Tensions remain high across numerous college campuses in the US over protests concerning the Israel-Hamas war. A dramatic late-night police raid at New York's Columbia University cleared the campus of protesters.

Meanwhile, on UCLA's campus, police were called in after pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters clashed. Scripps News' National Correspondent Tomas Hoppough has more.
