Oxfam is in crisis talks
with the Government over the scandal | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
of aid workers using prostitutes
in Haiti, seven years ago. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
The International Development
Secretary at the time says | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
the charity didn't explain the full
extent of what happened. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:21 | |
I think Oxfam were economical
with the truth | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
about what they were investigating. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
They may well have stuck
by the letter of the rules | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
but they certainly did not
stick by the spirit. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
The Government is now threatening
to cut funding to Oxfam, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
of more than £30 million. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
We will have reaction from Haiti. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
Also this lunchtime: | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Three Britons killed
in the helicopter crash | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
in the Grand Canyon,
have been named. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Theresa May and the Irish Prime
Minister are in Belfast, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
amid new hopes power sharing can be
restored at Stormont. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
There are new details
of Prince Harry's wedding | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
to Meghan Markel, including
a carriage procession | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
through the centre of Windsor. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
And the first pictures have been
released of an iceberg, that's | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
broken away from the Antarctic ice
sheet, and it's four times | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
the size of London. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:14 | |
Coming up in the sport on BBC news,
high winds cause big problems for | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
the women's slopestyle. Amy Fuller
from Great Britain crashes and | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
finishes 17th. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:29 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Senior officials from Oxfam
are in emergency talks today | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
with the International Development
Secretary, to try to prevent | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Government funding being cut,
following the scandal involving some | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
of its aid workers and prostitutes. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:56 | |
It's claimed the charity failed
to give the Government full | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
details of what happened,
in the wake of the devastating | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
earthquake in Haiti in 2010. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Oxfam denies there's
been a cover up. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Matt Cole reports. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:13 | |
In the worst imaginable
circumstances, Oxfam staff were | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
meant to be in Haiti to help. It's
now clear son had a very different | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
agenda. Amidst claims of sex parties
and prostitutes, Oxfam sacked four | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
staff and allowed three others to
quit including their country | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
director who went on to secure work
with another aid organisation. Oxfam | 0:02:28 | 0:02:34 | |
denies it has covered up what
happened but now it has emerged the | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
international of element secretary
wants answers about the way it | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
handled the case. We are talking
about an historic case but it is | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
common in some respects, still live.
They still have information they | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
should be giving to the authorities.
It is to the department here that | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Oxfam's leaders were summoned to
make their case to the Secretary of | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
State following her threats to cut
millions of pounds of funding if she | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
didn't like their answers. But there
are also questions for the Charity | 0:02:57 | 0:03:03 | |
Commission which regulates these
matters, not least how much it new | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
and why didn't do more. They did say
they were investigating some | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
allegations of sexual misconduct. So
why wasn't that looked into further? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
Because what was not clear was the
extent and seriousness of those, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
which, as I've said, they assured
us, in fact, they categorically said | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
there was no allegations of abuse of
beneficiaries. Andrew Mitchell was | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
the International Development
Secretary when all this took place. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
I think Oxfam were economical with
the truth about what they were | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
investigating. They may well have
stuck by the letter of the rules, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
but they certainly did not stick by
the spirit. After all, one of the | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
big changes we made in 2010 was to
introduce much greater transparency | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
and openness into the way
international development takes | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
place. I'm afraid Oxfam were very
clearly in breach of that at the | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
time. There are also questions for
civil servants here, after another | 0:03:54 | 0:04:01 | |
former Secretary of State, Priti
Patel suggested they dismissed her | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
efforts to question how wide a
problem sexual abuse and predatory | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
behaviour is in the charity sector.
Haiti Save the Children has vomited | 0:04:07 | 0:04:14 | |
it had 31 claims of sexual
harassment last year but if says | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
everyone must do more. I will not
sit here pretending you can wave a | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
magic wand and eliminate all risk
tomorrow. I can assure the British | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
public and the British public and
the people who are ultimately | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
responsible for... These vulnerable
women and children, that we will | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
give this our best shot. Oxfam says
it has now put new safeguarding | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
measures in place including tougher
vetting of staff. Other charities | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
are calling for a new sector wide
passport that workers can take from | 0:04:42 | 0:04:49 | |
agency to agency to verify they are
suitable and saved to be trusted | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
helping those most in need. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
Our Diplomatic Correspondent
James Landale is here. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:59 | |
James, to be clear, it's not just
Oxfam facing a crisis with the | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
government over funding over
allegations of sexual misconduct? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
The government has made it very
clear that they are going to write | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
to all charities that receive public
funding to say, look, do you have | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
any allegations of abuse? Within
your own organisation and also what | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
safeguards do you have in place and
at the government is not satisfied, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
they will also have the threat of
losing their public funding hanging | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
over them. There's clearly a
specific issue relation to | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
charities. The Charity Commission,
the body that regulates the sector | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
said this morning, they know of 1000
cases at the moment. That's not just | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
the aid sector that the whole
charitable sector. The prime Mr's | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
official spokesman in this morning
was clear. They said the government | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
has to do more -- the Prime
Minister's official spokesman. For | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
the charity to toughen up their
procedures, vetting and recruitment, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
to ensure that people who have
positions of authority, money or | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
because they have some kind of
authority over vulnerable people who | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
are being helped by the charities,
do not have the opportunity for | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
these kind of cases do take place
again. Thank you. -- to take place | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
again. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Our correspondent Will Grant
is in Haiti - he explained | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
that the aid sector will need
to work very hard to rebuild trust | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
within the country. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
By and large, the reaction
in Haiti to the Oxfam | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
scandal has been twofold. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
On the one hand, there is deep
anger, resentment at the fact | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
that this organisation,
ostensibly here to help | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
the country's most vulnerable
after the 2010 earthquake, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
ended up exploiting
those people, instead. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
And there is a certain
degree of resignation. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
People here say that
the sorts of abuses that | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
are happening were well known. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
We have reached out to people
in the charity sector who say | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
they had certainly heard
the rumours, and they point | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
to a wider culture
of abuse they say has been happening | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
among international organisations. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:58 | |
They point at the UN
peacekeeping force, for example, | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
a very high-profile case of alleged
sexual abuse of minors, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
and the fact the UN peacekeeping
force was said to have introduced | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
cholera to this country. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
As for Oxfam, they say
they're going to work hard | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
to rebuild public trust,
in Britain, in their reputation. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
In fact, they already have a very,
very long way to go to rebuild trust | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
in Haiti again, too. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:27 | |
Three British tourists killed
in a helicopter crash | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
in the Grand Canyon,
have been named | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
by police in America. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Becky Dobson, Jason Hill
and Stuart Hill, died | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
on Saturday evening. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Three other Britons,
and the pilot, were injured. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Here's James Cook. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
The helicopter came down
in rocky, remote terrain, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
bursting into flames. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
It appears the survivors
were able to get out, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
despite suffering serious injuries. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
But three Britons on board
died at the scene. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
27-year-old Becky Dobson,
30-year-old Stuart Hill, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
and Jason Hill, who was 32. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:04 | |
For the survivors, three young
Britons and the pilot, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
the ordeal was far from over. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
Rescuers including local military
personnel were flown in, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
but then had to walk to the crash
site using night-vision goggles. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
It was more than eight hours before
the injured were flown | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
to hospital in Las Vegas. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
We weren't able to extract
everybody from the crash site | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
until 2am this morning. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
High winds, brownout dust
conditions, rugged to rain, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:34 | |
High winds, brownout dust
conditions, rugged terrain, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
and as you know, when you fly
in treacherous conditions like this, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
you have to have special
training and special people. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
It's not clear what caused
the crash, which involved | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
a Eurocopter EC130. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
The tour company, Papillon Airways,
says it is the world's largest | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
aerial sightseeing outfit,
flying around 600,000 people year. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
In 2001, six people died
when another of the firm's | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Grand Canyon helicopters crashed. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
The Foreign Office says it is now
providing support to the British | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
families of this weekend's victims. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
James Cook, BBC News, Las Vegas. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Mireya Villa-Real from CBS News
is at Grand Canyon West. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:18 | |
It's early days, nine, but are there
any indications as to what may have | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
caused the crash? -- it's early
days, I know. Good afternoon. What | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
we know right now is that it's still
too early in the investigation do | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
know what might have caused the
accident. As we heard the police | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
chief talk about, the weather is
something they are looking at. There | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
are federal investigators that will
be on the scene today. The Federal | 0:09:39 | 0:09:45 | |
aviation administration as one of
the National Transportation Safety | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
Board. They will take a look at
everything here, talking to | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
witnesses and surveying the scene.
They mentioned yesterday that | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
something truly important, there is
a camera and black box that was on | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
the helicopter and they have
retrieved that and they will be | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
reviewing that. We also know that
tribal leaders from the reservation | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
nearby building meeting with these
federal agencies to figure out | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
exactly what they could have done or
what will be done in the future to | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
make sure this doesn't happen again.
Thank you. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
Theresa May and the Irish Prime
Minister, Leo Varadkar, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
are visiting Belfast for talks
with Northern Ireland's | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
main political parties. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
There are suggestions
the Democratic Unionists | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
and Sinn Fein, could be close
to a deal to restore | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
devolved government,
after the failure of several | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
previous rounds of negotiations. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
Power sharing at
Stormont collapsed more | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
than a year ago. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
Keith Doyle reports. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
The first visit for the Prime
Minister this morning was the | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
bombarding a factory in Belfast.
Last month, a surprise settlement in | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
a long running trade dispute saw
jobs secured. Mrs's secure visit to | 0:10:50 | 0:10:59 | |
Belfast is seen as positive. To rest
all the Northern Ireland executive. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Northern Ireland has been run by
civil servants since the | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
power-sharing executive collapsed in
January last year. Tensions between | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
the ruling parties, the Democratic
Unionists and Sinn Fein, of | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
implementing the Irish language and
same-sex marriage as well as an | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
overall acrimonious relationship. It
has resulted in 13 months of | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
stalemate. At the weekend, the new
Sinn Fein leader, Mary Lou McDonald, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:29 | |
indicated that some sort of deal
might be in the making. But it seems | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
that may now be the case. The Prime
Minister was last in Northern | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |
Ireland in the election campaign and
has been criticised for what some | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
described as a hands off approach to
restoring the power-sharing | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
executive. Today's visit is a clear
indication that progress has been | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
made. The prime nest is meeting the
parties at Stormont, the home of the | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
assembly along with the Irish
premier. The speculation is the deal | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
to restore the power-sharing
assembly may include a workaround to | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
resolve the issue of the official
status of the Irish language, which | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
has been a better source of division
between the DUP and Sinn Fein. The | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
bitter source. Restoring the
power-sharing executive would come | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
at a crucial time for Northern
Ireland as it faces another huge | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
issue, Brexit and the Irish border.
The Irish comment wants further | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
guarantees that there will be no
hard border. Theresa May has given | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
those guarantees but as yet, no
clear plans have emerged to show how | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
that will be the case. While this
has all the makings of being a day | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
for deals, these days have come and
gone in Northern Ireland in the | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
past. How much confidence is there
that perhaps power-sharing could be | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
restored? The tea shop and Prime
Minister are in talks at the moment. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:48 | |
They are having them here, and it
indicates the deal is in the air. It | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
is far from buying and delivered.
The Irish language, the DUP has said | 0:12:52 | 0:13:00 | |
that it would not bring in the
stand-alone bill that will not | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
increase the level of the Irish
language to an official status. Sinn | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Fein has said that is exactly what
they want. Having the Taoiseach and | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
the Prime Minister here, they are
both saying they are encouraging the | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
parties to reach an agreement and
emphasising the importance of | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
reaching an agreement. The DUP has
said this morning that there is | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
still work to be done. While there
is optimism that a deal is possible, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
the fact that the optimism is geared
up toward a deal being done today, I | 0:13:27 | 0:13:33 | |
think that is far-fetched. It is
more likely that we are likely to | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
see a deal this week rather than
today. Thank you. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:42 | |
London City Airport has
been closed for the day, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
affecting almost 20,000 passengers,
after a Second World War | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
bomb was found nearby. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
All flights have been cancelled
or rerouted to other airports | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
and local residents have been
asked to evacuate. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:57 | |
The bomb was discovered by divers | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
in the River Thames. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
The Metropolitan Police estimate
that, depending on the tides, | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
the operation should be over
by tomorrow morning. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Kensington Palace has announced more
details of the wedding | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
at Windsor Castle. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
The service, in St George's Chapel,
will begin at midday on May | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
the 19th, avoiding a clash
with the FA Cup Final. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Here's our royal correspondent
Nicholas Witchell. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
They are said to be closely
involved in the arrangements | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
for their wedding, which is now
a little less than 14 weeks away. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
As already announced,
it will take place in the historic | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
setting of St George's Chapel
within Windsor Castle | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
on Saturday 19th May. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
The service will begin
at midday with the Dean | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
of Windsor officiating,
and the Archbishop of Canterbury, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
Justin Welby, leading
the service itself. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
Room within the chapel
is limited, there'll be space | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
for around 800 guests. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
But after the service,
at one o'clock, the couple, married, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
as they will be by then,
will set off in a carriage | 0:14:50 | 0:14:56 | |
procession, through the centre
of Windsor and then a long walk back | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
to the castle for a reception
in St George's Hall. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
The carriage procession, they hope,
will fulfil the pledge they made | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
at the time of their engagement
to make it possible for members | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
of the public to feel
part of the occasion. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |

Our top story this lunchtime. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Oxfam is in crisis talks
with the Government over the scandal | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
of aid workers using prostitutes
in Haiti, seven years ago. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:26 | |
She's gone huge! | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
And coming up - battling
against the weather - | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
it's high winds, not just freezing
weather, causing havoc for | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
competitors at the Winter Olympics. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:39 | |
Coming up in sport, the American
teenager Chloe Kim with a | 0:15:39 | 0:15:49 | |
spectacular run in halfpipe
qualifying. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
Despite an agreement
allowing Rohingya Moslems | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
to return to Myanmar,
from refugee camps in Bangladesh, | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
many say they won't go home. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Hundreds of thousands of people fled
a military crackdown and violence | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
from pro-government militia groups
Myanmar last year, but now | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
want safety guarantees
and the right to citizenship, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
before going back. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:17 | |
Well, three aid workers from one
charity have been filming video | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
diaries of their work helping
the Rohingya at the world's largest | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
refugee camp in Bangladesh. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
Chris Rogers reports. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
The world's largest refugee camp. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
This is home to more than 800,000
Rohingya Muslim refugees, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
escaping persecution
in Buddhist dominated Myanmar. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
Dr Ramiz Momeni,
Genevieve Jones-Hernandez | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
and Sarah Wade have travelled
the world helping refugees. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
But nothing can prepare them
for what lies ahead. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
The Humanitas charity
are heading deep into the camp, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
where there is no aid
to a medical centre. | 0:16:55 | 0:17:00 | |
We are walking to set up our clinic,
where no one else has reached yet. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
So obviously it's going to be tough. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:11 | |
There are so many babies,
newborns, 14 days old. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
They don't have any food, starving. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
DR MOMENI: An underweight baby... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
She was prescribed vitamins but just
for her, not for the baby. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
Honestly, it's like the baby's... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
Yeah... | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Dying. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
So, we've just organised
for her to go and get referred, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
because she needs to go
to a hospital and for that she needs | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
to have her ID card. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
Tell her that we're very
sorry she lost the baby. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
I think we expected to turn up
and be working alongside a lot more | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
organisations or volunteers. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
We've worked within the Syrian
refugee crisis, and it was full | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
of organisations and volunteers
and people there on the ground, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
and I think we expected this
to be slightly similar, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
and it isn't. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
Her pulse is very low, so we're just
rushing to the hospital. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
We've got these newly arrived
Rohingyas and severe, | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
severe dehydration. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
There is an absolute lack
of aid for these people. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:30 | |
Large international aid
organisations complain Myanmar has | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
blocked aid convoys and staff
reaching the refugee camp. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:41 | |
It's time for the team to head home,
but more refugees arrive, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
in biblical numbers. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
All of these people are tired, sick,
hungry, and yet have | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
reached their final destination
in this camp and set up home. | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
It's not so much that it's
a difficult thing to be here. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
I think it would be a more
difficult thing to leave, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
knowing that we are leaving these
people in such a dire situation. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
This is my last exit from the camp,
because we're heading home tomorrow. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
Somehow, they're incredible. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
THEY CHEER. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
And, you know the way that I see it,
we're here to be a positive | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
influence, a positive... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
You know, so we have
to come with energy, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
come with smiles, come
with balloons, bubbles, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
as well as the medicine. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Show them that people care. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |

The leadership of South Africa's
ruling ANC is meeting this lunchtime | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
to decide on the future of
President Zuma. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
He has remained in office
despite repeated calls | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
for him to stand down
amid allegations of corruption. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:01 | |
The new ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa,
has issued an ultimatum, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
that Mr Zuma must stand down,
or be forced out. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Pumza Fihlani is in Pretoria. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:13 | |
What are the chances of Jacob Zuma
finally learning his fate today? I'm | 0:20:13 | 0:20:21 | |
sorry, we seem to have lost the line
to South Africa. We might bring you | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
that story. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
Rescue workers have found the second
black box flight recorder | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
from an airliner that crashed
near Moscow over the weekend, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
killing all 71 people on board. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
Russia's Emergencies Minister says
he wants the ongoing | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
search operation to be
completed this evening. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Weather conditions, human error
and technical failure | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
are being considered as possible
causes of the crash. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:51 | |
It's estimated that £3-4 billion | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
is being laundered every year
in Europe via so-called | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin -
that's according to the director | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
of the law enforcement
agency Europol. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
Rob Wainwright has told the BBC's
Panorama programme that more | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
regulation is now urgently needed. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:07 | |
Spencer Kelly reports. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:15 | |
A cryptocurrency mine, almost hidden
in Iceland's snowy landscape. These | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
mines manage currencies like
Bitcoin. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:26 | |
Bitcoin. There are in their owners
cryptocurrency to doing so and many | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
have popped up to cash in. Every
single one of these is a desktop | 0:21:29 | 0:21:36 | |
computer. There are thousands of
them, all wired together. This | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
particular mine contains 20,000
machines, a very expensive setup. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
Unlike with normal currencies,
Bitcoin transactions pass through | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
machines not through a bank. Because
there's no central point, it's hard | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
to trace the money as moves around.
The criminals, it's an almost | 0:21:57 | 0:22:03 | |
perfect system for money-laundering,
something of growing concern to the | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
charities. There are three or £4
billion worth of dirty money being | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
laundered each year I think in
Europe through virtual currencies. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
It's still a small proportion of the
overall amount, but it's quickly | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
growing. Because this is an
unregulated area, highly and an | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
iced, very difficult for the police
to identify who's cashing this out, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:32 | |
we need the help of regulators and
legislators. Politicians admit the | 0:22:32 | 0:22:38 | |
recent cryptocurrency frenzy has
called them asleep at the wheel. I | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
think that to date cryptocurrency
hasn't been on Parliament's agenda. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:48 | |
I think probably hand on heart we've
all been too slow, but the | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
opportunity isn't lost and we should
get on with the job now. Some | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
investors have made a lot of money
from Bitcoin. Tim Draper correctly | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
predicted the body would explode
last year, and pocketed hundreds of | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
millions of dollars. If we bang, it
could easily go to a million in any | 0:23:04 | 0:23:17 | |
given period of time. Because
depending on people's perception and | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
how excited they are and how the
press portrays it and how | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
governments push it around. Others,
even the infamous scammer known | 0:23:28 | 0:23:42 | |
even the infamous scammer known as
the Wolf of Wall Street... It's easy | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
to think this is going to be the
next big thing. People are | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
mortgaging their homes, taking loans
out on their credit cards, putting | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
their last dollars in two Bitcoin.
The ones that get slaughtered the | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
most at the end of the day the
average mums and dads. It is these | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
concerns that have led Lloyds bank
and Virgin Money to ban the buying | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
and selling of cryptocurrency with
credit cards. And with calls for | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
worldwide regulation, the rules
around cryptocurrency could soon be | 0:24:09 | 0:24:15 | |
much more controlled. Spencer Kelly,
BBC News. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
And you can see the full report
tonight on Panorama, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
that's at 8.30 on BBC One. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:30 | |
Let's return to the ANC meeting
taking place in South Africa | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
deciding the fate of Jacob Zuma. I
was asking you earlier what are the | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
chances that Mr Zuma will finally
learn what's going to happen to him? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:47 | |
It certainly seems the writing is on
the wall. This is officially D-Day | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
for the country's president. The
African National Congress have made | 0:24:51 | 0:24:56 | |
no secret they've run out of
patience. We understand that behind | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
me in the conference room the party
is going to officially make a | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
decision to recall him. The stakes
are high, political parties are | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
planning to begin campaigning for
the national elections which are | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
meant to be in 2019, and the ANC
doesn't want to begin the race with | 0:25:10 | 0:25:16 | |
President Jacob Zuma still
lingering. Thank you. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:22 | |
The first pictures have been
released of an iceberg, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
which has broken away
from the Antarctic ice | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
sheet, and it's four
times the size of London. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
Scientists say they're on an urgent
mission to document the marine eco | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
system of the Continent,
hidden for more than | 0:25:32 | 0:25:39 | |
100,000 years. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
Our science correspondent
Victoria Gill has the details. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
A new perspective on a 6000 square
kilometre swathe of floating ice. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:48 | |
So the iceberg is 150 kilometres
long, 50 kilometres wide, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
and will be about 150 metres deep. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:57 | |
You will be able to see the first
20-30 metres above the water, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
and everything else is underneath. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
The trillion tonne A-68 iceberg
is gradually drifting away | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
from the Antarctic continent
and into the sea. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
It's these ice-filled waters
and the sea floor beneath them that | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
scientists are now to explore. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:20 | |
In the British Antarctic Survey
vessel, the James Clark Ross, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
a team will spend three weeks
studying the marine life that has | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
been locked away here for millennia. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
They've described it
as a treacherous but urgent mission. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
There are likely to be
new species discovered, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
as researchers seek out
the creatures that make their home | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
beneath the vast ice sheet. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
We have no idea what living
underneath these huge ice shelves. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:43 | |
We assume it is animals that
are specially adapted to life | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
without green food and vegetarian,
so we have a lot of | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
scavengers and carnivores. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
So we expect animals
like in the deep sea, | 0:26:50 | 0:26:57 | |
that doesn't have light as well. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
But the team also hopes
to understand the processes that | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
caused the iceberg to break away. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
This could reveal more
about just how this fragile, | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
frozen wilderness at the bottom
of the world will change | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
as the climate warms. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:08 | |
Victoria Gill, BBC News. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Bad weather's making headlines again
at the Winter Olympics | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
in South Korea, but this time it's
not the cold, but the wind that's | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
making life challenging
for the competitors. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
The final of the women's giant
slalom has now been postponed. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
And after the heats of the women's
snowboard slopestyle | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
were cancelled yesterday,
today's final did go ahead, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
but in conditions some
described as "dangerous". | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
From Pyeongchang,
Andy Swiss reports. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:39 | |
Just getting to the
start was a struggle. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
Howling winds for the women's
snowboarders and soon | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
a blizzard of controversy. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
Instead of postponing, they went
ahead, with calamitous results. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
Instead of postponing, they went
ahead, with calamitous results. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:53 | |
COMMENTATOR: Goodness me! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Quite how no one was injured,
especially Slovakia's Klaudia | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
Medlova, almost defied belief. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
As one after another,
their hopes crash landed. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
All of the 25 riders fell
at some point, including | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Britain's Aimee Fuller. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
The wind forced to pull out
of a jump on her first run, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
which meant on the second
it was all or nothing, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
and agonisingly it was the latter. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:19 | |
Fuller finished 17th,
but more importantly, intact. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
The conditions, she said,
where simply brutal. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:27 | |
It felt like I had
a sailboat under my board. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
The wind ripped me sideways. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |
There wasn't a chance
I was going to land. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
So, yeah, devastated. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:40 | |
Amidst the chaos, America's Jamie
Anderson kept her balance | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
and her Olympic title. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:43 | |
Organisers felt it had been safe
to start the final, but was it? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:48 | |
The coaches and judges,
they all have a chat together | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
and make a decision at the top
of the slope. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
I wonder what went on in that
conversation, why somebody didn't | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
say let's postpone this. | 0:28:55 | 0:29:01 | |
say let's postpone this. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
These biting winds have already
blown the schedule off course. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
Today's women's giant slalom
had to be postponed, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
and with more high winds forecast
tomorrow there could | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
be more disruption. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:13 | |
For now though, there will be relief
no one was badly hurt, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
on a day when extreme sport
certainly lived up to its name. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
And the Swiss, BBC
News, Pyeongchang. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:27 | |
The makers of a new film adaptation
of the Peter rabbit books have | 0:29:28 | 0:29:33 | |
apologised over the treatment of a
character who has food allergies. In | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
one scene the boy who is allergic to
blackberries is pelted with the | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
fruit by a gang of rabbits. The
charity Allergy UK says it | 0:29:41 | 0:29:47 | |
trivialises a life-threatening
condition. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
Pretty terrible weather in South
Korea, what about here? We are going | 0:29:51 | 0:29:57 | |
Pretty terrible weather in South
Korea, what about here? We are going | 0:29:57 | 0:29:57 | |
to have some pretty strong winds
over the next 24 hours. Over the | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
weekend we've had a number of snow
showers which has left a covering of | 0:30:01 | 0:30:06 | |
snow in places. In Staffordshire
we've got some snow on the ground at | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
the moment. Although today's weather
is quite quiet, it's going to cause | 0:30:10 | 0:30:15 | |
some problems not just in terms of
wind overnight. Some of us will also | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
see a spell of heavy snow. Most
areas having dry weather with | 0:30:19 | 0:30:26 | |
sunshine. There are wintry showers
across the north-west. Here the | 0:30:26 | 0:30:31 | |
showers will be heavy and showery
with hail and blunder mixed in. It | 0:30:31 | 0:30:36 | |
feels quite cold if you're out and
about. Overnight tonight that wind | 0:30:36 | 0:30:42 | |
will continue to pick up in
strength. Could see gusts of wind up | 0:30:42 | 0:30:47 | |
to 70 miles an hour. The thing that
most of all catches your eye is the | 0:30:47 | 0:30:55 | |
rain turning to snow. The White
indicating weather heavy snow is | 0:30:55 | 0:30:59 | |
likely to be falling. That will
cause some problems out and about as | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
we look at the rush hour for
Tuesday. The snow coming down very | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
heavily. With 5-10 centimetres of
snow expected over higher parts of | 0:31:07 | 0:31:13 | |
Scotland, down further south if you
centimetres could cause problems on | 0:31:13 | 0:31:18 | |
the roads. Similar for parts of
Northern Ireland and the Cumbrian | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
fells. Further south, a bit more of
a mixture. You're more likely to see | 0:31:21 | 0:31:27 | |
a spell of link rain across southern
counties of England. The rain grinds | 0:31:27 | 0:31:33 | |
to a halt late in the afternoon.
Cold and dank in the East of | 0:31:33 | 0:31:39 | |
England. Elsewhere some sunshine but
feeling cold. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:46 | |
feeling cold. As that front clears
out of the way, clearing skies could | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
allow a frost and risk of icy
stretches. Further west on Wednesday | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
we've got the same kind of scenario.
Strong winds followed by another | 0:31:53 | 0:31:58 | |
weather front. The snow mainly
targeting the high ground of | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
northern England and Scotland. The
rain could be quite heavy. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:07 | |
Temperatures struggling across
eastern areas but further west it | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
could get milder. Temperatures
pushing up to 9 degrees in Plymouth | 0:32:10 | 0:32:14 | |
and Belfast as well. Looking towards
the end of the week and the weekend, | 0:32:14 | 0:32:20 | |
high pressure building across the
South. Becoming dry across southern | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
areas. We should see things turning
milder over the next few days. A | 0:32:24 | 0:32:31 | |
spell of disruptive snow on the
cards across parts of the north of | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
the UK overnight tonight and into
tomorrow as well. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:44 | |
A reminder of our main
story this lunchtime. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Oxfam is in crisis talks
with the Government, | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
over the scandal of aid workers
using prostitutes in | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
in Haiti, seven years ago. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
in Haiti, seven years ago. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
The International Development
Secretary at the time said the | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
charity didn't explain the full
extent of what happened. I think | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
Oxfam were economic or with the
truth about what they were | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
investigating. They may have stuck
by the letter of the rules, but they | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
certainly didn't stick by the
spirit. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:31 |
