the millbank building was on the route of today's march and it was besieged.t the front, a small group of protesters was intent on fighting the police, but behind them, but her -- a crowd of thousands was refusing to move. this standoff has been going on for some time. they are on different floors. fire extinguishers are on different levels. at one point, this door was smashed down, while hundreds of protesters searched for other entrances. what got as far as the inner office 3 the rest occupied the lobby -- one got as far as the inner office. >> we are not going to put up with hot universities are being treated -- how universities are being treated. >> it started as a lunchtime march, speeches, students are doing rather than rampaging. the union's president is furious at at the scenes that unfolded. >> 50,000 students came to protest peacefully, but they are in jeopardy of being undermined by the violent actions of a minority. >> london's major added his voice. >> this city has a tradition of allowing people to protest peacefully. what is so disappointing is

that's the very latest from the protest at 30 millbank in downtown london, jon.is keep an eye on it for us, thank you. jenna: right now some riveting testimony as elizabeth smart returns to the witness stand reliving the nine months in hell with her accused kidnaper. chris gutierrez reporting live in salt lake city. kris you told us her testimony, at least one side of it is over now. >> reporter: yes we heard that the 15-minute cross-examination of elizabeth smart just wrapped up. they didn't really question the facts as smart has outlined over the course of the past two and a half days or so. they didn't really question whether or not mitchell is the man who in fact kidnapped elizabeth from her bedroom, they didn't question whether or not he did abuse her as smart has testified over the course of the past two days. instead they really spent their time asking questions as to whether or not she felt mitchell fully understood the consequences of his actions. remember, the defense team we're told is probably going to seek this not guilty by reason of insanity. inste
