6:03 am The latest update from one of our web producers at Tahrir Square:
I saw one wounded protester being treated by doctors and then taken away to the ambulances. The doctor who had been working on him told me that the man had been shot in the head but still had a pulse and might survive. There was a puddle of blood on the concrete beneath the man. The doctor said the gunfire came from pro-Mubarak protesters, not from army. I saw second wounded protester also being treated for a gunshot wound, he looked unresponsive. One protester told me six people had died today, however another doctor in the square told me four had died. 
5:52 am Phones not working well, internet still down in large parts of Egypt, our correspondent in Tahrir square says.
