in this is going to have a dramatic effect on those on both lower middle incomes in mr clegg is meant and meant to be a leader of a party that stands up for fairness given these huge huge cuts to public services they're really going to hurt people in this country should not be proud but looking at the opinion polls it seems that there's been quite a positive response from the public are on his austerity measures on the coalition's austerity measures how do you are argue with that. well he went into the election promise not promising that he would ensure their immediate cuts weren't made to public spending he also went into the election. campaigning against the conservatives plans rise in value added tax he went into the election promising to scrap triton if he got into government and on all of those things he's broke his promises so when they really start hurting when the cuts really start hurting you know when people start seeing their hospitals closing when people start seeing their schools closing and all the rest of it then i think we'll have on our hands a deep unpopular governor

the coalition, nick clegg, it is a little early to say. they have taken a different line on the economy. they have decided to pay back debt instead of stimulating the economy. tavis: was that the right decision? >> i think it was the wrong decision. tavis: we are having that debate now. >> i guess it was the wrong decision, but we will find out. tavis: what is your sense of, and i am asking you specifically be good your wife was there and was a part of it, how will history regard the tony blair years? >> well, i feel, my big thing, my the enthusiasm during that period, it was the teaching of reading in schools, because before the election, there was the labor party task force -- labour party task force. that has been a huge success in our country, the teaching of reading. it has been transformed. i said this before the election. there is nothing more important, because that is the next generation's ability to do everything they need to do. so i was very keen on that, and that has been a triumph. some of the things did not turn out so well.

. >> reporter: amidst growing criticism from supporters, nick clegg maintains the importance of remaining in the coalition for a full five years. a crucial test will be if he can successfully introduce electoral reform, a key liberal democrat policy. if he cannot, supporters will further question if venturing into the coalition has benefited them in any way. >> even though we are different parties with different ideas and different policies, we've managed to create a set of agreements on what we want to do. i hope people will accept that we're doing this not because we want to but because we have to. >> reporter: by agreeing to enter into coalition with the conservatives, the liberal democrats help to end 65 years of two-party rule in the uk. now the party's challenge is to make compromises as part of that coalition plus maintaining its own identity and introducing the policies its supporters expe s . andy foord, nhk, london. >>> japan and china have agreed to hold a symposium at the nation's largest trade fair in gaungjo and eradication of pirated products. representatives announced the

does anyone plausibly contend that the cut and thrust of debate between messrs brown, cameron and cleggsuffered as a consequence? did anybody at home feel short- changed by the absence of cat- calling? what is worse is that, as i hope to illustrate in the next few minutes, prime minister's questions was never intended to have the character which it has since developed. when it was introduced in 1961, as i will outline, it had three distinctive features: questions were directly related to those areas in which the prime minister had personal responsibility rather than treating him as if a president in sole control of the entire british government. questions and answers were short and snappy and dominated by backbenchers. the exercise occurred in an atmosphere of comparative cordiality. a little history courtesy of the wonderful house of commons library service is instructive. before the 1880s, questions to the prime minister were dealt with no differently from questions to other ministers. they were asked, without notice, on days on which ministers were available (invariably monday, tuesd
