As it happened: Egypt presidential election
Key points
- Egyptians are voting in the first free presidential election in their country's history, 15 months after president Hosni Mubarak was ousted.
- BBC correspondents say the atmosphere has been calm but election monitors have reported a few irregularities.
- Polling times extended by one hour until 21:00 (19:00 GMT).
- Thirteen candidates including Islamists, leftists and former government ministers.
- Counting due to finish on Saturday with results expected on 29 May.
- A run-off will be held on 16 and 17 June if no-one wins 50% of the vote.
Welcome to the BBC's live page for the first day of voting in Egypt's historic presidential elections. Polls opened at 08:00 (0600 GMT), and long queues have already been reported in many areas. Come back to this page for live updates throughout the day.
Fifteen months after the uprising which overthrew President Hosni Mubarak, Egyptians are voting over the next two days to elect a new leader - the first time they have freely done so in the country's history. Thirteen people are on the ballot paper - the four men generally regarded as the front-runners are all either Islamists or former ministers under Mr Mubarak.
The secular activists who led the uprising have not produced a candidate charismatic or organised enough to grab the imagination of the Egyptian people.

Egypt - and its next president - face huge challenges. He will have to find a way to make people feel safe again. Egypt needs a reformed police service to deal with the rash of crime that followed the collapse of the old regime's brutal and corrupt force. The economy cannot satisfy the needs of a growing and young population. And there's a potential clash waiting to happen with the army, which seems determined to retain its position as the power behind the president's chair.

The electorate does not know what powers the new president will have to do his job, as they are still waiting for them to be spelled out in a new constitution. But on the streets of Cairo the most common demand is for a leader who can end the chaos, confusion and uncertainty that have affected Egypt since Mr Mubarak was ousted last February.

Rosalind Carter, the wife of former US President Jimmy Carter, came out of polling station in the capital and told me: "I don't see any problems. The sun is rising in Egypt." I asked her how it compared to the many other elections she had seen around the world. She replied: "It's a good day... Egyptians are just happy to be voting."
There are reports that judges arrived late at some polling stations to oversee the voting, and that some of the candidate's representatives were refused entry to polling stations because they did not have the required paperwork from the Higher Presidential Elections Commission (HPEC).
According to our profiles of the 13 candidates for the presidency, the front-runners are: Ahmed Shafiq, a former commander of the air force and briefly prime minister during and after the uprising; Amr Moussa, who has served as foreign minister and head of the Arab League; Mohammed Mursi, who heads the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP); and Abdul Moneim Aboul Fotouh, an independent Islamist.

Supporter of former Foreign Minister Amr Moussa says his links to past regime do not matter. "Egypt needs experience and competence," she says.

Mohammed Fawzi Issa, one of the less prominent candidates, announced last week that he was backing Amr Moussa. Mr Issa could not withdraw officially because his decision came after a deadline set by the election commission.
Abdul Moneim Aboul Fotouh has voted at a polling station in the Cairo suburb of Nasser City. Al-Hayat TV reports that "frowning and looking stern", he told journalists that the "Egyptian people will choose a servant to serve them today" and that "the era of Pharaohs" had ended, referring to a nickname for Hosni Mubarak. "Our programme is a strong Egypt in which Egypt becomes a strong nation and a nation for all Egyptians," he added.

Meanwhile, the head of the Higher Presidential Elections Commission (HPEC), Farouq Sultan, has said the result of the election's first round will be announced on 29 May. A run-off will be held on 16 and 17 June if no-one wins 50% of the vote.
Presidential candidate Amr Moussa is having to queue to vote at Fado Anan school in Nasser City, according to BBC Arabic. He does not look too impressed in this picture. One of his aides reportedly told other voters: "Please do not crush him."
The BBC World Service's World Today programme spoke to people in Cairo before the polls opened and asked them what kind of president they were looking for. One man said: "The main thing that I choose a president for is whether he is on the side of the revolution or not." Another said: "Reform. We have nine million government employees. We need someone who is going to be able to work on these people. These are bureaucratic people; most of them are still corrupt. They are a big part of the old regime. We need someone to reform these people."

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), which assumed presidential powers after Hosni Mubarak stepped down, has sought to reassure Egyptians that it will be the voters themselves who decide who will be the next president. "It is important that we all accept the election results, which will reflect the free choice of the Egyptian people, bearing in mind that Egypt's democratic process is taking its first step and we all must contribute to its success," it said on Monday.

Egypt's second city is very different from Cairo, but people here are equally excited about the country's first free and fair presidential elections. Campaigning here has been fierce and open - there is a general sense of real political freedom here.
Wyre Davies BBC Middle East correspondent, Alexandria
But amid talk of who might win, there are arguable more pressing concerns in Alexandria that betrays the signs of decades of neglect. In the city's slums, the election is not really about religious dogma or party politics - it is about who can put food on their tables and a roof over their heads. Democracy alone will not bring people out of poverty.
Omnia al-Desoukie, an Egyptian journalist, tells the BBC: "It's great to see Egyptians queuing patiently to vote. There are 70-year-old couples holding hands, going inside to cast their ballots."

Human rights groups report that several polling stations opened late due to the delayed arrival of judges in several provinces, including Qana and Wadi al-Jadid.
Mohammed Mursi's campaign says it has observed "some immoral activities" by the supporters of other candidates, such as putting up posters with their names on in some areas, BBC Arabic reports. Campaigning was officially meant to end on Sunday.

Ahdaf Soueif, an Egyptian author who protested in Cairo's Tahrir Square during the uprising, tells the BBC World Service that the election will not mean the end of the country's problems. "The situation in which these elections are being held is absolutely not ideal, and we need to see the election of the president today and tomorrow as simply one more step in a long process that we're going through rather than the culmination," she says.
Ahdaf Soueif adds: "There's a constitutional gap, we don't even have agreement on the committee that's going to write the constitution. And there are very big issues that need to be resolved; perhaps the most important of them is the position of the military forces in the country and that is a key thing."

In the capital's working class Bashtil area, men are voting in an optimistic mood. They want a strong leader to end the chaos and uncertainty. A Coptic Christian priest waiting to vote says Egypt needs a leader to "take it out of the darkness".
BBC Arabic's reporter in Port Said, Ahmed El Sheikh, says the turnout in the city is good, and confirms that some polling stations opened 45 minutes late.
Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, the head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), and Gen Sami Anan, the army's chief-of-staff, are following the election from an operations room in Cairo after visiting several polling stations, officials say.

Al-Nahar TV is reporting that the families of protesters killed during the uprising have been holding up pictures of them at the polling stations in Cairo where Amr Moussa and Ahmed Shafiq voted, according to BBC Monitoring. Both candidates served under Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Moussa told reporters outside the polling station: "My message to the Egyptians in Cairo is that this is a great day, a big day, and a decisive day and I hope they will select correctly. They will elect the president who can really lead Egypt in this crisis time."

This is a graceful moment in the history of Egypt. The results of these elections will change the face of Egypt and the Arab World forever (hopefully in a positive way). The stakes are so high in a very rare historic junction when everything seems uncertain. People here are optimistic, hopeful and are really enjoying the moment.

US Congressman David Dreier is an official election observer. He says he is inspired by what the Egyptian people are doing. "This is the first time in 7,000 years that the people of Egypt have been able to play a role in determining their future, choosing their president and it's a very exciting thing for those of us from the west to observe," he adds. "Obviously, there are difficult days ahead, challenging days ahead, but to see people who are here finally playing a role and making this determination is an inspiration."
Ahmed Shafiq, who served as prime minister in the last days of Hosni Mubarak's rule, is holding a news conference at his campaign headquarters before heading off to vote. Mr Shafiq says he will respect the outcome of the election no matter what it is. BBC Arabic's Dina Demrdash says he is considered one of the most controversial of the front-runners, as he faces accusations of corruption during the Mubarak era, when he was also chief of the air force.

Zakaria Mohyeidin, one of those who took part in the protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square, tells the BBC World Service that the election is "one more step at least in the right direction", but adds: "My issue with this presidential election is number one: the candidates themselves. Number two: the fact that the constitution is still not completed so the president really doesn't know what his duties are going to be once the constitution is finished. There is still a lot that remains to be seen and still a lot of confusion around."
The AFP news agency is citing a security source as saying a policeman has been shot dead outside a polling station in Cairo.
Hamdin Sabbahi, the candidate of the Nasserist Karama party, tells a news conference: "Egyptians are participating in creating the future of their country."
Speaking while casting his ballot in 6 October City outside Cairo, People's Assembly Speaker Saad al-Katatni stresses that MPs will co-operate with the next president, adding: "No-one knows who will become the next president but we hope that the elections will be free and fair. As for the government, it must represent the parliamentary majority." Mr Katatni is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, which dominates both houses of parliament.
The state news agency, Mena, reports that Mr Katatni had to wait 40 minutes to vote. He tried to avoid queuing, but was told to stand in line by other voters, it says. Mr Katatni was applauded when he agreed to do so.
More on the reported death in Cairo: AFP says the policeman was shot during a gunfight between the supporters of two candidates. Another person was injured in the clash, it adds.

The al-Ahram newspaper is reporting that Ahmed Shafiq has been referred to prosecutors for breaking "election silence" by holding a press conference earlier today.
Ahmed Shafiq, 70, served as commander of the Egyptian Air Force from 1996 to 2002 before becoming the country's first civil aviation minister. On 29 January 2011, President Mubarak named Shafiq prime minister in an attempt to appease protesters in Tahrir Square. He continued serving after Mr Mubarak's fall, but resigned less than a month later following demands from protesters who saw him as part of the old regime. Mr Shafiq portrays himself as the only contender who combines civilian experience with knowledge of the military, which is overseeing the democratic transition. Read a full profile here.

Egypt's first post-revolution presidential election dominates headlines and commentaries in the country's press, BBC Monitoring reports. The state-owned daily, al-Akhbar's headline reads: "Your vote, Egypt's future", while the state-owned al-Jumhuriya runs with "Democracy day". Al-Wafd, the mouthpiece of the liberal New Wafd party, carries a headline reading: "Egypt says goodbye to the age of tyranny", accompanied by a photo of a military vehicle outside a polling station.
An editorial in the official newspaper, al-Ahram, describes the presidential election as a "defining moment", saying that "victory in the battle of freedom and democracy is just around the corner". Fahmi Huwaydi writes in al-Shuruk: "It is a fatal mistake to think that the conflict in the current presidential election is between Islamists and secularists or between advocates of a civil state and those supporting the religious state. It is instead a conflict between the revolution and the counter-revolution."
Hatem Bagato, deputy head of the Higher Presidential Elections Commission (HPEC), says that what most polling stations are facing is simply large queues due to the high turnout of citizens, BBC Arabic reports. He says electoral officials are attempting to deal with it in the best way they can - by using large numbers of crowd-control officers, and by maintaining order in front of the polling stations and making the voting process easier.
Mr Bagato also reveals that 300 judges had to pull out of observing the electoral process as they lived too far away from where they had been assigned. He says the HPEC accepted their apologies, and that they were replaced. No problems were reported as a result of their withdrawals, he adds.

One priority for Egypt's new president will be deciding what to do about the peace treaty with Israel signed more than 30 years ago back in the days of authoritarian military rule. The former Israeli ambassador to Egypt, Yitzhak Levanon, tells the BBC World Service: "None of the presidential candidates have asked to cancel the peace agreement with Israel and that is a good sign…good relations between Israel and Egypt are an asset, not a liability."

There have been reports of a good turnout so far across Egypt but many polling stations have not seen the long queues that formed for parliamentary elections a few months ago, according to Omnia al Desoukie, an Egyptian journalist with the BBC's team.
The Secretary-General of the Higher Presidential Elections Commission (HPEC) Hatem Bagato has denied that any judges have been excluded from supervising the elections, state-owned Nile TV has reported. Earlier, the Egyptian Channel 1 TV station said that five judges had been excluded because they guided voters to choose a certain candidate inside polling stations.

The Coalition also raised concerns about other violations that it says are marring the electoral process, such as cars with pictures of some of the candidates near some polling stations.

BBC Arabic reports that Masr el-Gedida secondary school, used as a polling station by former President Hosni Mubarak and his family during his rule, is not being used for voting on Tuesday. People due to vote there have been sent to nearby polling stations.
Interestingly, al-Masry al-Youm reports that neither the former president nor 44 other former government officials and associates, who are currently detained on various charges, have applied to vote in the election. Egyptian law allows detainees to vote along as they have not been convicted. Mr Mubarak will find out on 2 June whether a judge believes he is guilty of ordering the killing of protesters. He could face the death penalty if convicted. More than 850 people were killed during the uprising.
The Grand Imam of the Al-Azhar mosque, Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyib, has urged Egyptians to cast their votes, saying it is their religious duty, the state news agency Mena reports. Describing the elections as a historic day, he called on the people to choose well and to abide by the results.

The head of the Higher Presidential Election Commission (HPEC), Farouq Sultan, tells a news conference that complaints have been sent to the attorney general about three candidates - Ahmed Shafiq, Mohammed Mursi and Abdul Moneim Aboul Fotouh. He says they have broken the rule that bans campaigning during the two polling days. BBC Arabic notes that almost all the candidates have issued statements on Tuesday and Mr Shafiq even held a news conference.
Farouq Sultan of the HPEC also urges satellite channels to be "accurate", and says that electoral officials have also observed advertising violations from Ahmed Shafiq, Mohammed Mursi and Abdul Moneim Aboul Fotouh.
Mr Sultan says the law against "breaking electoral silence" covers anything that is said by a candidate, including brief statements and news conferences.

Ahmed Shafiq's presidential campaign has complained to the authorities that Amr Moussa's supporters are spreading rumours that it is buying votes, BBC Arabic reports. A complaint has also been lodged against Mohammed Mursi's supporters, who the Shafiq campaign says have been urging voters not to vote for the former prime minister.

Following a cabinet meeting, Egypt's Interior Minister, Mohammed Youssef, has declared that there had been "no crime" reported on polling day, BBC Arabic reports. He also said turnout had so far been greater than 40% in some provinces, and 25% in others.
The interior minister also explained that the judges presiding over the polling stations would start counting the votes on Thursday, in front the candidates' representatives, and then provide them with a copy of the result. Ballot boxes would then be sealed before being transferred to the Higher Presidential Election Commission (HPEC), he said. Mr Youssef said vote-rigging would be impossible.

The Pew Research Centre has released survey data showing that on the eve of the election, 53% of Egyptians said they were hopeful about the future of their country. The same number were satisfied with the direction the country is taking, down from 65% in a poll conducted after the fall of Mubarak but significant higher than the 28% recorded in the final year of his rule.
The ministry of health has announced that the number of those injured in election-related incidents on Wednesday has risen to 13, BBC Arabic reports. Most of the injuries were due to overcrowding at polling stations and the hot weather.

tweets: Muslim Brotherhood campaign manager in Suez tells us they are confident Morsi will get 44% of vote here. Yet we haven't met a single Morsi voter yet.

There has been a really strong turnout in Cairo's Sayyeda Zainab area. We have had queues right from the start of voting this morning - one for men and one for women. We are getting reports that it is not the same picture in other parts of the capital and in the countryside. Beyond the capital, in a country of nearly 90 million people, the turnout in some rural areas has been less than during the recent parliamentary elections. But there is a two-day voting period, so that might change.
BBC Arabic's Dina Demrdash in Cairo reports that non-governmental organisations and human rights groups have begun issuing their observations on the first of two days of voting in the first round of presidential elections. Egypt's National Council for Human Rights (NCHR) said that it had received 50 complaints of electoral violations so far, ranging from delay in opening voting booths, to campaigning for candidates outside polling stations. Observers Without Borders said it had filed three complaints with the Higher Presidential Election Commission.
Internet activist Wael Ghonim, who played a key role in last year's uprising, tells BBC World News: "We took to the streets because we wanted to bring back Egyptians' right to choose whoever their president is and whoever represents them in parliament. Today is one more step towards democracy, which we have aspired to."
Mr Ghonim adds: "We are basically getting rid of the concept of dictatorship. I don't think anyone will qualify from the first round to be president. This is what matters to me. Egyptians are actively participating in politics. Egyptians are no longer scared to say what they believe in. Of course, the result will impact on the direction the country is going in the next few years. Yet, overall the country is going in the right direction."
Hany Assal, from Cairo, Egypt
writes: Congratulations to all Egyptians! I voted in the elections this morning in Ameriya area, east Cairo. The poll station was overcrowded, but well organized. Everything was normal. I think it is a free and fair election with a high turnout.
May Sadek
tweets: My aunt is bribing me with home made lasgana and molokheya if i vote for #shafik #candidatedomesticfights
Sarah El-Sirgany, Egyptian journalist
tweets, suggesting turnout may be picking up in some areas late in the day: "At the Canal School. It was empty when I arrived 20 min ago. Now a queue outside. It's not as sunny. #suez #egyelex"
Egyptian voters have been sharing their experiences of the day on BBC Arabic's Facebook page. Mohammed Taqi says: "The last presidential elections... I passed by a street next to the polling station with officials or thugs, you couldn't tell the difference, and they were banning everyone from coming through... But today when I went into the polling station the officer said "Please, can you wait a minute till the person before you comes out", and after he came out the officer said "go ahead sir" - these are simple and ordinary words but compare this to the past and you will see that we live in a state now."
Christian Vachon
tweets: Cabbie in Cairo tells me, "I vote for Shafiq. I once worked for him. He is a strong man. He has all of the Christian votes" #egypt
The BBC's Dina Demrdash in Cairo says that turnout among women has reportedly been high, especially in the capital and in Alexandria, Egypt's second city. And more elderly voters were reported in the morning, as they preferred to cast their ballots in the first hours of the morning before the midday heat.
Omar Abu Omar
tweets: Today's #EgElections is history in the making. Our grand grandchildren will never hear the end of it in history classes (I hope) #Egypt
Sarah El Deeb, AP journalist
tweets: Lines longer in down town Cairo and after sunset #egypreselex
Yolande Knell BBC News, Cairo
tweets: Egyptians do love a joke. One man coming out of polling station tells me, "I hope after all this we don't get a Tony Blair" #egyelections
Voting has been extended by one hour until 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT), state-run Nile TV has reported.
Adam Makary al-Jazeera producer
tweets: Official sources say voter turnout has started to increase in #Suez. By 730pm, likely to rise to 25%. Polls close at 8. Tomorrow-another day
Islam Issa Birmingham
writes: "If I was not an Egyptian, I would have wished to be an Egyptian."
That concludes our coverage of the first day of Egypt's historic presidential elections. Polls are due to open again tomorrow at 08:00 local time (06:00 GMT), when we will be back with more live coverage.

This is just a reminder that there is no Spokane Valley City Council meeting tonight. Instead council members are taking turns today manning a Spokane Valley booth at the Spokane County Interstate Fair. Today is officially Spokane Valley Day at the Fair in celebration of the city's 10th anniversary. Any concidence that today is the 10th? Probably not. So if you just can't last week without a dose of city politics, head over to the fairgrounds at Broadway and Havana.

Abdullah, Johari Jiken (1993) Postpartum Reproductive Performance Of Kedah Kelantan Cattle And Its Crossbreds. Masters thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
The calving interval of 286 Kedah-Kelantan (KK) cattle and KK crossbreds were obtained from the individual cow breeding records from a crossbreeding project between 1988 to 1990 at Livestock Research Centre MARDI, Kluang, Johore. Postpartum ovarian activity and fertility in 80 suckled cows were studied using clinical observation and progesterone radioimmunoassay. The effect of restricted suckling period on the subsequent reproductive performance of the cows and the growth of their calves were investigated using 46 Kedah-Kelantan and KK cross bred cows.The objectives of these studies were to compare the calving interval and the postpartum ovarian activity and fertility of KK crosses to that of straightbred KK and to evaluate the effect of restricted suckling period on the subsequent reproductive performance of the cows as well as their calves growth performance. The present results showed that the KK and KK crossbred cows had satisfactory reproductive performance. The mean calving intervals of KK, Brahman-KK (BK), Rereford-KK (RK) and Friesian-KK (FK) were 12.6+0.1, 12.4+0. 14, 11.9+0 . 11 and 12.3+0. 14 months, respectively. The first calving interval tended to be the longest, while the fourth, fifth and sixth calving interval tended to be the shortest.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Ryan Church hit a pinch-hit two-run homer as part of a six-run seventh inning and the Atlanta Braves cruised past the San Francisco Giants, 11-3, in the opener of a four-game series at Turner Field.
Chipper Jones hit a two-run homer and Garret Anderson added a solo shot for the Braves, who came into the series after taking three of four from the New York Mets. Atlanta has won eight of 11 overall. Church went 2-for-2 with three RBI.
Tommy Hanson (5-0) earned the win after pitching seven solid innings. The young righty allowed three runs on five hits, walked three and struck out a career-high 11.
Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar was named the National League Player of the Week for the period ending July 19 earlier on Monday. He finished 2-for-3 with a run scored.
"Tip your cap to Tommy, he pitched a heck of a ball game," Church said. "We scored runs and got him a win. He pitched a great game and just shows what this offense has got."
Randy Winn had a pair of hits, including a two-run double for San Francisco, which has dropped four of its last five.
Giants center fielder Aaron Rowand left in bottom of the eighth with an arm injury. He finished with a sacrifice fly.
Jonathan Sanchez who was making his first start since no-hitting San Diego on July 10, did not factor in the decision after surrendering three runs on four hits. He fanned eight and walked a batter. Sergio Romo (2-1) gave up four runs in the sixth to take the loss.
"I felt the same. I warmed up like I did last time and I was confident," Sanchez said. "The home run was bad location. I went out there and did what I had to do and battled."
A two-out, two-run double by Winn with the bases loaded in the top of the second gave the Giants the early lead, but Anderson cracked a solo homer into the right-field seats in the home half to make it a 2-1 game.
Atlanta then went ahead in the third on Jones' two-run homer that just cleared the left-center field wall.
After Hanson retired 14 straight batters, the Giants were able to tie the game in the top of the seventh thanks in part to some shaky fielding from the Braves. Juan Uribe hit a shallow pop up to center, but Nate McLouth lost sight of the ball and it dropped behind him. A hustling Uribe made it all the way around to third for a triple. Pinch-hitter Fred Lewis drew a walk before Rowand knocked in a run with a sac fly.
Romo (2-1) replaced Sanchez for the home half and gave up back-to-back singles to Escobar and Anderson. Matt Diaz then stepped up and laced a triple to right that brought in a pair and an RBI single by Casey Kotchman put the Braves in front 6-3. Justin Miller then took over for Romo and served up a two-run home run to Church and later in the inning a run-scoring single from Brian McCann stretched the Atlanta advantage to 9-3.
Mike Gonzalez pitched a scoreless top of the eighth and the Braves tacked on two more in the bottom portion. An RBI single by Church and sac fly from McLouth made it 11-3. Kris Medlen got the final three outs in the top of the ninth.

Looked a good option but we need a bit better quality video recording for what they want to do. Any other options?
I'm going to jump in on this topic because we currently use Flip Cams in school and we're looking to get something better in- preferably something a little more rugged but no more than £80 - £100 each and also something that doesn't require video conversion to use in Movie Maker. x Any ideas?
We brought a few of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Bloggie.../dp/B0043XYXMQ to replace the flips and they seen to work well and we can get still images now.
We've plumped for the bloggies! Cheers everyone I will let you know how it goes x
