"We are witnessing history unfold," he says, praising young people who have been at the forefront. He pledges that the United States will do everything it can to help an orderly transition to democracy. 1820 GMT: Obama to speak soon on Egypt crisis, White House says 1818 GMT: Markets moving on Egypt news; oil is up, Israeli stock market down: Wall Street Journal tweet 1816 GMT: Mubarak held talks with Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, state television says 1805 GMT: Police are pulling back from Tahrir Square "to prepare for any scenario" when and if Mubarak speaks: NBC tweet 1800 GMT: Crowds chanting on Tahrir Square, "The people have brought down the regime!. The people and the army will complete the journey!" 1751 GMT: "I'm here because I don't want to miss this moment, the moment he leaves," 29-year-old Alia Mossallam tells AFP. "I don't want to miss being here. We've done so much to reclaim this space. I'm so excited. I think this moment will change us." 1749 GMT: AFP photographers perched on a balcony overlooking the square estimate that at least 200,000 people have gathered there to await news, and streets leading to the area are packed with flag-waving merrymakers. 1746 GMT: Finance Minister Radwan tells Sky he favours a democratic Egypt but "the opposition parties are weak. They have little popular base. Their challenge is to strengthen them. They should not sound like a stuck record. They must say what their programme is." 1743 GMT: "These men and women have blown the whistle. They have served a wake up call. We have ignored them for too long," Radwan adds. 1739 GMT: Radwan tells Sky: "Mubarak has ensured stabiity in a very volatile region. Egypt is too important to sacrifice." 1736 GMT: Radwan says the army "has taken things in hand because the economy has been losing quite a bit." 1733 GMT: Egypt Finance Minister Samir Radwan tells Sky TV that Mubarak may go, saying: "He is fed up" but he will not leave the country. 1730 GMT: President Barack Obama is monitoring breaking news updates in the Egyptian capital on television on his official Air Force One aircraft as he flies to Michigan. 1727 GMT: President Barack Obama's spokesman Robert Gibbs says: "We are watching a very fluid situation. The president is watching the same thing you are." Gibbs added he did not want to prejudge events which may take place in Egypt later. 1724 GMT: State television says: "President Hosni Mubarak is holding talks now with his deputy Omar Suleiman at the presidency in Heliopolis." The report shows footage of the two together in conversation, though it is not clear when it was recorded. 1722 GMT: Egypt's most famous cyber activist, Google marketing executive Wael Ghonim, appears convinced that Mubarak has fallen, telling his followers: "Mission Accomplished." 1719 GMT: AFP photographer Marco Longari reports live from Tahrir Square: "I am sitting in a coffee shop on the square packed with Egyptians from all walks of life, smoking shisha. There is tension, people try to unwind waiting for the speech tonight from the President. People don't speak of anything else. What will the president announce? And then what?" 1715 GMT: State TV says Mubarak is currently in talks with his deputy. 1710 GMT: Egyptian television interrupts all programming to present footage of a panel of senior military officers, one of whom reads out a statement saying: "In support of the legitimate demands of the people," the army "will continue meeting... to examine measures to be taken to protect the nation." 1705 GMT: The NDP's Badrawi says: "The right action in my opinion is to send a letter for constitutional amendments, to step aside and give the power to the vice president and to ask for early elections when the amendment is approved." "I don't think (Mubarak) he will leave the country. He is a military hero, he has lots of good things that have been done, lots of mistakes too," Badrawi adds. 1703 GMT: Mubarak should step aside, the secretary general of his ruling party tells the BBC. "I expect the president to respond to the demands of the people, because what matters to him in the end is the stability of the country. The post is not important to him," Hossam Badrawi of the National Democratic Party said. 1700 GMT: Sky Television says its sources report Mubarak is in his office talking to the vice-president and will address the nation within two hours. 1658 GMT: On the bridge over the River Nile carloads of revellers converge on Tahrir Square, waving flags and honking their horns. 1656 GMT: Pro-democracy cyber activist Wael Ghonim, a hero to the anti-regime movement after he was jailed and held blindfolded for 12 days for helping to organise the first protest last month, warns his followers to be cautious. "Guys, don't do much speculation for now, just wait and see," he posts on his popular Twitter feed. "Long live Egypt!" 1653 GMT: A buzz sweeps through the thousands-strong crowd occupying Cairo's central Tahrir Square as anti-regime protesters hear rumours that Mubarak might quit power. 1649 GMT: Panetta says that if Mubarak steps down, he will likely hand over power to his vice president, Omar Suleiman. 1645 GMT: In Washington, CIA Director Leon Panetta tells lawmakers there is a "strong likelihood" that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will step down later today. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is to address the nation from his presidential palace in Cairo tonight, state television said, after the military announced it was acting to "protect the nation."
