**************
The first public hearing will be held to try surviving members of Cambodia’s brutal Khmer Rouge regime.
The UN-backed court is hearing a plea for bail from Kang Kek Ieu, or Duch, the former head of a notorious prison.
Duch was the first of five senior Khmer Rouge officials to be arrested and charged by the court.
More than a million people are thought to have died during the four years of Khmer Rouge rule between 1975 and 1979.
