Good morning. I'll take appearances, please, Mr Bangura.

Good morning, Madam President, good morning, your Honours and counsel opposite.

Just before you go any further, Mr Bangura, I don't appear to be getting any transmission. Are others getting transmission?

If your Honour goes on to line 2 you can get it.

Very good. Thank you, Mr Munyard. Please proceed, Mr Bangura.

Your Honour, for the Prosecution this morning Mr Nicholas Koumjian, Ms Julia Baly, myself Mohamed A Bangura and Ms Maja Dimitrova. Thank you, your Honours.

Thank you, Mr Bangura. Mr Munyard.

Good morning, Madam President, your Honours, counsel opposite. For the Defence Courtenay Griffiths QC, myself Terry Munyard, Morris Anyah and we're joined today by one of our interns Ms Simitie Lavalie who is a member of the Bar of Sierra Leone.

Thank you, Mr Munyard. We welcome Ms Lavalie to the Court. If there are no other matters I will remind the witness of his oath. Good morning, Mr Witness.

Good morning, your Honour.

I again remind you this morning that you took the oath during the course of last week. That oath continues to be binding upon you and you must answer questions truthfully. Do you understand?

Yes, I do, your Honour.

Thank you, please proceed.

Your Honour, I'm informed there's a technical problem. Normally English is the floor channel and it is received on channel 1, but for now I think we would have to be on zero to be able to receive the transmission until they rectify the problem.

Yes, Mr Munyard, please proceed and we will just - we'll watch this transmission to ensure that it's working.

Your Honours, I've now gone back to channel zero and I hope that everybody is able to follow on that channel:
