now inside hamilton hall making the same demands using every day they can to block the doors it so that's to not let any officials, police, or anyone else inside and they have put some of their banners outside so that the public could see that they're in there. this one reads three palestine in both english and arabic. and so that is what we're seeing on the campus right now. the university will on, we're supposed to all at 2:00 there were supposed to be moving from the university telling students they had though 2:00 on monday to leave campus or face repercussions that 2:00 came and went. the students decided to stay put and now you are seeing them occupying a building here in on the columbia campus. now, i want to go straight to our julia vargas jones. she is on-campus. she is a student at columbia university and a colleague and reporter. julia julia i i'm sorry. what are you saying? okay. julia, i want to get some sense of what the scene what the scene looks like

i'll show you hamilton hall over here. this all began at about 12:30. the students stormed that building and they are still inside. they say they will not leave that building until three major demands are met. one, the university divests from all things israel. two, they're transparent about the companies they are giving money. to say and three, probably at this point, most importantly, they want universal amnesty. they don't want to face any discipline or punishment for the encampment that's been in place here since april 17th. now, for breaking and entering into this building. there were some students earlier who explained the situation last night when these students went from the encampment and stormed the building, used rope and zip ties and tables and chairs to barricade themselves inside. take a listen. >> there was professional burglars who helped break into hamilton hall. and, again, there is no response from public safety. they were truly nowhere to be found. i also saw a student who was trying to prevent them from barricading, continuing to ba

the protesters put on their masks and hundreds came out to mobilise and walk over to hamilton hall.l, bringing with them some gates that had been outside the encampment and also zip ties to lock the doors behind them and of the hundreds of protesters that came out, only a dozen or so, the organisers at the encampment, entered first or in the rest of the protesters formed a human barricade outside of the building. locking arms, bringing tables and trash cans, different items of the steps of the hall to make it difficult for anyone to enter those were the events overnight.— anyone to enter those were the events overnight. those are the events overnight. those are the events overnight _ events overnight. those are the events overnight and _ events overnight. those are the events overnight and i - events overnight. those are the events overnight and i want - events overnight. those are the events overnight and i want to l events overnight. those are the i events overnight and i want to put events overnight. those are the - events overnight and i want to put a live pictures at the seams

this, as the action in the building continues, the demonstrators there in the building renamed hamilton hall and hall. they did that in honor of the 6 year old girl who was killed in dogs. the people who tried to come and rest of the who were also killed. this is what a student activist said just a short time ago about the ongoing action in the after 206 days of genocide and over 34000 palestinian martyrs, columbia community members. took back hamilton hall just after midnight and autonomous group reclaimed hen hall, previously known as hamilton hall. in honor of his raja gauze in mart are murdered at the hands of the genocidal is real estate at the age of just 6 years old. this escalation represents the next generation of the 196819851992 student movements which columbia once repressed, yet celebrates today. protesters have boys their intention to remain at hand hall until columbia concedes to quads 3 demands, which are divestment financial transparency and amnesty the so again, the demonstrations are continuing suspension. notices are being sent to students and the threat of explosion for

making a barrier to be dragged into hamilton hall.n example of two individuals breaking into windows. again, the black block attire is something that we have seen in protest activity for quite some time. barricades that are being dragged in to hamilton hall. again, people unaffiliated with the school who are assisted in having -- allowing them entry. some training sessions that are occurring within the encampment itself. itself. you know, that is something that the university has been very clear that only university students are to be allowed within the encampment. and these are just some still shots of some of the property destruction that we saw within hamilton hall, the windows breaking, the barricading, using furniture to prevent ingress and egress and, you know, you can see quite obviously that this is a public safety concern for the students themselves, for the protesters themselves, for anybody else on campus. the broken windows, more barricades. human beings chained together to try to prevent entry into the buildings. so this

and there we see people on the parapet there of hamilton hall. as they are taking in supplies to keep them going. sandra, no sign they are going to heed any calls from the university to get out of hamilton hall and give it up. >> sandra: and i see they are wearing their masks and glasses and carrying their faces and giving thumbs up to whoever just lifted up the supplies to them. they are not leaving the building. the school has already put out a statement, john. promising expulsion of anyone promised to be in the building he is wearing a columbia sweatshirt. clearly anybody who knows these people can say that is so-and-so. where is the action? on the part of these universities? >> john: you know it seems with columbia university there is not going to be any. they did call the police one day last week, but i don't think they liked the result of that. don't forget you have 800 undergrads there in columbia about 36,000 people a very small group of people who is basically got them by the you know what. we will take a break and see when we get back.

one says free palestine and another says glory to the martyrs and in front of hamilton hall another signays. the students data barricaded themselves in their are making demands of the university including financial transparency and divestment along with amnesty for students that have been suspended or arrested by nypd about two weeks ago. sonali: speak to how we got to this point. the escalation happened over a number of weeks and columbia university has been one of the preeminent locations for middle eastern studies in the u.s., so it's a very complicated picture on campus now. why is it divestitures in particular they are asking for? star pop --scarlet: divestitures are what they are pressing for partly because of 1985 when students occupied hamilton hall and it demanded the university divest from companies that do business in south africa. that lasted about three weeks. while the university did not take immediate action, later that year the trustees did vote to basically sell shares of companies that did business in south africa. so perhaps students are taking inspiration from that. i

they are going to storm hamilton hall, the last time this happens this happened here back in 1968.ietnam war and racial segregation. 56 years later, on the heads of the protesters there are keffiyeh scarves, they are also called arafat, and they are worn by women, although among the arabs they are an item of men’s clothing, but the participants in the performance do not delve into the details, so a banner was hung on hamilton hall with the inscription intifada, because this is not much armed struggle against israel, and what does it have to do with it... now they put biden on the fence. the wall street journal is trying to measure its width. biden is caught between american national interests at a time of global crisis and the demands of a significant part of his political coalition ahead of the election. failure to stabilize the situation in the region could lead to an inflationary surge in gasoline prices, in the long term seriously weakening washington's position in the confrontation with powers seeking to overthrow the american order around the world. at home, us failures in th

no, they as of currently, as of now, there are no police inside the campus or outside of hamilton hall, from what we see from what is it? just students. yeah. for right now, in front of hamilton. it's just students. okay? and then it's just students who are inside as well. have you seen any faculty or staff, from what i see, i do not see faculty and staff right now in front of hamilton hall. just student protesters, okay? and obviously they're chanting and they they broke into the hall has anything become violent that you see? no, nothing has been violent and people have been actually pretty calm and peaceful, just like protesting and they're trying to be as efficient as possible. i would say, but yeah , about how many people are inside. so how many people are inside? i actually have no idea how the number of people inside, but there are people on the balcony and there's about 4 to 5 people on the balcony right now. i would say. okay. yeah, and then there was an alert. the school sent out an alert just a little bit ago. what did that alert say? yes, i would have to. can i, like, put yo

>> and, george, how many students are we talking about in terms of those who broke into hamilton hall and what is their endgame? what are they demanding? >> reporter: so, give or take about 200 or so is our understanding of how many are currently within the building right now. not including the ones set up at the encampment, and the messaging here from the students right now has been that the university divest from israel, any business dealings or ties that would help israel at this point. they also said yesterday during a press conference, i don't believe that the university has been negotiating in good faith. the university very clear in their stance they have no plans to divest from israel, so those negotiations obviously very much at a stand still, and whether or not they come to an agreement ahead of commencement is anyone's guess, ana. >> we got a statement from the white house right now on this issue. and i'm quoting here, president biden has stood against repugnant antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric his entire life. he condemns the use of the term intefadeh and he has --

he is in front of that building, hamilton hall there on campus, the building that is occupied at the moment. benjamin bring us up to date on the situation there, obviously, occupying hamilton. busy is an escalation of the situation that's absolutely right in the big questions that many are asking themselves is when and how a columbia university will react to 2 days. protest is that answered, said, barricaded themselves in the building that you can see here, right behind me there. a group of protests is a lot of media presence. also a police issue. the question will be how they will now respond to you just mentioned it. we're getting reports of a students, it has been suspended. this has been expelled. the only problem here that media does not currently have access to a columbia university is only one instance right now for a students who are living inside of campus and so called essential stuff so that you have people who work in security, you work maintenance stuff. but also all of those essential employees that need to have access, but otherwise all the students and even faculty tha

this after what happened overnight, columbia protesters took over hamilton hall, an academic hall atarricading themselves inside just hours after of the university suspended students who refused to leave. also a happening this morning, police breaking up anti-israel protest it is at unc-chapel hill. and then in texas at ut-austin, law enforcement dismantling a large encampment, arresting at least 43 protesters who ignored ore orders to disperse if. if school administrators promising discipline after students refuse to leave by monday. joining me now is guardian group ceo ray kelly. ray, oring thank you so much for being here. and i know you have studied anti-semitism quite a bit in your career. give us your reaction to all this. >> well, tease are the chickens coming home to roost. these universities, marley columbia, knew about anti-semitism really running rampant on the campus for a long time. i did my study three years ago. is and what was clear were that students for justice in palestine, which is a major organization with 200 college units throughout the country, their only reas

it's quite a bit. correspondent benjamin alvarez. goober is at columbia university in front of hamilton hall. again, that occupied campus building benjamin to this occupation is a new escalation in these protests. what can you tell us about the situation there? so more and more police are arriving the quote in the of the area that you can see here. behind me, there are several groups of fruits. is the guy that over the evening and just on the side of this pro does is the only entrance a to compass where essential stuff. but also the students that live inside of campus can enter and can access the campus. drones, all other members of the university community occurred the bird as well as media. so we have to wait outside to, to see how this is unfolding. but of course, pressure is mounting on the president of columbia university and and while a n y p d, new york police department say that we'll wait until the president or those who are in charge of the university, tell them to actually get their support to send their students out, they have said that they will suspense them, and we've also had

and then hamilton hall is not clear how many individuals are in hamilton hall. it sounds like it might be a fairly small number. i've spoken to students who are inside. so the only fuel i can get in here are essential workers and students who are room and have their dorm rooms on the canvas. i've spoken to students there. they said it's very, very tense in there. they're not seeing any sign of police inside the campus right now. but it is quiet and they are expecting the nypd to move in at some point this evening, aaron. >> all right. miguel stay with us as well. charles ramsey joins the conversation now, former philadelphia police commissioner in dc police chief as well so chief ramsey, you hear shimon and miguel describe what they're seeing right now shimon talking about in all the protests, he's covered and he has covered so many over these recent years. now that he's never seen search teams this big and they're going through plans actual plans of what the layout is inside the courtyard, there being told to put their advisors down to be worried about projecti

days of genocide and over $34000.00 palestinian martyrs, columbia community members took back hamilton hall just after midnight. and autonomous group reclaimed hen hall, previously known as hamilton hall in honor of his raja, gauze and martyr murdered at the hands of the genocidal is real estate at the age of just 6 years old. of this escalation represents the next generation of the 196819851992 student movements which columbia once repressed, yet celebrates today. protesters have boys their intention to remain at hint hall until columbia concedes to quads 3 demands, which are divestment, financial transparency and amnesty. but we have correspondents covering this story at the university of texas as austin and the columbia university in new york. from where we begin with al, just there is to rectify that i said everyone is seems to be focused on hamilton. hol, can just run a through the consequences for the students involved in this. and it doesn't seem like it's put off of the protesters from coming out there today. well, that's correct her right here. outside of columbia university went o

. >> again tonight, the university said the students who broke into that campus building in hamilton hallentially took over will be expelled. but they are not really going anywhere, right? they have more supplies that they are bringing in. we will keep you posted on how things go tonight in new york city. laura. >> laura: gives new meaning to the phrase door dash, alexis. it's like door pully. i don't know what we will call that alexis, thanks as always. all right, the generation that came of age during the extended blue state lockdowns, including in new york and the george floyd riots, is showing us what they have learned. the adults who celebrated the passion of those who spat at the police, tore apart our cities, and ripped down our historical monuments, created what we're watching tonight on college campuses. [chanting free, free palestine] >> guy, my team, come on, link arms. ♪ chanting] [chanting] >> laura: remember when the january 6th smash the window, right? that was a war crime. but they do it here and it's like well, do you want another pizza? pizza? all right. despite this tra

hamilton hall is now occupied by dozens of protestors. day nine on this takeover of the building. behind me this is the building, as close as we're allowed to get. one of the banners unfurled says free palestine. we can't see any of the protestors or occupiers inside that building from this vantage point. to give you a sense of where we're at, move to the left and you can show them, those are all residential dorm buildings. right next door to where all this chaos unfolded. students are waking up this morning begin to study for final exams, which begin on friday. if we take you over here around the hamilton building. a line of students that are now trying to get into the campus. the campus right now is under a limited access only. only students who live on campus and essential personnel are allowed onto campus, a direct response to the takeover of the hamilton building at 12:30 liz night last night. this is as close as we are allowed to go. we haven't heard protestors but this all began at 12:30 in the morning. protestors in the encampment began to storm the building with backpacks

. >>> columbia university started sending students, today, the ones who were occupying hamilton halle expulsion. they smashed windows to break into that campus building overnight and barricaded themselves inside with stacked vending machines, tables and metal police barriers. at one point, at least one of them right here, got into a physical confrontation with a maintenance worker on duty inside. here's a few more. the students are comparing their takeover of hamilton hall to the historic 1968 protest against the vietnam war in that very building. they say they will not leave until all of their demands are met. joining us now from the campus of columbia university is antonia hilton. so expulsion. >> reporter: that's right and that hasn't deterred the students. there are still dozens of them inside hamilton hall and now there are even more students on the street who have joined members of the public in a protest right outside those windows to show support for the students who are still inside protesting. what we've heard from the unit is that they are planning expulsion for the studen

dozens entered hamilton hall. one of the banners says free palestine. another one says intifada.y are occupying the building and have covered security cameras with black trash bags. this is a building that is of course story to because it has a history of student occupation. 1960 eight, students protested against the vietnam war. 1985, students took over to demand that they divest from companies that do business in south africa during apartheid. from that they are taking inspiration in making demands this time around. it's clearly an escalation from the encampments that students set up about two weeks ago on the south lawn in front of hamilton hall, when the president of columbia testified before congress. the school gave the students a deadline of 2 p.m. monday, yesterday, to clear the encampments. some did, but some chose to double down. ed: specifically, what are they demanding? i just don't get it. scarlet: they want financial transparency when it comes to the endowment that columbia has, as well as divestment. divesting from israeli companies and companies that do business w

they are staying at hamilton hall.lumbia doing? it doesn't look like they're doing a darn thing? >> yesterday, we had a 2:00 p.m. deadline, students, to get the encampment totally cleared. pretty much nothing happened. students started gets threatened of being suspended or expulsion. i started paying my tuition out of my paycheck i could not get access to campus because at this point it is as though they have closed the campus and everybody except for the encampers are suspended. i mean why does my student i.d. not work when i'm paying, i'm actually the one who is not breaking the rules? larry: yeah. people are saying, we had interviews before, people are saying this is more important than final exams. no it's not. alex marlow, this has a feel, a late '60s feel. it was 1968, mark rudd let the charge, took over what was it, hamilton hall and so forth. but you're seeing this on so many campuses, alex. you're seeing a the love violence. you're seeing a lot of division. you're not seeing any law and order. i think the poli

pro palestinian demonstrators barricaded hamilton hall, a building well known for being occupied during demonstrations against the vietnam war. in the 1960s were today columbia university said that it will expel students who have occupied the building. the president believes it, fortunately, taken over a building on campus uh is absolutely the wrong approach. that is not an example of peaceful protests. and of course, as we write a note, a page speech and hate symbols also have no place in this country. a small percentage of students shouldn't be able to disrupt. yeah, demick experience this, the legitimate study for the rest of the student body. i'm not aware of any evidence of either a intelligence world or a law enforcement about about a half years. this is not protected free speech. what this is doing is violating the rights of others, jewish students who are merely on campus trying to get an education who are playing by the rules. they kept their impeded from going to class. they're impeded, they're told not to come onto the university campus where they are paying tuition and they

columbia protesters took over hamilton hall, an academic hall at columbia.the building, just hours after the university began suspending students who refused to leave the encampment. this scene is happening as we speak right now. law enforcement dismantling a large encampment at ut austin, arresting at least 43 other protesters, additional protesters yesterday after they ignored orders to disburse, according to the school many of those arrested believe not to be affiliated with the university. this is happening at universities, we're finding many of the people being arrested are actually not students at all. joining me is heritage foundation president, kevin roberts. good to see you. thanks for being here. you teach american history at ut austin. what have you experienced? what can you tell us and give us your reaction to all of this. >> yeah, maria, i'm a proud university of texas alumnus and used to teach there and have a lot of friends there. what i can tell is unlike what happened at columbia, unlike what happened at george washington university in d.c.

of students have broken through and are now occupying that building, by the way, kate hamilton hall named after hamilton. as you well know, has had a long history of students occupying that particular hall, 68, 70 to 85. and in many of these incidents since is what the students demanded, like divesting from south africa during apartheid has worked. they are hoping that this also works, but the tension on campus hi, this morning absolutely. >> we'll be getting back to sarah and everything that's going going on on columbia's campus as well as other campuses all across the country right now, it's still had also for us, donald trump will be back in court this morning and we also have new reporting. donald trump is angry at his lead attorney in this case. a new research suggesting that vaping could put teenagers and others at risk of dangerous lead and heavy metal exposure i see in an exclusive as well, speaking with the leading gang leader, a leading gang leader in haiti, there's a $2 million bounty for him, but he says he has divided in protection as that nation descends further into ch

they are going to storm hamilton hall, the last one.ened here already in 1968, they protested against the vietnam war and racial segregation, the first time the building was taken 8 days before the assassination of martin luther king. 56 years later, on the heads of the protesters there are keffiyeh scarves, they are also called arafat, and they are worn by women, although among the arabs they are an item of men's clothing, but the participants in the performance do not delve into the details, here on... this is anarchy, this is rebellion, this is absolutely unacceptable. a group of overly emotional ill-informed people choosing which laws they will abide by during a social protest is ridiculous. we must intervene and stop. it hasn't gotten any worse yet. this is exactly what trump did in 2020 , only making things worse for himself, but he couldn’t help but do it. now they put biden on the splits. the wall street journal is trying to measure its width. biden is caught between american national interests at a time of global crisis and the

overnight out, a group of protesters breaking windows and barricading themselves inside hamilton hall at the campus. they've pushed tables and chairs against the doors. this action comes after a couple of hours from columbia university, the epicenter of nationwide pro-palestinian campus. protests started suspending students. the ivy league school had set a 2 p.m. deadline monday for the protesters to leave their encampments at the campus. the university has been trying to avoid calling back the police, whose intervention on april 18th led to more than 100 student arrests. the protesters at columbia have inspired similar pro-palestine demonstrations on campuses all across the country. arrests nationwide are now approaching 1000 as the final days of class wrap up and commencement ceremonies are just days or weeks away. the protesters demand the universities cut financial ties with israel over the war in gaza, but many jewish students say the protests have veered into anti-semitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus once again. a group of pro-palestinian protesters taking over a

quite literally. >> bryan: right now you can see this is hamilton hall here.y have unif you should several banners. the one we can see from the street here says free palestine. other banners have said intifada. the demonstrators on x posted a press release earlier this morning and they said they are not leaving that building until three demands are met. the divestment of all moneys into israeli associated companies, transparency about who those companies are and ultimately they want and most importantly probably at this point amnesty. they don't want to face any discipline or punishment for the encampment, nor do they want to face any discipline or punishment for now breaking and entering into hamilton hall behind us for the last 11 hours. the big question now, harris, is when the nypd, if and when they will come in. there is a press conference at 11:30 for a different event. you believe it will be one of the first questions that will be asked here. the nypd has said and they will listen to the university on that as we await to see now the 11th hour here with

overnight if activists broke windows and occupied hamilton hall. the question now is when will the authorities move in to end this occupation and restore order? there are more questions. will the authorities delay action if white principle cysts had run black students off campus? where is president biden? his press secretary stays -- says we're not going to weigh in from here. at this moment columbia university is largely under the control of anti'em mites -- anti-semites. >>> to the market, all a eyes on amazon. they report after the bell this this afternoon. where the market goes from here will have a lot to do with amazon's performance today. premarket it's at 182, up $1. we have a downside move for stocks overall though. minutes ago the employment cost index showed a rise in the cost of labor, and the market turned south on that news. the dow's off about 170, nasdaq down about a 85 at this point. bitcoin, well, it came perilously close to falling below $60,000. it's right now at 61,1. there you have it. interest rates, the 10-year treasury yiel

the group has taken over hamilton hall, which has a history of some data base, including during the vietnam war they on for advantage calling needs haynes hall in memory of a 6 year old ell kids in guys. this came hours after the university started suspending student demonstrators who defied an ultimate and to me very uncomfortable. let's go live to present to me was outside columbia university for us in new york. so the student protests is christian of fabricated themselves inside this hall. after days of protests, what is the scene like inside and outside the campus right here? outside the campus, you can see the barricade setup at the one entrance that people can enter that campus. there's a severe restrictions i've been put in place on anyone getting on to the campus, only students who live on campus and a central person. now the dining halls have been shut down as the university attempts to deal with the takeover of the building. and if you look the next to the barricades that have been set up behind the barricades, that right there is hamilton hall, where i reported me a couple of doz

students who aren't in those buildings who may be nearby or protesting on the steps close to hamilton hallht now of what could physically happen to the campus community. and you know, a lot of people on all sides of the issue, from the jewish students who have felt at times unsafe on campus to pro-palestinian students and faculty, the one thing they seem to agree on is this is the fault of the administration. that at some point the negotiations, the conversations should have reached some kind of solution. we saw brown, for example, today. they closed their encampment because the school agreed to go to a vote, to discuss the possibility of divestment, to at least show the students they were going to consider these measures. then of course, we have seen the other end of the spectrum, an immediate and almost constant police response at schools. the question is how is the administration going to handle this tonight and what is about to happen, joy. >> yeah, absolutely. we have also seen u penn and other schools have handled it very differently. nbc's antonia hylton, thank you. if anything happ

days of genocide and over $34000.00 palestinian martyrs, columbia community members took back hamilton hall just after midnight. and autonomous group reclaimed hen hall previously known as hamilton hall in honor of hinge raja, gauze in martyr murdered at the hands of the genocidal is real estate at the age of just 6 years old. this escalation represents the next generation of the 1968. 19851992 student movements, which columbia once repressed, yet celebrates today as well. we have correspondents covering this story and you see i live in los angeles at the travis county jail in austin and at columbia university in new york where we will begin with sounded areas that i sent by today . so everyone there, as we've mentioned, has been focused on hamilton. hol, can you just run this through the consequences of the students involved and it certainly doesn't seem at this stage at least like, instituted people from coming out and showing their support for them. well, that's correct. outside the city, we're right across the time you can see right here is the building that some group off for the night

now illegally occupying a campus building, anti-israel protesters early this morning took over hamilton hall. they smashed the windows on the front door. they secured a chain around it. they are preventing authorities from entering all of this after columbia yesterday gave protesters an ultimatum, leave the encampment on the west lawn, or face suspension new york police officials estimate there are about 200 to 300 demonstrators at the encampment and in hamilton hall all the nypd does not plan on going into columbia university in less the school administration explicitly requests it. i wanted to bring in my plot tech right now this week my became president elect of the student body of the columbia school of general studies. that's one of columbia's for undergraduate colleges. and has been spoken against columbia students and faculty discriminating against jews. maya, congratulations on your election for those of people who don't know the school of general studies was created for returning and non-traditional students it makes up about a quarter of the undergraduate student body you one, at a
