Egypt's March of a Million
After days of protests on the streets of Cairo, there is increasing pressure for the resignation of the country's President, Hosni Mubarak.
The protests have been both peaceful and violent, but in the biggest yet, protestors have coordinated a "March of a Million" in both Cairo and Alexandria. More than 100,000 people have filled Cairo's main square to join in what many are seeing as the culmination of the past week of protests.
