On a day of national protest by students over tuition fees, Victoria joins a sit-in by students at SOAS, part of the University of London.

Victoria Derbyshire joins students at a sit-in at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies, to discuss a day of national protest over plans to raise tuition fees in England.

She is joined by Michael Chessum, the co-founder of the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, Liberal Democrat MP for Solihull Lorely Burt, Conservative MP for Peterborough Stewart Jackson, academics John Clarke and Andrew Oswald who want fees to be raised, students from across the country who oppose the rise, and others who sympathise with the Government's position.

There's also breaking news: 18 year old student Edward Woollard admits throwing a fire extinguisher from the roof of Conservative HQ in Millbank, during the student protests earlier this month.

Also on the programme, Victoria speaks to two excited England fans who'll be staying up all night for the first Ashes test at the Gabba in Brisbane, as England look for their first series victory in Australia for 24 years. Are you feeling optimistic? Are you planning an all-nighter? We'll have live commentary from the Test Match Special team on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 live sports extra, every night.
