Egyptian protests continue after talks breakdown

Talks between the government and protesters in Egypt have broken down.

Talks had begun between the government and six other groups including the banned Muslim brotherhood, but have failed to end a two week occupation of Tahrir Square by protesters.

Opposition groups said they were sceptical of the governments intentions to form a joint committee who would be responsible for deciding on constitutional amendments.

Senior Brotherhood figure Essam el-Erian said the authorities had responded to some of the demands but only in “a superficial way”.

The protests have already seen 300 people killed.
