http://www.euronews.net/ Troops and protesters clashed in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Saturday -- a day after eight people died there in similar violence.

The violence happened outside the country's parliament. It follows the second round of voting in Egypt's three-stage parliamentary elections.

Riot police fired water cannons and used batons in a bid to disperse the crowd.

An estimated three hundred people have been injured in the latest unrest.

Violence that surrounded last month's mass protests left nearly 40 people dead.
