Egypt - Back to square one as president Morsi rejects army's 48-hour ultimatum

Egypt's president has rejected an army ultimatum that the country's crisis be resolved by Wednesday, amid deadly protests across the capital.

It is clear he expects the military to depose him in the coming hours, says the BBC's Aleem Maqbool in Cairo.
