Campus protests live updates: 'Horrific violence' on UCLA campus after police clear New York protest - BBC News Campus protests live updates: 'Horrific violence' on UCLA campus after police clear New York protest - BBC News

That update from Nomia comes after hundreds of police officers raided Columbia University overnight, to disperse pro-Palestinian protesters who'd taken over a building on campus, Hamilton Hall. Regan Morris
The image below shows the location of the hall - as well as the lawn, where activists had camped out. Reporting from UCLA
Arrests were reported, although police haven't yet said how many. The university had earlier told students involved in the protests to leave or face expulsion. There’s a large police presence at UCLA now and a handful of protesters outside the camp cordon. Both sides are fortifying their space - police setting up metal barricades and protesters setting up wooden boards and protest signs.
It’s difficult to see into the camp now - police are keeping us about a 100ft back (30m), and protesters won’t allow access from back entrances.
After clashes overnight, it’s relatively quiet. Some protesters outside the cordon said the students inside the camp sprayed them with bear spray overnight.
In between the police and protesters is a large screen showing pictures of the people kidnapped by Hamas in the attack on southern Israel on 7 October, which prompted Israel's military operation in Gaza.
