demonstrators are also planning to march to the main square. the military says they will not open fire on peaceful protesters. it s not so pleasant if you have to drive, a blizzard warning in force in seven u.s. states. and no amount of snow is going to stop this skier going for gold. if that slope looks extreme to you, it s because it is. we ll tell you all about it. just past midday in cairo s tahrir square, the scene of what s shaping up to be an unprecedented day of protest. anti-government demonstrations in the eighth day. organizers called for a million people to get out and march hoping to provide the push that topples president mubarak. those numbers may dpebd on whether people can get there. train services are reported to be shut doan and communications are patchy. frank wisner will be looking to press for reforms. the state department says he is there as a private citizen to reinforce the u.s. position on egypt. now the very latest on the situation in cairo. anderson cooper joins us now on the phone. is there a sense you re getting a momentum of these protests? reporter: we have certainly not seen anything like this, this is the largest crowd i have certainly seen in liberation square. it is just packed. i m not sure the pictures we re showing do it justice. i m in a hotel overlooking the hotel. i was down with the crowd before and shoulder the shoulder, people packed into the square. it was the demonstration called for about 9:00 a.m. which is pretty early for demonstrations here. usually crowds don t gather until afternoon prayers but here there is just a huge turnout of people, hard to estimate any actual numbers, but i m looking now and seeing large groups of new people arriving in the square. there s no central orization. people are milling around. though it s increasingly to move inside the square so many people here. give us an idea, anderson, of what is expected to happen today. are they expected to stay in tahrir square or march on forward to the presidential residence? reporter: there s been talk an rumors about marching on the president s residence. that seems unlikely. some of our folks have talked to some protest organizer who is said it s unlikely to try to leave the square. there s no many people and the soldiers have this pretty well choked off. they re controlling access to the square. there s only several places to enter the square now. so it s frankly, not clear what s going to happen. wlorpt they re going to try to take these protests on the move. the president s palace is quite far away from here and ben wedeman estimating 20 military checkpoints between here and there and the prospect of getting a crowd from here to there is doubtful. what s fascinating is just the level of even though there s not a central organizer here, people have really taken it upon themselves to try to police themselves. there is protesters here who are patting people down as they enter. several layers of security but it s not government security. it s just protesters who are, you know, telling people who arrive to remain peaceful. they pat people down. they check i.d.s. they want to make sure they re not giving anybody an excuse to try to crack down. it is so far incredibly calm and there is a, you know, to say that the people who are excited is an understatement. they feel, you know, that it s very important to try to keep the momentum of protests going and certainly today they have had a huge turnout here in liberation square. anderson cooper, thank you. just check out these extra extrade their videos. this is amateur video of a confrontation of soldiers and protesters on monday. what happens in this picture is that shots are fired. there you see a gun being held and then after a while, the threat seems to go down and then the crowd starts chanting. the people and the army are one. just watch this. i ll just make it is scenes like that that egyptians say they do not want to see today. million people are expected or they want to bring out as many people as possible out on the streets today. but they want it to be peaceful. oon uprising brought much of egypt to a stand still. many airlines canceled or delayed international flights to cairo and egypt air canceled flights from 5:00 p.m. local time tuesday to 10:00 a.m. wednesday. local newspapers are saying all rail service across the country have been halted and highways are open. eyewitnesss say traffic is substantially reduced. banks, stock market and many businesses are closed but the suez canal is reportly operating normally. past peek of protests is sure to have taken a heavy toil on egypt s economy. and we have heard about businesses grinding to a halt or just staying shut as a precaution. in cairo, many shops are closed. long lines for food. gas stations have run dry and banks have been shut for days which means the atms run out of cash. that is a big problem in the country where credit cards are not widely used and many workers who are usually paid at the end of the month have not received their wages. let s look at some of the news on egypt from newspapers around the world starting from down under. the australian s headline is this, be wary of the brotherhood meaning the muslim brotherhood. it is the sort of autocratic regime cannot continue and the need for real e form not wholesale revolution. in israel, look at what with the the jerusalem post is reading. p.m. warns against radical islamic takeover of egypt going on to say the principle guiding israel s policy of these days of crisis is to preserve the 30-year-old peace regime breaking ranks with other world leaders who have abandoned egyptian president hosni hue barack. finally, the jakarta post today. headline reads leave egypt s future to egyptians, instead of supporting unpopular rulers to protect their own interests, the u.s. and its allies must leave decisions on egypt s future to egyptian people and let them decide who will rule

a look at these live pictures. egypt is gearing up for what s being billed as a march of million. anti-government protesters converging on cairo and cities across the country. the movement for change enters its eighth day without the internet. the last functioning service provider is shut down taking the country offline. president mubarak has sworn in new members of government including a vice president, the first he s had in nearly 30 years as the head of state. translator: the president has commissioned me to make contact with political parties to start a dialogue and to tackle the issues in relation to the constitution and reform and legislation so that we can establish the clear amendments inquired in relation to the political reform. the president stressed that the appeal court decisions should be executed justly without delay according to the constitution. all across egypt, lots of people having to stand in long lines waiting for food. they re really worried about supplies just running out. bread, beans and other basics are becoming hard to find and so s cash to pay for them. as egyptians struggle to get by, arwa damon finds out not everyone wants mubarak to go. reporter: this is not the capital that me gyp shans recognize or want the outside world to see. popular bread factory, amid fears of a food shortage. as we are filming from a bridge, this manuels at us to stop. why are you filming, he shouts. is this a nice image? it s ugly. he threatens to break our camera. and the chaos at another bread line, a woman tells us they want mubarak to stay. the men angrily yell at us to leave. this is the second neighborhood that we have come to seeing people getting incredibly aggressive, not wanting to be filmed in this kind of a situation. the same woman meets us at the car and apologizes for the way we are treated. it s because of this terrible situation that we are in, she explains. we re good people. we re sorry. most shops in cairo are shut. it s not just food shortage that is are of rising concern. another problem that egyptians are facing is just getting money. banks are all closed. the screens on atm machines dark. if a person doesn t have cash in hand they re facing a serious problem. across the capital, normal life has been paralyzed. a number of gas stations that we have been driving by have been closed. some of them because of security reasons where owners don t want to be filmed. others like this because they quite simply ran out of fuel and not sure when stocks will be arriving. away from the demonstrators, we found a population increase bring frustrated and angry. tell us right now what is on your mind. why are you so upset? i m upset with the revolutions. it doesn t represent us. it doesn t represent our opinion. we here sticking with hosni mubarak only. give him time to work and then he can go but peacefully. reporter: who is going to govern egypt, she asks, switching to arabic. a group of youth? don t demonstrate. talk to the government. reporter: why is everybody so angry with the media? because you doesn t give a very good picture about us. reporter: an argument breaks out with another woman and we are again forced to stop filming. however torn this nation is becoming, the demonstrators are determined to weather it out no matter what. what are you doing about things like food, money? because we re hearing there s food shortage, a cash shortage. people here supporting each other. my neighbor, my neighbor give us food, water. and all what we need. okay? all of the store also supporting the people. reporter: for some, the chaotic events are the stirrings of freedom. for other egyptians, they mark the onset of anarchy. arwa damon, cnn, cairo. still to come, they came to admire the treasures of egypt s past and got swept up in the battle for its future. we check up on the tourists who are still waiting and waiting at cairo s airport. losing its cool, the vocal no that s turning vicious. this is world one. welcome back. trapped in the cross fire. that s the fear for tourists that are struggling to just get out of egypt. just take a look at this picture. all these holiday makers stranded at cairo airport. this is on monday. they re just waiting and waiting for a flight out. the u.s. is planning more charter flights today. it says about 1,200 people have already been flown out, out of the 2,600 that asked for help. canada, australia, india, israel and thailand all sent planes to bring out their citizens. russian officials say they have plans for evacuation and haven t yet put them into action. cairo airport is struggling just to deal with those huge crowds of passengers trying to get away. commercial flights are still getting in and out of egypt. the u.s. state department says the extra charter flights planes organized for backup. roughly 2,600 people have contacted us, you know, by variety of means and registered with us that they, you know, wish to leave the country. obviously, today we have kind of put a pretty good dent in that number but obviously that will go up and fluctuate day-to-day as american citizens make their own decisions about whether to stay in egypt or to leave. and just reminder, american citizens who have the ability to get out through commercial means are doing so as the same time so we are a source of support but, you know, there are still commercial flights coming in and out of cairo. the ongoing unrest will deal a really hard blow to local tourism, that s the key to egypt s economy and generates more than 11% of the country s gdp and employs about 10% of the workforce. egypt earned nearly $12 billion from tourism last year. in 2009, more than 12 million people went for a holiday to egypt visiting world famous landmarks like the pyramids of giza. a massive snowstorm is sweeping across a large area of the united states. three quarters of the country could be in for snow. travel is expected to be a nightmare in many areas for the next few days. hundreds of flights have been canceled. some areas of the midwest are bracing themselves for more than 30 centimeters of snow. let s get some more on that, more information, not snow, that is. meteorologist jennifer delgado with the world weather center. i don t think they need more snow. they don t. we could see about 18 inches of snowfall. this is going to be a reco record-breaking storm. 28 states being affected by the storm with snow and sleet, ice as well as tornadoes. now, i want to point out to you right now looking at the travel delays, not so bad but things are certainly going to get worse through the afternoon and even into the evening. now, let s go over to a live shot coming out of oklahoma city, and this is going to show you, hey, we are actually dealing with blizzard conditions across this region. wind gusts up to about 74 miles per hour. we don t have the live shot but hopefully will in a short while. i want to point out the areas we re watching. 28 states from new mexico over towards maine. the area in red, this is going to be our hot zone for today. the blizzard warning in place now for parts of michigan and now down standards parts of oklahoma. hoping to get that video in a short while but again we have that video now. this is what it looks like. somebody s driving around in the snowy conditions across this region. as i said to you, talking 18 inches. 48 centimeters snowfall. this is going to be crippling travel delays and bringing travel delays to many parts of the u.s., especially for chicago. let me take you over to the radar. we have the snow as well as that wintry mix and rain. this is going to continue to move through parts of the midwest and it s going to bring an incredible amount of snowfall, we are talking as i said about 48 centimeters of snowfall. 18 inches for parts of chicago. this band here in purple, 25 centimeters or more, certainly, a dangerous situation. temperatures are really going to plummet. talking windchill values roughly minus 25 to minus 45 and that is in celsius. bitterly cold and then can t forget about the severe weather with the tornadoes to come later on today so certainly this is not going to wrap up until wednesday. no kidding. jen, thank you very much. wikileaks is turning the spotlight on the bureaucratish government. and he s leaving

my message to president obama, i have lots of respect for him. i work with him in the last year of my tenure and i have a lot of admiration for him but i tell him, you need to review your policy. you need to let go of mubarak. you shouldn t be behind the curve. build confidence with the people and not with the people smothering the people. well, let s take you right now to cairo and cnn s fred pleitgen watching the crowd swell in tahrir square. we want to talk about the momentum, fred, is that gaining some sort of traction there? reporter: oh, it is, absolutely, monita. the momentum is unbelievable. i was down there among those crowds. the tahrir square is getting fuller and fuller by the minute. i can see hundreds of people flocking to the square from each side and the people are organizing this by themselves. you see people handing out food. you see people organize security. you have military checkpoints and then regular people working with the military guys and have their own checkpoints where they as well checking the crowds and a sense down there that people feel like this could be a very historic day for this country. i was able to speak to some of them. let s listen in to what they have to say so far. for those people. we are here. for the children of our country. this is my daughter. i got two daughters and all these people are here sacrifice all their doings for the benefit of these people and the country. i m here to say to hosni mubarak, he must leave. he should be out. i m here to say no more changes, changes, whenever mubarak is there. reporter: and one of the interesting things, monita, is really the makeup of the crowd. as i said it s very big and diverse. you see a lot of christians, muslims, obviously. you see a lot of women and people who came here as families. i have seen father, mother and two or three children here and all of them tell us they want to bring their children here to show them that at some point they fought for the future of their country and proud of the day able to mobilize so many people and they really feel that this could be an important and very pivotal day in their country s history, monita. fred, is there any indication that the government will try or has been trying to quell this gathering today? reporter: well, i mean, they ve sort of been trying to tamper with it, if you will. there was talk that the cell phone and internet connections could be cut totally. cell phone service is up but patchy and stopped the railway services into cairo and across the country. so far, of course, that s not done very much. the other thing we have seen is seen a few sort of pro-mubarak demos as well and not gained very much traction either. there are sort of smaller little things but by and large seems as though there isn t much tampering going at this point. it s the military out there. the people out there. and so far, appears that the kem t industry between the two is very good and cheerful. a person down there said he believes this could be egypt s 1989, of course, looking back to all the change that swept across europe that year, monita. fred pleitgen there in the thick of it all, thank you very much. iran is speaking out in favor of the uprising. the semiofficial news agency says the iranian foreign minister praised the proes ters on sunday. opposition leader also came out against the ve jim pointing out the similarities between the uprising in 2009 and that in egypt. the difference, he sayings, the iranian protesters were crushed in the 2k3w0government crackdow cliff tops and drops. sport for daredevils over the top of the world of freestyle. are these the faces of extinction?
