    Rumours of opposition leader arrests, and a call for a mass protest by islamicists at Media City (independent satellite broadcasters) tomorrow.

    Things are heating up all the time.

    A group of Egyptian lawyers has alleged that the Muslim Brotherhood took billions from Obama.

    Would this be the same Judiciary who enforced Mubarak's brutal rule for 30 years?

    There is a Mubarak resurgence.

    That doesn't mean they are wrong about the money. Verdict out.

    The "soccer hooliganism" and ensuing trial is a blatant provocation that has allowed Morsi now to declare a State of Emergency in Port Said and two other cities and is now pushing through legislation to allow the army to make arrests - something that is a hugely sensitive issue in Egypt.

    He has his work cut out for him. I just picked up this tweet via the reputable @evanchill,

    ong march of at least a thousand going down 23rd June St in Port Said. Men on motobikes leading it. "Hey Morsi, ****** your mother."
    The army is a conscript army, and Port Said is a city with a long and strong history of fearless revolt and strong organisation.

    A lot of people out on the streets curfew breaking to protest against the curfew.

    This guy surely deserves the epic theme music -

    2011 they smashed a load of shop windows in the main shopping street down to Tahrir and helped themselves. Everyone knew they had done it, they were seen, but for a lot of the traders it was still the protestors fault, for being there.

    Plain clothes police "thugs", stocky guys, all looked as though they were related.

    Awful to see young activists are getting beaten to death by the police again in Egypt.

    Uproar in Cairo and Port Said over the dubious multiple death sentences on soccer fans - and 21 police let off. Having watched the video at the time of the original "ptich invasion" that cause the 70+deaths, it looked likely that the police instigated the trouble on pitch.

    Port Said fans have burned down the palatial Police Club in Cairo and also the football association headquarters.

    If the men are hanged, there will be hell to pay.
