Former Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian has been ordered back to jail, pending his trial on corruption charges, after a court reversed a bail order.

The Taipei District Court judges are reported to have said there was a risk he could collude with other suspects, destroy evidence and flee the island.

Mr Chen left office in May and denies any wrongdoing.
