The trial of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has been adjourned, after he refused to recognise the court and acted "like a lion" in defiance, according to one of his lawyers.

Morsi was flown in from a secret military location on Monday to an eastern Cairo district on charges of inciting violence and murder. Hours later he was taken away by helicopter to a prison in Alexandria, with the trial not due to resume for two months.
