on



Columbia University has extended remote classes at its main New York City campus for the rest of term amid tense Gaza war protests that have spread to US colleges nationwide.

The hybrid learning comes as some students have reported antisemitic harassment around Columbia’s campus.

Some 133 were arrested on Monday in protests at New York University. Dozens of arrests were also made in rallies at Yale, while Harvard has restricted access to the campus.

Gaza war demonstrations have also cropped up at colleges in the US Midwest and on the West Coast, where one campus has been closed.

Police in Spain’s North African territory of Ceuta used batons and fired rubber bullets into the air to control crowds, as they moved hundreds of migrants from beaches to a tent camp. Tens of thousands of migrants crossed from neighbouring Morocco to Ceuta in July. At least 100 people died in the attempt. Though most of the migrants went back, several thousand have remained in the Spanish territory.
