Thank you, Mr Munyard, and we welcome Mr Rosengarten to the Court and trust he finds the work experience of benefit to him. If there are no other matters I will remind the witness of her oath. No.

Is anyone else having hearing problems because I am not - I mean I am. I am unable to hear.
-
My microphone is not working. I can't hear.
-
Madam Witness, can you hear what we are saying?
-
Yes.
-
You can hear me?
-
Yes, I can hear you.
-
Very good. Madam Witness, I want to remind you that yesterday you took the oath to tell the truth, the oath is binding upon you and you must continue to answer questions truthfully. Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Ms Hollis, before I ask you to proceed we will just check on this technical matter to ensure everyone can hear.

[The accused present]

[Upon commencing at 9.30 a.m.]
-
I can't hear a thing, Madam President.
-
Your Honour, I have contacted the AV booth. The English channel is 1, but they are sending a technician into the booth to check what the problem could be.
-
Madam Court Attendant, I know it is not your job but I think in future these things should be checked before we come into court if one of the technicians - you can request that one of the technicians do that in future.
-
I am much obliged, your Honour.
-
Madam Witness, there is a technical problem. We are going to wait briefly.
-
My hearing has been restored. I can hear perfectly now, so it sounds as though somebody has just flipped a button.
-
Mine is now back.
-
Ms Hollis, is yours on?
-
Yes.
-
I am not sure mine is back, but I can hear everybody quite clearly. I will just check with my learned colleagues.
-
Shall I say something to see if you can hear?
-
Yes, thank you, I can.
-
Yes, please proceed.
-
Thank you, Madam President.
