The latest warlord to face justice for crimes in Liberia's civil wars goes on trial. We report from the court in Paris. In Lofa County where he is alleged to have committed most of his crimes people say they are grateful to see justice at last. And the US Ambassador for War Crimes visits Liberia promising funding for a war crimes court. Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner John Stewart tells us he is hopeful a court will happen soon.
