A new interim government, led by the army general who removed Mohammed Morsi, has been sworn in.

General Abdel Fattah al-Sis will be the deputy Prime Minister as well as Defence Minister, whilst Hazem al-Beblawi will be the new Prime Minister under President Adly Mansour.

Meanwhile pro-Morsi protesters have clashed with Egyptian police in Cairo overnight.

The Muslim Brotherhood has deemed the interim government "illegitimate".

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
