John Kerry says Egypt army is 'restoring democracy'

US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Egypt's military was "restoring democracy" when it ousted elected President Mohammed Morsi last month.

Mr Kerry said the removal was at the request of "millions and millions of people".

His remarks came as police prepare to disperse two pro-Morsi sit-ins in the capital, Cairo.

Egypt's interior ministry has promised Mr Morsi's supporters "safe exit" if they quickly leave the camps.
