Lord Janner attends court for first time over abuse claims
Lord Janner has appeared at court for the first time to face 22 counts of historical child abuse.
The 87-year-old had been ordered to attend the hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in person this morning, but did not arrive as his legal team launched a last-minute bid to have him appear via video link.
Accusing the defence of "messing around", the district judge dismissed the application and ruled he must make a personal appearance.
