Clashes Outside Egypt Presidential Palace In Cairo -- BBC
Police in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, have clashed with protesters angry at what they say is the rushed drafting of a new constitution and by President Morsi's recent extension of his powers.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered outside the presidential palace.
The police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, some of whom managed to cut through barbed wire around the palace.
Mr Morsi was in the palace but left as the crowds grew, sources there said.
Many of those gathered outside the palace, in the suburb of Heliopolis, chanted slogans similar to those directed against the regime of former President Hosni Mubarak during the uprising in February 2011.
