Mubarak suffers health scare
After his return, the only president a generation of Egyptians has known spoke for less than five minutes and then adjourned the parliament session.
"My brothers and sisters, members of the upper and lower houses of parliament, the people gave me the responsibility of building the future of this nation. And I did it with honour," said Mr Mubarak, who had been described as suffering a cold aggravated by fasting for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. After concluding the speech, he was driven away in a limousine.
