Your Honour, I can represent to you that Mr Dan Bright, Ms Carole White's lawyer, is present and here, your Honour, and available and I think the intention was to seat him in the position behind me.

Yes, your Honour. As it's almost 11, I would suggest we take the adjournment, at least now or soon before 11, and I've been in touch with the Dutch Transport Police and I understand that Mr Sesay could be here within an hour. So I would suggest we ...

May it please the Trial Chamber, Gregory Townsend appearing for the Registrar. My understanding is that she arrived at a quarter to nine, your Honour. It will just be a moment, your Honour, before she's brought in from the witness waiting area. We apologise for the delay. We understand ...

If I could address the Court, your Honour, while we have this moment to explain. The witness is not in the immediate area of the holding cell here, so it may take just a few moments. With regard to counsel's request about WVS providing food, I will discuss this ...

Thank you, your Honour. I ask leave and I join you in your thanks to the ICC and thank everyone for their appreciation and consideration and assistance.

Absolutely. The schedule indicates a start time of 1430 tomorrow at the STL courtroom, and it's only contained in the text of the email, but that session is scheduled for 90 minutes. So it would end at 1600. 2.30 to 4 p.m. tomorrow. I hope that's ...

May it please the Trial Chamber. Thank you very much for the audience, your Honours. I know that there's been a lot of communication, but I just wanted to make myself available here to answer any questions and to apprise the Trial Chamber and the parties that as discussed ...

May it please the Trial Chamber: Your Honours, at approximately 7.50 this morning I received a phone call from Mr Anders Backman, the Chief Custody Officer of the International Criminal Court Detention Unit, and he informed me that Mr Taylor is well and had decided not to come to ...

May it please the Trial Chamber. Your Honours, I am here to report that according to our network administrator the modems at both the ICC and at the STL where our seven servers sit are not functioning and our reliance on Colt Company to provide those functioning modems has put ...

May it please the Trial Chamber, thank you, your Honours. In compliance with your decision of 19 August 2008 the Registry has submitted before you a confidential four page report with a one page attachment which is also confidential which is a letter from the EBB, or the guarding and ...

Yes, your Honour. I have two bases I've been told on a confidential basis that underlie the upgrading of the high security transport. Again they don't relate to Mr Taylor specifically, but to rather security on the ground and the same imposition of high security has been in ...

That's exactly correct.

I can tell you again that I believe around 12 August, as soon as that decision was made, that the upgrading of the security was communicated to Mr Taylor by the ICC detention staff. Now, the actual basis is never conveyed to any detainee because these are confidential security considerations ...

They're not spelled out, your Honours. This report is for consumption of all the parties.

That's exactly correct, your Honours.

Exactly, your Honours.

Only in camera, your Honours, and not in open - closed session.

The placement of maximum security transport for Mr Taylor is of a duration that only the Dutch security will know and not release publicly, so I'm not in a position to know that and we don't have that information. We know that it was previously removed when a ...

Not as of yet. It was just completed for court this morning. I would like the opportunity to indeed circulate it.

There are greater details to what I have submitted orally in the written report, your Honours, and I suggest due to the confidential nature it's best to have those matters reviewed in a written format, rather than hear me orally.

Indeed, your Honours. I spoke yesterday at great length with various representatives of the Dutch transport and support service, what's known by the Dutch acronym DV&O, about the two objections that Mr Taylor has to particular procedures of his high security or maximum security transport. Now, this is a ...

May it please the Trial Chamber, in compliance with yesterday's order I have submitted a written report and I'm happy to circulate that time - circulate that report at this time if you'd like, your Honours, and I can also just make some brief oral submissions and you ...

Yes, your Honour, and all the parties.

May it please the Trial Chamber, yes, your Honour, if I might briefly just give you some additional information upon which you might base any decision on how to proceed today. The ICC authorities at the detention centre informed Mr Taylor, it is my information, on 13 August 2008, that ...

May it please the Trial Chamber, my first prayer would be to be excused as you continue with the witness.
