The jury has entered a second day of deliberations in the trial of two brothers accused of assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, deny attacking three Greater Manchester Police officers during a confrontation in Terminal 2 on July 23 last year.
