Watch live as Rupert Murdoch is expected in court in Reno, Nevada, as the battle over Fox News and the Wall Street Journal continues on Tuesday, 17 September.

A fight over control of the media mogul's global television and publishing empire began on Monday, with a judge considering the contentious matter of succession.

Mr Murdoch, 93, is attempting to change the terms of the family’s trust - which holds significant stakes in Fox News parent Fox and Wall Street Journal owner News Corp.

The billionaire is looking to ensure that, upon his death, the media companies remain under the control of his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, according to the New York Times, which obtained a sealed court document detailing the drama.

On Thursday, a Nevada judge rejected an appeal by Reuters and other news organisations to open the hearings to the public.
