Egypt - first free elections now in doubt

After almost a week of clashes calling for the military to pull out of politics and turn power over to civilians there seems no let up between the security forces and hardcore young activists.

The unrest has always been in Cairo and latterly Alexandria but now it has spread to Ismailia.

In the Suez Canal city tanks patrolled the streets.
