:02:04. > :02:09.her pushchair as the van hit her mother. Both survived. It is like I
:02:09. > :02:13.haven't slept. It goes through my mind that they were both dead. It
:02:13. > :02:18.was just really shocking. With at least five separate crime scenes,

:03:55. > :03:59.people. There is quite a party atmosphere, as you can hear, but
:03:59. > :04:04.the message from these people is serious, and that is that the cuts
:04:04. > :04:07.are too harsh. That is what I am hearing most. I had spoken to
:04:07. > :04:12.people who have come here from all over the country, many of them
:04:12. > :04:16.families with young children. Some have taken part in process --
:04:16. > :04:19.protests like these before but others say it is their first day
:04:19. > :04:23.and they are here because they are being affected by the cuts and they
:04:23. > :04:26.want to send a message to the Government. That is why they have
:04:26. > :04:34.joined this March. They are going to make their way to Hyde Park
:04:34. > :04:40.where there will be a rally this afternoon. And they will make the
:04:40. > :04:46.Labour Leader Ed Miliband. He told the TUC today that the Government's

:05:01. > :05:04.chairman, has said you cannot be clear about attending a march which
:05:05. > :05:08.calls for an end to the austerity. Labour has accused David Cameron of
:05:08. > :05:10.being weak for not sacking Andrew Mitchell sooner. The chief whip
:05:10. > :05:13.stepped down last night, saying the row over his confrontation with
:05:13. > :05:17.Downing Street police last month had made it impossible for him to
:05:17. > :05:22.fulfil his duties. But he admitted swearing at an officer. He's been
:05:22. > :05:25.replaced by the former Leader of the House, Sir George Young.

:05:29. > :05:32.of El Alamein. The fighting between the Allies and the Germans and
