Cardiff students protest against fees

Cardiff students today joined a national protest against a rise in university fees and marched through the city.

Nearly 200 students from across south Wales rallied outside the main building of Cardiff University to voice their anger at the UK government's decision to charge students up to £9,000 a year to attend university as well as proposed cuts to higher education funds.

Although the students staged an unplanned march through Cardiff city centre, police said today's protests passed peacefully without incident.
