Phone-hacking trial: Jury retires to start deliberations

The jury in the phone-hacking trial at the Old Bailey has retired to consider its verdicts.

Mr Justice Saunders finished summing up the evidence heard in the trial - which started in October last year - and sent the jury out to begin deliberations.

Seven people are on trial in connection with alleged phone hacking at the News of the World, including former editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks.

All seven defendants deny the allegations against them.
