which left several wounded a spike in college costs and the harsh budget cuts come at a time when the u.k. is planning to send more money across the channel to fund the e.u. next year let's get reaction go live to brussels talk to david cameron vandeman who's a british member of the european parliament thanks for being with us tonight speciated compared to the rest of europe britain took a long time did need to begin protesting these cuts why do you think it took so long for the british to get vocal. so i think that the drama we've only been clear really in the last week of what's happening ritu ation fees is a huge to change and of course the lib dems are more liberal democrats who part of the coalition government promise to get rid of true ition fees altogether so they been caught lying affectively and that's created a lot of anger but there's no excuse for this kind of violence on the streets of london the e.u. doesn't really help itself though its budgets being wide open to regularities
12:11 pm
misspending isn't the last sixteen years yet british prime minister david cameron's agreeing down even more money over next year are his hands tied if so how much. asked today is the last day to actually agree the new budget for next year and it hasn't happened to my knowledge we're still waiting to hear but the point is you know what there should be no there's no reason for any increase in this budget two point nine percent which is what cameron is boasting about actually cost britain four hundred forty million pounds as a huge amount of money and it could be going towards true ition fees rather than you know as we see with the riots in london rather than the european union as you and as you correctly say the accounts of european union have not been signed off for sixteen years in a row now that's. mainly because of the amount of fraud in the system it's that bad how long could a situation like that go on the. world of afraid as long as you remember the

12:13 pm
a six percent increase which is outrageous really but to be honest this is not true it hasn't actually been agreed it's no it's called is only by the actual chief negotiator here the m.e.p. negotiating about half the parliament has called this two point nine percent claim as being designed this and the president of the european union says it's an opinion not a decision so i mean to be honest we don't know where we are at the budget could be far more than two point nine percent it could go up towards six percent in siri so we really are left in limbo here but there's no excuse for this kind of increase what about britain looking at those pictures just in of you shoulder of the disturbances yes no the students cause the cuts in britain go further than many other countries in europe how likely is it do you think the protests in the u.k. will reach the level that we've recently seen for instance in greece and france earlier this year. well i think unfortunately there are going to be probably a million more unemployed in the years time maybe more than that according to other figures one point six million i think the pressure is on you know these cuts are
