America's university campuses have been rocked by pro-Palestinian protests, which began at Columbia University in New York last week. Police clash with protestors as US House speaker calls for President Biden to take action

A pro-Palestinian protest movement, sparked by a crackdown on an encampment at New York's Columbia University, has spread across America’s college campuses.

"My intention is to call President Biden when we leave here and share with him what we have seen with our own two eyes and demand that he take action," he said. Many of the students inside the encampment wear facemasks and black and white keffiyeh head scarves. Some are working on laptops. Others lie on blankets in the sun.

Beyond the encampment, students offered a wide range of views on the protest movement which has put their campus on front pages across the world. "This was the first time in a few days that I came back to campus. I felt the need to be able to study properly - I have finals next week," she explained.
