Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court has overruled president Mohammed Mursi's decision to reconvene parliament. Parliaments have met on Tuesday in defiance of the country's military council which ordered the dissolution after an earlier ruling by the court. Jon Leyne reports.
This decision by the constitutional court was expected by many experts. The court had already ruled that parliamentary elections were unconstitutional, a ruling that started the crisis and led the military council to dissolve parliament. What the lawyers will still have to decide is what happens next. According to some commentators, just by meeting today parliament may have transferred its powers from military to the president. So it will become a complicated legal wrangle that could go on for months or years.
Lawyers for the widow of Yasser Arafat say she will file a legal complain in France asking authorities to investigate his death after a television documentary alleged that he was poisoned.
Palestinian authorities gave final approval on Monday for late Palestinian leader's body to be exhumed and asked for an international inquiry into his death in a French military hospital in 2004.

The British government has delayed plans to reform the upper chamber of parliament-the House of Lords, just hours before a key vote. Dozens of MPs from the main coalition party-the Conservatives have threatened to join the opposition Labor party in voting to block the legislation. The reform is a key policy for the Conservatives junior partners the Liberal Democrats. The foreign secretary William Hague says the government will pressure ahead with these plans.
"We expect a substantial majority for the second reading of the bill. That is a moment hasn't happened in last hundreds years of debating the House of Lords reform. That isn't itself a big step forward. It will be quite wrong to withdraw a bill that has such support."
An indigenous leader in southwestern Colombia has urged the security forces, the members of the Columbia's largest rebel group the Farc, to take their fight elsewhere. Ten people have been killed and hundreds of trenches destroyed over the past a couple of days as well rebels shelled the town in an attempt to take its police station. Vanessa Buschschluter reports.
Members of the Nasa, Guambiano and Paez tribes said that the latest attack was the last straw . They demanded that both the Colombian security forces and the rebels leave their ancestral lands and take the fight to areas where civilians wouldn't get hurt. An indigenous commission marched to the rebel camps and gave them a two-week deadline. Another delegation removed the sand bags protecting the police station and threw them into the river. The tribes told Colombian officials they wanted to assume control of the area themselves.
