BBC: Thousands of people are gathering in Cairo's Tahrir Square to protest against a decision by the ruling military council to assume new powers.The protests have been called by the Muslim Brotherhood, as it claims its candidate Mohammed Mursi won last weekend's presidential election.
His rival, former PM Ahmed Shafiq, also says he has won.
As Egyptians voted, the generals dissolved parliament and claimed all legislative power for themselves.
Correspondents say the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) appears to be working on the assumption that Mr Mursi will win, and making moves designed to reduce or constrain the power of the president and entrench its own.
Activists have described the moves as a "military coup". » | Tuesday, June 19, 2012
