Egypt's interim leader has outlined his timetable for new elections, amid continuing unrest in the country.


Adly Mansour's decree says a panel to amend the constitution must be formed within 15 days and general elections could then be held by February.


This comes as at least 51 people were killed in the capital Cairo.


The Muslim Brotherhood says its members were fired on at a sit-in for ousted President Mohammad Morsi. The army says it responded to an armed provocation.


Mr Morsi, an Islamist and Egypt's first freely elected leader, was removed from office by the army last week after mass protests.


His supporters accuse the military of staging a coup, but his opponents say the move is the continuation of the revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
