There have been demonstrations across Egypt in protest at the sweeping powers assumed by President Mohamed Morsi.

Morsi issued a decree on Thursday, giving himself and other bodies immunity from any legal challenge.

Critics have accused him of becoming another dictator.

But speaking to his supporters just a few hours ago, Morsi said he was protecting the goals of the revolution.
