| (32 minutes later) | |
| Good morning - if you're just joining us, here's what unfolded late on Tuesday night at Columbia University in New York: | |
| Police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters in a raid on Hamilton Hall, an academic building that was taken over by protesters nearly over 24 hours before | |
| One student told the BBC that about "80 - 100" police officers had stormed the hall, with local reports saying that flash bang devices were used to disorient protesters | |
| Unusual and tense scenes were captured at the ivy league university: police in riot gear climbing a ladder to enter the second storey of Hamilton Hall, and then protesters being led out and taken away in police buses as others gathered and even cheered for them | |
| Columbia authorised the raid after demonstrators defied a deadline to disperse. After the hall was "occupied, vandalised and blockaded, we were left with no choice", the university said | |
| Police later said they had cleared all the protesters from Hamilton Hall - and a tent camp on the lawns that had been around for nearly two weeks | |
| US universities have been gripped by protests as students demand a boycott of companies and individuals with ties to Israel during the war in Gaza | |
| The scene has now quietened as students who were stuck outside during the standoff have begun to return to campus | |
| Stay with us as we bring you the latest. | |
