Mubarak trial resumes in Cairo

The trial of Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak has resumed in the capital, Cairo.

Mr Mubarak, 83, faces the death penalty if found guilty of ordering the killing of protesters in this year's uprising. He is also accused of corruption. The former leader - who was again wheeled into the courtroom on a hospital bed - denies all the charges.

Mr Mubarak is being tried with his sons Alaa and Gama, who are accused of corruption and also deny the charges. He was forced from office by mass demonstrations in February.

The session is likely to be dominated by legal arguments, BBC reported.
