Thousands of protesters are defiantly continuing their vigil in central Cairo despite government efforts to defuse the political crisis.

Opposition leaders insist president Hosni Mubarak must step down immediately.

The government has promised reforms but says he should stay in office until September elections.

In the latest concessions, judicial officials promised to start questioning three former ministers and a senior ruling party official tomorrow on corruption charges.

A marketing manager from Google who was held is also expected to be released.
