<p>David Cameron has discussed the crisis in Egypt with US president Barack Obama after a flight carrying Britons fleeing the stricken country touched down in the UK.</p>
<p>The Foreign Office chartered-flight arrived at Gatwick Airport at around 9pm on Saturday, with around 70 ex-pats and tourists on board.</p>
<p>As the Britons fled the country, Mr Cameron and Mr Obama spoke on the telephone to reaffirm their desire for the transition to a &#8220;broad-based&#8221; government to begin immediately.</p>
<p>A Downing St spokesman said: &#8220;They agreed that it was vital that the Egyptian government respond to the aspirations of the Egyptian people through reform not repression. Violence was unacceptable.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Prime Minister welcomed the restraint shown by the army in policing the most recent protests.</p>
<p>&#8220;The leaders agreed that it was for the Egyptian people to determine the leadership of their country. But they were clear that an orderly transition to a broad-based government, with real, visible and meaningful change needed to start now.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Prime Minister said that a clear and credible roadmap to change was needed as soon as possible, including a path to free and fair elections.</p>
<p>&#8220;They agreed to keep in close touch in the coming days.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier, in an apparent change of tone, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton warned that without orderly change, extremists could derail the transfer of power.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;It&#8217;s important to support the transition process announced by the Egyptian government actually headed by now-vice president Omar Suleiman.&#8221;</p>
