Egypt’s 2nd Anniversary
A survivor from the Day of Rage protests holds up an X-ray showing the shotgun pellets that are still inside his body.
Today sees the second anniversary of the Egyptian revolution. Again Tahrir Square is a mass of protestors, not celebrating the revolution, but calling for the downfall of president Morsi.
Twitter feeds from Cairo have reported major clashes all day and there are widespread reports of women being attacked in Tahrir by groups of men.
Latest reports state the army has deployed tanks to Cairo, Giza, Suez, Ismailia and Port Said.
Report Digital has uploaded three new video rushes today.

2009 London G20 Summit
1 April 2009 saw the G20 summit land in London. Tens of thousands protested economic and environmental issues as the first bite of the global banking crisis appeared in the UK.
By the end of the first day one man, newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson, was dead after being struck down by a riot police officer. Footage shot by this journalist went on to expose the use of plain clothes police officers deployed inside the demonstration.
