Not much of anything, according to the Fox News interpreter at Tahrir Square, just before they cut off his mic. Mubarak said something "vague" (translator's word) about recognizing the need for a transfer of authority. But he's clearly planning to stick around. And "not take orders" from "foreign countries"/"outsiders." Hmmm. I wonder who he means by that. Maybe the guy who was sort of almost taking a victory lap over the (obviously erroneous) reports that Mubarak was stepping down. Oops.
The protesters don't sound at all happy.
Update: As usual, a) there's a lot of misinformation/misunderstanding out there about what Mubarak said and b) you really want to read Barry Rubin's take.
