Riot police deployed across Cairo

Three people died in Tuesday’s protests that swept through the streets of Cairo, Egypt. Protesters called for the end to the 30-year authoritarian rule of President Mubarak. “We’re waiting for some kind of revolution or something like that. We have to move, we’re not going to stand still,” one protester told the BBC.

Today, riot police have been deployed across the city in anticipation of further protests. Egyptian authorities have banned street protests today. The BBC’s Jon Leyne reports from Cairo.
