In the lawmaking lower house, the Muslim Brotherhood wins nearly half the seats, and ultraconservative Salafis take another quarter.

May 23-24, 2012 - The first round of voting in presidential elections has a field of 13 candidates. Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Mubarak, emerge as the top two finishers, to face each other in a runoff.

Nov. 30 - Islamists in the constituent assembly rush to complete the draft of the constitution. Morsi sets a Dec. 15 date for a referendum.

Dec. 4 - More than 100,000 protesters march on the presidential palace, demanding the cancellation of the referendum and the writing of a new constitution. The next day, Islamists attack an anti-Morsi sit-in, sparking street battles that leave at least 10 dead.

July 2 - Military officials disclose main details of the army's plan if no agreement is reached: replacing Morsi with an interim administration, canceling the Islamist-based constitution and calling elections in a year. Morsi delivers a late-night speech in which he pledges to defend his legitimacy and vows not to step down.

July 3 - Egypt's military chief announces that Morsi has been deposed, to be replaced by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court until new presidential elections. No time frame is given. Muslim Brotherhood leaders are arrested.

July 4 - Supreme Constitutional Court Chief Justice Adly Mansour is sworn in as Egypt's interim president.

July 5 - Mansour dissolves the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament as Morsi's supporters stage mass protests demanding his return. Clashes between pro- and anti-Morsi groups in Cairo and Alexandria, and violence elsewhere leave at least 36 dead. A Brotherhood strongman, deputy head Khairat el-Shater, is arrested.

July 8 - Egyptian soldiers open fire on Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators in front of a military base in Cairo, killing more than 50. Each side blames the other for starting the clash. The Brotherhood calls for an uprising against the military. Mansour puts forward a time line for amending the constitution and electing a new president and parliament by mid-February. The Brotherhood refuses to participate in the process.

July 9 - Mansour appoints economist Hazem el-Beblawi as prime minister and opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei as vice president. A military announcement backs up the appointments.

July 26 - Millions pour into the streets of Egypt in rival demonstrations after a call by the country's military chief for protesters to give him a mandate to stop "potential terrorism" by supporters of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. Five people are killed in clashes. Prosecutors announce Morsi is under investigation for a host of allegations including murder and conspiracy with the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

MADAyuMadyan - Santiago de Compostela, Sepanyol (AP) ‘Pemandu kereta api Sepanyol yang disyaki pembunuhan cuai’ Menteri Dalam Negeri Sepanyol mengumumkan pada Sabtu bahawa pemandu yang memandu laju terhempas gerabak, membunuh 78 orang, kini ditahan kerana disyaki pembunuhan cuai.

Menteri Dalam Negeri Jorge Fernandez Diaz mengumumkan langkah terhadap Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, yang sebelum ini telah ditahan kerana disyaki perbuatan melulu selepas kemalangan Rabu di Santiago de Compostela.

"Terdapat bukti rasional untuk membawa kita untuk berfikir bahawa pemandu boleh mempunyai tanggungjawab akhirnya," kata menteri itu kepada pemberita di balai polis di bandar ini. Fernandez Diaz juga berkata Garzon, 52, telah keluar dari hospital, dibawa ke balai polis dan akan hadir di hadapan seorang hakim petang Ahad.

Garzon mempunyai hak untuk berdiam diri, "walaupun dia boleh pada itu menukar fikiran," kata menteri itu. Tuduhan semakin jatuh pada pemandu, dengan agensi kereta api di negara ini berkata ia adalah tanggungjawab beliau untuk brek sebelum pergi ke keluk yang berisiko tinggi di mana kereta api jatuh dari landasan dan merempuh dinding. Tetapi ia masih tidak jelas sama ada brek gagal atau tidak pernah digunakan, dan pemandu telah diam setakat ini.

Garzon darah bercurah kelihatan difoto Rabu diiringi dari bangkai kereta api, pada mulanya oleh orang awam yang telah bergegas ke tempat kejadian dan kemudian oleh polis, tetapi ia tidak jelas apa status perubatan beliau.

Laporan media yang belum disahkan mengatakan bahawa Garzon tercedera tulang rusuk. Beliau telah dijangka untuk memberi kenyataan kepada polis awal kehakiman seawal Khamis, tetapi proses itu ditangguhkan, dilaporkan atas sebab-sebab kesihatan. Terdahulu Sabtu, jabatan keadilan berkata penampilan pertama Garzon sebelum hakim telah ditangguhkan sehingga Ahad.

Dalam kemalangan Rabu, lapan gerabak kereta api yang penuh dengan 218 penumpang ternyala jauh melebihi had laju ke keluk dan ganas disebut-sebut lebih. Minyak diesel menghantar api pemburuan melalui beberapa kabin.

Penyiasat memeriksa alat-alat rakaman dari kereta api tetapi tidak secara rasmi berkata berapa cepat ia akan apabila ia tergelincir. Penumpang Amerika, Stephen Ward, berkata beliau menonton kelajuan kereta api pada skrin paparan dalam garabak - dan ia membayangkan bahawa akan ia 194 kph (121 mph), lebih 2 kali ganda had laju 80 kilometer sejam.

Presiden Adif, agensi kereta api Sepanyol, berkata bahawa pemandu sepatutnya mula memperlahankan kereta api 4 kilometer (2.5 batu) sebelum selekoh berbahaya. Beliau berkata, tanda-tanda jelas menandakan titik ini apabila pemandu mestilah perlahan.

Biasanya, polis mengambil kenyataan pertama yang kemudiannya diperiksa oleh hakim penyiasat yang kemudian mesti mengambil bukti dalam masa 72 jam penangkapan itu. Bahawa tarikh akhir adalah hari Ahad. Walaupun bahawa pendengaran mahkamah awal akan ditutup, ia akan memberikan petunjuk tentang status siasatan. Hakim akan membuat keputusan sama ada untuk penjarakan pemandu sebagai suspek rasmi, melepaskannya atas jaminan, atau melepaskan dia tanpa caj. Jika hakim mendapati bukti yang mencukupi untuk perbicaraan jenayah, suspek akan dikenakan dan menetapkan tarikh perbicaraan.

Spain train driver suspected of negligent homicide

MADAyuMadyan - SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) Spain's interior minister announced Saturday that the driver whose speeding train crashed, killing 78 people, is now being held on suspicion of negligent homicide.

Minister of Interior Jorge Fernandez Diaz announced the step against Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, who previously had been detained on suspicion of recklessness following Wednesday's crash in Santiago de Compostela.

"There is rational evidence to lead us to think that the driver could have eventual responsibility," the minister told reporters at the city's police station. Fernandez Diaz also said Garzon, 52, has been discharged from the hospital, taken to the police station and would appear before a judge by Sunday evening.

Garzon has the right to keep silent, "although he may change his mind on that," the minister said. Blame has increasingly fallen on the driver, with the country's railway agency saying it was his responsibility to brake before going into the high-risk curve where the train tumbled off the rails and smashed into a wall. But it's still not clear whether the brakes failed or were never used, and the driver has remained silent so far.

A blood-soaked Garzon was photographed Wednesday being escorted away from the wreckage, at first by civilians who had hurried to the scene of the accident and then by police, but it is not clear just what his medical status is.

Unconfirmed media reports said that Garzon had injured ribs. He had been expected to give a preliminary statement to judicial police as early as Thursday, but that process was delayed, reportedly due to health reasons. Earlier Saturday, the justice department said Garzon's first appearance before a judge had been postponed until Sunday.

In Wednesday's crash, the train's eight carriages packed with 218 passengers blazed far over the speed limit into a curve and violently tipped over. Diesel fuel sent flames coursing through some cabins.

Investigators are examining recording devices from the train but have not officially said how fast it was going when it derailed. An American passenger, Stephen Ward, said he was watching the train's speed on a display screen in the carriage - and it indicated it was going 194 kph (121 mph), more than double the 80-kph speed limit.

The president of Adif, the Spanish rail agency, said that the driver should have started slowing the train 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) before the dangerous bend. He said signs clearly marked this point when the driver must begin to slow.

Normally, police take a first statement that is then examined by an investigating judge who must then take testimony within 72 hours of the arrest. That deadline is Sunday. Although that initial court hearing would be closed, it would give hints about the status of the investigation. The judge would decide whether to jail the driver as an official suspect, release him on bail, or release him without charges. If a judge finds sufficient evidence for a criminal trial, the suspect will be charged and a trial date set.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) Investigators have taken possession of the "black boxes" of the Spain train that hurtled at high-speed along a curve and derailed, killing 80 people, a court official said Friday.

Analysis will be performed to determine why the train was traveling far above the speed limit when it crashed near a station in Santiago de Compostela, in the northwestern Galicia, said court spokeswoman Maria Pardo Rios. She declined comment on how long the analysis will take.

The boxes record all trip data from trains, including speed and distances and are similar to flight recorders for airplanes. The train's operator remained hospitalized Friday and will be questioned by police but she said the interview will not happen Friday.

By Friday, all but seven victims in the crash had been identified in a makeshift morgue in Santiago de Compostela. DNA analysis will be used to identify the remaining victims, Pardo Rios said. By all accounts, the train was going way too fast as it curled around a gentle bend. Then in an instant, one car tumbled off the track, followed by the rest of the locomotive, which seemed to come apart like a zipper being pulled.
