Starting at 0359:50 GMT a national anthem can be heard, although this may be the Russian regional station's (underneath). AT 0401 GMT a woman can be heard to give an ID (possible mention of Lesotho and Maseru). At 0403 GMT there is music, then at 0403:30 GMT there is a man possibly reading Koran, this continues until 0405 GMT. The language here is probably SeSotho. The "Moscow Nights" and Kremlin chimes can also be heard from the Russian regional station.
