8.29am: A picture has been posted online that is said to be the first of the former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, outside the ambulance, arriving for his trial.
8.25am: There is a large screen outside the courtroom where supporters and opponents of the former Egyptian president are currently throwing stones at each other. The two appear to be separated by barriers.
Early in the morning, some 50 of Mubarak's supporters chanting slogans and holding portraits of the former leader gathered outside the venue, AP reports.
"We will demolish and burn the prison if they convict Mubarak," they screamed at hundreds of police and army troops backed by armored personnel carriers.
8.19am: Welcome to Middle East Live. It is an historic day in Egypt where Hosni Mubarak, who ruled Egypt with an iron fist for 30 years, goes on trial to face charges of corruption and unlawful killing.
He was brought down by a revolution that started just over six months ago and today will appear in the dock behind the bars of a specially constructed metal cage.
An ambulance believed to be carrying Mubarak has arrived outside the court, where crowds are gathering to witness this momentous event.
We will be bringing you updates on the trial as well as news from the rest of the Middle East.

With regards to Libya here's a few articles from the last 12 hours:
Libya rebels 'get message' on rights: US envoy
The US representative in Libya's rebel bastion of Benghazi voiced confidence Tuesday that the insurgents would work to prevent human rights abuses and insisted they were making progress.
Envoy Chris Stevens said he found to be "credible" a Human Rights Watch report last month that documented looting, arson and abuse of civilians as the rebels fight strongman Moamer Kadhafi.
Stevens said he discussed the allegations with the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) and found they had an "extra political motivation" to prevent future human rights abuses.
Slain Libyan commander's tribe warns rebels over probe
The powerful tribe of the Libyan rebels' slain military commander vowed on Tuesday to find justice themselves for his suspicious killing last week if rebel leaders failed to investigate it fully.
General Abdel Fattah Younes's death, apparently while in the custody of fellow rebels bringing him back from the front line for unspecified questioning, raised fears of deep divisions in the rebel camp, something the tribal ultimatum only underlined.
"The way he was killed looks like a betrayal, so until now we are trying to calm and control the youth of the tribe, but we don't know what could happen," one of Younes's sons told foreign reporters when asked if rifts could turn violent.
Gaddafi hit list revealed
Libyan rebels have uncovered a hit list with the names and addresses of about 60 of their leaders, during an operation to smoke out a suspected pro-Gaddafi sleeper cell, officials told AFP on Tuesday.
Files with sensitive information about key members of the rebels' political and military leadership were found at the headquarters of a Benghazi-based brigade - now believed to have been secretly allied to Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
"There were around 60 people [on the list]," deputy interior minister Mustafa al-Sagazly told AFP, including "members of the [National Transitional Council], the military council, the cabinet of the NTC executive."

"extra political motivation" to prevent future human rights abuses.
I bet the message from the US was more like - come on guys be a bit more undercover with your torture - or at least transport people to foreign soil to do it?!

I'm still not convinced these really are 'sleeper Gaddafi agents' if they are then it shows the incredible loyalty some of his supporters still possess.
My own belief is that this is about tribal rivalries and the TNC are putting the 'Gaddafi henchmen' spin on it

Re: Syria
Update from Aleppo
Since Sunday there have been 3 or 4 protests of between 100 – 200 daily as well as numerous small groups of less than 50, after the evening prayers, all over the city. Most disperse quickly before the arrival of the security forces.
Monday in Hamdaniyeh area there were 500 – 700 protesters who chased off the government Shabbiha. One of the reasons people have been slow to protest in larger numbers in Aleppo is due to the savage beatings from these thugs. In the last week some clans have offered to protect the protesters.
Yesterday in Maisaloun / Midan area over 1000 protested.
In Myasar area 500 - 700 protestors exited the Zein al Abdine mosque and were confronted by around 300 Shabbiha and security forces. Even so they started chanting their support for Hama. Tear gas and a few bullets fired into the air finally dispersed the crowd.

Các anh chị có ý kiến, phê bình gì qua bài viết "Egypt, Syria, Libya and Middle East unrest - live updates" và "5 comments" của độc giả ?
Khi bọn cầm quyền độc tài bị dân chúng đồng đứng lên LẬT ĐỔ thì cũng là lúc bọn cầm quyền độc tài bạo ác đó phải đối diện với TỘI ÁC đã làm, là lúc chúng phải nhìn lại những bàn tay của chúng đã từng nhúng đầy MÁU của những người dân vô tội bị bóc lột tận xương tủy, bị hành hạ đọa đày và bị tước đọat QUYỀN LÀM NGƯỜI, bị tước đọat QUYỀN SỐNG.
Xin được ngưỡng phục những người dân Tunisia, Ai Cập, Syria, Libya .. ở Bắc Phi và Trung Đông đã đứng lên LẬT ĐỔ bạo quyền độc tài giành lại QUYỀN LÀM NGƯỜI cho chính mình và quyền được XỬ TỘI những tên độc tài bạo ác .
Ngày tàn của những tên độc tài hầu hết đều Ô NHỤC như nhau . Hosni Mubarak cũng không ngọai lệ .
Còn nữa, khi quốc dân VN đồng đứng lên LẬT ĐỔ bè lũ Việt gian phản quốc cướp nước diệt chủng bán nước độc tài độc đảng cộng sản VN, thì lũ thổ phỉ giết dân bán nước csVN này cũng không ngọai lệ.
Những gì lũ Việt gian csVN CƯỚP của dân tộc VN sẽ phải trả lại cho dân tộc VN .
Lũ súc sinh csVN rồi cũng phải đối diện với TỘI ÁC chúng đã làm với dân tộc VN.
Có vay tất phải có trả vậy .
