The White House says it is in discussions with Egyptian figures on an orderly transfer of power from Mr Mubarak. Press reports say one option is that the president resigns immediately and hands over power to a three-man constitutional council. US officials haven't denied this, but they stress many different options are being considered and that all decisions must be made by the Egyptian people. The head of the US military, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen says he has been speaking with his Egyptian counterparts. Speaking on US TV, he told The Daily Show with John Stewart: "One of my chief goals right now it to make sure we keep the lines of communications open, I have talked to my counterpart a couple of times. And also that we've got our military ready, should any kind of response or support be required."

Prominent activist Asma Mahfouz, one of the Tahrir Square demonstration's leaders, says she has received death threats from members of the ruling NDP party. She told BBC Arabic TV: "I made a video asking people not to be scared, asking how long will we live in fear, that we should go to the streets and that there are plenty of men in Egypt, and we can protect ourselves from Mubarak's thugs. But now I'm getting many threatening calls from Mubarak's people ordering me not to leave my home, and saying that if I do I will be killed along with my family."
