Preferred better science, better results im Elizabeth Wagmeister in los angeles in this cnns Breaking News hello, and a warm welcome to all of us joining us Around The World. I, max foster, it is 1 may 9 00 a. M. Here in london, 1 00 a. M. In los angeles julies where protests on the campus at ucla are turning violence. As you can see, according to local media, things came to a head about two hours go when propalestinian and proisraeli protesters got into a Confrontation Kabc Reports Fireworks were thrown inside the propalestinian encampment Campus Police say theyre responding to the incident of course, College Campuses across the us having swept with protests over the last several weeks, but we havent seen this level of violence up until now demonstrators demanding an end to the war in gaza and for their universities to divest from israel as well, were trying to get a proper sense of whats happening on the ground. They are clearly clashes between protesters and other groups. But its a chaotic situation. And so were trying to define exactly whos clashing. And as you can see were not seeing a lot of police there. So these arent clashes with the police from what we can see is a fast developing situation. Tensions just running extremely high as they have been on other campuses, particularly at columbia in new york. But this feels like its taking a different turn. The big test of course, for authorities, for the police, this is a state university, is to figure out how to respond we did saying Columbia Police dressed in Protective Gear going in not necessarily heavy handed, but a very clear response to clear protesters out of one of the buildings. There this is a different university, a different part of the country and a different protests. So the police will be trying to work out exactly how to deal with this. Because when things turn violent, of course, people need to be protected news cameras, rolling on that campus, but also at Columbia University as police moved in, as i say, a few hours go and propalestinian protesters there were evicted back more than 100 demonstrators were rested on tuesday, mostly at columbia, but some also from nearby city college. Police were able to empty out one of the main buildings at columbia that had been seized by protesters for nearly a day, officers entered Hamilton HallFrom A Second Story Window using an elevated a ramp. Very dramatic scenes there inside, they found the doors barricaded with vending machines, chairs, and tables in windows with covered with Newspaper Police use flash bangs to clear the building. No reports of injuries. Any students who were inside are now facing expulsion. Thats a decision for this. Private College Authorities say the encampments that were once removed only to return are going away now for good this time. So there will be a big presence there. Is that is enforced police have been asked to stick around until at least may the 17th, two days after the schools Graduation Ceremonies earlier, a former Faculty Member whos now a professor at a nearby law schools spoke about how that will affect the mood on campus i dont think its gonna be a comfortable place to be for students. I dont think its gonna be a comfortable place for families to comment is not, for Graduation Celebration the client is going to be chilled. Its its gonna be a different place to be at and really what columbia has done and bringing in the nypd is to overwhelm the Student Population with just the sheer presence and numbers of force. Just, just being there is going to make a difference. So i can imagine that students will still demonstrate in whatever way that they can they feel very strongly about columbia divesting from supporting whats going on in gaza. And so i dont imagine that that will end. It might look a little different, but i think were still good to see students demonstrating soon as Miguel Marquez was on the scene as a Police Arrived and began arresting demonstrators, his report so new York Police Officers moved in in the hundreds into Columbia University. They were they were not in full tactical gear, but they did have helmets and bhutan bonds. And they moved in on this street. This is 114 street in amsterdam right here. They moved in in very large numbers onto the campus through a single well gate on 114 street you can still see one bus down there. That boss is taking whoever is left to arrest saw dozens of people arrested that were brought up to a separate gate here on 114. But the whole that had been taken over by students, Hamilton Hall is just up the Amsterdam Avenue here police were able to get into it using a bear cats they were lifted up to the second floor. They used flash bang grenades, sort of distract whoever was inside Hamilton Hall, and then they were able to get in. They said that the individuals in their had barricaded the doors with everything from chairs and tables to soda Soda Machines and there werent many people in there police now say it is done that everybody that was on the encampment for the last two weeks has been moved out or arrested at everybody that was in the hall and has been either moved out or arrested. And that the entire campus there is nobody on the columbia campus that shouldnt be there at this point, say new York Police Officers that Columbia University has also asked any pd to keep a presence on the university through may 17 at commencement is on may 15th. So it is clear that columbia doesnt want to have a repeat what happened a couple of weeks ago when they cleared the campus once and the encampment reestablish itself this time, they want to get back to the business of being a university personally back to you throughout this ordeal, weve been getting updates from columbia undergraduate student, John Towfighi hes also a freelancer for cnn. He says is believed many of the protesters who breached Hamilton Hall werent students the nypd say that they think about half of the protesters occupying Hamilton Hall were non affiliates what theyre calling outside agitators since the arrest took place and there were duly 100 people arrested at columbia. There has not been an official disclosure of how many students there were and how many outside people . Well, there were people are going back and forth on this Question Video has circulated on social media of people climbing into windows on columbias Campus Last Night when people are occupied, hamilton. However, there has been an official University Policy restricting access to campus to only columbia affiliates. So technically, any out Site Agitators would have had to disobeyed University Policy and sneak by the University SanctionedPublic Safety ill say then Law Enforcement contributor and retired fbi supervisory special agent steve moore says occupying buildings like this is against the law. Heres what he told my colleague Rosemarie Church earlier they have a right to protest, but they dont have a right to trespass and take over buildings what they were saying was not against the law where they were that was against the law. It comes down to when does a University Cease to be a university . When does it stop Teaching Students . When does it stop functioning . At that point, theyve essentially killed a university at least temporarily. So it comes down to how the university wants to handle it, how the government wants to handle it. I was surprised that they came in so quickly. Im not disappointed. They came in so quickly, but, usually theres some, as you say, theres some risk to that and i think part of it might have been rosemary that they had information according to the chief of police and the mayor that outside organizations were teaching them im how to resist once you occupy a location, you do things like Run Piano Wire and Guitar String across Openings Door openings, and things like that to where police cant move from room to room to room and they put booby traps and i think the police probably thought were dealing with groups who might be doing that kind of thing. And it takes time for that type of those type of obstacles to be in placed. So they might have been thinking we can do it tonight and its going to be 100 times easier than doing it a week from tonight situation in new york, lets look at the situation in la, the ucla campus, julian protests between proisraeli and propalestinian groups. Turn the violent just a few hours ago, seeing clashes between demonstrators on camps with people feeling scooters setting off fireworks inside the encampments. Campus police say theyre responding to the situation ucl is one of many us colleges and universities are seeing these protests grow over for the war in gaza. But this is the first really violent turn that weve seen. So you had the propalestinian encampment and protest, then you saw them being surrounded by counterprotests, many of whom clearly support israel from some of the signs and flags that weve been seeing these are the sorts of scenes playing out overnight in la right now. Its about 1 10. These are live images a really difficult situation. We dont see police theyre in the same way that we have been in new york. Of course theyre aware of whats going on, but there considering clearly quite how theyre going to respond to this. But as it turns violent, people will need to be protected and they will be considering how to handle that. Also, the Security Forces for the university itself. But tensions clearly rising and the morning is very young and well have to wait to see how this plays out. But these are worrying scenes and it feels like an escalation and the tension that weve seen across University Campuses in the united states. We did see the Police Arrive at Columbia University in Protective Gear, a very big show of force. Were not seeing that in la at present, but well keep these Life Pitchers going for you and tried to figure out whats going on for you because thats what were relying on right now. So we have the cameras above from helicopters. And is also someone the ground as well back in just a moment.

Gov Breaking News out of la clashes at the ucla campus according to local media, the skirmishes erupted during dueling demonstrations between propalestinian and pro israeli protesters were hearing fireworks were throwing. These are the images youve got right now. Theres a really high sense of tension just before the break, we saw someone Going Forward to one of the Protest Groups and grabbing the barrier really tense situation, the la times reports to the university had declared the propalestinian encampment unlawful and says students who didnt leave Risk Suspension or expulsion. The times also saying the Counter Protesters tried to pull down the barricades around the encampment. This is happening right now in the heart of delay. United states is second largest metro area were going to speak to Paula Hancocks now whos been reporting, of course, on the middle east crisis, the tension between palestinians and israelis for some time now and paula, were seeing this now transpose or the tension at least go through america has seen a buildup. Of course, across campuses in america. But this is the first time were really seeing violence of layout flare up yeah, maxim, this really speaks to the intense emotions that are being felt, not just in america, but Around The World when it comes to what is happening at the moments in gaza and the protesters have been calling for the end of that war in gaza. Theyve been calling for divestment of funds of anyone who is selling arms, for example to israel or involved in any companies that could be seen as supporting this war and this is really bubbling over now, this particular protest here in ucla, the pick which is were looking at, its, its been a couple of hours that we have seen this intensification and violence spilling out. Its not just chanting now, its not just anger, its not just passions, but those passions are now spilling over into, into physical action. We have been seeing attempts to to pull down some of those barricades, to pull down some of the encampments of the protestors themselves and interestingly, max, we havent seen a Police Presence here over the last couple of hours. Now, i did just a minute ago see an image of a police car arriving. We dont know if they are now going to two intervene, but certainly there hasnt been an intense Police Presence despite this going on for one or two hours. This protest. But there is intense feeling among these students and it really has been bubbling over when you look at what is happening in gaza. When you look at the death toll, you look at the desperate humanitarian crisis that is ongoing and the fact that still not enough humanitarian aid is getting into the Palestinian Civilians who desperately need food, water, shelter, and protection. Of course. So this this is really what were seeing now this these feelings of passion bubbling over into what appears to be violence between the two separate camps. You have the propalestinian camp and the pro israeli camp here on the ucla campus. Max, what were seeing now, paula, im just weve got these quite dangerous optics arent may youve got the Pro Palestinian camp there, on the right, surrounded by the barriers that youve got. Pro is really protesters pulling of barrier effectively trying to evict them because this is what the university has called for but the optics of that and the microcosm that it shines a light on is worrying, isnt it in terms of tension i made it is, it is worrying and its surprising that were not seeing any campus gods were not seeing Campus Security. Were not seeing police getting involved in this, this kind of an altercation. I mean, its sort 20 in the morning. There its not, something that you want to see obviously, tensions and passions are inflamed on both sides. Both feeling aggrieved, both feeling angry
