Decision due on whether Pistorius trial will be televised

A judge will decide this morning whether the Oscar Pistorius trial will be televised.

The trial begins in Pretoria next week.

The athlete denies murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp who was shot dead last year.

Sky's Alex Crawford, who is in Johannesburg, said lawyers for TV networks would argue the level of international interest is such that "South Africa would do itself a lot of good if it allowed cameras to broadcast the entire proceedings from start to finish."
