Egypt

Egypt's Health Ministry is raising the death toll in Wednesday's violence in the streets of Cairo.

Egypt's interior minister says 43 policemen have been killed in clashes with supporters of the ousted Islamist president. That raises the overall death toll for today to nearly 200.

At least 40 people have been killed in clashes outside a military building in Cairo where supporters of the former president were holding a sit-in.

At least one person is dead after Egyptian troops opened fire on mostly Islamist protesters marching on a Republican Guard headquarters today in Cairo.

White House officials say President Barack Obama's national security team is briefing the president on the upheaval in Egypt and their conversations by phone with leaders in the region.

The supreme justice of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court has been sworn in as the nation's interim president, replacing the Islamist Mohammed Morsi who was ousted by the military.

There's an old saying that someone will be "spinning in their grave". But for a British museum, that's taken on a whole new, unexplained meaning.

Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world? No restrictions. Money's not an issue. Time off from work doesn't matter. It's your wish list.
