Multiple occasions where fireworks were thrown inside the camp. We dont have any handle yet on the number of injuries or the number of arrests or the seriousness or nature of any damage but you can see clearly at large groups of people involved in those protests. We will be keeping across those images, as well as what has been happening in Columbia University through the night, which is in new york. Lots and lots of arrests as the police went into one of the University Buildings after the university called the police in because they said it was an escalation to far to be occupying a building. Arrests have been made. The demands of the pro Palestinian Groups of students in universities right across the us is, of course, their primary focus is, of course, their primary focus is what is happening in gaza but also demanding their own universities take actions on things like untangling any financial or academic links they have with israel. Also want an amnesty in many cases for anyone involved in the protests itself. Wanting amnesty. We will be back in la, we had just lost those live feed pictures but i am sure they will be back in a minute as we head back towards la as soon as we get those live feeds. The 1st of may marks a significant moment for the uk governments legacy act with an end to historical inquests and the transferring of troubles era cases to a new body. The Northern Ireland troubles legacy and reconciliation act was passed by parliament in september despite opposition from labour, all Northern Ireland parties and the irish government, as well as several victims� families. The act creates a new legacy body to take over all troubles era cases from wednesday. That shuts down all historical inquests from the same day, and it has already prevented new civil cases from being lodged in court. For more on that, we are joined now by our correspondent in belfast, jennifer oleary. Jennifer, just talk us through the implications. Jennifer, just talk us through the implications jennifer, just talk us through the imlications. ~. , , implications. Well, today is seen by man as implications.

Well, today is seen by many as day zero in an attempt to l many as day zero in an attempt to deal with Northern Ireland was not troubled past. My new legacy body comes into force today. Northern irelands troubles. It takes over all troubles cases including those on the desk of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. That means that, from today, the police will stop investigations of murders, all crimes relating to trouble era offences before 1988. The new law also shuts down new civil cases in relation to troubles era cases and it brings an end to inquests. Inquests, of course, are how many families find out the details of their loved ones� deaths. New inquests will be halted. And inquests will be halted. And inquests which are no longer reached theirfindings Stage Inquests which are no longer reached their findings stage will be shut down. The most controversial element of this new law that gives immunity, conditional amenity, to suspects has been dis applied. It won� t be used just yet. The government is appealing a legal ruling that disapplied that controversial new element. What i should say is that Northern Ireland, as many viewers will appreciate, Northern Ireland, as many viewers willappreciate, is Northern Ireland, as many viewers will appreciate, is a place that is defined by division. This new law has united all of the parties at stormont. And several victims� groups as well as the irish government, who are opposed to this new law, which comes into force today. Now, the labour party has previously signalled and, certainly, has done so again today, that, should it be, the new government, following an election later this year, that it will reform the legacy act. But widespread opposition from many victims� groups to this new law and the legacy body. Of course, there are those who say that the new legacy body will give information to families who have been seeking answers for many decades. A lot of controversy still, as a result of the new law, which comes into force today. We are expecting victims� groups to protest outside the n10 office later today. Office later today. Thank you so much for that. India� s General Election is in full swing. One of the challenges facing the contenders is attracting the female vote in a country where many women don� t feel safe. Latest data shows 51 crimes against women reported every hour. And women are also under represented in parliament with just 15 of members female. Our correspondent, samira hussain, is in kerala in southern india. Hi, there. We have been crisscrossing the country, trying to bring you stories from very important voter groups in the country but ones that we don� t often hear from. Country but ones that we don� t often hearfrom. Clearly, iam country but ones that we don� t often hearfrom. Clearly, i am at a Fishing Village in the Southern State of carolina and that a story will Come A Little Bit later on today for some Southern State of kerala. I want to talk about women and as you rightly point out, they only represent 15 of mps in parliament so i went running with a few women to find out what they want from their political leaders. I am speaking to voters and we� re going to be speaking to different voting blocs throughout the day today. Clearly, i� m at a Fishing Village in the Southern State of kerala, but i want to talk about women and the fact that they� re not very much represented in parliament. So i went for a run, as i usually do, in the Northern State of bihar, and i caught up with some women to ask them what they want from their political leaders. I� ve come for a run at a parkjust across the street from my hotel. So, obviously, iwent for a run to try and get that story. You can see that i� m by a Fishing Village right now. I� m not going to be going fishing to go and get a story from here. But i will be speaking with fishermen because remember that, you know, the low wage economy is part of the backbone of the indian economy. But what is really interesting, speaking to those women in bihar earlier this week was just how sophisticated what they were saying but what is really interesting, speaking to those women in bihar earlier this week was just how sophisticated what they were saying and how important it was for them for some kind of representation. And the fact that they want to see more safety and more chances, or more upward mobility, for women in their community. The Childhood Friend of a cornish aid worker killed in an israeli drone strike in gaza hopes to honour him by raising money for the boxing club he loved. James henderson was among the seven aid workers who died when their convoy was hit last month. His close friend, harryjames mills, now wants to renovate their Old Boxing Club and name it afterjimmy. He� s been talking to our reporter, melanie chiswell. My memories ofjimmy from that age were being in penryn park, making rope swings, tree houses. It� s kind of the typical cliche, you know, what it� s like to live a lovely life as young boys, you know . Jim henderson died while he was helping others. He was delivering food to people in gaza when his convoy was struck by three missiles. Losingjimmy in Ourfriendship Group has actually binded our group together so much more strongly. We will forever be as strong as we are now because ofjimmy leaving us. And i do think about that a lot. Ithanked him, you know, for the fact that him going has actually made us so much stronger. Jimmy died alongside his colleagues, john chapman and james kirby. Their deaths provoked World Leaders to demand an investigation. The truth is that when he died, it was. We couldn� t even see a way forwards. There was a lot of anger, a huge amount of sadness and loss. And we sort of went through the process of wanting answers. And that took us down a very dark path. And we felt like we� re not going to be able to change what happened tojimmy. And so what we can actually do is look to our local community and look to what we can change positively. Go on, jimmy. Seen here in black, jim was a talented boxer. His club was a huge part of his life, but it needs a new building and new Equipment Forfuture generations. The nature of how he passed away was obviously very traumatic for all of us, and this is something that we can actually apply our energy to that makes us feel good, gives us like a sense of purpose. That� s the reason why we� re doing it. We want to do something that we feel is going to have a positive change as opposed to just continue to feel angry and upset. Across the atlantic in washington, a memorial at the National Cathedral is honouring all seven world central kitchen aid workers. The seven souls we mourn today were there so that hungry people could eat. What did he mean to everyone that he was close to . I guess he wasjust. Justjimmy. He was really, really soft, he was really, really loving. And at the same time, he was an amazing athlete and he was super masculine. And he had that beautiful balance where, yeah, he was just a great, great man. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. This is bbc news. I want to take you back to los angeles and take a look at the latest pictures we have of the incident that is still ongoing. These are pro palestinian demonstrators clashing with pro israeli demonstrators on University Campus in ucla in los angeles. These pictures are from the last hour or so. We don� t have our live feed up right now but these are some of the pictures that we have been witnessing over the last couple of hours. Basically, the demonstrations have been ongoing for quite a while. A couple of weeks. You can see all the tent free of pro palestinian demonstrators, students. They are angry about what is happening in gaza all of the tents. They are making their voices heard. It spilled over into violence and it intensified at about 11pm. Local time. And it intensified at about 11pm. Localtime. Live and it intensified at about 11pm. Local time. Live pictures a couple of hours after that. The police were called in. There is a Significant Police presence. These are some of the most recent pictures we have. We are waiting for the live picture feeds to be re established. There are growing fears about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the music industry. A uk Parliamentary Committee is calling on the government to stop ai firms damaging the business, citing examples of musicians not being credited for their work and the deepfaking of artists, such as dua lipa and taylor swift. Let� s speak to vincent moss, Communications Director at uk music, an organisation that seeks to represent the uk� s commercial music industry. Thanks very much for coming on the programme. Hello.

The problem is that it is a connection with the artist, whoever you love, whether you are a taylor swift, due leeper or ed sheeran fan. It is about a connection with the artist dua lipa. If it is created by a robot, it is very different. You want to know what you are buying, consuming, seeing. Music needs to be clearly labelled where ai is involved so music lovers know that. And what we need is legislation and rules so people effectively don� t eat people� s lunch by claiming something as their own or something is a new dua lipa song or something is a new dua lipa song or sounds like dua lipa but it is not, that is not fair on the creators, the artists and the consumer.

It is a global problem, legislators and that it might need to come together notjust in the field of music. You can see bbc presenters are often used falsely and without their consent to endorse products, insect repellent, things like that.

They need to earn a decent living, it is not a well waged industry, creative industry, but to do that they need their works protected and images protected. You see there are deep fakes of lots of famous people, including artists and music creators and we need some potential protection on Personality Rights and thatis protection on Personality Rights and that is something to be looked at in america. Something we should look at here. And so the images cannot be used falsely without their consent an
