A New Day in Egypt; A New Aljazeera Live Blog

Follow events here.

12:23am: The head of Al Jazeera Arabic's bureau in Cairo and another journalist have been detained in the Egyptian capital. Details soon...

12:00am: Protests that have rocked Egypt are moving into a twelfth day.

Anti-government demonstrators are still demanding an immediate end to Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule, but the president insists he will stay on until September.

Meanwhile, state television is reporting that the government has eased the night time curfew, shortening it by three hours - though the curfew has largely been ignored by protesters who remain in Cairo's Tahrir square.

No gunfire or petrol bombs so far tonight - that's an improvement over last night.
