(BBC) A jury has seen CCTV footage of a former soldier reading newspaper articles about his breakout from prison while allegedly on the run.
Video shown at the Woolwich Crown Court trial of Daniel Khalife showed him in a west London newsagent reading the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror.
The prosecution allege he hid underneath a food truck to escape Wandsworth prison in south-west London on 6 September 2023.
Mr Khalife, 23, is also accused of collecting sensitive military information for Iran. He denies the charges against him.
In a video compilation shown to the jury, footage shows Mr Khalife leaving his cell shortly after 07:00 BST on the morning of his alleged escape.
