     1        sometime.  Then they can make such use of them as they wish
     2        thereafter.  I hope that is all right.  I do not know which
     3        one is which even at the moment.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you want to say anything about the tape,
     6        first of all?
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  As far as the tapes, we will leave it up to
     9        yourself to decide what the best procedure is.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think what I will do is I will wait and see
    12        what you ask about that, then we can -----
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  We will have to see them first, obviously -----
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Sorry?
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:  We will have to see the tapes first before we come
    19        on to the Mexican subject because, obviously, it is
    20        evidence.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How can we arrange about that?
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  It is easy enough, my Lord.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How long is the film, first of all?
    27
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  I think it is very short, 16 minutes.  I do not
    29        know, my Lord.  I am bound to say something wrong if
    30        I speak without having even seen it.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is it can be inspected at
    33        Barlows but it could probably be brought along here and
    34        shown.  If it is really only a quarter of an hour, I will
    35        not look at it but the Defendants can see it shown here.
    36
    37   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, of course they can.  I am quite willing to
    38        hand a copy over tomorrow.  It is just I do not want to
    39        lose it today because I want to see it myself.  That is
    40        all.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is leave Mexico City for the
    43        time being until you have either seen a copy of the film
    44        here or been lent a copy to take home to play on your own
    45        or a friend's video recorder.  Then we will take that up
    46        again, but when you have actually seen the film then
    47        I would ask you to come in due course to your
    48        cross-examination about the Mexico City matter.  When
    49        I have heard what you have put and what you have
    50        challenged, we can come back and I can offer a view on 
    51        whether it is really productive to see the film, or whether 
    52        the oral evidence I have heard is enough to reach a 
    53        conclusion, if it matters.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  I mean, basically, I think once we get copies
    56        tomorrow, we will look at them tomorrow evening.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  We will come back to it after you have
    59        had an opportunity to see the film.  I just want to ask one
    60        or two questions before I ask you about cross-examination.
