EGYPT NEWS FEB.1 - MILLION MARCH - LINKS &TWIT PICKS -NR. 5

Egyptians gather in Cairo's Tahrir Square
"People are still streaming in from every possible entry point. They want the world to see that this is their moment," Jack reports.
He just spoke to a man whose son was killed last week. "After burying his son, he has been here ever since," Jack says. "He says he will march to the presidential palace and if he sees Mubarak he will take him himself."
Later in the clip protester Hossam Hamalawy tells me that Mubarak will definitely fall.
"I would say at least a quarter of million have already assembled," he says. "We are protesting in order to push Mubarak to leave this country. It is not just Muburak we want a new regime. I have no doubt that he will fall, it is a question of time." http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2011/feb/01/egypt-protests-live-updates
