CHENGDU: Professional shuttler Lee Zii Jia got Malaysia off to a ruthless start against Japan in the quarter-finals of the Thomas Cup Finals by crushing Kenta Nishimoto 21-13, 21-3 in the first singles on Thursday (May 2).
Police make arrests as they face-off with pro-Palestinian students after destroying part of the encampment barricade on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, early on May 2, 2024. Police deployed a heavy presence on US university campuses on May 1 after forcibly clearing away some weeks-long protests against Israel's war with Hamas.
Dozens of loud explosions were heard during the clash from flash-bang charges or stun grenades fired by police. But the assembled police stood by on the periphery for hours before finally starting to force their way into the encampment around 3.15 am PDT , tearing down barricades and arresting occupants who refused to leave. The raid was led by a phalanx of California Highway Patrol officers carrying shields and batons.
The occupants of the outdoor protest camp, set up last week, had remained mostly peaceful before the melee, in which both sides traded blows and doused each other with pepper spray. Taylor Gee, a 30-year old pro-Palestinian protester and UCLA law student, said the police action felt"especially galling" to many protesters given the slow police response a night earlier.
