Bad weather delays Morsi trial

Bad weather has delayed ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi’s helicopter flight from a prison in the country’s north to Cairo for the resumption of his trial on charges of inciting murder.

The trial of Egypt’s former president on charges of inciting murder has been adjourned until next month, after bad weather prevented a helicopter from taking him to court.

The helicopter, which was to fly Morsi from a prison near the Mediterranean city of Alexandria to eastern Cairo, could not take off because of fog. Judge Ahmed Sabry Youssef adjourned the proceedings until February 1.
