BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, US campus protests turn violent as pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activists clash

University of California, Los Angeles was rocked by violence overnight

There have been violent clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and counter-protesters at University of California, Los Angeles. Meanwhile hundreds of people were arrested in New York, where students occupied part of Columbia University and demanded the institution cut ties with Israel.

Also on the programme:

Police in the South Caucasian country of Georgia fired tear gas and stun grenades to quell protests over new legislation that requires organisations with funding from abroad to register as foreign agents - it's been dubbed the "Russia law".

And can you ban politicians from lying? Members of the Welsh Senedd think so, and are discussing a law to do just that.
