A stream of students left the encampment after the warning, but hundreds remained inside, putting on helmets, masks and goggles as dozens of officers waited nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The night before, violent clashes erupted when a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/01\/us\/ucla-classes-protests.html?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">group of about 200 counterprotesters stormed the encampmen<\/a>t, pepper-spraying protesters and trying to demolish barricades.

Given the Conservative Party\u2019s dire poll numbers and the sour public mood, storm clouds are already forming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The question is not whether the Tories will lose seats to the Labour Party \u2014 that is a foregone conclusion among pollsters \u2014 but whether the losses will exceed expectations. A professor of politics at the London School of Economics suggested that if the Conservatives, who are defending 985 seats in England, can hold their losses to fewer than about 500 seats, the party faithful will probably accept the setback. But steeper losses, he said, could set off a spasm of panic and even put Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s job in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-9ycfei eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-48b7a02f\">Arizona repealed a 19th-century abortion ban<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/01\/us\/arizona-senate-house-abortion-ruling.html\" title=\"\">Arizona lawmakers narrowly reversed a ban on abortion<\/a> that became law a half-century before women could vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A bill to repeal the law passed in the Republican-controlled State Senate with the support of every Democratic senator and two Republicans.
