"nightly news" from cairo begins now. now. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> and good evening tonight from cairo in egypt where we found a safe spot to do our broadcast tonight and cobbled together a few ways to get the pictures and sound on the air, though it may be something less than our usual broadcast quality. it's such an important story entering day seven of what may turn out to be a genuine top-to-bottom change, people's revolution, and in the process may rewrite the contemporary history of this region. each day we say it, but it's true. this enters a new stage again tomorrow, and that's because of the promised size of what they're calling the million person march in cairo. we've seen so many television pictures of the main public square there. never quite empty as people flaunt the curfew. a lot of that is going on in the highly populated areas. people are more respectful of the curfew, staying off the roads as you get to the outskirts of town. and then there's the exodus out of here. thousands of peop

we'll take another break here in cairo. we'll return with one of the true dramas playing out during this eroding situation here in egypt today. >>> relief for a family call the up in a health care showdown. why their sick child was forced to stay in the hospital. >>> and the empire strikes back. leasheunew n technology setting up a tablet war. >>> finally here tonight, we heard from a viewer of ours today, contacted us because he said his mother is trapped in her apartment here and is in trouble. her name, mary thornberry. originally from ft. worth, texas. she moved here years ago to study ancient egyptian history. 76 years old. has an apartment on the square. normally terrific real estate, except when it's been turned over to the protests. mary told us when we called her by phone she knew she was in trouble when 12 men came to her apartment, broke the glass in her front door. >> when he broke the glass, he reached his hand in and was attempting to take the key out of my door so he could get in. i managed to get that and i

john lyon, "bbc news," cairo. >> our world correspondent john simpson is in cairo, and he spoke about how important the events are in egypt. >> i think it's difficult to overstate the importance of this, not actually just for the region, although clearly it's a profound importance to the middle east and beyond. but to the world at large. this i fully believe is the 21st century's equivalent of, for instance, the revolutions in eastern europe in 1989, an old system collapsing and being shown simply not to be relevant to the world any longer. what happened here is young people, this is the internet generation. it's grown up, and expecting to have freedom of thought and not -- simply not accepting it when that freedom of thought is being prevented by an old, outdated, outmoded government. i think that this has a real significance beyond this country. i think if i were the colonel of libya, or the president of syria, or ahmadinejad of iran, i don't think i would be sleeping very well tonight. and i think all this honking and hooting in the streets would be echoing in my dreams. >> our wor

there is fear in cairo. but mubarak is seen as damaged goods. his international reputation has dropped immeasurably in the last few days. if he resorts to further use of force against protesters, i think washington will have no other choice but to call for mubarak to step aside publicly. in the background, there is a fear that a too rapid transition in terms of a handover of political power in cairo will lead to perhaps undesirable consequences. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. the international community is watching developments in cairo very closely. israel is deeply worried about the prospect that mubarak could be forced to step down. a less friendly government could emerge. kevin connolly has been following developments in jerusalem. >> know where is the unfolding crisis in egypt watched more anxiously. nowhere is it commented on more sparingly than in neighboring israel. israeli policy toward this region, toured egypt, has been bound up for more than 30 years now with a peace treaty. israel has grown used to seeing mubarak as the

after what happened in cairo. and the united states has deep interests across the region. >> what about israel? do you think israel should be concerned about what's happening in egypt given the course of mubarak at least did hold that peace with egypt and israel. >> well, he did. and this is true. but it was also described as the cold peace by many israelis and there were many times when mubarak would also be critical of israeli behavior. certainly toward the palestinians. so we should not see a romancization of what the israeli view is of mubarak. mubarak was tough. many times. so israel should watch. they should be careful to see what happens next. but they should not have fear. this is a new day that does provide opportunities for new relationships. >> following events on the streets of cairo, has been watching the celebrations among the crowds near tahir square. >> the young soldiers are still standing. they're here at one of the many entrances to tahir square. but this place is now exploding.

cairo is growing more lawless. violent confrontations continue today, although it was kept away from tahrir square. groups like the muslim brotherhood are gaining ground, while the country remains in chaos. and the uprising is spreading panic to other u.s. allies in the region. perhaps for that reason alone, the revolt in egypt was embraced today by iran's ayatollah khamenei. it's an especially odd endorsement since iran depressed a pro-democracy movement in 2009. the iranian regime won that fight. egypt's future remains uncertain. president mubarak now may face a new rival. the popular secretary general of the arab league spoke in tahrir square today. he's someone to watch. and, brian, that crackdown on journalists we spoke about the other day is still continuing. al jazeera reported that its offices were ransacked by pro-mubarak supporters and an egyptian journalist who was shot last week has died. >> richard engle who along with our team on the ground remains in cairo. tough place to do business these days. rich

this so-called people's revolution in cairo was coming for some time.ts roots are in years of social discontent in egypt, including high unemployment and a whole lot of educated young people just out of college with zero prospect for a job. it was helped along by neighboring tunisia and it got a push from social media as we saw while we were there, and some of those who had put the word out are now a part of the story. we'll be looking closely at the roots of the rage of revolution in egypt, beginning tonight with ron allen in cairo. >> reporter: after 12 days of police detention, wael ghonim is a free man. i am fine, he said, and god willing we will change our country. the release of the 30-year-old google executive and online activist gave protesters another reason to celebrate. he first became a hero last june when he and others launched facebook pages condemning the death of a young man allegedly beaten to death by police. protests back then against á3d chronic unemployment, oppression and corruption led to the demonstrations now filling cairo's mai

lisa is in cairo. >> it is early in the morning in it cairo, 1:00 a.m. this is the start of what is the eighth -- the ninth day of rage. there is even greater rage. the day began with sell brages in tahrir square with protesters believing that victory was just around the corner. president mubarak was about to stand down and be pushed to heave power. but a few hours ago, president mubarak addressed his nation for the second time since this crisis began. he said as president, his first responsibility was to protect his people. he said he would not stand for re-election in september but for now he was staying in power. to insure an orderly transition. we have this report from our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. >> they want the president to go. in only his second speech since the protests started, mubarak said he would but not until the elections. >> i did not intend to run for another term. i spent enough of my life in the service of the people. he said in his last month as president, he would prepare for a smooth transfer of power. you could see by thei

this past wednesday, cairo's streets erupted. that mayhem is now over but not the menace, not completely. in the square, the battle- scarred are everywhere and looking over their shoulder at a new worry-- egypt's army. the security presence here wants these protests to end. today a senior commander urged the crowd to bring down their barricades and go home. he was shouted down. but on the edges of the square, there are new signs of the military's impatience. tanks closed this bridge leading to the protests. checkpoints became chokepoints with long lines to get in. it's a tightening circle and to many people here it feels like a noose. despite promises to the contrary, is the army about to clear the square? this is one of the battlefield where's the two street armies squared off. now, behind me, and behind all those people, the army has extended the no-man's-land. in case the thugs come back, the distance, they hope, will keep the two sides apart. president mubarak faces multiple crises. an economy collapsing, along with his regim

it's been a bloody day here in cairo. according to the egyptian health ministry, as of now, at least three people have been killed, more than 600 injured in today's violence. all of egypt is holding its breath wondering what will happen next. it rapidly became clear president mubarak's words had only inflamed the street. his supporters flooded the square. some rode in on horses and camels brandishing weapons and hurling rocks. ibrahim kamel, general secretariat of mubarak's administration, praised the new wave the protesters and dismissed the demonstrators demanding change. >> i'm sorry to say, that these few people that are standing in the square are not egypt or the egyptians. >> couric: who are they? >> they are part of a minority that is intent on dealing with egypt and the regime, a blow that i hope will never happen. >> couric: as we spoke... >> thanks.

what about the rest of cairo? if you range three, five, ten blocks away, what's going on in the rest of the city? >> well, the rest of the city has now... i mean, the police have now essentially voided the city to there isn't much of a police presence anywhere, though the police have returned somewhat, though not nearly to the levels they were at before. so really during the violence last friday, the most of it was centered in tahrir, the surrounding blocks around it and some isolated parts throughout the city. but now what we're seeing is a lack of law enforcement throughout the city and i was driving through cairo late last night, i was in the sinai peninsula coming back, and there were groups of youth throughout the city who had roadblocks just about every three blocks. so if you were to drive throughout downtown cairo, you'd be stopped just about every minute and a half. and someone would ask you to pop your trunk, they sked to see your identification and these are just kids carrying hand made weapons, pieces
