Live blog 30/1 - Egypt protests

30 January 2011 Last updated at 17:39 ET Foreign Secretary William Hague: "We keep our travel advice under careful and constant review" British nationals in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez are being told to leave if it is safe for them to do so, following days of violent protests across Egypt. But despite upgrading its advice, the Foreign Office (FCO) is not currently organising a formal evacuation. Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was concerned by the number of Britons trying to leave at Cairo airport. While flights were coming in and out, a lack of staff meant it was not functioning properly, he said.
