the protesters have intensified their protests now. let's discuss political issues analyst and expert, mr. stegenberg, the most important developments in the last 24 hours in the east of america was the new york police attack on the columbia university library, which was accompanied by the beating of students by the armed police forces and the arrest of more than 300 of them. in the west of america, in los angeles, the american police witnessed an attack by unknown forces. he objected to the students when i said that your analysis about the increase in level was done while the police were present what is the violence used against students? it is very sad that the level of violence that the american empire is dealing with students . they are acting like this against their own students, and in fact, the level of violence they use depends on their ability to abuse the media , that is, as much as they can control the media and abuse it. they will use more violence if they manage to close some of these protest camps. universities may be abl

and that's what we call the protest paradigm, a way of covering social protest.he pitfalls that news organisations can fall into, in your view? so, one of the pitfalls is really getting caught up in looking for dramatic stories, dramatic images, looking for, say, conflicts between protesters and police or between protesters on one side of the issue and protesters on the other. as rich talked about before, it looks like a war scene, and it makes great video images. but one of the real problems is that the issues, the underlying issues of the protest, sort of get lost in the process. are you saying that the media isn't interested in peaceful protest, i'm wondering? well, i would say calm, rational protest that stands up to have expressed an opinion to try to influence public and policy on a given issue is unlikely to get a lot of media attention unless they can create a certain amount of drama that fits what journalists are often looking for. uh, and so you often see clashes with the police. you often see incidents of property damage, even though in many of these p

the idea that american 1960's protests that were protesting violence and protesting the brutality of war was not critical of a mirror, and not finding common cause with the people on the other is a misremembering of what actually took place. host: angus johnston is with us from the university of new york. go ahead and start calling in with questions and comments. same lines as before, democrats (202) 748-8000, republicans (202) 748-8001, independents (202) 748-8002, students, administrators faculty at colleges and universities (202) 748-8003. as folks are calling in, saturday is the 54th anniversary of the kent state massacre. we had a caller who was a freshman on monday on this program to talk about his experiences and how these images have brought back the experience that day. how did kent state become such an historic tragedy? guest: kent state is only one of four campu the late 1960's where police officers or other law enforcement officials deputize in one way or another, killed protesters or passersby. there were people killed at berkeley in 1960 nine, south carolina state colle

protesters.ive say, to disperse protesters. just cive us say, to disperse protesters. just give us the _ say, to disperse protesters. just give us the bigger picture. this is clearly a controversial law, but a law which its opponents fear will push georgia into a kind of russian orbit and away from the west, away from the european union and many of those protesters want to join the eu but fear that this law will in the end stop georgia from becoming part of the european union?— of the european union? that's right. the reason — of the european union? that's right. the reason why _ of the european union? that's right. the reason why it _ of the european union? that's right. the reason why it has _ of the european union? that's right. the reason why it has become - of the european union? that's right. the reason why it has become such. of the european union? that's right. | the reason why it has become such a contentious issue here in georgia, because most of the protesters and see it as a major tur

throughout the day we have seen protesters p°ppin9 the day we have seen protesters p°pping up the day popping up over the barricades. they had been threatened with arrest but they have put up a peace sign or made a love heart. they are shouting out, peaceful protest, resist at any cost, what side of history are you on? harking back to the protests that gripped the late 1960s. there were moments of prayer inside we believe, people sitting on the floor. and another part of the campus, people were singing bob dylan, and blowing in the wind. but of course, now, we have seen as people try to resist arrest, things become more complicated and that is when you see more of that commotion. when you make the comparison between those anti—war protests in the 19705, those anti—war protests in the 1970s, they are different in the scale of those was far greater. hundreds of people come in some cases, a few thousand. in the 1970s it was many, many tens of thousands out on the streets and unified in their anti—war approach. these protests are a lot smaller and more divisive. yes. in terms of scale, cl

there are people at the protest with terrible views. there are people who thought 9/11 was an inside job. i would argue with them my selves -- myself at protests. did that have anything to do with whether the war was moral and prudent? no, the war was demonstrably neither. on that, the protesters were right, which brings us back to columbia university, where 56 years ago almost to the day protesters took over the same building that was occupied earlier this week. they, too, were removed and arrested and many were bloodied and beaten for protesting, among other things, the university's involvement in the vietnam war. they believed the war was a moral catastrophe and the u.s. should stop waging it. they were right. the fact there was genuine extremists among those protesters had no bearing on whether they were right or wrong about that. what i find particularly maddening about the focus on the protesters of the conflict is that it is an evasion. it avoids the difficult task of being universally empathetic to our fellow human beings and re

the protest.u can imagine the kind of people that would give up their wednesday afternoon to go down there and shout at some students or shout at people who are shouting at students, i don't think it was very representative of what was going on inside the encampment. so there was this impression that these people causing trouble outside were connected to the protests in some way, and that wasn't the case. and when it comes to the people you met inside, is it right, you know, that they've been studying the media tactics of the vietnam war protesters of the �*60s? and were you surprised by that? that's right. i actually went down with the intention of talking to them about the '68 protests, because it's something i'd noticed. i'd studied the '68 protests at university, and i wanted to ask them, you know, "do you know there are echoes from '68 here in "what you're doing?" and everyone i spoke to said, "yes, we know. "it's deliberate. "we actually went into the columbia archives "and we studied what t

these protests have become very violent . although the text of this plan does not mention the name of israel or anti-israeli groups. specifically , it targets activities that have been going on in the past few weeks on american university campuses. a large number of students participated in this demonstration and protested the ongoing attacks in the gaza strip . according to this plan, people who are convicted. they will be forced to serve at least 6 months of public service in the gaza strip. probably, this plan will face opposition in the house of representatives. the republicans have a small majority in the house of representatives. even if the plan passes in the house of representatives, it will likely be ignored in the democratic-controlled senate. but this plan shows how the war on the gaza strip. it affects the policy environment in america. almost all republicans, as well as a significant number of democrats , condemned the ongoing protests on american campuses. however , people with progressive attitudes continued to

from protesters. we've seen arrested and police have started to move in to begin dismantling the protest encampment. that's been on that campus for a week now. and this is one of so many campuses seeing similar protests and gulf campus life shutting down operations in some cases this is bringing new pressure also on the white house. and i'm president biden, to respond to all of this. soon as arlette sciences at the white house, let's bring her in on this or what is the white house saying about these protests now and these developments? >> okay, president biden has stayed relatively quiet relating to these protests unfolding across the college campuses, across the country when it comes to these law enforcement actions to try to disrupt in quell some of these protests. the white house really has refrained from commenting on the specifics they've yet to weigh in on these developments at ucla overnight and what they have said is that ultimately these are decisions that are up to law enforcement, up to the

he came openly to the student protests and in a way condemned the students whose protests are somehow damaging public property . now we are witnessing whether there will be a change in the strategy of your region . mr. bayeddin said no and he left, which means that the young american is taking this interview. i saw it after this interview. what were the reactions of mr. biden on american social networks , especially from the range of these young people , who are called progressive and progressive in america , to have serious criticism, and it is clear that young americans are watching this interview, they are reading mrs. blackburn's tweets. let's deport these students from america. they see that for years they have iran, russia , china and condemn the freedom of expression in these countries with the slogan that they now call freedom of speech. no, it is being suppressed later right now, they are openly saying to deal with it . mr. rubio had tweeted that the police should go and deal with it very hard . he sees the american celebrity and i think this understanding has been fully form

are these protests? do you think a preview of what we're going to see this summer at the political conventions? you will have to see i'm there in fairness, there is a difference. you know, i mean, so 1968 we, we didn't have a draft, we didn't have students that are being sent off to die in a foreign war. but the similarity is that living at the left we talked about, or even just scarborough is panicking over that as he was talking about it on his show was parents were lifelong democrats. but then when they saw the 6, the a campus protest and a violent take over the campuses by radical left us. they just, they associated the democratic party with a breakdown of law and order. and they went with nixon and they've voted republican ever, ever since. and again that's if you think it through, nixon did just went a landslide in order and promising to restore law and order again just when it lands line. 68. and then the biggest landslide in american history and 72 years. the quick rep, pre visit, were with carte

police clash with protesters. the deal has been made with protesters if they pack up.ng body holding a vote. let's go right to our correspondent who is just outside the campus at columbia university where we have been watching some of those that live pictures. you are in the thick of things. what is happening where you are? i what is happening where you are? ., ., , what is happening where you are? . ., , . , what is happening where you are? ., .,, ., are? i am outside city college in new york. _ are? i am outside city college in new york, around - are? i am outside city college in new york, around 30 - are? i am outside city college i in new york, around 30 minutes away from columbia. i also want to warn that it is a very hectic situation and people are very tense and you might hear some swear words and ijust want to apologise for that beforehand. this is around 30 minutes away from columbia university. it feels like the nypd is targeting all the protesters. this opened upjust a few days ago. so... we apologise for that. i do not know if you can see how, we have a lin

peaceful protest in america. violent protest is not protected. peaceful protest is.ainst the law when violence occurs. destroying property is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. none of this is a peaceful protest. threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. dissent is essential to democracy. but dissent must never lead to disorder or to denying the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. emma vardy was at ucla when the police went in and sent this report. after midnight, the first signs police had begun to execute their operation. chanting: we are not leaving! despite building a makeshift fortress around them, the protesters' barricades were overpowered. we are seeing police now going into one side of the encampment, and it looks like they are starting to tear tents down. it became clear the encampment was unlikely to last the n

the counter protesters used tear gas and a large objects against antiwar protesters as they try to teardes around the encampment. >> beating us with bats and sticks and through whatever they could. >> i am annoyed for not seeing it coming but i did not think it would ever get to this level. caitrÍona: the counter protesters are believed to have come from outside of the campus and pro-palestinian student demonstrators said police are slow to respond and ucla canceled classes due to the violence in another disruption to student life and the school has already scaled back its graduation ceremy and some students are scheduled to have exams and some want things to be normal again. >> things are not going well and people are like angry at each other. a lot of tensions going on. i hope that these can get resolved and maybe we can negotiate. who knows what will happen? i hope these get resolved real quick. caitrÍona: let us hear from our correspondent who has the latest from ucla. >> it has been a political minefield for universities over the last few weeks, trying to strike the right balance b

protesters have locked arms. the white helmets are protesters. they have been arresting them, taking them away one by one by one. some have made it difficult. others have not. thank you. they are trying to move us. go ahead. >> lawrence: we know this is a fluid situation, when you cover protests. i want to document it for us, sometimes police move the line back and you adjust. when you get to a secure place, let us know. back to the desk, two plus hours of cops trying to make their way in and no statement from the president of the united states. insurance policy for the party, gavin newsom, no statement. karen bass, mayor, we have not heard a statement from her, as well. you would think when chaos and violence against cops and jewish community, we would hear something. >> brian: this is an opportunity, if you are a leader like governor of maryland who stepped up when the bridge was wrecked. i don't care democrat or republican, talking to everybody, this is an opportunity. if you are a leader and you want that job, you do it for moments like this.

and they removed a protest encampment.f 300 people were detained at columbia and the city college elsewhere in the city. the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives mike johnson said the authorities needed to be called in. >> what are university officials waiting on? what do they need to see before they stand up to these terrorist sympathizers? and that is exactly what they are. what is worse though is that columbia's choice to ignore the safety of their jewish students and appease anti-semites has inspired even more hateful protests to pop up across the country. what we are seeing right now is people wave hezbollah flags and hamas flags. there are homemade signs supporting what happened on october 7. it is outrageous. christian: the president of columbia university has been under immense political pressure in recent days and has appealed for aperiod of, -- a period of calm. in a statement they said, we made the decision early in the morning this was a law enforcement matter. the nypd were best positioned to determine

biden: violent protest is not protected. peaceful protest is.gainst the law when olence occurs. destroying property is not peaceful protest. >> i am at the ucla campus, where we saw police move in before dawn and detained over 100 protesters. >> gaza civilians continued to face starvation and dysplasia in. we will speak to an aid worker about humanitarian needs and access on the ground. >> hello, welcome to world news america. i am caitriona perry. another violent confrontation on a u.s. college campus as police cleared a campus of the university of california in los angeles, declaring protest and unlawful assembly. police brought down barricades, staying in tents to move or bee arrested. officers used flashbangs, otherwise known as stun grenades, after some resisted. police reported no serious injuries among officers or protesters. officers arrested more than 100 people. the crackdown on antiwar protesters by the lapd unfolded just one day after those same demonstrators were attacked by pro-israel outside agitators. here is one student proteste

protesters clashing with counter-protesters as police and highway patrol officers get called in to calm the chaos. we're live in los angeles. >> then dozens of google employees, including some here in the bay area, are demanding their jobs back. why? they say they should not have been fired for protests against the company . >> and who needs bumble or hinge or any of the other dating apps? the couple who found love on grubhub. >> all right. take a swig. good morning. i mean, yeah, good morning. on this wednesday, may first. >> what do you think, drew? grubhub >> sure. >> they became grubhub for life. let's go outside. it's going to be a lovely day today. less wind along the coast, a warmer afternoon. here's a live look at the exploratorium camera. we are totally clear out there. every reporting site is saying clear skies, so we have a lot of sunshine on the way. temperatures right now it's our typical chill first thing in the morning. we're starting out in the upper 40s to the lower 50s. good morning, saint helena 48. we're at 42, in danville, 47. that current temperature in palo alto.

that was counter protesting. that encampment there the pro-palestinian can i do have a question for you? food because in talking to that student, he said, look, we have not yet heard from police that we must disperse. have you heard anything this morning from the police as two what they're going to do further as you heard any of those announcements that the encampment is has been deemed illegal by the university and that the police are going to move in yeah no we have not heard that. i mean, we saw the police pushing people out. there are definitely in there riot gear, law enforcement officers were, but there have been no one continents we heard some more chanting startup again from the encampment but that's it. we haven't actually heard any loudspeaker announcement since from law enforcement out here they definitely made their presence known, but at the same time, they seem to just use their physical presence to push people people out. we didn't actually see them going after anyone from where we're standing here

let's get to the latest idea of what's happening within the company is about 400 protests in protest is and then coming to use the la just the other side of the building. we're looking at right. the we can speak to freelance yet it's been camacho who's within the u. c. l, a campus and then what's the latest that you're seeing and hearing? yeah, so right now there is the, there issue another dispersal order. uh, this is probably the 61 that i for today or the tonight um, but protesters have largely just kind of gone back to sending to the camp and really just occupying the space here in front of royce hall. uh, there is a small group of protesters that did uh reinforce some barricades uh for the main doors of really tall. uh, but other than that, uh, people are just, you know, occupying the space just as earlier, just as before, the come showed up. so it sounds like the protests is a residence. they have no intention of moving despised police orders. that's correct. that's actually the 1st thing they said when they pushed back that way, pd, they told them that they are not leaving. te

the right to protest, the right to protest.ollows the governments and accuses them of all kinds of violations. we see that now it is a campaign. the abomination created against this demonstration of why europeans follow america is, in my opinion, that it is actually a political tradition. because europeans usually do this, in the western world, whenever america does anything, america plays a leading role it has been the leader after the second world war for the europeans and also during the cold war, and in fact , following the partnership that the europeans have with the united states , we see that there is actually a collective dominance in the western political world, which is from the united states. and the rest of my policy and this reason is actually a very interesting point in history because one of the justifications for partnering with america was that america can establish a liberal order in the world, but now we see that the europeans under american pressure is going to support that genocide. and this is a contradict

there's the right to protest, but not the right to cause this as police raid a protest counts. i you see a way and makes more than a 100 arrests. also on the show today, usually i know vanya wednesday definitely use freedom of speech award. cheers. look on the face of russia's opposition following the death of her husband alexei divani . earlier this year the i'm glad richardson, thank you very much for joining us. president biden has said he won't be sending in the national guard to deal with a wave of student led protests against israel's war against him off fight. and it said, demonstrators have the right to peacefully protest, but not to cause chaos and cruise have been cleaning up the university of california at los angeles hours after police removed barricades and began dismantling a pro palestinian camp in the early hours of thursday. officers arrested dozens of demonstrators in the pre dawn raid. after protesters defied orders to leave. more than 2000 people has been arrested on university and college campuses across the u . s. and the last 2 weeks before the sun had ev

as they protest. they have been moving around. we were just about two blocks away and then for whatever reason, they decided to come this way. let me show you the entrance. this is one of the entrances into the college now, so founded by the nypd, almost every entrance and exit of this college now, the nypd is outside preventing students from coming inside. they are allowing people to leave. as you see, some people leaving here. >> but the protesters have been moving around and so the nypd has been following them. >> some have gone to other entrances and right now, everything is sort of at a standoff to see what happens next. the nypd also has brought in a bus here for potential arrest and where they can process people. but well, if this is the equipment here, let me show you. this is what we're waiting for. you see this officer here with this backpack that is where the speaker is when they eventually make the announcement for people to disperse. and if people don't disperse, a then move in to make ar

such protests.a new generation of americans is beginning to feel the consequences of this foreign war. that the protesters are demanding that their educational institutions end any financial ties to companies that they are believed to be related to israel's war in the gas sector, from buying shares to sponsoring events, the demands vary, but this is how they can be summarized, stopped. and these protests are compared to student demonstrations against the war in vietnam, but what impact can they have on american politics and on the election campaign, because the elections in the united states are six months away. iron david miller has been an adviser to the united states secretaries of state on arab-israeli negotiations for over 15 years, and here are his assessments and predictions. on mine opinion, the problem is multifaceted, i'm sure there is real dissatisfaction. anger at the casualties that have been caused by the war in gaza, caused by israel's fight against hamas. i think some of these studen

many, many plans to develop the areas of protests so that people can come and peacefully protest. however, they don't peacefully protest. there are plenty of plans in place to make sure that that does not get out of hand as we've seen and in other places. so this may be the bell ringing for uh for that issue. and if it is, everybody will be ready for that. uh and to uh, to an act, a safe and secure, not only venue, not only for the protect these of the secret service, but under the necessity. everybody that's involved in that convention. robert off will stick with you on this one because since you're there on a college campus, a very familiar with it. what effect you think this is going to have quoted on the president's college debt forgiveness? i mean, i've heard of lot of sarcasm and means coming out because of it, is this really gonna affect that popularity? i think we're going to have to find out number one, really, how that's going to be paid for who's going to pay for that? what's the mechanism that's going to be in place who's going to be eligible? who's not going to be eli

i remember what protests used to look like that were not funded by soros, but real protests, people drew basements and garages. now they all have the same printed banners that were simply handed to them, this is all a complete deception, and biden must speak out about this , he must say at least something, because no one knows where he is at all. there is an important electoral dimension here, well, in particular, the state of michigan, one of the traditional swing states, the so-called key states for the presidential race, many immigrants from arab countries live there, in the last... months, these voters began to turn away from biden, in many ways they brought him victory there, 4 years ago, he was ahead of trump, because muslims, the arab communities there voted for biden, and now they are turning away from him, that’s more than 3,000 people for a second, if biden will lose these votes, and they are already very harsh towards him, then he will lose. the loss of every swing state is a likely hole in the very structure of a potential election victory, and this will simply block he is on

peaceful protest in america. violent protest is not protected. peaceful protest is.s against the law of violence occurs. destroying property is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. none of this is a peaceful protest. threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. dissent is essential to democracy. but dissent must never lead to disorder or to denying the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. that was joe biden that wasjoe biden speaking from the white house and the last hour we talked to our correspondent in a moment or two but let's speak first two are guests. we can now speak to dolores quintana, a reporter at the santa monica mirror who has been covering the ucla protests. welcome and give me an ideal welcome and give me an idea i know you were there overnight, what was it like? , , . ., it like? hi, yes, i have to say last niu

police encounter protesters out. that is what you are looking at, wooden pallets and plywood that they have put together with zip ties and screws, that they've drilled together because they are expecting some sort of siege tonight, whether it's from counter protesters or from law enforcement. a dispersal order was given earlier, multiple dispersal orders actually and the crowd inside than encampment has been chanting "we are not leaving." walk with us and we will show you just what's going on. we have more lapd set up skirmish lines as they are essentially surrounded by these pro- palestine protesters who have been chanting things like "lapd is kkk" and multiple law enforcement sources are telling us there's a plan to try to clear out the camp at some point tonight. we don't know when that is going to happen exactly but you can see, step here real quick, there's a large law enforcement presence arriving on the other side of where we are right now, the sheriff's department is showing up in the sheriff's department --

, he is peacefully protesting, he is peacefully protesting. it was a couple of weeks ago that the american student protests started in america from columbia university, but now most of the european countries universities are the scene of student protests against the generation. israel is in gaza to get first-hand information about such gatherings, we are going to amsterdam to talk with toon migging, a student activist from the university of amsterdam. thank you for inviting me as the first question. let's do it and after seeing the knowledge of the protests in the universities of columbia, california and other american universities, we actually. university and because in universities this was free until then and we could do this, students. having them stay at night also means that their tents will be up until the morning and they will continue their protest until now. israel's war in gaza and we saw that the university of amsterdam actually cooperated with those institutions supporting israel. and he did not allow that demonstration to be done

protesters, anti—benjamin neta nyahu protesters, they anti—benjamin netanyahu protesters, they want leading this war coalition government, so many people out on the streets in tel aviv as well tonight, as there have been on saturdays throughout the last many months. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. well, the show�*s not over yet. we have both a music spectacle on and, of course, a light display in the heavens. and once again, saturday night, a pretty good chance of catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis, or the northern lights. the viewing conditions will be good, if not excellent, across much of the uk with the clear skies and try about 11pm onwards. get your eyes used to that dark sky, away from any bright city lights if you can. now, here's the probability of the aurora occurring. this is just an approximation. so, the red colour is pretty much 90% to 100%, and then that chance drops off somewhat as you head southwards across the uk. but it really could happen almost anywhere, and there's some uncertainty even with that. now, the weekend weather forecast, some uncertainty

a friend that you were talking about, the demands of the protests, as well as the mountains from protest this very at ease university, the mid majority demonstration of cold, as you said, for the divestment, some companies that support israel and the will. and then what you do, if you say a little sizes, tell you that whatever happened i mean it can happen. will it ever happen is i think it's, i don't know. i mean, i could have hope, i want to say yes that it can happen. but i don't, i mean i, i don't know how, how far you know, how imbedded you feel that they use the system or other colleges are with, you know, companies like boeing or black rock radio. and i mean, it sounds like there's considerable investment into these companies that could be wrong, but for students to demand their, to, it should not go to these companies. i think it is, there is a reasonable step one to die for divestment, but then it's important that you have a you, that we do appreciate it to tell us what's going on within the cabinets at u. c. l . a. if you hang on the for us, if you would. so it is just gone ove

organic protest at columbia.0 arrests. it has dragged in politicians, dividing the democrats — but re—uniting the republicans in their condemnation of both protestors and universities alike. the department needs to yank the visas of foreign students l in these little gazas, _ and dhs needs to deport them. the justice department shouldl investigate the funding sources behind these little gazas - and the department for education needs to withhold funding - for colleges that won't protect the civil rights of- theirjewish students. | instead, joe biden is putting more pressure on israel these days then he is on hamas itself- or on the pro—hamas chapters on america's campuses. some universities have delayed calling in law enforcements. but now, the riot police are on the ivy league campuses and are breaking up the encampments. the new york mayor eric adams says he is done waiting. there is a movement to radicalise young people. and i'm not going to wait until it's done, and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of

, the palace, the palestinian protesters are protesters for the palestinian cause we're left relatively vulnerable for others to come in and attack them. it's that kind of vulnerability that law enforcement and colleges and universities have to get serious about now as well as these temperatures are increasing between the two sides. and i can't honestly i can't believe how exposed they appear just from the pictures and then it's taken this long to get the lapd in or to get a request in. this is this is this was avoidable. had there been just a security perimeter around these protesters? >> yeah. when you say you can't believe how exposed this or can you just expand on that? i mean, what do you mean by that? >> let's look at the protest is just a natural part of colleges and universities. and as i, as i've been making clear for the most part, throughout the united states these protests have been going on. peaceably peacefully without a lot of conflict, with a lot, a lot, without a lot of the drama that said we saw at columbia. now we're seeing at ucla and part of that was because it was

the peaceful protest in america. while a protest is not protected, peaceful protest is against the law and violence recurs what began as peaceful, quickly, it turned into violent and destructive demonstrations on college campuses across the united states sky. now here's it. on this edition of 360 view, we're going to look at the motivation behind the reset post test and the unexpected effect they are having on the bottom ministrations, gaza policy as well as the 2024 presidential election. let's get started. it's the for weeks protestors defended upon campus, setting up camps and disrupting classes. many governors came out and immediately reputed the practice sending in police to break them up and move them out. we do not allow the inmates to run the asylum in the state of florida. and if you can abide by the rules that we have in place for conduct, then we will show you the door and you will be expelled. it is that simple. we're not going to having tamp minutes and attempts to pull it up. and yes, we will protect th

and peacefully protest.ght—wing politicians's view on this. i think what many of them are frustrated by his they feel that the president sort of caved into that — she was in front of congress a couple of weeks ago and she was questioned by republicans over what she's doing to crack down on anti—semitism. but look, students say these protests won't end, and it's worth mentioning this was going on before october 7th, there's a long history of people here who have been protesting against the israeli government and israeli policies. but for now, the protests have updated, it is to be seen whether they pop up again. it is to be seen whether they pop up aaain. , , it is to be seen whether they pop up aiainh , it is to be seen whether they pop up auain., , ., again. just looking at these -ictures again. just looking at these pictures of _ again. just looking at these pictures of ucla _ again. just looking at these pictures of ucla - - again. just looking at these pictures of ucla - these i again. just looking at th
