british deputy prime minister nikolai -- nick clegg upset with the with some ministers have criticized the coalition government. these were secretly recorded by a "daily telegraph" reporter posing as a constituent. brown speaks to tory allies in the european parliament. >> the remarks are not particularly damaging compared to some of the other comments we have seen. jeremy brown said he believes the tory instinct towards immigration, tory policy on immigration, has been driven by it and charitable instincts. some troubles within the european parliament were nothing, not surprising given the liberal democrats have very different views on both immigration and on europe. they are in a coalition together. but we learned tonight that prime minister nick clegg spoke with irritation at the indifference of some of his ministers and says they are concerned far too much about personality and battles within the coalition rather than the positive achievements of working together with the tories. it has to be said it is not good to make the business of working together any easier. >> scotland yard

the leader of the liberal democrats a lot of the chanting has been nick clegg shame on you for turning blue which is of course the color of the conservative party to say that's what's been going on today essentially those are the bad bones of the. demonstration peacefully before the bill was passed in the mold they know that it's winding down what are your thoughts on the events we saw today. it did start peacefully it started in quite a sort of jolie way everyone was ever was chanting and shouting and singing but then of course it's winter here in the u.k. and say darkness comes quite early and that's when sort of rounds around tough boss three four o'clock it starts to turn fairly nasty and it's interesting that a lot of the students who we've spoken to at previous protests really condemned and he still see a violent but it's been actually more difficult states today to find students here which condemn the violence and let's just say what some of them had to say following the vote which of course they were disappointed at the result let's hear what the students had to say. to our own

speaker, can the prime minister tell the house are there two nick cleggs? >> i have to say the honorable gentleman has the unique qualification of being one of the brothers who was selected on an all-women short list.

in the last couple of days it was reported that the head of the limited liberal democrat party nick clegg had managed to make old his ministers base in favor of the cuts but that turned out not to be the cases as some of them turned around in either abstain dole or indeed face against them what we've seen on the streets of london today has been extraordinary and is still going on the street that i'm standing on now is usually a hugely busy thoroughfare i'm on the embankment just very close to the river at westminster about three hundred meters behind me but this the whole of central london around westminster in the house of parliament has been closed off to traffic for practically the entire day there would usually be thrones of traffic on this right here in the middle of rush hour at the moment but as you see nothing some of these people that you can see passing by behind me oh normal commuters on their return home from work but some of them demonstrate is leaving that demonstration obviously disappointed to their voices essentially haven't been heard by the government but three hundred

turn by one of our political parties nick clegg and the lib dems but now they're going to try and triple it to nine thousand pound no one a year no wonder children young people out on the streets today coming back to europe because what we have is we have a situation which many people out of the may almost say part of the euro skeptic movement or right from the beginning said this will never work this political union car work and this fiscal union is doomed to failure we have a position here in the united kingdom for goodness sake where polish people because of freedom of movement can come true england so men come and work in the united kingdom and the country with their tax and everything else however then they can claim benefits for their children child benefit well you might say that's perfectly fair apart from of course our child benefit is a lot greater than in poland now wait for the big killer born on their speech or not only that they don't have to bring their children with them or even prove their core children back in warsaw in poland how way pay the child benefit for that chil

they're very angry with the coalition partner, nick clegg, of the liberal democrats because he promised never to support tuition hikes. in parliament, on the vote, 21 of his lawmakers voted against 8. the majority of his members did not vote with him. and in his defense, he said this is the only thing we could do. we lost the election. >> and they did pass the tuition hike. is there any sense that this government, this coalition government, could fall because of the protests, because of the budget cuts? >> not at this point. but what is really happening, and i think you've seen it across europe, as europe decides to address the deficit and the big debts by austerity, there's been protests all over the place. in france, greece, now in england. but not that the government is about to fall at the moment. but there's hundreds of thousands of public sector jobs that will be lost. hundreds of government programs are going to be cut back. so, this is what is shaping up in the future because a lot more cuts are to come. >> we're seeing a tale of two britains. all this excitement over the royal
