The former leader of Egypt Hosni Mubarak is to go on trial for a third time over the killing of protestors in 2011.
The 87 year old was originally convicted of the killing of 800 protestors and jailed for life, before his conviction was overturned and a new trial ordered. The case was then subsequently dropped by the judge before the prosecution successfully appealed the decision. The case now goes to trial for the third time.
Mr Mubarak, who ruled for 3 decades, has been in ill health and been held in military hospitals in the country. He was also separately convicted of corruption and sentenced to three years in jail earlier this year, a time he has already served being held in custody.
Officially 846 people were killed during the 18 days of protest in 2001 that led to Mr Mubarak stepping down.
