Australian journalist Peter Greste and two of his Al Jazeera colleagues will undergo a retrial after their convictions were reviewed by the Egyptian appeals court.

Greste, Mohammed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed were found guilty in June by an Egyptian court of spreading false news and supporting the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt's Court of Cassation ordered a retrial, but the journalists were not granted bail.

Greste's defence lawyer said the decision to grant bail could only be made by the court conducting the retrial.
