Inshallah.

Al Jazeera: Tens of thousands of protesters surround Egypt State TV building in Cairo preventing employees from leaving or entering

--------
so they are under siege one could say

let's hope they have lot of snack machines

question on China: They are blocking as much web traffic as possible that mentions Egypt to stop people seeing what is happening and completely trying to ignore it now as best as they can in their domestic press.

Their international press makes brief mention, but that is not seen domestically.

Seems that it is an obvious sign of worry

That's another hurry up and wait message LOL

Al Arabiya TV says it does not know whether Sharm El Sheikh is final destination of Mubarak & his family

Fog of war.

China fears the outbreak of democracy, more that anything else. The idea of the Egyptians inspiring an uprising in China, terrifies them.

Like rats abandoning a sinking ship.

talk that the pres guard might try and create a secure area around the palace and push the protesters much further back for a cordon sanitaire

Good luck with that they are gonna need it...Morning/Afternoon all BTW. So far very little in market reaction here in US most futures point to a slightly lower opening but we all know how it can turn at the drop of a hat. Oil definetely ticking up though

Morning all.
