Guardian Live Blog: Egyptian state TV is changing its tune and people streaming into Tahrir Square

Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 02:07 PM by snagglepuss

According Guardian live blog "Egypt state TV running now on 'Egypt is Changing'. Total about face and best pointer yet to the end of Mubarak"

I've just been on the phone to Jack Shenker in Tahrir Square, Cairo. He said that in contrast to previous days when people have ebbed away from the square in the evening, tonight people are "streaming in". There is triumph and celebration, but also uncertainty as rumours swirl around the square. But if Mubarak stands down, there will be the "greatest street party in Africa and the Middle East" in Cairo tomorrow.
