Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi has issued a constitutional decree that his critics say effectively returns Egypt back to one-man rule.

He also sacked the chief prosecutor and ordered the retrial of people accused of attacking protesters during the overthrow of the previous regime of Hosni Mubarak.
