From PRI, Public Radio International and KCRW Santa Monica, this is To the Point.

In Egypt, the stalemate continues.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

The Egyptian government wants

business as usual, but protesters in Cairo's aren't giving an inch, and they're considering

increased demonstrations in other cities. Vice President Suleiman met yesterday with a group

including the Muslim Brotherhood, and each side has a different version of what really went on.

Protest leaders are particularly skeptical about Washington's call for an orderly

transition, saying that sounds like a recipe for continued repression. We'll have an update from

Tahrir Square. Here are different estimates of possible outcomes and why Egypt is so important to American

interests. On reporter's notebook later on, AOL buys the Huffington Post $315 million.

First, here's the news.

consequences might be for Egypt and the Middle East. On reporter's notebook, AOL is buying the

Huffington Post for $315 million, which brand will be the most affected.
