--- 8:00pm Khalid Abo al Nagga, an Egyptian actor and pro-democracy activist, spoke to Ayman Mohyeldin in Tahrir Square.


I decided to be part of this years ago when young Egyptian in twitter said that they can't live like this, they [Mubarak regime] are trying to hijack the country.

They cut the phone, and all form of communication so we don't get images out, what kind of government is this? They can't hijack 85 million voices, it is time for them to step down, this is what everyone want.

The regime needs to step down, they should go to court for all the killings. the whole regime needs to go to court for what they did to the peaceful demonstrators. From now on Egypt will never be the same.


7:40pm Reports that the tone of Egyptian TV is changing - said to sound more sympathetic to protests and has sent reporters to Tahrir Square. It is reporting "large peaceful protests, tidy protest and pro-Egypt protests".
