CNN's Live coverage from Cairo with Anderson Cooper; they showed the video of him and his team being attacked....very intense. By the way, he mentioned they had to barricade in the Cairo bureau because of the security situation .

There are reports the attempted jamming of Al Jazeera's channels is coming from Libya.

Hala Gorani was visibly shaken by yesterday's events. (Who wouldn't be?) However, all outlets providing outstanding coverage, IMO.

Very difficult to cover this story in a meaningful way now . Too much risk involved. But big day tomorrow

Quote:
ABC News reports its producer Brian Hartman, along with photographer Akram Abi-hanna and two other members of the ABC News crew, were surrounded by a group of angry men on a crowded road that leads from Cairo’s airport to the city’s downtown area. The men kidnapped Hartman and crew and threatened to kill them. “We thought we were goners,” Hartman said later. “We absolutely thought we were doomed.”

ABC (US) has compiled a list of all the journalists who have been in some way threatened, attacked or detained while reporting in Egypt:

It looks like it's being updated, but although it counts the 2 Al Jazeera reporters who were detained today, it misses not the 6 who were earlier in the week

Tim Marshall mentioned on air yesterday that he had evaded detention near his hotel by "suddenly becoming a confused British tourist who lost his passport and was looking for the embassy".

Jonathan Charles on The Hub just handed over to Cairo and "to my colleague, Tim Willcox". Rather than Tim, it was a rather busy looking Lyse Doucet we went to instead. Has Tim been on today at all?
