Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's retrial starts
The retrial of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has opened at a court in Cairo.
Mr Mubarak faces charges of complicity in the killings of protesters in the January 2011 uprising which overthrew him and of financial corruption. The trial has been adjourned until 8 June.
Mr Mubarak was convicted in June 2012 but a retrial was ordered on appeal.
State TV, which broadcast the trial live, said he entered court sitting on a stretcher.
