An adviser to the interim president, Ahmed al-Muslimani, said that: "There is still no exact date for the nomination of a Prime Minister or for the formation of a government." "Negotiations are still ongoing," he added, noting that representatives of the "Muslim Brotherhood will allowed to participate in the elections."

The report followed Egypt's second biggest Islamist group, which had initially backed a military-led political roadmap to guide the country to new elections, opposing the nomination of liberal politician ElBaradei.
The military ousted Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday, and his Muslim Brotherhood movement has led protests in which dozens of people have been killed.
US rejects accusations of interfering in the situation in Egypt
US President Barack Obama condemned the violence in Egypt, and also rejected the "false" accusations of meddling in the internal affairs of the country, said the White House. President Barack Obama held a telephone conference with the National Security Council on the situation in Egypt, according to the White House.
"The president has condemned the continuing violence in Egypt and expressed concern about the ongoing political standoff. He reiterated that the US does not support any particular political party or group in Egypt", - stated in the message.
The report also states that "The United States strongly reject false claims promoted by some in Egypt, as if we are working with certain political parties to dictate how the political transformation must go to Egypt."
At the request of the U.S. administration, the future of Egypt can be determined only by the people of the country. US will support the country's transition to a stable democratic government, according to the White House.
The United States also urged all Egyptian leaders to condemn the violence and to take measures to stop it.
Last Wednesday, the Egyptian military suspended the constitution, the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, faced with unprecedented popular protests, and promised to hold early elections for a new president. Egyptian Islamists do not agree with these solutions and are demanding the return of power to an elected president.
Egypt's prosecutor's office detained bureau chief of Al-Jazeera TV channel in Cairo
Egypt's prosecutor's office on Saturday detained bureau chief for the Qatari satellite channel "Al Jazeera" Abdel-Fattah Fayed in Cairo, Egyptian media reported. He imputed actions that pose a threat to national security and civil peace.
Earlier, the police conducted searches and seizures at the office of TV channel Al Jazeera Mubasher Masr, which broadcasts from Egypt.
TV channel's management was accused of the fact that the channel broadcasts without the permission of the authorities, thus violating the laws of Egypt.
Measures against representatives of the Cairo TV channel Al Jazeera were taken after the military oustered President Mohammed Morsi.
Al-Jazeera since the reign of Hosni Mubarak has provided information support to the Egyptian Islamists, in particular to the Muslim Brotherhood by providing them with on air broadecast at the time when state television access was closed.
ElBaradei picked as new Egypt PM: anti-Morsi movement
Liberal opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei has been chosen as Egypt's new prime minister, the Tamarod campaign behind the protests that toppled Islamist president Mohamed Morsi said on Saturday after talks with the country's interim president.
A military source confirmed to AFP that the former UN nuclear watchdog chief was to be sworn in as premier later on Saturday, three days after the army overthrew Morsi.
The official MENA news agency said ElBaradei was in talks with interim leader Adly Mansour.
Tamarod had nominated ElBaradei to represent the movement in transition negotiations with the military.
ElBaradei, who won the Nobel peace prize in 2005 for his work with International Atomic Energy Agency, returned to Egypt in 2010 and became a prominent opponent of veteran strongman Hosni Mubarak in the lead-up to the 2011 uprising that overthrew him.
Egyptian president meets army chief after clashes kill 36
Egyptian interim President Adly Mansour held talks with army chief and Defence Minister Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday, after clashes killed at least 36 nationwide.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim and Mansour's three advisors, appointed on Friday, also attended the meeting, which is the first held by Mansour in the presidential Ittihadiya palace, state media reported.
Mansour was sworn in on Thursday, when the army ousted president Mohammed Morsi a day earlier following unprecedented protests by millions of Egyptians who demanded his resignation and early presidential elections.
Followers of the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies vowed to continue protesting until the Islamist former president's reinstatement.
Clashes began Friday in Cairo when Brotherhood supporters wanted to stage a sit-in around the Nile-side state television headquarters near Tahrir Square.
Mohamed Sultan, head of Egypt's Ambulance Authority, said 36 people were killed in violence that erupted between backers of Morsi and his opponents.
At least 16 of them were killed by gunshots in the head and chest, he added. Clashes also injured more than 1,000 people.
Fighting also broke out in the northern city of Alexandria, the eastern al-Arish, among other provinces.
Dozens of protesters continued their sit-in at the provincial headquarters in al-Arish on Saturday, a day after hundreds of Morsi's supporters stormed the building.
Security sources said troops tried to prevent them, but retreated after 18 people were injured by gunshots, to prevent further bloodshed.
Morsi became Egypt's first democratically elected president last year after winning the polls with a narrow margin.
The opposition accused him of being keen on tightening the Muslim Brotherhood's hold on power and becoming a dictator.

Egypt’s ex-President Morsi accused of high treason

A famous Egyptian liberal and social activist submitted an application to the court accusing ex-President Mohamed Morsi and the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood of high treason.
In his opinion, the Islamists provided members of the Islamist organization Hamas with arms and prepared provocations against Egypt’s citizens.
Meanwhile, experts don’t exclude the possibility that an interim government might disappoint the Egyptian people as the previous one did. In this case, the country will face another bloody revolution.
Egypt experienced a series of bloody clashes two years ago.
Andrei Korotaev, a member of the Institute of Oriental Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, gave an interview to us in which he expressed hope that it wouldn’t happen again.
“Unfortunately, we can’t exclude the possibility of civil war right now. But I do hope that the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood will be wise enough in the current situation. It would be to their advantage to act like a legal opposition,” he said.
Al-Arabyia analysts believe that the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood are reproached for “revolution ideals betrayal” as they betrayed their pledges and used power for their own goals. Their attempts to become a new symbol of Egypt provoked people’s anger.
Time journalists, in their turn, note that the US president’s administration was also disappointed with former President Morsi. At the same time, the White House opposed the removal of a legally-elected president and the US State Department condemned clashes in Egypt.
Yesterday, after Friday prayers, the demonstration of pro-Morsi supporters in Cairo resulted in mass clashes. Mohamed Morsi’s supporters were trying to storm the Republican Guard’s headquarters, where the ousted president is supposed to be held. In order to scatter the crowds troops, guarding the headquarters, opened fire on the demonstrators and fired tear-grenades.
Egypt’s military in control of situation
Unrest is growing in Egypt. On Friday, the supporters of the overthrown President Mohamed Morsi demanded in the wake of their Friday’s prayers that he be set free at once. Peaceful mass demonstrations turned into battles. The Army did manage to bring the riots under control, but tensions persist.
On Friday, Egypt saw a lot of street fighting between those opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood and President Mohammed Morsi, and their opponents, with the warring factions resorting to stones, clubs and knives. Dozens have been reported killed as a result, while hundreds have been injured across the country. Clashes proved the fiercest outside the Republican Guard building in Cairo, where the toppled President is believed to be held. The Army and police used water cannons and tear gas to stop the clashes. According to some sources, firearms were used in some places, but the military denies this. To show who is in charge, and also to lower the intensity of emotions, the Egyptian Army deployed heavy military hardware outside the buildings of the Foreign Ministry, the TV centre and the key bridges across the Nile. The situation in Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities that supported the Army moves can be referred to as quiet, compared to what is going on in the provinces that want Morsi back. This is what an expert of the Centre for Egypt Studies, Alexei Krol, says about it in his report from Egypt.
"The situation in some provinces is the direct opposite of the events in other provinces. Fencing in Cairo is covered with slogans “The people and the Police, the people and the Army are one hand”. In the Egyptian capital, crowds are throwing up Army officers to welcome them. I don’t think, Alexei Krol says in his report, that the Army and those who favoured Morsi’ resignation may come to be at odds in Cairo later. But in Upper Egypt, clashes are very likely between the opponents of the military coup and the Army. Three people have been shot dead in Al Minya, and their funeral triggered more protest. People are actually in a bustle there."
Meanwhile, the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood have been arrested on charges of instigating large-scale unrest. This is another reason why Islamists cannot be ignored during the setting up of a new Cabinet, since this would spark anti-government speculation, says political analyst Victor Kuvaldin, and elaborates.
"All forces should certainly be taken into account, Victor Kuvaldin says, which means that a dialogue should be built up with the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a question of political bargaining, of haggling over conditions, on which Islamist could join a new government. But those currently in power will never make concessions on what they see as principled positions, specifically the Islamization of Egypt
