Top Jusge of Egypt's Constitutional Court sworn in as temporary President
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23176401<snip>
The top judge of Egypt's Constitutional Court, Adly Mahmud Mansour, has been sworn in as interim leader, hours after the army ousted President Mohammed Morsi and put him under house arrest.
Mr Mansour praised the armed forces and the Egyptian people, saying the era of "worship of the ruler" should end.
Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, is under house arrest after what he says was a military coup.
The army said he had "failed to meet the demands of the people".
The upheaval comes after days of mass rallies against the Islamist president.
