Anti-government protesters react to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's televised statement to his nation in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, Egypt, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he is handing his powers over to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, and ordered constitutional amendments Thursday.
But the move means he retains his title of president and ensures regime control over the reform process, falling short of protester demands. Protesters in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, hoping he would announce his resignation outright, reacted in fury and disbelief.

Lawyers wearing masks reading "Forbidden of Expression", demonstrate alongside judges in front of the Justice Palace in Nice, France, Thursday Feb. 10, 2011, during a national protest by judges and lawyers against recent criticism by French President Nicolas Sarkozy of the legal system.
The French president's incautious comments about the suspect in a murder case, and his complaints of incompetence in the legal system, have sparked a revolt among judges, prosecutors and lawyers. Protesting magistrates have shut down almost all the country's courthouses this week, with courts hearing only urgent cases.
