EGYPT DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY

BBC
Egypt's presidency has declared a state of emergency after scores of people were killed when security forces stormed protest camps in Cairo.
The camps had been occupied by supporters of former president Mohammed Morsi, who was deposed in early July.
Security forces say 95 people have been killed, but the Muslim Brotherhood says hundreds have died, reports the BBC.

The state of emergency will begin at 16:00 local time (1400 GMT), and last for a month.
