Hugh Sykes with his camera in Tahrir Square

Radio 4 reporter Hugh Sykes is in Egypt. He presented the Cairo end of today's extended The World This Weekend and he's been providing reports for Broadcasting House, PM, From Our Own Correspondent and many other programmes and bulletins while he's been there. If you're a regular listener you'll know that his speciality is intimate, humane conversations with ordinary people in the troubled places he visits.
If you're a regular reader of the PM blog you'll also be familiar with his photographs. He carries a camera on all his assignments and, during today's The World This Weekend, he mentioned the latest batch from Tahrir Square. So I rushed off an email to Hugh, asking if I might have some for the blog and he emailed me these. They were all taken "in and around Tahrir Square" in the last twenty-four hours.
