And, team gbs aimee fullerfeels the force of the weather at the Winter Olympics in south korea.

Within the past few hours, the Charity Commission has launched a statutory inquiry into oxfam, citing concerns that the charity might not have fully and frankly disclosed, all the details about some of its workers in haiti in 2011. Earlier today, 0xfams deputy chief executive resigned following allegations of Sexual Misconduct involving some of its staff. Penny lawrence said she took full responsibility, and said she was ashamed this had happened on her watch. Our special correspondent lucy manning reports. Haitis red light district. Prostitution is illegal here, but that didnt stop some of 0xfams aid workers. The charity now admitting it knew knew about concerns about its team and prostitutes, not just in haiti, but also in chad, and that nothing was done. Widza bryant worked in Human Resources in haiti for 0xfam from 2009 for three years. She says she flagged concerns and was ignored. There was a lot of rumours on the ground about management and leaders exploiting the locals, sexually and in other ways, to get jobs, and to have good standing. So these were ongoing rumours that would come to me through the drivers and other employees. So, on many occasions, i would share those rumours with my boss. The blame now stretching almost to the top of oxfam. The charitys deputy chief executive, penny lawrence, now resigning. She was Programme Director when the prostitution allegations were made and ignored. She said, i am ashamed this happened on my watch and i take full responsibility. The actions of senior 0xfam employee Roland Van Hauwermeiren in chad and haiti never properly dealt with. At that time, the use of prostitutes was not explicitly contrary to 0xfams code of conduct. Bringing 0xfam into disrepute, in any way abusing people who may have been beneficiaries, of course, was. So there was an exploration of how should the Organisation Respond . But we didnt act on it and, more significantly, we allowed him because there werent formal complaints we allowed him to move onto another post, and that was our failing. So will there need to be more resignations . I still feel we have not done enough. If it is felt by those who employ me that i am not doing that forcefully enough, or well enough, they will have my resignation straightaway. 0xfams bosses were called in to meet ministers this morning with question marks about the £32 million the charity receives from the government. Ministers here at the department for International Development know British Charities do good work overseas, but with 0xfam only telling half the story about what happened with its staff in haiti, it has now put pressure on the entire charity sector. 0xfam says it investigated 87 allegations of sexual abuse or exploitation last year. Save the children says it looked into 31 cases of Sexual Misconduct, where half the people were fired. And christian aid said it had two cases one was reported to the Charity Commission. I dont think anybody can say in good faith, operating in an environment like ours, that we can eliminate all risk as a matter of 100 certainty. What we can do is put in our 100 best effort to keep these people out of our organisation. The Charity Commission says it receives reports about 1,000 incidents involving safeguarding from charities every year. But a culture of cover up not the image charities want. Lucy manning, bbc news. Lets get some reaction in haiti today and talk to our correspondent will grant who is in port au prince. Wahab will grant who is in port au prince. Wa hab keith will grant who is in port au prince. Wahab keith hill been saying in response to 0xfams difficulties . Ive been speaking to some senior government sources in haiti and they say they are going to watch an investigation into the allegations of abuse at 0xfam. They say they fear it could be the tip of the iceberg and they want to widen that investigation into other aid agencies operating in the country. Of course, its important to remember the context when it comes to haiti, this is one of the poorest countries in the world, the poorest country in the americas, and as such is very reliant on foreign aid. If 0xfa m is very reliant on foreign aid. If 0xfam would leave altogether it would have an impact on a lot of the poorer small communities where 0xfam operates. That said, a lot of the haitians i been speaking to have expressed real anger at what they see as impunity by International Aid agencies for the way they have behaved here and it is clearly going to ta ke behaved here and it is clearly going to take a long time for 0xfam to recover its reputation in haiti. Many thanks for the latest, will grant in haiti with some of the latest thoughts. Our special correspondent lucy manning is here. Asi as i was saying earlier, more pressure on 0xfam as i was saying earlier, more pressure on oxfam tonight. The problems are mounting for 0xfam, the Charity Commission that regulate charities announced it is going to investigate 0xfam to see whether they did hand over all of the information about these allegations about the use of prostitutes in haiti in 2011. The European Commission which funds 0xfam to the tune of around £30 million a year said that could stop if standards are not met, and a difficult meeting between the charities and the secretary of state Penny Mordaunt on 0xfa m secretary of state Penny Mordaunt on 0xfam apologising unreservedly, saying it felt disgraced and shame about what happened. She has given it the rest of this week to sort out how it will deal with any further allegations. And scrutiny now for allegations. And scrutiny now for all charities because shes written to them all, all of those working overseas, saying they need to make sure that any allegations of sexual abuse have been passed to the releva nt abuse have been passed to the relevant authorities. No doubt about this, this is a real shock wave for the charity sector. Lucy manning, thank you, our special correspondent. Relatives and friends have been paying tribute to three british tourists, who were killed in a Helicopter Crash in the grand canyon at the weekend. Becky dobson and brothers stuart and jason hill, all originally from worthing in west sussex, died on saturday. Four survivors of the crash had to wait several hours to be rescued, as our correspondent james cook reports. Its just before sunset in the grand canyon and a helicopter is ablaze. On board were three british couples and a local pilot. Two men in white shirts approach one of the survivors, seen on the bottom right of the picture. Three of the tourists died at the scene.

Stuarts brotherjason hill, a lawyer near milton keynes, also died. He was 32 years old. His girlfriend survived. Also on board were newlyweds seen here on the left at their wedding with becky and stuart.

As excellent night of the college they have gone on with their passions to enjoy their young lives, going through their careers as they have wa nted through their careers as they have wanted and to get to the stage in their life and die so young is just devastating. In the minutes after the crash passengers and crew from other helicopters in the area rushed to help. They included a nurse, katie kineally. When we finally got some medical equipment down there i started helping putting in iv lines and another crew came with pain medication so i started administering that, gave them fluids to help prevent them going to shock, kept a really close eye and did what i could do. The helicopter took off from boulder city in nevada travelling through the grand canyon and crashed in the remote Quartermaster Canyon in arizona at 5 20pm. A dust storm at rescue teams had to walk to the scene. It was 2am, nearly nine hours later before the survivors were flown to hospital. We were not able to extra ct hospital. We were not able to extract everybody from the crash site until 2am this morning. High winds, brownout dust conditions, rugged terrain, and as you know, when you fly in treacherous conditions like this you have to have special training and special people. The grand canyon is attractive because it is untamed, drawing visitors from all over the world. The tour company Papillion Airways flies around 600,000 people a year, this crash involving a euro co pter a year, this crash involving a euro copter ec 130 is the firms second fiddle accident here. The three british survivors and pilot are being treated at this hospital in las vegas, all four said to be in critical condition. Investigators are at the hospital and ijust critical condition.

Hes been resisting calls to stand down amid allegations of corruption. But over the weekend the partys new leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, said the question of his position would be finalised today. 0ur africa editor fergal keane is in pretoria. Has it been finalised . There is a sense of high Political Drama tonight here, reliable sources at that meeting are saying that president zuma has been given 48 hours to resign. Just about an hour ago, the anc president Cyril Ramaphosa left here in a convoy and apparently went to the residence of president zuma to deliver that message. Within the last few minutes he has returned, possibly with a response. Now, if president zuma agrees to resign there should be a relatively calm, smooth transition. But if he says no, the anc is faced with the possibility of either having to move a motion of no confidence against him in parliament, or impeach him. That would risk splitting apart africas old est would risk splitting apart africas oldest Liberation Movement and into this country a new element of instability. We are waiting here. It could go on for more hours. They have already been talking for ten hours but there is a sense that momentous decisions are on the way. Many thanks for the update in pretoria, fergal keane, ourafrica editor. A brief look at some of the days other other news stories. London city airport remains closed, after an unexploded bomb from the Second World War was found in the river thames, not far from the runway.

British tourists will be able to resume Package Holidays to tunisia from tomorrow for the First Time Since a terror attack claimed the lives of 38 people at a beach resort in 2015. The first fully booked flights from manchester and birmingham will be operated by thomas cook. 0ur security correspondent Frank Gardner has just returned from tunisia, with this exclusive report. Tunis by night, and a National Guard unit prepares to raid a suspected terrorist hideout. Since two devastating attacks in 2015, this country has found vowed to stamp out terrorism and make tunisia safe for tourists. Well, theyve just gone into a house here. We can hear some shouts. Were in a tiny little backstreet, and theyre looking for members of an isis cell that has been in libya, they suspect, so the whole street is flooded with these armed National Guard soldiers. Three years ago, on this beach near sousse, an isis gunman shot dead 38 people, 30 of them british. Now, tunisia is getting training from royal navy instructors in maritime security, while met Police Detectives have been training up hotel staff. At four key airports, British Aviation experts have installed new screening equipment. So i asked britains ambassador, how safe is it now . Well, no country is 100 safe, as we saw with the tragic attacks in london and manchester last year. But it is safer here than it was in 2015, because the tunisians capability has improved. In the resort town of hammamet, where thomas cook is taking the first returning british tourists, i asked the Hotel Manager what precautions hes taking. We have around 60 cameras all around the hotel. The exterior cameras are all monitored 24 hours by persons behind the screens. But tunisia sits in a dangerous neighbourhood. Across this border, libya is in chaos, and isis has bases. The manchester bomber trained in libya, and so did the sousse gunman. Back in the capital tunis, the night raid yields results. Suspects are arrested and will now face trial. Tunisia has made huge progress against terrorism, but if its tourist industry is to recover fully, it will need to stay vigilant. Frank gardner, bbc news, tunisia. The Prime Minister says there is the basis of an agreement to restore power sharing in Northern Ireland soon. She and the taoiseach held talks at stormont in an attempt to end the deadlock over key issues including the status of the Irish Language. 0ur island correspondent has the latest. The Prime Minister began her visit to belfast at a place that was recently the seed of an unexpected victory. Hundreds of jobs had been under threat at the aircraft manufacturer bombardier. They are safe now after winning a trade dispute against boeing in the us. Theresa may came to Northern Ireland looking for another win. Talks to restore stormont are at a critical stage. I have urged the parties to make the final push to see if we can get an executive up and running. I believe there is the basis of an agreement and it should be possible to see an executive in Northern Ireland very soon. She was joined by the taoiseach, who shares her optimism. The differences that exist between dup and sinn fein are not insurmountable and we are hopeful they will come to agreement this week. The main Sticking Point has been whether there should be a new law to protect and promote the Irish Language. For speakers, new law to protect and promote the Irish Language. Forspeakers, irish is about identity and culture and history and they believe it needs legal recognition. It needs equality and to be on the same level of the languages in scotland and wales. It needs to be on an equal footing. Languages in scotland and wales. It needs to be on an equal footingm unionist areas there is suspicion and even hostility towards the idea. Here on the Shankill Road in west belfast, people are strongly opposed. This is a british country, not an irish country. I think it is terrible. The Irish Language has been a sensitive and symbolic issue in this long political crisis but there are other differences between there are other differences between the parties, notably sinn fein want to legalise same sex marriage and the dup do not. There are disagreements over how the unsolved killings from the troubles should be investigated. The irish border is a significant matter in the brexit negotiations, which is one reason parties say they want devolution back. It is about finding an accommodation that recognises the need to respect all languages and cultures in Northern Ireland. The issues have been difficult but they we re never issues have been difficult but they were never beyond resolution. What were never beyond resolution. What we want is to finalise a deal. Theresa may left with the stormont situation still unresolved but the mood improved. Events in the next few days will determine whether power sharing returns. The United Nations says it is gravely concerned about the escalating violence in the democratic republic of congo, with thousands fleeing the northeast of the country, because of the continuing conflict between ethnic groups. The humanitarian situation across the country has drastically worsened over the past year in total, some five Million People have been displaced. Fighting has flared up across three provinces, the latest in ituri, where more than 20,000 people have fled into neighbouring uganda since friday. 0ur Deputy Africa editor anne soy sent this special report, which does contain some distressing images. This shore has become a safe haven. Thousands of congolese cross lake albert every day, forced to run from ethnic violence. They carry what they can. More than half of those fleeing are children. It is a perilous journey from the congolese border to the ugandan side. Some of these people are using vessels that are not very safe, and in some cases, the lake is rough. We have heard reports of vessels like this one capsizing. But desperate refugees have little choice. They either risk being attacked and killed at home or dying in the water. People on this canoe almost made it. It sank just before it reached the shore. Four of those on board drowned. The body of this three year old was later washed up on shore. 0nly his father survived. Translation i was travelling with my brother, my son and two of people. I swam to the shore after heavy winds overturned our canoe. The pain of losing an only child. His mother came on a different boat. She was waiting to receive him here, alive. 47 year old emile nguzuma says his family hid in the bush when their village was attacked. When they came out, he found four of his children had been butchered. Fearing further attacks, he took the remaining eight children and fled. Translation we could not bury them. The enemy doesnt like us burying our dead. They chop them up. You cannot even recognise them. Lam sad. My heart is troubled. I dont know what we did to wrong them. Many here have harrowing stories. This man tells me 16 members of his extended family were killed. The death toll from the clashes across the border is still unknown. This is the largest refugee flight from drcs ituri area since the last ethnic massacre nearly 20 years ago. More than 60,000 people were killed then. Conflict has kept these residents of one of the Eastern Region poor, and the current flare up has now given them a deeper into destitution. Aid organisations are scrambling to deal with the influx. What are the tags for . To make sure that we have accurate numbers in relation to how many people come through. Because we move people so quickly, we dont want to lose them, and this way we also dont want peoplejoining on. Right. From the testimonies we have had, there are many more congolese gathered on the other side of the border, so it is expected in the coming days, refugees will continue to arrive here in large numbers. Here they hope for a new beginning. For some, like this mother of three, this is now their new home. Her country of birth robbed her of her husband. She has vowed never to go back. The minister in charge of persuading more couples to share their parental leave has revealed hes not allowed to take part in the scheme. The business minister andrew griffiths, who is due to become a father in april, said that as an Office Holder rather than an employee, he was not eligible. His comments were made as the government launched a new publicity drive to encourage a higher take up of shared parental leave, which currently stands at an estimated 2 , as our correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports. Charlotte and david take it in terms to read james a bedtime story. All childcare is split 50 50 and so was pa rental leave, childcare is split 50 50 and so was parental leave, with both deciding to ta ke parental leave, with both deciding to take six months off work. |j parental leave, with both deciding to take six months off work. I think both of us felt it would be nice to post have the opportunity to bond with the baby in the first year. But also for both of us to have the chance to go back to work. So that neither of us had to really choose as much, make such a stark choice. There is a strong thought that mums stay at home and look after the kids. I think we felt strongly that was not what we wanted. 285,000 couples are eligible to take shared pa rental leave couples are eligible to take shared parental leave every year and it allows them to share 50 weeks of leave and off that 50 they can be paid for 37 weeks, but the government estimates the take up could be as low as 2 . Andrew griffiths the business minister in charge of the policy is due to be a father in april but admitted he will not be able to take advantage of the scheme. Ministers are not allowed to ta ke scheme. Ministers are not allowed to take shared parental leave. I am now i think going to be. It is because iaman i think going to be. It is because i am an Office Holder, not an employee youre not allowed . Bat is right. How can you say it without laughing . For most, a ministerial role is not the issue. Cultural and financial reasons play a part. It is paid out £141 a week, roughly half the National Living wage so for many families it is hard to think that the mother will lose her wage for a number of weeks and months but particularly for the couples where he is the higher wage earner it becomes difficult to budget at that level. Sharing parental leave is a personal and professional decision. I was there for his important milestones, crawling, walking, not just hearing about him walking and talking, i was the one he was walking towards with his first steps. The government plans to spend 1. 5 million to publicise the scheme but it is the financial cost to families that is the biggest obstacle. The singer vic damone has died at the age of 89. Best known for the hits youre breaking my heart and on the street where you live, he was part of the golden age of singers who came to fame after the Second World War, including frank sinatra, tony bennett and dean martin. High winds have disrupted the winter Olympic Games in pyeongchang, where the final of the womens giant slalom had to be postponed and conditions in the Womens Slopestyle final were described as absolutely brutal. The Team Gb Snowboarder aimee fuller was one of those whose performance was affected she crashed on herfinaljump and finished in 17th position. From pyeongchang, our Sports Correspondent andy swiss reports. Just getting to the start was a struggle. Howling winds for the womens snowboarders and soon a blizzard of controversy. Instead of postponing, they went ahead, with calamitous results. Commentator 0h, goodness me. Quite how no one was injured, especially slovakias klaudia medlova, almost defied belief, as one after another, their hopes crash landed. All of the 25 riders fell at some point, including britains aimee fuller. The wind forced her to pull out of a jump on herfirst run, which meant on the second it was all or nothing, and, agonisingly, it was the latter. Fullerfinished17th, but, more importantly, intact. The conditions, she said, were simply brutal. It felt like i had a sailboat under my board. The wind just ripped me sideways. There was not a chance i was going to land. So, yeah, devastated. Amidst the chaos, americas Jamie Anderson kept her balance and her olympic title. Organisers felt it had been safe to start the final, but was it . The coaches and judges, they all have a chat together and they make a decision at the top of the slope. And i wonder what went on in that conversation, why somebody didnt say, lets postpone this. These biting winds have already blown the schedule off course. Todays womens giant slalom had to be postponed, and with more high winds forecast tomorrow, there could be more disruption. For now, though, there will be relief no one was badly hurt, on a day when extreme sport certainly lived up to its name. Andy swiss, bbc news, pyeongchang. Early morning here and organisers will keep theirfingers Early Morning here and organisers will keep their fingers crossed for the weather. The wind is howling already but the good news for spectators is temperatures are forecast to rise. Could this be the day team gb win their first medal . Speed skater Elise Christie going for gold in the 500 metres. Elise christie is a triple World Champion and probably britains best hope of and probably britains best hope of a medal at these games. She is competing in three events and the 500 metres probably her least favoured but she looked impressive in qualifying where
