Of this building just behind see that is Hamilton Hall protesters broke in and are now occupying that building. They have the same demands that they have had since the beginning. University and students tried to come to some agreement yesterday, but they were told students by the university that they must leave by 2 00 p. M. Or face consequences, which includes so things like suspension if they were still on campus after 2 00 p. M. Monday . Well, the Student Protesters decided to stay and so now the university has to side what they are going to do with a Huge Police Presence thats outside of Columbia University but not yet inside of Columbia University, you are seeing now two pronged protest. One inside of Hamilton Hall and the occupation there, one outside, where you have all of the tense still set up should many so there are some very visible signs of this protests, and i will let you see to my right there are photographer will show you what you are seeing there out of the window from Hamilton Hall. It says free palestine in english and in arabic. And then on the other side, on the back of hamilton haul, that shows into so the campus, there is another sign that is getting a lot of attention. Another banner, and that banner reads into fatah that banner upsetting things. Some of the residents who live around here, we just heard from one of the neighbors of Columbia University a jewish woman. Her name is Shira Sticker she said, seeing that makes her think of a bloody revolution, intifada, meaning in arabic the shaking off or uprising, but for her admin, something very different. She was very, very concerned about where this is headed. As for the students who were taking part in this they have several demands. They are one asking the university to divest among other things, from israel at any moneys going in their investments, israel, they want that stopped and they also want a ceasefire. I was able earlier to speak with a student who is jewish, who was part of the propalestinian protest, who has been on campus for a very long time. He came out to speak to us. And heres what he says. His name is jared and he wanted to make clear that they were able to have their passover is the last day of passover. They were able to have their seder inside of the propalestinian encampment. What were saying is that theres a genocide going on in gaza being funded by our government that our university is profiting office. And i think that if they can use some tactics to portray us all as some sort of hateful mob. Then they can go on with ignoring our message all right now i want to go to our polo sandoval. He is standing with students this morning again, the university has changed Course Students who are on campus and live on campus. And the faculty are the only ones that can get in at this point. What are you seeing there . Is there Confusion Polo for students who are lining up outside the gates wondering what is happening . Hey sarah, weve actually cross the street from your location where you can not only see, but you may be able to hear sure. That increase in Security Measures that we saw put in place by columbia officials overnight because of what you just showed our viewers. Were standing right next to what has become the only Public Access point, or at least for those who are are allowed on campus. And the system that the Columbia University has right now is you have members of the columbia community. They want welcome to this card readers with their columbia it they scan them you hear the beep, you see the red light. You have to move aside your denied access because this system automatically recognizes that you are either not essential at this point or you are not a student who resides on campus have been here already for quite some time. There are very few green lights that have gone out now, if there is anybody who feels that the system may be incorrect, there are supervisors here that will actually run peoples names. I can actually contact some of the department heads, but just to give you a sense of the disruption, sarah, what weve seen are mourning aside from other journalists, is a long line of people that have gathered. Again, it what is the main entrance right now . What is the only entrance . For those people who are looking to access Columbia University . And the reality is most of the people that youre seeing here in line will likely be denied access once they make their way to the front of the line. This is certainly going to speak to the disruptive factor what weve seen. And its also surreal to stand here and the shadow of the building that was occupied last night by protesters. So what you have are members of the Columbia University they are walking right underneath the banner that was unfurled during the overnight hours, right by the building that was occupied. And then basically trying their luck with their car to see if they will be allowed access. Now, this is just a second. This is just one of two Security Measures that were implemented by officials overnight. The other, they also issued a statement. They also sent out a letter to all the members of the community saying, if you do not have to be on campus today please stay away because theres quite a Bit Uncertainty right now says we send things back to you. The question here is, Will Columbia reach out to external Law Enforcement for any potential . Persistence that is a good point. Polo we have seen a large presence. The nypd out five at the university and for awhile there the university was saying that after police did come onto campus, taking people off after that happened, that they were not going to have Police Coming back onto campus, but now the situation has changed. You have students who are occupying Hamilton Hall. I know thats going to get really loud. Im going to push for one minute typical new york scene there that has nothing to do with the protest, but i do want to mention some of the history of Hamilton Hall here quickly 68. There were protesters who occupied this building over the vietnam war. You had another occupation that 72 by students. You had an occupation that 85 by students . Bidens here who took over Hamilton Hall to try and get the university to divest from south africa, from apartheid, south africa and their efforts worked. And the students here for the propalestinian movement are hoping that their efforts will work. Now they are occupying this building, this big, large building that you see behind me, Hamilton Hall, there is a history of this. We will also retaking you at some point to the university of texas in austin. Were there have been some serious protests going on and some clashes with police there and arrests. But for now the senate back to you, kate, these protests, happening all over College Campuses across the country from california to write here the epicenter in new york yep and obviously entering a new phase, if you want to call it that with now the seizing of this Academic Building at columbia The Big Question is what happens today, sarah, youre right theyre hearing from the university and were going to continue to follow this throughout the trigger out the morning and the de also happening right now, were going to show you a live look at the Courthouse Hallway behind over there the Courthouse Hallway in Lower Manhattan where soon you will see and possibly hear from donald trump before testimony resumes in his first criminal trial. And for for the first time, one of those Family Members is joining him at least on the way to court, has son eric was seen getting into the motorcade with him outside of trump tower just a few moments ago also, there is new reporting today, the donald trump is mad, mad at his Lead Attorney. And once his Lead Attorney to do more to be more aggressive against the witnesses, the jury, and the judge, seen as verjee and grasses live outside the courthouse for us, britain, what are you learning about donald trump now complaining about at all really Behind The Scenes . Yeah, listen, the Lead Attorney, youre talking about kate, their todd blanche. Listen when i was in the courtroom, he did speak mostly to todd blanche while hes seated at that defendants table, and what the New York Times is reporting is that he wants them like you said, kate to be more aggressive in this first criminal trial . Hi, all the quote is mr. Trump wants him to attack witnesses, attack with a former president sees as a hostile jury pool and attack the judge. Now listen our own paula reid also spoke to sources within trumps camp who says, this is a stressful time. The president is certainly can get pretty mad at his attorneys. Thats nothing new but this is a currently a stressful time, certainly as were at just the beginning of this first criminal trial, which could have a huge impact on his political career and himself as we no so well see how that all plays out and what we are expecting now for the returning back to court for the third week, we will see the witness take the stand. That is gary fair he is the banker that worked with Michael Cohen to open those Shell Companies in order to facilitate the reimbursement to Stormy Daniels, the center of this hushmoney trial. Were going to see lot of paperwork sort of entered into evidence. So jurors could sort of see the paper trail about that lead really the reason for these charges, according to the prosecutions so were not really sure whos gonna be after this witness or how much longer this witness will be on the stand. Of course, we dont get a headsup on the order of the prosecution rather not giving the defense a heads up either because they dont want trump to go on social media and say anything negative about members of the jury or the witnesses. And so thats why we are not getting that heads up, but listen, you mentioned eric trump in court. That is a first. We have not seen any Family Member supporting the former president inside the courtroom were actually seeing a little bit more support outside the courtroom as well. Theres actually a motorcade of trumps supporters, about three or four cars that have been circling this courthouse theres quite a bit more trumps supporters outside in the penned area for where protestors are allowed to be. So certainly going into this third week, it does appear that the former present has a little bit more supportive on his side. Know that was something that the former president was complaining about, that there werent more supporters out there in previous weeks. Its good to see you bren, were getting back to you all the action about to be starting back up in court. There.

I dont really think anyones asking, oh, is the fed good to cut interest . Great this time, thats where im john. I mean, if youre in the market for a mortgage or a car loan, youre going to be disappointed because the fed is widely expected to keep Interest Rates on hold for the six meeting in a row. Look at this just a 3 chance of a rate cut tomorrow. So it would be shocking if they did anything tomorrow, very low chances at the next meeting in june even if you go up to timber, the last meeting before the election, its just 60, 40 in favor of a rate cut. The problem of course, is inflation. Remember, the fed spiked Interest Rates the highest levels in more than two decades to try to get inflation under control. They, the good news is that because of all of this tough medicine from the fed, you can see all of these rate cuts starting two years ago and now on hold because of this tough Medicine Inflation has calmed down.
