Egypt football clashes leaves many dead

At least 74 people have been killed in clashes between rival football fans in the Egyptian city of Port Said.

Scores were injured as fans, reportedly armed with knives, invaded the pitch after a match between top-tier clubs al-Masry and al-Ahly.

Emergency meetings of the cabinet and parliament are taking place and three days of national mourning have been declared.
