Supporters of the deposed Egyptian President, Mohamed Morsi, are

:00:28.:00:33.

planning another day of protests today. A coalition of Islamist

:00:33.:00:36.

groups says it will continue peaceful demonstrations until he is

:00:36.:00:40.

returned to power. 30 people were killed in clashes yesterday. Four of

:00:40.:00:47.

them when the army opened fire on crowds of pro-Morsi demonstrators.

:00:47.:00:51.

Our correspondent, Aleem Maqbool, is in Cairo for us.

:00:51.:00:56.

Yes, well we remember the scenes of jubilation in Tahrir Square, but it

:00:56.:01:00.

is pretty empty now. The celebrations feel like a long time

:01:00.:01:09.

ago. The sounds we heard here overnight and areas close to here

:01:09.:01:14.

where the sounds of gunfire. It has been the worst violence of

:01:14.:01:19.

the new startling transition in Egypt. Muslim Brotherhood decided it

:01:19.:01:23.

was time their voices were heard. The demonstrations turned to clashes

:01:23.:01:28.

in. In some places with the police, in others, with the army. Into the

:01:28.:01:33.

night, close to Tahrir Square, they fought the protesters who helped to

:01:33.:01:37.

bring down their leader, Mohamed Morsi. Fireworks, rocks and then

:01:37.:01:41.

live rounds were used. More were killed than injured.

:01:41.:01:47.

This is what the Egyptians feared, here in the centre of Cairo, running

:01:47.:01:51.

battles between the opponents and supporters of Mohamed Morsi. Nobody

:01:51.:01:54.

thinks this is the end of it. The Muslim Brotherhood is coming

:01:55.:02:00.

under pressure. The pictures here appear to show another figure in the

:02:00.:02:05.

organisation, he is being arrested. Morsi supporters are shocked by the

:02:05.:02:08.

events. So they will not be kept quiet.

:02:08.:02:14.

TRANSLATION: We are going to continue our protest, say Mohamed

:02:14.:02:18.

Morsi must be released and reinstated as the Egyptian

:02:18.:02:23.

President. Both sides are ready for further

:02:23.:02:28.

shows of strength. Unless there is a political solution, the security

:02:28.:02:32.

here could disintegrate further. So, with more protests planned this

:02:32.:02:38.

week, is there a sense that there can be a peaceful solution to this?

:02:38.:02:42.

Well, I suppose, Maxine, it depends what happens with the Muslim

:02:42.:02:47.

Brotherhood and with the supporters. Of course until just a few days ago,

:02:47.:02:52.

they were running the country. Now the leaders have been arrested. A

:02:52.:02:57.

lot of Islamist TV Channels have been shut down and Mohamed Morsi is

:02:57.:03:01.

in military detention. There will be those who will not accept what has

:03:02.:03:06.

happened but how can they be brought back into the fold? Perhaps if some

:03:06.:03:10.

leaders can be talked around, they cab talk down the supporters but

:03:10.:03:14.

unless there is reconciliation soon, there is the possibility that

:03:14.:03:19.

violence could continue between Islamists on one side who feel hard

:03:19.:03:24.

done by and the rest of Egyptian society and there is more violence

:03:24.:03:28.

expected in the next 24 hours. A former Deputy Assistant

:03:28.:03:31.

Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has revealed that he

:03:31.:03:36.

authorised a secret recording of a meeting between Stephen Lawrence's

friend, Duwayne Brooks, and his lawyers and detectives. John Grieve

:03:40.:03:44.

said he wanted a record of discussions with Duwayne Brooks, who

:03:44.:03:49.

witnessed the attack on Stephen Lawrence in 1993. Our correspondent

:03:57.:04:02.

What more do we know? This meeting happened 11 years before the two men

:04:02.:04:08.

were convicted of that killing of Stephen Lawrence. John Grieve said

:04:09.:04:14.

he wanted a record of discussions with Duwayne Brooks. He said had he

:04:14.:04:18.

asked for permission mission, they would have been refused. He was

:04:18.:04:25.

saying that he was not deceiving anyone and apologises for anyone --

:04:25.:04:30.

for any stress he may have caused Stephen Lawrence's parents. Scotland

:04:30.:04:36.

Yard believe in this case that the relevant policy was followed. In a

:04:36.:04:40.

tweet, Duwayne Brooks says let's be honest, that did anyone believe that

:04:40.:04:48.

this kind of recording own happened once? They -- Stephen Lawrence's

:04:48.:04:54.

parents have asked what exactly happened in the year years before

:04:54.:05:03.
