<p>Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak will speak to the nation and meet protesters&#8217; demands, military and ruling party officials have said.</p>
<p>Protesters have insisted that he step down immediately.</p>
<p>Military officials said the armed forces&#8217; supreme council met on Thursday and would issue a statement that they claimed would meet the demands of the protesters. </p>
<p>The ruling party chief, Hossan Badrawi, told the Associated Press he expected Mr Mubarak to address the nation and make an announcement that would satisfy their demands.</p>
<p>The military&#8217;s supreme council announced on state TV its &#8220;support of the legitimate demands of the people.&#8221; </p>
<p>A spokesman said the council was in permanent session to explore &#8220;what measures and arrangements could be made to safeguard the nation, its achievements and the ambitions of its great people&#8221;.</p>
<p>General Hassan al-Roueini, military commander for the Cairo area, told thousands of protesters in central Tahrir Square, &#8220;All your demands will be met today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a formal corruption investigation has been launched against three former Egyptian government ministers and a former ruling party leader.</p>
<p>State television said the investigation was targeting former commerce minister Rachid Mohammed Rachid, former tourism minister Zuhair Garana, and former housing minister Ahmed Maghrabi.</p>
<p>Ahmed Ezz, a steel tycoon and former senior figure in the ruling party, is also under investigation. Mr Ezz, an MP, is a close confidant of President Hosni Mubarak&#8217;s son Gamal.</p>
