Former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, has appeared in court for the first time to face allegations of corruption and the killing of protesters during the uprising that overthrew his rule. Mubarak arrived at the Cairo court on a hospital stretcher, which was brought into a caged area inside the courtroom. Appearing with his sons, Gamal and Alaa, Mubarak denied all charges against him. The trial is being broadcast live on Egyptian television. Large crowds have gathered outside the courtroom and across Cairo to witness the proceedings.
