0:00:13 > 0:00:15The International Development Secretary at the time says
0:00:15 > 0:00:21the charity didn't explain the full extent of what happened.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22I think Oxfam were economical with the truth

0:00:26 > 0:00:29They may well have stuck by the letter of the rules
0:00:29 > 0:00:34but they certainly did not stick by the spirit.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The Government is now threatening to cut funding to Oxfam,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41of more than £30 million.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46We will have reaction from Haiti.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Also this lunchtime:
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Three Britons killed in the helicopter crash

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Senior officials from Oxfam are in emergency talks today
0:01:45 > 0:01:47with the International Development Secretary, to try to prevent
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Government funding being cut, following the scandal involving some
0:01:49 > 0:01:56of its aid workers and prostitutes.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It's claimed the charity failed to give the Government full
0:01:58 > 0:02:01details of what happened, in the wake of the devastating
0:02:01 > 0:02:03earthquake in Haiti in 2010.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Oxfam denies there's been a cover up.
0:02:06 > 0:02:13Matt Cole reports.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15In the worst imaginable circumstances, Oxfam staff were
0:02:15 > 0:02:21meant to be in Haiti to help. It's now clear son had a very different
0:02:21 > 0:02:25agenda. Amidst claims of sex parties and prostitutes, Oxfam sacked four
0:02:25 > 0:02:28staff and allowed three others to quit including their country
0:02:28 > 0:02:34director who went on to secure work with another aid organisation. Oxfam
0:02:34 > 0:02:37denies it has covered up what happened but now it has emerged the
0:02:37 > 0:02:39international of element secretary wants answers about the way it
0:02:39 > 0:02:43handled the case.We are talking about an historic case but it is
0:02:43 > 0:02:47common in some respects, still live. They still have information they
0:02:47 > 0:02:51should be giving to the authorities. It is to the department here that
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Oxfam's leaders were summoned to make their case to the Secretary of
0:02:54 > 0:02:57State following her threats to cut millions of pounds of funding if she
0:02:57 > 0:03:03didn't like their answers. But there are also questions for the Charity
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Commission which regulates these matters, not least how much it new
0:03:05 > 0:03:10and why didn't do more.They did say they were investigating some
0:03:10 > 0:03:15allegations of sexual misconduct.So why wasn't that looked into further?
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Because what was not clear was the extent and seriousness of those,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23which, as I've said, they assured us, in fact, they categorically said
0:03:23 > 0:03:29there was no allegations of abuse of beneficiaries.Andrew Mitchell was
0:03:29 > 0:03:32the International Development Secretary when all this took place.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I think Oxfam were economical with the truth about what they were
0:03:36 > 0:03:39investigating. They may well have stuck by the letter of the rules,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44but they certainly did not stick by the spirit. After all, one of the
0:03:44 > 0:03:48big changes we made in 2010 was to introduce much greater transparency
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and openness into the way international development takes
0:03:51 > 0:03:54place. I'm afraid Oxfam were very clearly in breach of that at the
0:03:54 > 0:04:01time.There are also questions for civil servants here, after another
0:04:01 > 0:04:04former Secretary of State, Priti Patel suggested they dismissed her
0:04:04 > 0:04:07efforts to question how wide a problem sexual abuse and predatory
0:04:07 > 0:04:14behaviour is in the charity sector. Haiti Save the Children has vomited
0:04:14 > 0:04:17it had 31 claims of sexual harassment last year but if says
0:04:17 > 0:04:22everyone must do more.I will not sit here pretending you can wave a
0:04:22 > 0:04:27magic wand and eliminate all risk tomorrow. I can assure the British
0:04:27 > 0:04:31public and the British public and the people who are ultimately
0:04:31 > 0:04:34responsible for... These vulnerable women and children, that we will
0:04:34 > 0:04:39give this our best shot.Oxfam says it has now put new safeguarding
0:04:39 > 0:04:42measures in place including tougher vetting of staff. Other charities
0:04:42 > 0:04:49are calling for a new sector wide passport that workers can take from
0:04:49 > 0:04:51agency to agency to verify they are suitable and saved to be trusted
0:04:51 > 0:04:53helping those most in need.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale is here.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05James, to be clear, it's not just Oxfam facing a crisis with the
0:05:05 > 0:05:07government over funding over allegations of sexual misconduct?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10The government has made it very clear that they are going to write
0:05:10 > 0:05:15to all charities that receive public funding to say, look, do you have
0:05:15 > 0:05:20any allegations of abuse? Within your own organisation and also what
0:05:20 > 0:05:24safeguards do you have in place and at the government is not satisfied,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28they will also have the threat of losing their public funding hanging
0:05:28 > 0:05:32over them. There's clearly a specific issue relation to
0:05:32 > 0:05:37charities. The Charity Commission, the body that regulates the sector
0:05:37 > 0:05:42said this morning, they know of 1000 cases at the moment. That's not just
0:05:42 > 0:05:45the aid sector that the whole charitable sector. The prime Mr's
0:05:45 > 0:05:49official spokesman in this morning was clear. They said the government
0:05:49 > 0:05:53has to do more -- the Prime Minister's official spokesman. For
0:05:53 > 0:05:57the charity to toughen up their procedures, vetting and recruitment,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01to ensure that people who have positions of authority, money or
0:06:01 > 0:06:04because they have some kind of authority over vulnerable people who
0:06:04 > 0:06:07are being helped by the charities, do not have the opportunity for
0:06:07 > 0:06:11these kind of cases do take place again.Thank you.-- to take place
0:06:11 > 0:06:14again.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Our correspondent Will Grant is in Haiti - he explained
0:06:16 > 0:06:19that the aid sector will need to work very hard to rebuild trust
0:06:19 > 0:06:22within the country.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24By and large, the reaction in Haiti to the Oxfam
0:06:24 > 0:06:27scandal has been twofold.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30On the one hand, there is deep anger, resentment at the fact
0:06:30 > 0:06:31that this organisation, ostensibly here to help
0:06:31 > 0:06:34the country's most vulnerable after the 2010 earthquake,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38ended up exploiting those people, instead.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And there is a certain degree of resignation.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43People here say that the sorts of abuses that
0:06:43 > 0:06:46are happening were well known.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52We have reached out to people in the charity sector who say
0:06:52 > 0:06:54they had certainly heard the rumours, and they point
0:06:54 > 0:06:57to a wider culture of abuse they say has been happening
0:06:57 > 0:06:58among international organisations.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00They point at the UN peacekeeping force, for example,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05a very high-profile case of alleged sexual abuse of minors,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and the fact the UN peacekeeping force was said to have introduced
0:07:08 > 0:07:11cholera to this country.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14As for Oxfam, they say they're going to work hard
0:07:14 > 0:07:16to rebuild public trust, in Britain, in their reputation.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19In fact, they already have a very, very long way to go to rebuild trust
0:07:19 > 0:07:27in Haiti again, too.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Three British tourists killed in a helicopter crash
0:07:29 > 0:07:31in the Grand Canyon, have been named
0:07:31 > 0:07:34by police in America.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Becky Dobson, Jason Hill and Stuart Hill, died
0:07:36 > 0:07:38on Saturday evening.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Three other Britons, and the pilot, were injured.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Here's James Cook.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46The helicopter came down in rocky, remote terrain,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49bursting into flames.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It appears the survivors were able to get out,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54despite suffering serious injuries.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But three Britons on board died at the scene.
0:07:56 > 0:07:5827-year-old Becky Dobson, 30-year-old Stuart Hill,
0:07:58 > 0:08:04and Jason Hill, who was 32.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08For the survivors, three young Britons and the pilot,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09the ordeal was far from over.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Rescuers including local military personnel were flown in,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17but then had to walk to the crash site using night-vision goggles.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It was more than eight hours before the injured were flown
0:08:19 > 0:08:23to hospital in Las Vegas.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We weren't able to extract everybody from the crash site
0:08:26 > 0:08:27until 2am this morning.
0:08:27 > 0:08:34High winds, brownout dust conditions, rugged to rain,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36High winds, brownout dust conditions, rugged terrain,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and as you know, when you fly in treacherous conditions like this,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41you have to have special training and special people.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's not clear what caused the crash, which involved
0:08:43 > 0:08:48a Eurocopter EC130.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51The tour company, Papillon Airways, says it is the world's largest

0:09:11 > 0:09:18Mireya Villa-Real from CBS News is at Grand Canyon West.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's early days, nine, but are there any indications as to what may have
0:09:23 > 0:09:28caused the crash? -- it's early days, I know.Good afternoon. What
0:09:28 > 0:09:31we know right now is that it's still too early in the investigation do
0:09:31 > 0:09:36know what might have caused the accident. As we heard the police
0:09:36 > 0:09:39chief talk about, the weather is something they are looking at. There
0:09:39 > 0:09:45are federal investigators that will be on the scene today. The Federal
0:09:45 > 0:09:48aviation administration as one of the National Transportation Safety
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Board. They will take a look at everything here, talking to
0:09:51 > 0:09:54witnesses and surveying the scene. They mentioned yesterday that
0:09:54 > 0:09:58something truly important, there is a camera and black box that was on
0:09:58 > 0:10:03the helicopter and they have retrieved that and they will be
0:10:03 > 0:10:08reviewing that. We also know that tribal leaders from the reservation
0:10:08 > 0:10:11nearby building meeting with these federal agencies to figure out
0:10:11 > 0:10:14exactly what they could have done or what will be done in the future to
0:10:14 > 0:10:18make sure this doesn't happen again. Thank you.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar,
0:10:23 > 0:10:24are visiting Belfast for talks with Northern Ireland's
0:10:24 > 0:10:29main political parties.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30There are suggestions the Democratic Unionists
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and Sinn Fein, could be close to a deal to restore
0:10:33 > 0:10:35devolved government, after the failure of several
0:10:35 > 0:10:38previous rounds of negotiations.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Power sharing at Stormont collapsed more
0:10:39 > 0:10:40than a year ago.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Keith Doyle reports.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The first visit for the Prime Minister this morning was the
0:10:47 > 0:10:50bombarding a factory in Belfast. Last month, a surprise settlement in
0:10:50 > 0:10:59a long running trade dispute saw jobs secured. Mrs's secure visit to
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Belfast is seen as positive. To rest all the Northern Ireland executive.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Northern Ireland has been run by civil servants since the
0:11:06 > 0:11:11power-sharing executive collapsed in January last year. Tensions between
0:11:11 > 0:11:15the ruling parties, the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein, of
0:11:15 > 0:11:19implementing the Irish language and same-sex marriage as well as an
0:11:19 > 0:11:23overall acrimonious relationship. It has resulted in 13 months of
0:11:23 > 0:11:29stalemate. At the weekend, the new Sinn Fein leader, Mary Lou McDonald,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32indicated that some sort of deal might be in the making. But it seems
0:11:32 > 0:11:37that may now be the case. The Prime Minister was last in Northern
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Ireland in the election campaign and has been criticised for what some
0:11:41 > 0:11:43described as a hands off approach to restoring the power-sharing
0:11:43 > 0:11:49executive. Today's visit is a clear indication that progress has been
0:11:49 > 0:11:53made. The prime nest is meeting the parties at Stormont, the home of the
0:11:53 > 0:11:59assembly along with the Irish premier. The speculation is the deal
0:11:59 > 0:12:01to restore the power-sharing assembly may include a workaround to
0:12:01 > 0:12:05resolve the issue of the official status of the Irish language, which
0:12:05 > 0:12:10has been a better source of division between the DUP and Sinn Fein. The
0:12:10 > 0:12:13bitter source. Restoring the power-sharing executive would come
0:12:13 > 0:12:17at a crucial time for Northern Ireland as it faces another huge
0:12:17 > 0:12:20issue, Brexit and the Irish border. The Irish comment wants further
0:12:20 > 0:12:24guarantees that there will be no hard border. Theresa May has given
0:12:24 > 0:12:27those guarantees but as yet, no clear plans have emerged to show how
0:12:27 > 0:12:32that will be the case. While this has all the makings of being a day
0:12:32 > 0:12:36for deals, these days have come and gone in Northern Ireland in the
0:12:36 > 0:12:41past. How much confidence is there that perhaps power-sharing could be
0:12:41 > 0:12:48restored?The tea shop and Prime Minister are in talks at the moment.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52They are having them here, and it indicates the deal is in the air. It
0:12:52 > 0:13:00is far from buying and delivered. The Irish language, the DUP has said
0:13:00 > 0:13:05that it would not bring in the stand-alone bill that will not
0:13:05 > 0:13:09increase the level of the Irish language to an official status. Sinn
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Fein has said that is exactly what they want. Having the Taoiseach and
0:13:13 > 0:13:16the Prime Minister here, they are both saying they are encouraging the
0:13:16 > 0:13:19parties to reach an agreement and emphasising the importance of
0:13:19 > 0:13:22reaching an agreement. The DUP has said this morning that there is
0:13:22 > 0:13:27still work to be done. While there is optimism that a deal is possible,
0:13:27 > 0:13:33the fact that the optimism is geared up toward a deal being done today, I
0:13:33 > 0:13:36think that is far-fetched. It is more likely that we are likely to
0:13:36 > 0:13:42see a deal this week rather than today.Thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44London City Airport has been closed for the day,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Here's our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21They are said to be closely involved in the arrangements

0:14:24 > 0:14:27As already announced, it will take place in the historic
0:14:27 > 0:14:29setting of St George's Chapel within Windsor Castle
0:14:29 > 0:14:32on Saturday 19th May.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34The service will begin at midday with the Dean
0:14:34 > 0:14:36of Windsor officiating, and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Justin Welby, leading the service itself.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Room within the chapel is limited, there'll be space
0:14:42 > 0:14:47for around 800 guests.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But after the service, at one o'clock, the couple, married,
0:14:50 > 0:14:56as they will be by then, will set off in a carriage
0:14:56 > 0:14:59procession, through the centre of Windsor and then a long walk back
0:14:59 > 0:15:02to the castle for a reception in St George's Hall.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The carriage procession, they hope, will fulfil the pledge they made

0:16:10 > 0:16:17before going back.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well, three aid workers from one charity have been filming video
0:16:20 > 0:16:22diaries of their work helping the Rohingya at the world's largest
0:16:22 > 0:16:23refugee camp in Bangladesh.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Chris Rogers reports.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31The world's largest refugee camp.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35This is home to more than 800,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40escaping persecution in Buddhist dominated Myanmar.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Dr Ramiz Momeni, Genevieve Jones-Hernandez
0:16:42 > 0:16:48and Sarah Wade have travelled the world helping refugees.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53But nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55The Humanitas charity are heading deep into the camp,
0:16:55 > 0:17:00where there is no aid to a medical centre.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04We are walking to set up our clinic, where no one else has reached yet.
0:17:04 > 0:17:11So obviously it's going to be tough.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17There are so many babies, newborns, 14 days old.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22They don't have any food, starving.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24DR MOMENI:An underweight baby...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27She was prescribed vitamins but just for her, not for the baby.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Honestly, it's like the baby's...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Dying.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39So, we've just organised for her to go and get referred,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43because she needs to go to a hospital and for that she needs
0:17:43 > 0:17:45to have her ID card.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Tell her that we're very sorry she lost the baby.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I think we expected to turn up and be working alongside a lot more
0:17:53 > 0:17:57organisations or volunteers.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00We've worked within the Syrian refugee crisis, and it was full
0:18:00 > 0:18:06of organisations and volunteers and people there on the ground,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08and I think we expected this to be slightly similar,
0:18:08 > 0:18:13and it isn't.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Her pulse is very low, so we're just rushing to the hospital.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21We've got these newly arrived Rohingyas and severe,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24severe dehydration.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30There is an absolute lack of aid for these people.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Large international aid organisations complain Myanmar has
0:18:33 > 0:18:41blocked aid convoys and staff reaching the refugee camp.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's time for the team to head home, but more refugees arrive,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50in biblical numbers.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54All of these people are tired, sick, hungry, and yet have
0:18:54 > 0:19:00reached their final destination in this camp and set up home.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It's not so much that it's a difficult thing to be here.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think it would be a more difficult thing to leave,
0:19:05 > 0:19:10knowing that we are leaving these people in such a dire situation.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14This is my last exit from the camp, because we're heading home tomorrow.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Somehow, they're incredible.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20THEY CHEER.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23And, you know the way that I see it, we're here to be a positive
0:19:23 > 0:19:25influence, a positive...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28You know, so we have to come with energy,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30come with smiles, come with balloons, bubbles,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32as well as the medicine.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Show them that people care.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Chris Rogers reporting there, and viewers in London can see more
0:19:39 > 0:19:42of that report on "Inside Out" tonight at 7.30, on BBC One -
0:19:42 > 0:19:46and on the BBC iPlayer.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The leadership of South Africa's ruling ANC is meeting this lunchtime
0:19:49 > 0:19:53to decide on the future of President Zuma.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55He has remained in office despite repeated calls
0:19:55 > 0:20:01for him to stand down amid allegations of corruption.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The new ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, has issued an ultimatum,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06that Mr Zuma must stand down, or be forced out.
0:20:06 > 0:20:13Pumza Fihlani is in Pretoria.
0:20:13 > 0:20:21What are the chances of Jacob Zuma finally learning his fate today? I'm
0:20:21 > 0:20:26sorry, we seem to have lost the line to South Africa. We might bring you
0:20:26 > 0:20:31that story.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Rescue workers have found the second black box flight recorder
0:20:33 > 0:20:36from an airliner that crashed near Moscow over the weekend,
0:20:36 > 0:20:37killing all 71 people on board.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Russia's Emergencies Minister says he wants the ongoing
0:20:39 > 0:20:41search operation to be completed this evening.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Weather conditions, human error and technical failure
0:20:43 > 0:20:51are being considered as possible causes of the crash.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57It's estimated that £3-4 billion
0:20:57 > 0:21:00is being laundered every year in Europe via so-called
0:21:00 > 0:21:02cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin - that's according to the director
0:21:02 > 0:21:03of the law enforcement agency Europol.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Rob Wainwright has told the BBC's Panorama programme that more
0:21:06 > 0:21:07regulation is now urgently needed.
0:21:07 > 0:21:15Spencer Kelly reports.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20A cryptocurrency mine, almost hidden in Iceland's snowy landscape. These
0:21:20 > 0:21:26mines manage currencies like Bitcoin.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Bitcoin. There are in their owners cryptocurrency to doing so and many
0:21:29 > 0:21:36have popped up to cash in. Every single one of these is a desktop
0:21:36 > 0:21:42computer. There are thousands of them, all wired together. This
0:21:42 > 0:21:47particular mine contains 20,000 machines, a very expensive setup.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Unlike with normal currencies, Bitcoin transactions pass through
0:21:52 > 0:21:57machines not through a bank. Because there's no central point, it's hard
0:21:57 > 0:22:03to trace the money as moves around. The criminals, it's an almost
0:22:03 > 0:22:06perfect system for money-laundering, something of growing concern to the
0:22:06 > 0:22:12charities.There are three or £4 billion worth of dirty money being
0:22:12 > 0:22:16laundered each year I think in Europe through virtual currencies.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21It's still a small proportion of the overall amount, but it's quickly
0:22:21 > 0:22:26growing. Because this is an unregulated area, highly and an
0:22:26 > 0:22:32iced, very difficult for the police to identify who's cashing this out,
0:22:32 > 0:22:38we need the help of regulators and legislators.Politicians admit the
0:22:38 > 0:22:42recent cryptocurrency frenzy has called them asleep at the wheel.I
0:22:42 > 0:22:48think that to date cryptocurrency hasn't been on Parliament's agenda.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I think probably hand on heart we've all been too slow, but the
0:22:52 > 0:22:55opportunity isn't lost and we should get on with the job now.Some
0:22:55 > 0:23:01investors have made a lot of money from Bitcoin. Tim Draper correctly
0:23:01 > 0:23:04predicted the body would explode last year, and pocketed hundreds of
0:23:04 > 0:23:17millions of dollars.If we bang, it could easily go to a million in any
0:23:17 > 0:23:23given period of time. Because depending on people's perception and
0:23:23 > 0:23:28how excited they are and how the press portrays it and how
0:23:28 > 0:23:42governments push it around.Others, even the infamous scammer known
0:23:42 > 0:23:44even the infamous scammer known as the Wolf of Wall Street...It's easy
0:23:44 > 0:23:49to think this is going to be the next big thing. People are
0:23:49 > 0:23:53mortgaging their homes, taking loans out on their credit cards, putting
0:23:53 > 0:23:58their last dollars in two Bitcoin. The ones that get slaughtered the
0:23:58 > 0:24:01most at the end of the day the average mums and dads.It is these
0:24:01 > 0:24:06concerns that have led Lloyds bank and Virgin Money to ban the buying
0:24:06 > 0:24:09and selling of cryptocurrency with credit cards. And with calls for
0:24:09 > 0:24:15worldwide regulation, the rules around cryptocurrency could soon be
0:24:15 > 0:24:19much more controlled. Spencer Kelly, BBC News.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22And you can see the full report tonight on Panorama,
0:24:22 > 0:24:30that's at 8.30 on BBC One.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Let's return to the ANC meeting taking place in South Africa
0:24:36 > 0:24:41deciding the fate of Jacob Zuma. I was asking you earlier what are the
0:24:41 > 0:24:47chances that Mr Zuma will finally learn what's going to happen to him?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51It certainly seems the writing is on the wall. This is officially D-Day
0:24:51 > 0:24:56for the country's president. The African National Congress have made
0:24:56 > 0:25:00no secret they've run out of patience. We understand that behind
0:25:00 > 0:25:03me in the conference room the party is going to officially make a
0:25:03 > 0:25:08decision to recall him. The stakes are high, political parties are
0:25:08 > 0:25:10planning to begin campaigning for the national elections which are
0:25:10 > 0:25:16meant to be in 2019, and the ANC doesn't want to begin the race with
0:25:16 > 0:25:22President Jacob Zuma still lingering.Thank you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The first pictures have been released of an iceberg,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26which has broken away from the Antarctic ice
0:25:26 > 0:25:28sheet, and it's four times the size of London.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Scientists say they're on an urgent mission to document the marine eco
0:25:32 > 0:25:39system of the Continent, hidden for more than
0:25:39 > 0:25:40100,000 years.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Our science correspondent Victoria Gill has the details.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48A new perspective on a 6000 square kilometre swathe of floating ice.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52So the iceberg is 150 kilometres long, 50 kilometres wide,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57and will be about 150 metres deep.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You will be able to see the first 20-30 metres above the water,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04and everything else is underneath.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The trillion tonne A-68 iceberg is gradually drifting away
0:26:07 > 0:26:10from the Antarctic continent and into the sea.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12It's these ice-filled waters and the sea floor beneath them that
0:26:12 > 0:26:20scientists are now to explore.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22In the British Antarctic Survey vessel, the James Clark Ross,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25a team will spend three weeks studying the marine life that has
0:26:25 > 0:26:26been locked away here for millennia.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29They've described it as a treacherous but urgent mission.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31There are likely to be new species discovered,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34as researchers seek out the creatures that make their home
0:26:34 > 0:26:37beneath the vast ice sheet.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43We have no idea what living underneath these huge ice shelves.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We assume it is animals that are specially adapted to life
0:26:46 > 0:26:49without green food and vegetarian, so we have a lot of
0:26:49 > 0:26:50scavengers and carnivores.
0:26:50 > 0:26:57So we expect animals like in the deep sea,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59that doesn't have light as well.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But the team also hopes to understand the processes that
0:27:01 > 0:27:03caused the iceberg to break away.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05This could reveal more about just how this fragile,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07frozen wilderness at the bottom of the world will change
0:27:07 > 0:27:08as the climate warms.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Victoria Gill, BBC News.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Bad weather's making headlines again at the Winter Olympics
0:27:14 > 0:27:17in South Korea, but this time it's not the cold, but the wind that's
0:27:17 > 0:27:20making life challenging for the competitors.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23The final of the women's giant slalom has now been postponed.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26And after the heats of the women's snowboard slopestyle
0:27:26 > 0:27:28were cancelled yesterday, today's final did go ahead,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32but in conditions some described as "dangerous".
0:27:32 > 0:27:39From Pyeongchang, Andy Swiss reports.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Just getting to the start was a struggle.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Howling winds for the women's snowboarders and soon
0:27:44 > 0:27:47a blizzard of controversy.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Instead of postponing, they went ahead, with calamitous results.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Instead of postponing, they went ahead, with calamitous results.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55COMMENTATOR:Goodness me!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Quite how no one was injured, especially Slovakia's Klaudia
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Medlova, almost defied belief.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03As one after another, their hopes crash landed.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05All of the 25 riders fell at some point, including
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Britain's Aimee Fuller.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The wind forced to pull out of a jump on her first run,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13which meant on the second it was all or nothing,
0:28:13 > 0:28:19and agonisingly it was the latter.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Fuller finished 17th, but more importantly, intact.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27The conditions, she said, where simply brutal.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It felt like I had a sailboat under my board.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31The wind ripped me sideways.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33There wasn't a chance I was going to land.
0:28:33 > 0:28:40So, yeah, devastated.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Amidst the chaos, America's Jamie Anderson kept her balance
0:28:42 > 0:28:43and her Olympic title.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Organisers felt it had been safe to start the final, but was it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50The coaches and judges, they all have a chat together
0:28:50 > 0:28:52and make a decision at the top of the slope.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I wonder what went on in that conversation, why somebody didn't
0:28:55 > 0:29:01say let's postpone this.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05say let's postpone this.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08These biting winds have already blown the schedule off course.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Today's women's giant slalom had to be postponed,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12and with more high winds forecast tomorrow there could
0:29:12 > 0:29:13be more disruption.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16For now though, there will be relief no one was badly hurt,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19on a day when extreme sport certainly lived up to its name.
0:29:19 > 0:29:27And the Swiss, BBC News, Pyeongchang.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33The makers of a new film adaptation of the Peter rabbit books have
0:29:33 > 0:29:37apologised over the treatment of a character who has food allergies. In
0:29:37 > 0:29:41one scene the boy who is allergic to blackberries is pelted with the
0:29:41 > 0:29:47fruit by a gang of rabbits. The charity Allergy UK says it
0:29:47 > 0:29:51trivialises a life-threatening condition.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57Pretty terrible weather in South Korea, what about here? We are going
0:29:57 > 0:29:57Pretty terrible weather in South Korea, what about here? We are going
0:29:57 > 0:30:01to have some pretty strong winds over the next 24 hours. Over the
0:30:01 > 0:30:06weekend we've had a number of snow showers which has left a covering of
0:30:06 > 0:30:10snow in places. In Staffordshire we've got some snow on the ground at
0:30:10 > 0:30:15the moment. Although today's weather is quite quiet, it's going to cause
0:30:15 > 0:30:19some problems not just in terms of wind overnight. Some of us will also
0:30:19 > 0:30:26see a spell of heavy snow. Most areas having dry weather with
0:30:26 > 0:30:31sunshine. There are wintry showers across the north-west. Here the
0:30:31 > 0:30:36showers will be heavy and showery with hail and blunder mixed in. It
0:30:36 > 0:30:42feels quite cold if you're out and about. Overnight tonight that wind
0:30:42 > 0:30:47will continue to pick up in strength. Could see gusts of wind up
0:30:47 > 0:30:55to 70 miles an hour. The thing that most of all catches your eye is the
0:30:55 > 0:30:59rain turning to snow. The White indicating weather heavy snow is
0:30:59 > 0:31:03likely to be falling. That will cause some problems out and about as
0:31:03 > 0:31:07we look at the rush hour for Tuesday. The snow coming down very
0:31:07 > 0:31:13heavily. With 5-10 centimetres of snow expected over higher parts of
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Scotland, down further south if you centimetres could cause problems on
0:31:18 > 0:31:21the roads. Similar for parts of Northern Ireland and the Cumbrian
0:31:21 > 0:31:27fells. Further south, a bit more of a mixture. You're more likely to see
0:31:27 > 0:31:33a spell of link rain across southern counties of England. The rain grinds
0:31:33 > 0:31:39to a halt late in the afternoon. Cold and dank in the East of
0:31:39 > 0:31:46England. Elsewhere some sunshine but feeling cold.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50feeling cold. As that front clears out of the way, clearing skies could
0:31:50 > 0:31:53allow a frost and risk of icy stretches. Further west on Wednesday
0:31:53 > 0:31:58we've got the same kind of scenario. Strong winds followed by another
0:31:58 > 0:32:02weather front. The snow mainly targeting the high ground of
0:32:02 > 0:32:07northern England and Scotland. The rain could be quite heavy.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Temperatures struggling across eastern areas but further west it
0:32:10 > 0:32:14could get milder. Temperatures pushing up to 9 degrees in Plymouth
0:32:14 > 0:32:20and Belfast as well. Looking towards the end of the week and the weekend,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24high pressure building across the South. Becoming dry across southern
0:32:24 > 0:32:31areas. We should see things turning milder over the next few days. A
0:32:31 > 0:32:36spell of disruptive snow on the cards across parts of the north of
0:32:36 > 0:32:44the UK overnight tonight and into tomorrow as well.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46A reminder of our main story this lunchtime.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Oxfam is in crisis talks with the Government,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50over the scandal of aid workers using prostitutes in
0:32:50 > 0:32:52in Haiti, seven years ago.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53in Haiti, seven years ago.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56The International Development Secretary at the time said the
0:32:56 > 0:32:59charity didn't explain the full extent of what happened.I think
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Oxfam were economic or with the truth about what they were
0:33:03 > 0:33:07investigating. They may have stuck by the letter of the rules, but they
0:33:07 > 0:33:31certainly didn't stick by the spirit.
