Key points 1. A huge crowd has gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square for Friday prayers and a mass demonstration against Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak. 2. Mr Mubarak defied protesters on Thursday, vowing to hold on to power until presidential elections in September. 3. His speech drew a strong response from US President Barack Obama, who said Egypt needed a "clear and unequivocal" transition of power.
