Protesters denouncing Egypt's Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates today, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Mursi's symbolic doorstep for the first time.

The march on the palace in an upscale district of the capital was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Mursi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots.
