Soldiers clear Egypt's Tahrir Square

Baton-wielding soldiers have cleared Egypt's Tahrir Square of protesters.

Troops went into central Cairo, close to parliament and cabinet offices, beating demonstrators and burning their tents.

Earlier, the military-appointed prime minister Kamal El-Ganzouri branded the protesters counter-revolutionaries.
