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.

The statement by the Military Council is being seen by some as a warning to president Mursi. There for the most part, the military are just defending their own decision to dissolve parliament and take most its powers to themselves. The military said they expected all parts of the government to respect the constitution. Those words will

infuriate

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.

A survivor of a massacre in Bosnia has become the first prosecution witness in the genocide trial of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic. The witness, Elvedin Pasic, gave a dramatic account over an attack by Serb forces on his home village in northern Bosnia in 1992. He told the court in The Hague that he and his family fled through a small window while bullets flew outside their house. He later returned to find homes burn down and the child bodies of old people who wouldn't be able to escape.
