Egypt's ousted former President Mohammed Morsi is reported to have arrived at a court venue in Cairo where he is due to go on trial.

He and 14 other Muslim Brotherhood figures face charges of inciting the killing of protesters in clashes outside the presidential palace.

Security services are on high alert after supporters of the former president called for major protests.

Mr Morsi was ousted by the military in July after protests against his rule.

State TV said he arrived at the courtroom, believed to be at the Police Academy in Cairo, with other key Brotherhood figures, Essam el-Erian, Mohammed al-Beltagi and Ahmed Abdel Aati.
