colleague, three, three lee filter today or physically filter.com i'm melanie zanona in washington and this is cnn we're following breaking news this morning, violence erupting between protesters and law enforcement at colleges and universities across it's the country. cnn correspondence are alive on the scene in florida. a six-week abortion ban just took effect today. the strict new law could have the biggest impact on abortion access in the since roe was overturned and the biden administration is moving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous this drug. so what is actually changed and what happens next hello, i'm wolf blitzer in washington and jareh, the cnn newsroom these cnn breaking news now we begin
8:02 am
this hour with breaking news. >> the struggled to control the ongoing chaos that college campuses across the united states. this was the scene just a little while ago in madison, wisconsin as police and protesters clashed at the university of wisconsin. watch this according to the student newspaper, campus police gave protesters some 15 minutes to
8:03 am
remove their tents. it's not clear if any arrests have been made. i want to bring in our cnn security correspondent, josh campbell. he's in los angeles on the campus of ucla, where protesters and counter protesters italy clashed overnight and the lapd was called in. josh, we've seen a shift in the efforts by colleges over the last 24 hours around the country trying to regain control of their campuses by calling in the police what are you seeing as this effort moves forward i don't know if josh is hearing these. >> joshuya is how does audio issues i didn't hear your question there. obviously, we've been talking the about these protests that have been happening, particularly in particular this morning, this incident at the university of wisconsin in madison, where you saw authorities move and started disassembling one of the many protests camps that we've seen at various universities across the united
8:04 am
states. police moving in, you saw some confrontations with protesters there on this video where they were locking arms pushing against police. the police then pushing against them. this is all part of an escalation that we've seen at various campuses, different universities handling these protests very differently, uh, but of course we saw recently at the university of texas at austin for example, police, they're moving in as this small camp was set up, authorities not wanting that to then grow to a larger encampment. and of course, overnight at columbia university after days we saw police eventually moved who've been there that ending. thankfully, quite peacefully. and of course where we are right now here at ucla uc, large police presence here on standby in our colleague, stephanie, emma is going to talk about what happened here overnight, but we're seeing a lot more forceful posture from law enforcement. of course, it's yet to be seen what happens at this university? with this again, it will are josh, i wanted you to stand by for us. >> we're gonna get back to you in a few moments. but right now, i want to bring in lindsey douban. she's a student at the university of wisconsin in madison. lindsay, thanks very
8:05 am
much for joining us. you were there, you saw was going on. tell us what you saw yeah. >> so i received a text this morning about the police were moving in to remove the encampment, and i quickly got out of that and went to go wash what was happening and at first, it was people braiding the police with and so but it hadn't gotten too crazy yet. but as more tents were removed, and a couple of people were detained things a little bit more violence and i started to move back and it's heartbreaking really it's certainly is what's the situation lindsey like there now? well, i went back to my apartment, but the police have gone as far as as far as i can tell, say last and there's one time still there and a bunch of protesters and the protests goes on how long was the protest encampment at the
8:06 am
university of wisconsin in madison in place it's been two days and how do you think the university has handled this situation? >> i don't think there's really a right way to go about this even if you consider these laws unjust, mlk said civil disobedience requires that the individuals who break the laws willingly accept the consequences of doing so i mean, more in college now, we're adults and there are policies and laws in place to protect students. and when you break those laws you have to accept the consequences so i believe the university is well within their rights to try to break up the encampment and it has gotten threatening to students approach custer did a hail sign to a friend of mine yesterday. so it's not just peaceful. kuhn by as people might think, because a lot more to it do you think is protesters lindsay i understand
8:07 am
fully the consequences of what they're doing. they could face either suspension from the university or even expulsion from the university, not allowed to come back and they, some of them could even face arrest, which could affect their education in their careers down the road. do they? they appreciate the enormity of what's going on i don't think they appreciate you. >> normally, however, they do know that they are breaking university policy and law because before you can't make you went up university on which i totally commend them for sent out an email with links to campus policies and mix specifically said that setting up camp encampments was against the law and university pop policy. and that students who tried to set up an would face the consequences. and university sent this email out wellbore. i want to say about a day or so before the enchantment went up. so these students are aware that they are breaking the rule. >> all right. lindsey, do been
8:08 am
stay safe over there will be in touch with you. thank you very much for joining us right now. i want to bring a cnn, stephanie she's on the campus of ucla. that's in los angeles. stephanie was violent night. they're pretty shocking. where do things stand now? >> much calmer at this time of day, wolfe and i just wanted to show you though, you can still see what's leftover of what happened last night starting closer to midnight. here on the campus. i can tell you. i was here all day yesterday and it was fairly calm. he saw a few people yelling over the barricades, but that's it. but do you see those as barricaded? here then there's this walkway and thens that barricade. what the video we saw from last night shows it looks like people from this sayyed, we're pulling on the barricades. they were throwing things into the palestinian pro-palestinian camp on that side, there. we did see some sort of liquid being shot back out from that there, but it did seem like there were trying to destroy, employ the plywood from this sayyed, there were security
8:09 am
that was in this center area that we're trying to put the barricades back in place. but this is where a lot of the students had questions about where it law enforcement. in fact daily bruyne, the school newspaper the student journalists writing today that they think ucla is complicit because even though they said yesterday, the chancellor said that there would be more security on we campus. this went on for a while on campus before law enforcement arrived and we did see that mayor karen bass put out a statement statement calling at a born what she was seeing here on campus and then we saw a lot enforcement started to make their way onto canvas after 1:00 a.m. and then in that time, there were still some people out here protesting. we've watched them put up a wall, push people out. much calmer now, but still unclear. wolfe, what this means going forward today as far as this encampment, which obviously is still here we'll be watching it together with you, stephanie. thank you very much. i want to go back to cnn's josh campbell he's also out there at ucla for us. tell us more josh, about the law enforcement
8:10 am
response at ucla? >> well it's a lot quieter here. you're right now, wolfe obviously than we saw overnight with some of those stunning images of what was taking place just behind me at this in canvas where you saw fireworks, you saw obviously those clashes. this is the copy today of the daily bruyne. you see this encampment and fireworks going off unclear if there were any injuries it's worth pointing out our as our colleague, elisabeth joseph noted that so much of the great information we're getting is from student journalist. some of these newspapers have been in business for over 100 years doing critical reporting to include about what law enforcement is doing, what they're not doing right now. you can see it's just kind of wait and see approach right now, the university that president has deemed this sent can't meant to be unlawful, quote-unquote. it's unclear if there to be simply academic penalties or if authorities will actually go in. but as we pan over, you can see multiple agencies here from the california highway patrol, ucla police department los angeles police department, sheriff a line of cars here. again, this is much different than what
8:11 am
happened at just kicked off overnight and that's really one of the criticisms that we've been hearing. there were private security guards that were here on site. but you didn't see this robust law enforcement posture, which is obviously worth noting, particularly what we've seen in other places across the country. the violin, you can see miami, this is the encampment right now now this is where stephanie was just a moment ago. i was talking to some of the people in there just a short time ago. they say there's no plan that they have right now to actually leave. this is a similar posture we've seen these candidates across the country. of course the big question we're waiting to see what will law enforcement here do? well, they actually go in and clear that encampment, or will this just continue to be a negotiation of sorts, will have to wait and see all right. >> josh campbell at ucla for us, josh, thank you very much. still ahead. much more and all the campus unrest across the united states, other news we're following as well, the vice-president kamala harris heads to florida as women there now face what's being discussed thrived as a near-total ban on abortions. meanwhile, today in arizona lawmakers will vote on repealing the civil war era

8:17 am
york there's a sense of calm at columbia university. it's a stark contrast to last night when roughly 300 people on the campus were arrested and they were also arrested at a nearby city college csi nyu city college of new york. new york's mayor claims outside actors are trying to indicate if you're nate young people into violence cnn correspondent gabe cohen is joining us live from columbia university right now, gay. first of all, what can you tell us about the situation there? what's the latest? >> yeah. well, if as you noted, it's quiet this morning. this is one of the entrances here to this very restricted campus right now if you look through the gates, you can see there are some people walking around the campus right now, but it is only students who work or who live here, i should say, and then essential faculty really just people who need to be here. we've seen plenty of people get turned away, including students who have been confused about who's allowed on campus and who is not. we're also seeing a lot of police officers, so many
8:18 am
police officers from nypd who are here, we know that the school has asked for the nypd to keep officers here from the campus until may 17 after graduation. so we expect this is just the beginning and we're going to continue to see several officers around the entrances and even on campus here at columbia, this building behind me this is hamilton hall. this was the center of that dramatic police action last night, officers making their way into this building through a second floor window, they were in riot gear and helmets and they ended up arresting dozens of people inside the building, as well as many outside in that encampment. more than 200 hundred and all. i spoke to a student, of freshmen here who was coming off the campus trying to get food for the first time in 12 hours because of the lockdown here last night, who talked about the mood on campus as all of that was playing out in the late hours of the night he and his
8:19 am
fellow students were in their dorms water chang, what was unfolding, take a listen. this is what he told me some people were really scared about the police presence and some people happy, that the police came in and swept the encampment and everything. >> but i feel like regardless of everyone's views, like in the building yesterday, we all just wanted to make sure we're all okay and wolfe, i also interviewed last hour a student journalist here who was very concerned that the nypd ended up moving all of the student press who were here on campus just before arresting all of those protesters. >> they move them to a place where they couldn't get a view of what was unfolding. he essentially said there would be a lot more evidence of whether or not nypd followed protocols because there have been a lot of concerning videos that have come out at this point. and really all of the visuals, the photos and videos that we have seen have either come from the nypd or the protesters selves
8:20 am
media had no real view of what was unfolding yesterday. you also mentioned the idea of these, those outside agitators who the mayor and other officials in new york said, we're a driving force in that protest. we should learn more about how many of those people arrested we're affiliated with columbia. that may be in the hours and days ahead as so many of them get arraigned and appear in court how many were actually students or professors at columbia university and how many were is the mayor of new york has described them as outside agitators and you say, we'll get more details on that. >> that's coming up yeah. >> we expect as they go to court, we're going to learn a lot more about who those individuals are. and if those city officials are right, that more than half of the people involved in this protest are not affiliated with columbia. we don't have any way to verify that up till now. >> all right. gabe cohen in new york at columbia university will stay in close touch with you. thank you very much. we're
8:21 am
going to continue to monitor all the current campus unrest across the country. but there's other important news that's happening today as well in arizona's capital for example, lawmakers are set to vote on repealing the state's civil war era abortion ban. if the measure succeeds, arizona's 15 week restriction will continue to be locked in that state, but officials warned that the 18, 64 ban could still be enforceable, at least for a short while nonemergency bills passed in arizona, don't take effect until 90 days after the legislature adjourns kearns, the state's democratic governor is expected to sign the repeal if, if it goes through elsewhere in florida, for example, that state's six-week abortion ban takes effect today. that's before many women even know they are pregnant last year, one in every three abortions in the south happened in florida. now the state has one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation. cnn medical correspondent meg tirrell is
8:22 am
joining us from jacksonville right now. you're at a clinic. they're in florida before the law changed? what was it like yeah. >> well, here at this clinic called a woman's choice and jacksonville, we spoke with a patient who was there to obtain a the medication, abortion she is a mother of two children already and she said she would prefer to only be identified by her first name, candace, and not to have her face on camera for privacy. the reasons. >> but here's what she told us about the impact of the ban on her and others like her i've experienced traumatic births i went on to have to help the children, but it was very touching. go as high-risk and now being over that 35 mark, it's even more high-risk for me to get pregnant so it's very scary that these laws are being put into place in my life matters and it's just tough thing to have to go through. i don't think anybody plans to do something like this until it
8:23 am
happens to them in their face. so that decision, did you ever expect? there would be a situation like this where things change so dramatically one day to the next. i wasn't really aware that it was so soon that this law was going into fate until effect on may 1? i was blown away until i called all for women's rights and i usually stay on top of it, but i just didn't realize it was happening that soon. and i was pretty devastated to hear that it was happening this fast wolff, this doesn't just affect people here in florida, but this has been an important access point for abortion across the south last year. >> as many as 8,000 people traveled to florida to obtain abortions. now, the closest states will be north carolina, which has a 12 week ban, or virginia farther north than that beyond 12 weeks well, not drell, or medical correspondent, jacksonville thank you very much. vice president kamala harris, by the way, will be in jacksonville later today to talk about
8:24 am
reproductive rights and what's at stake in november election. it's part of the biden campaign's push to blame donald trump for these restrictive bands this morning the president released a video railing against trump's comments to time magazine on abortion. watch this folks here at donald trump just said to time magazine, it's shocking after bragging about overturning roe and saying women should be punished for access, reproductive health care. >> he said states should be able to prosecutor we women joining us. now, kelly flynn, she's the president and ceo of a woman's choice. it's an independent abortion clinic with locations in florida, north carolina, and virginia. kelly, thank you very much for joining us. first of all, how is your organization prepared for the implementation of this six? week abortion ban in florida all right. >> thank you all for having me. we've been preparing for this for quite some time, but mostly with in the last month, once
8:25 am
the opinion came down even though it happened, it went into effect today. there's really no right way to prepare for this, to have to turn patients away, which we've already had to do today. we've turned three patients away that will have to travel thousands of miles to get their procedure which is done. so the staff are working hard to make sure that we can serve as many patients as possible so it's just a matter of us triaging and making sure that we do the proper gestational sizing according to the florida law a lot of women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks. >> what happens if after six weeks they discover the doctor tells the woman that the fetus is not viable, and unless there's an abortion there could be major health complications for the mother. what happens then if the if there's no fetal tones, then the patient would have access to have an abortion or
8:26 am
miscarriage manager schmidt if a patient if a physician of course, says that she's past six weeks, she's not eligible for an elective abortion. >> so if there are fetal tones and there is an abnormality, unfortunately, the patient will be required to carry her pregnancy to term or the woman could go to a different state and they have an abortion. >> is that right? >> yes. yes. >> she was a time to either north carolina, virginia in that time magazine interview, as you know, donald trump was asked if he would be comfortable if states punish women for violating the state abortion bans. and he said, and i'm quoting him now, i'll put it up on the screen. i don't have to be comfortable or uncomfortable. the states are going to make that decision. the states are going to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable, not me. kelly, what's your response to that it's unbelievable that that comment would even be made obviously with what we're experience now with the way the
8:27 am
states have enforced regulations on abortion. >> it's just it's very dangerous and it's unfortunate that positions that practice medicine here in florida could possibly be penalized or criminalized for treating patients. if if there are any causes of abnormalities or anomalies, in florida. now with a six-week ban, are there exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother? >> possibly with the life of the mother which would require two physician consents the unfortunate part about this wolf is that if a patient is rate or there's incest, she's going to have to produce papers from the police department which will be very invasive and public for her to be able to produce these types of documents for her to come in we've seen as just absolutely unfair. >> as you know, kelly before today, florida was a key access point for abortions in the south what options do pregnant
8:28 am
women now have to get the care they need? >> we will see as many patients as we can we will help refer patients out of state. we will help navigate their problem process, offer them alternatives if they choose to. parent, if they choose adoption will help patients navigate through that as well. this, is just unfortunate because some patients are going to be forced into motherhood by this restriction are there any plans to expand your organization, kelly? >> first dates not at the moment. >> well, if no, we currently have three locations in north carolina and one in virginia all right. >> kelly flynn will stay in close touch with you. thank you very much for joining us. those protests escalated across america's college campuses, new york city's mayor, eric adams says outsiders were involved with the building occupation over at columbia university in new york details of how the nypd cleared it out

8:34 am
encampment plus in new york city, startling new images show the damage after protested protesters barricaded themselves inside columbia's hallowed hamilton hall, resulting in more than 300 arrests. >> the new york city mayor eric adams is saying the break-in was led by outside agitators. his words outside agitators, he blamed them for radicalizing student protesters i want to bring in a cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller right now john, first of all, what's your reaction to may your atom is saying outside agitators, not necessarily students enrolled in the university where we're directly involved, an instigating this well, i think the marriage referring to some of the nationally known organizers that we're not at columbia that showed up just before the taking over of hamilton hall wolf, you had a protest that was a bunch of tents on the west lawn that had
8:35 am
been set up an encampment. >> and negotiations that were going slowly with the school that came to an impasse on sunday and then the sudden turn of the taking of hamilton hall was a signal that something had changed and what the main air and the deputy commissioner for intelligence, rebecca weiner, we're talking about today, is these students didn't wake up overnight from sleeping in a tent and suddenly know how to seize a building get control of all the entrances, use bicycle locks in chains to set up blockades and furniture everything you did have some people from out-of-town who showed up who are in the business of training protesters in direct action? >> yeah. the beyer also be radamsa as news conference a little while ago, mentioned that people indoctrinating young people at columbia, columbia university were involved. how concerning should
8:36 am
that be if proven true that people were coming in indoctrinating some of the students to get violent, if you will. we saw the video he of them smashing through windows and doors to get into that hamilton hall well, i think the concern is it depends where you sit. >> if you talk to organizers like lisa fithian, who is a nationally known organizer who arrived at columbia monday and left yesterday. she would say direct action, property damage, vandalism is all fair game in protest if you are committed enough to take those actions and face arrest if you're a columbia university or the nypd, your view of that is going to be different. the letter from the president of columbia says, the events of the cap campus last night referring to monday night left us with no choice. we support the university's trustees and determine the building occupation, the encampments,
8:37 am
the related disruptions posed a clear and present danger. so one side views this as direct action and resistance. the other side views this as a clear violation of law and criminal activity used to work at it and why pd what i don't understand is if there's violence and potentially endangering students or others on the campus of columbia university or ccny, the city college of new york, which is not too far away. >> why do right. can't police just go and deal with that? why do they need permission from the university to step by step into the campus? >> well, it's a dotted line. wolfe, the police want to make sure that the university is comfortable with their presence and their actions. it's why they require letters like this one from the from the college saying this is the action that we expect from you. but if somebody calls 911 and saying, i'm being stabbed or i'm going to be i'm being robbed. a police will respond to the
8:38 am
campus and go on the campus right away when it's an organized protest, they really want to engage with the university, with their public safety department, with their administrators to make sure that when they take whatever action they do take, they don't faced vast criticism about who wanted you here in the first place and how dare you come on the campus and so on. they want that support apparatus around them to show that this was a shared decision, especially because these things are off are often done lawfully lawful, but end up looking awful and these become viral videos i think if you look at yesterday, the idea that they were able to retake the building, arrest over 100 people with no injuries and minimal resistance they're pretty good at this at new york. they have the tools and they have the requisite number of cops they certainly do. >> are john miller. thank you very much for your expertise. appreciate it. also today, donald trump is back on the campaign trail after being held

throughout the day here on cnn, but there's other important news we're following as well, including this for more than 50 years, marijuana has been classified as one of the most dangerous drugs in the united states, listed alongside substances like heroin and ecstasy. but in a truly historic move right now, the biden administration is recommending that marijuana be reclassified as a lower-risk drug. this of course, could change impact the impact that cannabis-related research has developed. an acknowledged the potential benefits benefits of marijuana. let's bring and see it in health reporter jacqueline howard. jacqueline, first of all, tell us more about what this reclassificatio n would actually do well, what's the reclassification that we're talking about here is that we are hearing that the doj recommended rescheduling marijuana from being a schedule one substance to schedule well, three now i will say with rescheduling, it would still be illegal under federal law, but there's a significant
8:55 am
difference here between one and three scheduled three substances include drugs that are seen as having current excepted medical purposes. >> these are drugs that are seen as having less potential for abuse than schedule one and schedule role two drugs. this means that marijuana would be in this thing schedule as substances like prescription ketamine or tylenol with codeine. and currently under schedule one. that means that marijuana is seen as a substance that has no current accepted medical use, which we know is not true. it's seen as having high potential for abuse. now i will say any substance that has some potential for abuse can be scheduled. it's either a schedule one ranging all the way to schedule five. but seeing this shift in how we view where marijuana fits in on that scheduling spectrum drum is significant weapon if we do see the rule-making process play out, if we do see this
8:56 am
proposal becoming final in the coming months, that will drastically change how we view and interact with this substance. it would make marijuana more easily accessible for medicine, for science and research. it could shift how businesses and the cannabis space, what freedoms they have. so this is a historic moment. wolfe yes, it is our health reporter, jacqueline howard. >> thank you very much for that update to our viewers. thanks very much for joining me here in the cnn newsroom. i'm wolf blitzer. i'll be back later. tonight's 6:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room. stay with us inside politics with dana bash starts after a very short break every piece of evidence tells a story. how would really happen? >> yes el martin. sunday's at nine on cnn from tried and true try something new so. many ways
