Egyptian court has postponed a verdict in the retrial of Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak

Mubarak, 86, was in court alongside his sons and a former minister. The verdict has now been set for 29 November.

He was found guilty and sentenced to life in 2012, but the conviction was overturned on technical grounds.

Mubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30 years before being ousted in the uprising.

He stood down after weeks of unrest ended in the deaths of hundreds of protesters across the country.

The current retrial began in April 2013 and has been adjourned several times since.

The presiding judge said he needed more time to finish writing his verdict, after examining 160,000 pages of evidence.

Small groups of Mubarak supporters and relatives of the dead, some of whom were demanding his execution, waited outside the court.

A minor clash erupted when news emerged of the postponement.

But the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo says many Egyptians appear to have lost interest in the fate of the former leader who dominated the country for three decades.

In the speech, he defended his human rights record and said he did his best to fulfil his duties as president.

"I spent my whole life defending Egypt and its sons. I say before God, you and the people that I have spent my life, fighting the enemies of the country," he said

He is already serving a three-year prison sentence for embezzlement of public funds.
