dilemma, on with one hand to push forward for reforms, on the other hand not wanting a videocassette qume created if -- wanting a vacuum created if mube bark's government was to go. he wants better spans of human rights, allowing people on the streets, switching the internet back on, but at the same time still saying he'll work with hosni mubarak's regime jet stream. >> so essentially president obama is giving president mubarak more time? >> yes, i think over the coming days, the white house will be watching closely on how these reforms are implemented. what shape the new government takes, whether there is restraint shown on the streets toward protesters, but the key question is how protesters react tomorrow in jifment. will we see them back on the streets after that address by hosni mubarak or will we see a sort of calming down? and obviously the white house's position will sort of reflect that. >> our washington correspondent streaking -- speaking to me earlier. so president mubarak is speaking his biggest ever challenge. protesters have been flouting a nighttime -- nighttime occur few.
