Egyptian officials say at least 500 people have been injured in Cairo in clashes between riot police and protesters demanding the ruling military council returns power to a civilian government. The police pulled down the tents of protesters who'd camped there overnight. From Cairo, Yolande Knell reports.

A large crowd has again returned to Tahrir Square after riot police pulled back. They had been using rubber bullets and tear gas to try to drive people away. In return, some protesters threw stones, and a police vehicle was set on fire. Dozens have been injured. The violence started after a small tent camp was dismantled earlier in the day. About 200 demonstrators had camped out for the night following the rally that took place after Friday prayers.
