STORYLINE
Egypt's embattled president has said he will not step down prompting angry and defiant reactions from protesters around the country.
Addressing the nation in a speech carried live on state television into the early hours of Wednesday morning, Mohammed Morsi vowed to protect his "constitutional legitimacy" with his life and accused loyalists of his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, of riding the current wave of protests to topple his regime.
Morsi spoke hours before a deadline from the country's military to to yield to the demands of millions of protesters or see the military suspend the constitution, disband parliament and install a new leadership.
He demanded that the powerful armed forces withdraw their ultimatum.
Morsi's statement sets up a major confrontation between supporters of the president and Egyptians angry over what they see as his efforts to impose control by his Muslim Brotherhood, as well as his failure to introduce reforms more than two years after the revolution Mubarak.
"He didn't respect anyone who is here and in other squares," said Abdul Hamid, one of thousands of protesters gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square to watch the president's speech.
"He came out with a speech to provoke us, not to calm us. He is threatening us but I'm sending him a message from here: 'Egyptians will never be scared'," he added.
In Alexandria's Sidi Gaber Square, the president's speech was broadcast on a screen to huge crowds.
Protesters responded to his words with chants of "we will not leave" and "the people demand the fall of the regime".
"The president was targeting his followers and his Muslim Brotherhood in his speech. He is ruling in their favour and he does not put the rest of the people into consideration," said protester Mohammad Saied.
"We will remain in the square unless he steps down," he added.
Egypt's military has given Morsi until Wednesday to find an agreement with his opponents.
Security and hospital officials said that seven people have been killed on Tuesday in clashes between supporters and opponents of Morsi in Cairo.
