if mubarak leaves you don t think the muslim brotherhood would take over? we re not going to allow them. tomorrow a massive protest has been called, the pressure keeps building. the protesters hope something soon has got to give. some of the people on the scenes we saw today in liberation square. as we said, it s just four hours until this massive protest is planned. i m joined now by ben wedeman and nic robertson. what are you anticipating is going to happen today? the job of anticipating has become very risky here, because this whole protest movement has just sort of popped up in the last week, so it s very difficult to say. but we know that people are walking to cairo from the nile delta. we know that despite the fact the government has cut the internet, you can t send sms s, blackberries don t work. and within moments we expect the cell phone system to go down.
we re live in cairo where it is 5:00 a.m. on the eighth day of the uprising in cairo. what this day holds nobody can tell. this may be a make or break day for the mubarak regime. they re calling it a million man march. that is scheduled to start in some four hours from now. how many people will show up? we don t know. what will happen, we simply can t tell. the mubarak regime is simply trying to make it as difficult as possible for the protesters to gather, shutting down the train service and the last isp has been shut down. we anticipate cell phone service will be cut momentarily. the egyptian military has promised not to harm protesters, as we saw today in liberation square, this situation can turn violent very, very quickly.
