Good morning. I note some changes of appearance.

Good morning, Madam President. Good morning, your Honours.

Good morning, Mr Bangura.

Your Honours, for the Prosecution this morning Brenda J Hollis, Mohamed A Bangura, that's myself, Shyamala Alagendra, Alain Werner and Maja Dimitrova. Thank you, your Honours.

Just pause. Yes, I see Ms Alagendra now. Thank you.

Good morning, your Honours, Madam President. For the Defence is myself Morris Anyah, we have Silas Chekera from the office of the Principal Defender and we are joined by Mr Ibrahim Warne.

Thank you, Mr Anyah. Just before I proceed there is one matter which I wish to mention. An urgent confidential Defence motion has been filed. It is file number 469. I won't read the full title as it's confidential and urgent. However, we are minded to deal with it as an oral application. Are Prosecution aware of this document, it is 469?

Yes, Madam President, we are and we do oppose the request.

I had in mind, Ms Hollis, to allow you to reply orally and to give you a little time to prepare. Would this afternoon be suitable?

Of course.

Very well. We will deal with it first thing in the afternoon. Mr Anyah, you would be then in a position to reply, I trust?

Yes, Madam President. There is one issue I would like to raise before we commence the re-examination of the witness and I would like to do so in private session because it implicates matters that were previously discussed in private session in respect of this witness.

I see. You have discussed this with counsel for the Prosecution? You're aware of the application, Mr Bangura?

Yes, I am, your Honour, and the Prosecution is not opposed to the application.

Thank you. We will allow the private session. Madam Court Officer, I would be grateful if you would implement that, please. The witness is present in court.

I don't recall if when we had the particular discussion in question he remained in court, but I don't see any reason why he should not remain. I will elaborate once we go into private session and the Chamber can then decide.

Your Honour, we are in open session.

Mr Witness, I again remind you as I have reminded you on other mornings that you have taken the oath. The oath is still binding on you and you must answer questions truthfully.

Okay.
