Correspondents around the Middle East on the revolution in Egypt.

Kate Adie hosts despatches about the changes in the Middle East from correspondents in Cairo, Jerusalem, Washington and Muscat.

After the dramatic events in Egypt yesterday, this is a special edition of From Our Own Correspondent. Hugh Sykes tells of the joy in Cairo's Tahrir Square as the president announced he was stepping down; Rupert Wingfield Hayes examines what will happen to the army of police, thugs and torturers who enforced Mubarak's police state; Jonathan Marcus explains how western diplomats were left floundering by this very Egyptian revolution while Sarah Monaghan's in Oman, a distant outpost of the Arab world waiting to see if the winds of change will blow through there as well.
