About this episode

Protesters at Columbia University occupy a building on campus, as a standoff with the school over a pro-Palestinian encampment escalates. We talk to editor-in-chief of ULCA’s Daily Bruin about protests on her campus. The year-long war in Sudan drives parts of the country to the brink of famine. And the resignation of Scotland’s leader may give the UK opposition Labour party a boost ahead of national elections.
