Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak arrived at court in Cairo on Tuesday. A judge last week gave the prosecution and defence until February 16 to make their case in the trial.

The prosecution have demanded the maximum penalty – the death sentence - for Mubarak and his former interior minister, Habib al-Adly for their role in the killing of protesters during the revolution which toppled them last February.
