Watch: Protesters seize Columbia University's Hamilton Hall
Dozens of pro-Palestine demonstrators at Columbia University have escalated their protest over the war in Gaza by occupying an academic building.
Activists at the university in New York City seized Hamilton Hall early on Tuesday, barricading themselves inside.
One student said the campus was "lawless", as officials grapple with the long-running demo which has prompted a wave of rallies elsewhere.
