Edinburgh Napier cuts graduation livestream after Gaza protest
The incident took place at an Edinburgh Napier University graduation ceremony in the city's Usher Hall on Wednesday morning. In the livestream recording, which is available on YouTube, student Liam Thorpe can be seen unveiling a keffiyeh on stage and turning towards the audience, where he places a finger on his lips. (Image: YouTube) As he approaches the edge of the stage, the livestream then transitions to a zoomed in camera angle and he no longer is in the shot. Thorpe can occasionally be seen entering the frame as he begins to shout at the audience, although it is not entirely clear from the livestream recording what he is saying. READ MORE: Kneecap 'banned' from advertising on London Tube for likely causing 'serious offence' It is understood that he was speaking about Gaza, and at one point he can be heard saying "Free Palestine". Other students can be heard clapping and cheering in support. The feed is then promptly replaced with an overlay screen which reads "Graduation 2025". (Image: YouTube) It then cuts to the next student being called, with the camera shot returning to the original angle. The incident was subsequently referred to in a speech by the university's chancellor, Will Whitehorn, shortly before the end of the ceremony.

(Image: YouTube) "And it would be dishonest of me not to acknowledge the situation we see in the world today. "Some of you may be worried - certainly one of you is worried." Whitehorn pointed towards the economy, the "tragedies happening in Ukraine and the Middle East", as well as the climate crisis. "History has a habit of repeating itself, but like then, the key thing is that we learn from it," he added.

A spokesperson for Edinburgh Napier University said: 'Out of consideration for all graduands and guests, it is standard protocol for graduation ceremony live footage to pause during any on-stage disruption. 'This happened briefly during Wednesday morning's ceremony, affecting the screens in the hall and subsequent video upload. The audio was unaffected. 'Support was provided to the student involved following their graduation.'

Lady Vols basketball players reflect on March Madness run: 'We did something special'
Lady Vols basketball players reflect on March Madness run: 'We did something special' Show Caption Hide Caption You don't need a NCAA championship to excel, according to Lisa Leslie A former USC Trojan, Lisa Leslie never won a NCAA tournament championship herself, and believes players don't need it to be great in the WNBA. Sports Seriously BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The No. 5 Tennessee women's basketball team rode its 'hockey substitution' playing style to a near upset of No. 1 seed Texas in the Sweet 16 on Saturday 'Right now it's just Year 1 playing this style of basketball,' said junior guard Ruby Whitehorn, who led the Lady Volunteers with 16 points in the 67-59 loss. 'I feel like we showed the world how great it can be.' Whitehorn joined Tennessee from the transfer portal after spending two years at Miami. The collective buy-in from Whitehorn and her teammates is what made their system so successful in their first season under new coach Kim Caldwell. 'It's so much easier for the players that have done it once to do it again,' Caldwell said. 'Everyone's second year is usually their better year. People always ask, 'Well, how long does it take to figure it out?' Sometimes it takes a year.' But just because the players bought in doesn't mean the process was always fun. During the season, the Lady Volunteers ran about five miles each practice. In the offseason, they had grueling conditioning sessions that consisted of running hills and pushing weights. Every single day, whether it was a practice or conditioning session, felt like a game. Tennessee's players treated it as such. 'I just remember the first time we all had conditioning, like our very first summer workout, all of us were on the ground,' Whitehorn said. 'Like passed out, about to die because we couldn't breathe.' Against Texas, Caldwell's team employed a full-court press for all 40 minutes, substituted five brand new players nearly every dead ball and put up plenty of 3-pointers. Ten Lady Vols played at least 14 minutes against Texas. As a team, they attempted 26 3-pointers. Texas coach Vic Schaefer called Tennessee's play style a 'storyline' before the game and said his players probably wouldn't like it. 'Quite frankly, I've got some competitors on my team,' Shafer said in a radio interview. 'If I was yanking them out of the game, they'd be ticked off at me. They like to play.' Why Kim Caldwell put signs on court ahead Lady Vols' Sweet 16 matchup with Texas Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell explains why she put rebounding signs up around the court ahead of Tennessee's Sweet 16 matchup with Texas. The Lady Vols, trying to advance to their first Elite Eight since 2016, stuck with their gameplan against the Longhorns and kept the game close until the last minute. This was Caldwell's first season coaching at a Power 4 school. Tennessee hired her last April after she led the 2023-24 Marshall team to a 26-7 season and an NCAA Tournament appearance. She took over one of the most storied programs in college basketball. Led by Hall of Fame head coach Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols won eight national titles from 1987-2008. Caldwell understands the high expectations and year-to-year championship aspirations of the program, regardless of how it gets done. 'We did something special, and I really think we put Tennessee back on the map,' senior guard Samara Spencer said. Wesley Branch is a student in the University of Georgia's Sports Media Certificate program.
