Ruto to hear ICC case against him today

Kenya's Vice-President William Ruto is due to find out whether a crimes against humanity case against him at the International Criminal Court (ICC) will be heard.

Mr Ruto denies murder, deportation and persecution charges during violence that followed the 2007 elections in which about 1,200 people were killed. His lawyers demand that the case be terminated due to a lack of evidence.

Mr Ruto is one of the most senior politicians to be tried by the ICC to date.
