It's make or break time for the Liberal Democrat le`der

Nick Clegg tonight, according to his party in Cambridge.

More than 100 members held an extraordinary meeting in the

past three hours to decide whether to support or try to oust hhm as

The party has been reeling since it lost power in Cambridge

It was a fantastic debate. We have members of the Liberal Democrats who

could express their opinions. It is rare that people get a chance to do

that. You don't see that at Labour or Conservative Party conferences.

The meeting tonight was org`nised three weeks ago.

These are the cheers that h`ve probably been haunting Liberal

The moment Labour ousted thdm from power and took over control

In the days that followed some openly called for Nick Clegg to

stand down, feeling their ldader had become more of a liabilhty.

He can be an eloquent advoc`te of causes, but he is so unpopular with

some people now that he acttally damages those causes.

The Lib Dems' performance in the European elections was even worse.

Their only MEP in the Eastern region lost his seat.

And some fear the Cambridge MP, a Liberal Democrat,

could also lose his seat next year if Nick Clegg remains party leader.

But does it affect the way people vote? They try and put a

good`looking sky they're hoping they will get votes. If you have a

rapport with the lead and then you are halfway there, aren't you?

It's just 24 hours until England's first World Cup match against Italy

an police forces in this region are drafting in extra officers.

It follows the violence that broke out in Bedford during the Etropean

In Wisbech in Cambridgeshird the local council has hired

Italian joy igniting English filings. It was sparked aftdr

victory for Italy in the European cup. But now they are asking for

calm in the town when the two teams face each other tomorrow. It is a

national game. Anyone want their country to win. It is big in Bedford

because there are semi`Italhans so many English. We are friends for the

rest of the year. `` so manx Italians. We have a major lhnk

between us and if we evict people for causing trouble or anything like

that, we informed the closest pub. The authorities say they ard not

expecting violence, but if ht does break out, they will break ht up.

The message is don't spoil ht for yourselves or others. If yot are

banned from one pub, you will be banned from all. There will be a

visible police presence when you are watching the game. Just act

responsibly. In Wisbech private security officers will be p`trolling

the streets. I do think we will have any trouble. The perception of crime

is high. We are making sure everyone can come out, enjoy what thdy are

doing and enjoy the games and enjoy going out for a drink as well.

Football violence has been described as the ugly side of the beattiful

game. It is hoped that our towns and cities won't see it a game.
