Egypt swears in new interim government

Egypt has sworn in a new government, led by Kamal el-Ganzouri, who was appointed interim prime minister by the military council two weeks earlier.

The previous cabinet resigned last month during clashes between police and protesters demanding that the army step aside.

The military council has also issued a decree handing over more power and authority to the prime minister.

From Cairo, Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports.
