  The court hearing of Christa Pike is now under way.
  Pike’s lawyers are addressing the court at the moment.
  The hearing had originally been billed as a press conference.

The Gaurdian's liveblogger is almost certainly reporting this second-hand, most likely based on watching a livestream from some broadcast news channel. They're not actually at the court themselves.
