Egypt's Military Council has said the country's constitution must be upheld after the new president Mohammed Mursi defied the decision by the council to dissolve parliament. On president Mursi's orders, the speaker convened the meeting at the parliament on Tuesday. Jon Leyne reports from Cairo.
埃及军事委员会称,由于新总统穆尔西无视委员会,决定解散议会,将暂停实施本国的宪法。总统穆尔西下令周二在议会召集会议。

Those words will infuriate their critics who say that is exactly what the military themselves have failed to do. It follows the decision by the president to recall parliament in direct defiance of the Military Council. Earlier, some MPs were allowed back into the parliament building for the first time since the assembly was dissolved and the military guard placed outside.
