Jailed journalist Kieron Bryan is due in a Russian court later today where prosecutors are looking to extend his period of detention.

The 29 year old videographer has been in custody for more than 60 days. However, Russian authorities now want to hold him until February 2014 while they continue to investigate hooliganism charges.

Bryan is one of 30 people who were arrested aboard the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise when it was stormed by Russian special forces in September.
