The 11th hour with Stephanie Ruhle starts now. We are covering Breaking News this evening. At Columbia University here in manhattan where protest against the israelhamas war in gaza have been underway for several days, just after 9 00 p. M. Eastern, the new York City Police department breached Hamilton Hall using a truck with a ramp. That happened almost 24 hours after protesters broke into the building and occupied it. The nypd says Hamilton Hall is now cleared, and so is the Tent Encampment on the south lawn of the campus. An nypd spokesperson spoke to nbc news shortly after the officers went in.

Sounds like things are blowing up. No. Certainly not. Not that we know of. No, people are being detained now , which seems like detained now, which seems like a much more practical response than just hoping they turn up for their weekly or bi weekly check in. Well yes, because people were saying this would never happen. But but it does seem as though this policy is moving along. It is progressing. There are pictures which will show you in just a minute of essentially this first phase of detention underway. The home office has said theyre preparing for their first flight now in 9 to 11 weeks.

But i suppose you have to remember in all of this, these are people with no right
I have of course been watching all your coverage here, and what we have seen on the videos so far is actually the most organized and most common most professional Police Intervention we have ever seen on a college campus. There is not a huge collection of those, but there is enough beginning in 1968, to show how different this one is. The 1968 version, those 700 arrested students were gleefully beaten by the nypd. In those days, the Police Departments were going into campuses, were gleeful about the violence that they were visiting upon those antiwar protesters, and it was relentless, vicious, and cruel, and extended to the Democratic Convention in chicago, by investigated by police right. Thats not what we are seeing tonight. Our screen has been filled with what clearly do appear to be columbia student sets escorted by a Police Officer, both of them, the Police Officer and Student Walking very calmly to whatever that Arrest Destination is, what vehicle they will put those kids on and

Residential buildings and outbuildings in the private sector are burning. The cause of the fire could have been a broken power line, the head of the republic, alexey tsidenov, announced this in his telegram channel. And the spread of the fire was facilitated by dry grass and hurricane winds of more than 30 m s. For the situation on the spot.
