Thousands Protest Student Fee Hikes in Britain
----------------------------------------------



In Britain, tens of thousands of students flooded the streets of London
and other cities Thursday as lawmakers approved a new round of education
cuts and tuition hikes. The measures were part of a sweeping austerity
package unveiled in October. A group of protesters confronted a vehicle
carrying Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Parker Bowles,
reportedly smashing a window. The royal couple were unhurt.
