The election authorities in Egypt say the results of the presidential run-off between the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi and the former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik have been delayed. The results were scheduled to be announced on Thursday, but the election commission said it needed more time to review hundreds of complaints filed by the rival candidates. Both men claim to have won last weekend's poll. Nader Omran of the Muslim Brotherhood spoke to the BBC from Tahrir Square.
"I think it's so clear. It's so obvious, and reports were there two days ago on this. I think there's no need to delay it. This will bring more and more tension to the people, and they'll be more nervous waiting for one or two or three days for that. So I think it's much better for them to end this story tomorrow."
The leader of the party that narrowly won Sunday's general election in Greece has been
sworn in
as prime minister, raising hopes of an end to the country's political and economic
turmoil
. Antonis Samaras of the centre-right New Democracy party promised to do everything to overcome the Greek economic crisis. Mark Lowen is in Athens.
In a solemn traditional ceremony Antonis Samaras was sworn in by the
archbishop
of Greece as the country's new prime minister. He said his goal was to take Greece out of its financial crisis and to restore hope. Mr Samaras will lead a coalition government of three parties. The first task will be to attend a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg on Thursday, in which Greece will try to re-negotiate some terms of its international bailout.
