Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has declared a 30-day state of emergency and a night-time curfew in three cities along the Suez Canal that have seen deadly clashes in recent days. In a televised address late on Sunday, Morsi said the emergency measures in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez would take effect on Monday from 9pm local time (1900 GMT) to 6am (0400 GMT), warning to take more action to stem the latest eruption of violence across much of the country. Meanwhile, in Port Said, at least seven people were killed and 630 others injured on Sunday during the funerals of people killed at the weekend in clashes triggered by death sentences on supporters of a local football team.

www.euronews.com Thousands of people have gathered in Tahrir square in Cairo on the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak. They are angry because they believe that the revolution they fought for has not delivered. Opponents of Mohammed Mursi, the elected Islamist president, say he is trampling on the new democracy. Egyptian film director, Khaled Yousseff is one of those calling for change: "Today is a continuation of the revolution's demands represented in the fact that the people will not rest until these demands are complete," he said, "at the forefront of which is the ousting of the current regime which does not represent the goals or spirit of the revolution." Riot police fired teargas at protesters trying to cross barricades around the presidential palace. In Alexandria more protestors were hurt in clashes with police. At least 61 civilians and 32 riot police have been reported injured across the country. Critics say Egypt's new constitution gives the president too much power and does little to protect human rights. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com
