07h16: More from the BBC's Jon Leyne: He thinks that now that Mr Mubarak appears to have lost the military's support, it could be a matter of days or even hours before the Egyptian leader goes.
07h13: The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says the army's announcement that it won't use violence is a clear signal that it's no longer backing President Mubarak. The military will now be looking to rescue what power they have left, he says, and the big question is whether they will now help shepherd a real political transition.
07h10: One protester, Amr Gharbeia, tells the BBC World Service's World Today programme that 8,000-10,000 people stayed the night in Tahrir Sqaure - the epicentre of the protests. "In the square more tents are appearing, people are having more fun, people are trying to break away from the layers and layers of security around them," he says. "This is a completely reclaimed space and people are very celebratory. It's more or less like Woodstock."
06h58: There are already reports of people gathering in Cairo ahead of a massive march on the capital planned by protesters. This is the eighth day of mass demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak's regime.
