Thousands of UK students protest tuition fees hike
Tens of thousands of students marched noisily through London on Wednesday to oppose plans to triple university tuition fees, in the largest street protest yet against the government's sweeping austerity measures.
Organizers said 50,000 students, lecturers and supporters were demonstrating against plans to raise the cost of studying at a university to 9,000 pounds ($14,000) a year, which is three times the current rate. (Reuters)
