<p>Around 180 British tourists are flying home from Egypt on a plane chartered by the Foreign Office to help UK nationals flee the capital Cairo, amid escalating violence between opponents and supporters of President Hosni Mubarak.</p>
<p>Prime Minister David Cameron joined other European leaders to step up pressure on Mubarak to give up the reins of power after 30 years.</p>
<p>But foreign interference in Egyptian affairs was rejected by Vice President Omar Suleiman, who said: &#8220;Intervention in our internal affairs is strange, unacceptable and we will not allow it.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a lengthy interview on state television, Mr Suleiman said the authorities were ready to talk with anti-government protesters, including activists of the proscribed Muslim Brotherhood, and accepted some of those involved in the demonstrations of the past week had voiced &#8220;legitimate, acceptable demands&#8221;.</p>
<p>But he also claimed there had been a conspiracy to destabilise Egypt and said those responsible for violence in Tahrir Square, the focal point of demonstrations, would be punished.</p>
<p>At least eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in clashes in and around the Square, where pro-government attackers opened fire on protesters early on Thursday.</p>
<p>A Government-chartered plane to bring UK nationals home from Egypt left Cairo Airport around 5.15pm (British time) and was due to arrive back at Gatwick around 10.30pm.</p>
