WATCH THE LIVE FEED: http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now

Al Jazeera: "Some people saying upwards of a million people." They compare their feed with Egypt's state television's feed. Al Jazeera reports that captions say 'Demonstrations to Support Stability:'

6. thanks
it's not working - maybe my computer's getting too old. i dunno. i watch every other video i want. bummed.

so it's so hard to keep up. i saw headlines stating that washington is now calling for mubarak to step down. on the bbc they were saying that he will "certainly" not step down any time soon.

i think with sufficient pressure from the USA he will step down. will there be sufficient pressure?

so hard to keep up. i just want everyone to stay safe and am hoping for a just resolution.

3. They were just talking about that while I was reading your post and I'm not sure exactly what
they said, but I think that the march to the palace has been rejected/cancelled.

5. maybe they should change things up. seems like mubarak is going to wait them out
by basically keeping them caged in tahrir square.

12. I'm not so sure about that ...
It works well for Fox News here. But then again maybe Egyptians are smarter than Fox News viewers...

18. AJ reported that the army had sealed the square overnight and was checking everyone for weapons
before letting them in. Seems like a big job given how many people have entered the square but, if true, it would show they are serious about keeping Mubarak's thugs away from the demonstrators.
