Egyptian protesters expand their protest beyond Tahrir Square to the Egyptian Parliament on Feb. 9, 2011.

Protests remain strong in Egypt with striking workers joining in and even bigger actions planned for this Friday. Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman issued a threat Tuesday, saying there could be a coup if protesters don't engage in dialogue with the government soon. New York Times reporter Mona El Naggar joins us from Cairo to discuss the latest developments.
