Mubarak trial adjourns
The judge in the murder and corruption trial of Egypt's ex-president Hosni Mubarak adjourned the hearing yesterday to the next day to hear the prosecution's arguments.
The fallen dictator was wheeled into court on a stretcher as his trial for the deaths of protesters during the uprising that ousted him in February.
The next hearings will take place over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Mubarak, 83, faces execution if he is convicted of the murder charge. He suffers from a heart condition and is detained in a military hospital on Cairo's outskirts.
His trial resumed last week after a three month hiatus that saw the country's first parliamentary election since his ouster.
