The head of Egypt's Election Committee has said that a planned vote on Saturday by Egyptians living abroad on a controversial draft constitution has been delayed. It comes as tens of thousands of protesters have again gathered near the presidential palace to demand that the referendum for all Egyptians due on Dec.15 be postponed. Sebastian Usher reports.

埃及选举委员会主席称，原计划周六举行的有关争议颇多的海外埃及人宪法草案投票已经推迟。原因是数十万抗议者再次聚集总统官邸附近，要求推迟定于12月15日的全埃及人投票。Sebastian Usher报道。

The news with the referendum vote by Egyptian expatriates won't now start on Saturday leaves some space for the dialogue that President Mursi has urged with the opposition, but it isn't enough itself. His Vice President Mahmud Mekki now appears to suggest that the president might postpone the referendum altogether if it's legally possible to do so. This is the key demand of the protesters who are out in full force again near the presidential palace. Opposition leaders earlier rejected the president's invitation for dialogue on Saturday. They would want more concrete concessions to persuade them that it is worth their while.
