The BBC signs off its live blog for the night: "With ongoing skirmishes between looters and vigilante groups, several hundred escaped convicts reportedly on the run, and a complete absence of police on Egypt's streets, the situation remains precarious. Sunday is the sixth day of protests against Hosni Mubarak's regime, which is seemingly teetering on the brink of collapse."

Al Jazeera English covered the demonstration in Westwood today by UCLA students supporting the street protests in Egypt. The organizer thanks Mark Zuckerberg, saying the demonstration came together on Facebook. Al Jazeera live stream
