We are hearing of some trouble a short distance away at the Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters. Apparently there have been some petrol bombs used there, but no injuries we hear as yet. There have been some injuries in other demonstrations around the country. But as I see here for this remarkable crowd in terms of numbers, there has been no trouble at all."
