Loved one have mesothelial will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and well come to you 808 to one 4,000 i had to Go Montgomery and tokyo and this is cnn campus is cracking down on propalestinian protesters as tensions ratchet up across the nation. And at the same time and israeli airstrike on rafah in southern in gaza killed 20 people. And Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken is in saudi arabia for ceasefire talks were following all of these developments here and abroad plus standing by for a ruling at any moment, the judge and former president trumps Hush Money Trial could decide whether to hold him in contempt for violating his gag order and hizon, the fbis ten Most Wanted List accused of terrorizing and entire country. Now one of haitis top gang leaders is with cnn about what he wants for haiti. Were following all of these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central and right now. We are watching a tense and escalating situation unfolding at Columbia University. Just minutes after School Officials those announced negotiations with propalestinian protesters had failed. The school is now warning those protesters that by 2 00 p. M. Today, they must clear out of their encampment and disperse or face suspension. And at the same time, a propalestinian Student Group which has now been suspended by the School Administration is calling on students to reject the ultimate hey, them and show up at the encampment. Cnns live from College Campuses all across the country today i want to start with Cnns Omar Jimenez at Columbia University. So omar we have this deadly fine at 2 00 p. M. Where less than an hour from that, do you have any sense of what may happen yeah. So were getting some reports from inside campus, right now from what the students are doing in reaction to this deadline thats now coming in an hour they took a vote essentially at the encampment on whether they would define it disorder and it does appear that many of them voted to actually stay and defy that 2 00 p. M. Order. Obviously, the university has said, if they do that and dont sign on to university policies, they will face suspension and they will be ineligible to finish the semester on good standing. So of course those are the stakes here. Now, that said obviously with this 2 00 p. M. Deadline and the news of it, it is prompted some outside protesters outside agitators because your Police Department has described them at points to at the very least, be aware of the situation, even schedule some protests outside of the campus, maybe he part of why weve actually seen a good, a large Law Enforcement presence that just got to outside of Columbia University within the last few minutes or so. So those are all facts doctors were continuing to watch. But of course, all of this is coming hours after the University PresidentMinouche Shafik announced this morning that negotiations between the Student Protesters and the university had failed to come to a resolution after after days, really since last week of good faith negotiations as university describe them, that means that the university will not divest from israel, which of course is one of the central points of why this encampment began in the firstplace, almost two weeks ago to this point. Now, moving forward, were almost two weeks more, a little more than two weeks to graduation. And the university has said, they will have commencement here. Now, how they deal with the encampment are resolved. The encampment as they describe, we will have to see, but clearly they intend and to have that commencement a little over two weeks time all right. I know mar standby for us because well be back to you within the hour. Is this deadline approaches here . Lets go to gabe cohen gave me youre there at George Washington university here in washington, where some Student Protesters actually toppled Police Barricades as the encampment there was expanded. What are you seeing . Yeah. Briana now, day five of this camp here at gw and things have calmed a little bit since that tense scene early this morning that you referenced where protesters are ripped apart and piled up. All of these barricades that had been around this a small section of the camp by which im near which im standing. There were about 20 protesters who were left tier. But as we spin around, you can see how many more of these tens have popped up in the hours since all over the yard, dozens of them, as well as several in The Public Street on The Public Street behind me up till this point there really has been no indication, no effort from dc police to forcefully remove the tense or the protesters. And i want to actually bring in one of those protesters now, motaz. Thank you so much for joining us. You are a grad student here at gw. Youve been here since the beginning. The school has said you and the other gw students who were here are facing suspension, potentially arrest, eventually and yet youre still here why are you still part of this protest were here first and foremost to be in solidarity with to remind the world of whats going on. And because theres still a genocide that theres still bombing, even at this very moment. And so but thats why were here. Were steadfast. Just because whats going on there is absolutely horrible and we want to be here and support of them and weve heard from protesters who are part of theyre saying that theyre calling for gw to divest from corporations with any ties to the Israeli Government or the israeli military. Has there been any conversation with the school . Any indication that you are even remotely close to having the school meet those demands sadly, there has not been any sort of discussion or indication that theyre willing to come to the table and talk to us about our demands in fact, they have been theyve tried to crack down on us i mean, they set up the barricade. We are barricaded in for the first four days they increase the Police Presence and we know that there have been at least two requests for the mpd to come in, an arrest us, and the mpd itself actually declined those requests. So its been a negative response so far. All right. Motels. Thank you so much for joining us. And as i said at this point, there has really been no indication that police are going to do anything today. Ive spoken with sources who told me that the Police Department the city, doesnt want the optics of arresting protesters forcibly removing these tense but of course things have escalated now with this scene overnight, the question, briana, alexs will mpd will the Police Change their posture at all as of this morning, a source telling me the escalation last night, not enough to have them change anything and arrest or forcefully removed these protesters. But well see what the day brings. All right. Gabe cohen at George Washington right here in the nations capital. Thanks very much. Lets get straight to cnns nick valencia, who is at the Emory University in atlanta, where faculty is pushing a vote of no confidence in the schools president in that comes after more than a dozen protesters were arrested, there last week. Nick, weve seen a fair bit of violence there on canvas and i understand that theres a new statement from emorys president. Was it say theyre there is a new statement here for memories, president , theyre talking about the unprecedented situation that happened ive been here on thursday sort of trying to read control the narrative. Initially, they had said that that protests had nothing to do with the university. Of course, that was not accurate. 28 people arrested, 20 of them had ties to the university either professors, students, faculty, some sort of connection. The action continues here at Emory University. Behind me, this is the leftover crowd from a walkout of faculty that happened at 12 00 p. M. Its ahead of another two 30 plan at demonstration, but i talked about that followed after the action on thursday at the violent arrests of 28 people one of them that was detained was a professor here, the chair of philosophy, noelle mcafee, and i caught up with her a short time ago and i asked her about the concern that jewish students have here. Some of suppressed of the hostility has just been to unsafe for them to return to campus. I asked her if the demonstrations that are going on here at emory are at their core antisymmetric do you feel that the core, any of this has to do with antisemitism or whats your reaction to those feelings from those jewish students . Im really sorry but i understand when people feel like that i feel attacked. We live in a culture that doesnt allow space for grieving and morning and nuance and so its easy to read political position as a personal attack, i think thats a lot of clarity among people who were working On The Issues of whats happening in gaza, that its not antisemitic theres some huge distinction between what our leaders do and whats going on. The people did administrators job is to make the trains run on time and they overstep when they think they need to clear aquatic in order to run a commencement ceremony. That is just so wrong we need to the First Priority should be places for students and Morning Spaces for dialogue across differences and thatll help both sides noelle mcafee, one of the protesters are detained one of the professors, i should say here at the university, and were also hearing from University Officials that they are in negotiations with Defense Attorneys of those arrested on thursday to potentially dropped all charges against those who were arrested. Meanwhile, back on campus here, theres still large crowds. It is though respectful and peaceful. For now. Alex all right. Uh, nick valencia. Thank you so much for that report. And to all of our reporters at these universities across the country here, lets talk a little bit more about hello, this now with their cnn Senior National security analysts, juliette kayyem, shes the former Assistant Secretary for the department of homeland security. And juliet obviously, each situation is different. Each university is different. The cities that theyre in, they are different but when it comes to state and local police being called in under what circumstances should College Administration administrators engage or not engage outside line . All enforcement as their balancing free speech with Campus Safety and operations thats exactly right. That is the balance and it is not one size fits all so basically, i think i think were at a pivot point of these colleges and universities beginning to learn because remember what started this was just peacefulness and then all of a sudden the Police Department is arresting students who are essentially just protesting. Theres, you know, they werent they werent, you know Lighting Things on fire. They were just protesting. I think what youve seen colleges and universities learn over the course of the week is that protest is a natural part of college and university experience. Grants that in most instances, although there are outliers, the students are not going to be disruptive to schools or to graduation. So you want to keep the temperature down if youre a university or college leader, you bring the cops in and you know, we know exactly whats going to happen. The numbers increase. People who may not even feel allegiance to the palestinian cause. We come involved. And then the third thing that ive been urging on air and elsewhere is, you provide a forum for students is protest is allowable you give them off ramps, so youre starting to see colleges and universities do that either dialogue or as we heard that professor say, another towards you bring people together and then outcomes and then eventually there will have to be some action, whether its Law Enforcement or not, we dont know it could be suspension. Were in a funny period. I met a university not right now, but i teach there. Its sorted that dead time between classes and graduation theres no need to make a decision and most of these instances until youre closer to graduation, if this might disrupt the building of capacity to have the graduation juliet, you mentioned the temperature that is probably about to go up at least as far as Columbia University it goes, were about 45 minutes away from this 2 00 p. M. Deadline. A lot of students have indicated that they plan to defy this request from the administrators, to voluntarily disburse what are you hoping to see from police and other security . Before yeah. In any case, i mean, i just i dont think that Law Enforcement is appropriate as a first stance, we saw a lot of people with a lot of energy, people outside of the safety and security realm, you making recommendations that you just throw the cops and we see what happens in that regard. And also we do have a First Amendment rights. We do have protests rights, and these are, you know, theyre not children, but on the other hand, its that kind of energy you i think reflects the 20 somethings. So that, that since thats the case the kind of consequences that colleges and universities can do short of arrest is essentially those its related to their academic status and that is going to hurt them. I have no problem with that. If we get to that moment you cannot disrupt graduations, i think for example, usc overreacted. I think it was this was usc canceled its main graduation. You have to let jewish and other students feel protected and safe, but im not sure canceling and entire graduation is good for either side because people become more divided. So if i sound com, it isnt that i m is just that part of this is just buying time before you see some of the disruptions that might be or Police Actions that might be the limited number of colleges and universities, but no one should go first in in the way that we saw originally last week with Law Enforcement well it is a very tense de campuses all across the country. We know that youll be watching carefully and well have you back very soon, julie, thank you very much. There are new developments in the israelhamas war right now, the us Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken, he is in saudi arabia meeting with key Middle Eastern leaders as well as the de facto ruler of saudi arabia, crown Prince Mohammed bin so im on, this comes as hamas considers a new deal that calls for the release of hostages in exchange for a ceasefire in gaza. Now blinken is saying that israel has presented hamas with a proposal that is extraordinarily generous and he is urging its leaders to accept it. Lets go live now to saudi arabia and Cnn International anchor Becky Anderson and becky, you have reported for months on the outline of what the second ceasefire would a pause in the fighting could look like. Do you have any sense that the hi there actually closer to a deal today i think were as close as weve been in march this has been months of deadlock, but at this stage, it does feel as if we are getting close to an agreement from both sides which would be a major step towards ending this conflict let me just go through what we know to be being discussed at present. Hamas officials with Qatar Mediators and egyptian mediators in cairo, as we speak, considered bring what is effectively an egyptian proposal which has been crafted with the help of these rayleighs, but not necessarily completely agreed to. But it calls for the following phase one, a period of weeks. Were not 2303 hostages would be released least for a period of calm during a period of calm period of weeks. In exchange for palestinian prisoners. Thats less hostages and the israelis had originally been demanding that was up to 40 this is up to 33, as we understand it. Phase two should that be successful . Those first period of weeks. Phase two is what is important here. And this is different Phase 2b Calls for the Restoration Of, quote, a sustainable com. Now i spoke to one diplomatic source, familiar with the tulips who said that is language which was first proposed by the United States in doha back in february, which wasnt at the time accepted by the israelis, which effectively suggests a permanent ceasefire without, without actually calling it that this is a Restoration Of sustainable calm for a period of around about a year during which the rest of the civilian hostages serving Israeli Soldier
