Mubarak Refuses To Step Down

President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt says he’ll delegate more authority to his vice president, but does not want to step down, contradicting earlier reports that he would announce the end of his reign today.

In a nationally televised address following a tumultuous day of political rumors and conflicting reports, Mr. Mubarak said he would “admit mistakes” and honor the sacrifices of young people killed in the three-week uprising, but that he would continue to “shoulder my responsibilities” until September, and did not give a firm indication that he would cede political power.
