Good afternoon. We will take appearances now, please.

Good afternoon, Madam President, your Honours, opposing counsel, this afternoon for the Prosecution, Brenda J Hollis, Mohamed A Bangura, and we are joined by our case manager, Maja Dimitrova.

Good afternoon, Madam President, your Honours, counsel opposite. For the Defence today, myself Courtenay Griffiths, with me Mr Morris Anyah of counsel.

Just by way of preliminaries, to remind the parties that we will be taking our usual break two hours into the proceedings, which brings us to 5 o'clock, because the tapes have to be changed. So we will break from 5 to 5.30 and then resume.

Mr Taylor, I remind you, as I normally do, that you are under declaration to tell the truth.

Ms Hollis, please proceed.

Thank you, Madam President.
