Staying put for now: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak tonight told his people that he would not stand down until a new presidential election was held 
11 Feb 2011 Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak defied his country last night and refused to stand down.
Despite hundreds of thousands of people flooding into Cairo's Tahrir Square expecting the 82-year-old to make way for a transitional government, he made it clear he was determined to cling on to power until elections in September.
In an 18-minute televised address he said he intended to remain in charge to oversee a 'peaceful transition' of power and 'fulfil what I have already promised'.

Angry crowds jeered the president and waved their shoes in contempt as it became clear he was unwilling to submit to their demands for the end of his 30-year rule. Mubarak praised the young of Egypt and said the 'martyrs' who had been killed in the recent protests would get 'justice'.

But Mubarak said he would not give in to 'foreign interventions' and added: 'I express a commitment to carry on and protect the constitution and the people and transfer power to whomever is elected next September in free and transparent elections.
'As president I don't see anything wrong to hear the youth of my country and to respond to their demands but I will not accept at all any diktats by foreign countries.'
