Canadian journalist Nahlah Ayed is tweeting that the crowd in Tahrir Square keeps getting bigger. She says "So many children."

More conflicting reports as to whether Mubarak will step down. CNN is quoting a senior Egyptian official who says Mubarak will step down. We should know for sure soon because Mubarak is expected to speak shortly.

Suleiman says he is committed to doing everything he can to ensure a peaceful transfer of power in Egypt.

More reactions to Mubarak’s speech, compiled by our colleagues on the London World Desk:

Alanoud Al Sharek, a senior fellow in regional politics at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, says “"He doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of what is happening in Egypt. At this point I don't think it will suffice. He still seems to think he is the top patriarch and custodian of the Egyptian people. He doesn't realise that there is a genuine act of resistance taking place. He has performed quite a sleight of hand. He has transferred authority to Omar Suleiman while somehow retaining his position as ruler.”

Mohamed El-Erian, co-chief investment officer at Pacific Investment Management Co., said: "Given the intense disappointment with the speech in Egypt, the country has entered this evening an ominous period of extreme tension and danger that can only be resolved by credible regime change that the majority of Egyptians can buy into"

Bill O’Grady, chief investment strategist at Confluence Investment Management, says: "The younger military really want to see this guy go and they are allied with the protesters. The older military don't want to give up power just yet and want to play a role in the orderly transition of power. This is playing out a lot like the situation with Anwar Sadat.”

CNN’s Ben Wedeman reports on Twitter that crowds have started surrounding the state TV headquarters in Cairo.

France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy weighs in on the events in Egypt, saying change in Egypt is unavoidable and that he hopes for democracy there.

More expert reaction to Mubarak’s speech, compiled by our world desk in London:

Stephen Grand, Middle East expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington:

“It was quite surreal. He's a stubborn old man who refused to see the writing on the wall. I happen to believe the demonstrations will continue, people will continue to push for his ouster and eventually will succeed.”

Robert Springborg, professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School:

“The speeches tonight are not intended to bring an end to the crisis in a peaceful way but to inflame the situation so there is justification for the imposition of direct military rule. They are risking not only the coherence of the military but even indeed, and I use this term with advisement here, civil war."

“I think it needs to be made perfectly clear (by outside powers) that Mubarak and his regime are forfeiting Egypt's future. Egypt is in an economic crisis. It is going to have to be bailed out and the short answer to what they are doing now is that it will not be bailed out with anything like a military regime in place that is associated with Mubarak, Omar Suleiman and these people who are part of this regime.”

Anthony Cordesman, Center for Strategic and International Studies:

“The truth is that even the senior military now at the top of the power structure under Mubarak almost certainly have no clear idea of what happens next, and it will be days before anyone know how well the transition will function, who goes and who stays, and how stable the result really is.”

“It is also important to understand that democracy is less important to most Egyptians than material benefits, jobs, decent education, effective government services, ending corruption and favouritism, and emphasizing the concept of justice in ways that provide security and honest police and courts. People aren't looking for a vote as much as they want to stop the economic, political and social injustice.”

Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei reacts on Twitter to the latest developments: "Egypt will explode. Army must save the country now."

Sameh Shoukry, Egypt's ambassador to the U.S., tells CNN's Wolf Blitzer that Mubarak has delegated all power to Vice President Suleiman, calling him "de facto" head of state.

New comments from Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague on BBC TV: “We are studying very closely what the president and vice president of Egypt have said. It is not immediately clear what powers are being handed over and what the full implications are. We think the solution to this has to be owned by the Egyptian people themselves. All we want in the United Kingdom is for them to be able to settle their own differences in a peaceful and democratic way. And that is why we have called from the beginning of this crisis for an urgent but orderly transition to a more broadly based government in Egypt, and in the meantime we look to the Egyptian authorities to protect the right to peaceful protest.”

Louis Charbonneau, our colleague at the United Nations, has more on opposition leader ElBaradei’s reaction to the latest developments in Egypt:

“ElBaradei, interviewed from Egypt by CNN, said: ‘People are very angry.’ He added that it was up to the army to ‘save the country from going down the drain.’

‘We should be quite worried,’ he said. ‘They (Mubarak and Vice President Omar Suleiman) need to step aside. People have lost confidence in them.’ Mubarak earlier announced that he was delegating powers to Suleiman.

ElBaradei said Mubarak had lost all legitimacy.

Referring to Mubarak's passing of his powers to the vice president, ElBaradei said: ‘How can you be a president without any power?’”
