>> breaking news we're following out of new york city police officers from nypd have begun moving in on protesters have been occupying part of columbia university. they have taken over hamilton hall, which is an administration building there. and they say they will not leave until their demands have been met. campus officials have called

for and why pd to move in after giving them time to voluntarily leave the premises of the building. the protesters say they're not doing that. and that's why police are now getting ready to move in. it could be a long a long night in manhattan. protesters had defied >> the school and had entered that building. breaking glass windows and had taken it over there, taking removing furniture and the mayor had given them an ultimatum and they did not meet the mayor has called nypd and there they are. i'm going into the building ostensibly to remove the demonstrators. they were told to take down the tents that are in the middle of the campus. >> and students didn't do that. so yesterday authorities started taking away tense and then the protesters put more

tense up. in the meantime, a lot of the students were told that if they didn't leave and and leave the protest site and bring the tents down, they'd be suspended from class until june. and those students who didn't follow that and most of them did not have been suspended. many of the students have been suspended. now the university saying they'll be expelled if they don't leave the site here after being told that time's up, the protest is over and now a number of students there are also felt facing expulsion. and as you know, what is happening at columbia has been repeated college campuses across the country and here in the bay area. and cal poly humboldt state a million dollars worth of vandalism damage thereafter. protests are about 25 students at cal poly were arrested and what's going on here in colombia may be the most defiance or most high profile certainly act here right in manhattan. it's a prestigious

university and they have taken over hamilton hall, which was taken over back in the 1960's during the vietnam war protests. right? there is some talk about replicating that situation. obviously the causes are very different. but these a pro-palestine protest, they they are continuing a all across that the united states and there. >> and they're these with with the protesters are demanding a cease-fire in gaza also asking or demanding that the divest if there is any kind of military involvement. new york city mayor eric adams says told the students said to carry on their protests another way. >> but not to keep doing what they're doing at columbia university. so we're waiting to see how this plays out. no doubt this will be a long night. it is a 9, 30 at night in new york city and there are dozens and dozens of protesters inside the building. so getting them out

if they don't want to come out, could take some time. and we don't know if there's going to be any kind resistance, physical resistance by them to being taken out of that building. so it could turn ugly depending on how things play out. so we're going to keep an eye on this throughout the evening. of course, we'll have much more online at kron 4 dot com and tonight at 10 o'clock on the kron, 4 news. >> well, 4 is your local election headquarters recount and that highly contentious race for silicon valley's 16th. congressional race is effectively half over. that means santa clara county has finish. it's part of the recount. county officials say that they're going to announce their results tomorrow. our first catherine heenan is in the newsroom to break it all down for us. catherine? yeah, as you know, this is recount following. >> the astonishing primary tied between santa clara county supervisor joe, some indian and assemblymember evan low. and the question of who will join sam liccardo on the

november ballot. no final answer yet. as to who came out ahead. but after 2 weeks of counting, at least the end is in sight. >> santa clara county voting officials say their recount shows evan low picked up 11 additional votes. joe, some indian gained 7 so low lead summit, ian, by 4 votes in santa clara county. but that does not answer the question of whether low one san mateo county still has more than a dozen challenge. ballots and official there told me today they have finished counting them but won't announce the results until wednesday after campaign attorneys and others get a chance to review the numbers. meantime, sam liccardo published an opinion piece today and which he again rejects claims that he's behind the recount because a former staffer named jonathan padilla requested it. he says the fact that padilla is a supporter of mine is not

remarkable. every independent expenditure committee in history has been created by a candidate supporter. i think the cargo is doing the smart thing, which is. >> he's trying to get ahead of whatever the results are because someone is going to win. that one is going to lose and where it's going to lose main all probability trained, blame liccardo the fact and senator 3 person race, it's a 2 person race. michael yaki also agrees with la carte was called for. >> automatic recounts in a close election which may have lessened the political drama. >> because you want to kind of get the politics out of this and just getting into that. the issue of voter integrity and every vote counts. i would hope that the california legislature after this would mandate as a as a requirement in the california electoral process that automatic recounts be available in united states house of representative races in the case of a tie as or as it was here. >> if california does

eventually mandate automatic recounts, some state or federal races, that would also mean a candidate or candidates supporters would not have to come up with the cash to make that happen. this recount began april 15th. again, we might finally have a result tomorrow. can. all right. thank you, katherine. san francisco supervisor joel and guardiola wants to raise awareness about hepatitis b. >> he's introduced a resolution to call the month of may hepatitis awareness month in san francisco, he says there's a dire need to address the rising rate of hepatitis b. also wants the state public health department to expand services to treat people and expand awareness. he says the api community is particularly at risk for contracting hepatitis b and c. only 6%. >> of the u.s. population is a a p i but that 6% accounts for 58% of americans living with hepatitis b, san francisco has one of the largest api populations in the nation

which makes hepatitis b awareness and essential local issue. >> estimated one in 12 americans has hepatitis b and the majority don't even know they have it. >> the head of california's oil watchdog division is out with some new data. he believes shows oil companies are raking in profits. while you and i feel the pain at the pump. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace gives us a closer look at the numbers and has reaction from the oil industry. >> there's an urgent need to protect california consumers from price down. that's the message from time. milder director of the state's brand new oil watchdog agency known as the division of petroleum market oversight. since its creation last summer. the division has been collecting data from the oil industry and working with the california energy commission to determine whether or not to annex some sort of penalty on oil companies if they are found to be taking part in price gouging. we are working to

provide active oversight and to make sure that the market it's setting the prices that these are fair prices. milder says, well, it's too early in the data collection process to conclude whether price gouging is taking place. he says he does have some early concerns. californians have been paying too much at the pump for too long as of today, the state average cost of regular unleaded gas is five-dollars $0.39 per gallon. milder note over the last month between late march in late april, gas prices on average, increased by $0.44 in the state. but he says that the same time the price of crude oil in the market increased by just $0.3 while the industry margin, which is how much is made per gallon went up by $0.41 his conclusion. the recent price spikes realls profits. thanks for industry. looking at the data, we're seeing some clear fronts. >> when prices at the pump went up over the last month. that was because the oil industry profits will but those in the oil industry say

it's not as the scenes. the date is there. price gouging is not happening. 7 slagle is with the western states petroleum association representing oil industry stakeholders over the past month. >> there's a number of refineries that were off line maintenance. and when you refineries down, supplies shrink you know, any commodity when you have less supply the needed, the costs. >> you know, typically will go up. and that's probably a lot. what we saw his position is that the state should invest in more oil production to drive down costs the city, california has been the last couple years implementing policy after policy that's meant in production in but in the end, what consumers care about, they care about higher costs and that is the path our state on and to the state conclude price gouging is taking place. the california energy commission would still need to determine what if any penalty. >> would be imposed reporting at the state capitol. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. today's deadline for college students to qualify for a federal loan forgiveness, students who are
