A Top Executive of the British Charity oxfam past resigned over allegations of Sexual Misconduct by some of its staff in haiti deputy chief executive penny lawrence said she was taking responsibility for the organizations failure to react to internally youve raised concerns the allegations center on seven oxfam employees sexual abuse prostitutes including some who are under age well who are in haiti after the twenty times earthquake concerns about some of the Staff Members were raised even before they started working in haiti has denied covering the allegations. Lets get more from correspondent mass in london welcome burkitt so untangle this for us there the deputy chief executive is going because of alleged misbehavior or allegations of a cur coverup. Well i mean the fact that these allegations are standing are really quite severe you have to imagine that after the devastating earthquake and haiti for people as it is alleged for aid workers to go in and in a village that was rented for them by oxfam employ prostitutes and the allegations are under age prostitutes you know that is something thats quite severe and as its being discussed it was knowing that some of these workers were already investigated internally there were already allegations that they had misbehaved in a similar way in and so the allegations as it stands is that the information was not fully disclosed for example not to the haitian or thirtys the police and also not fully to in the u. K. For example the Charity Commission who oversees charities like so i like oxfam said that they had there were there were reports that there were these internal investigations and but they didnt know the full extent of what had really gone on or else they would have acted differently so at the moment its still unclear but the allegations are really quite severe. Oxfam is a huge brand its a huge charity operating internationally its also partially funded by the British Government now about funding seems to be in jeopardy. Yes its one of the household names really when it comes to to foreign aid especially here in the u. K. And theres an oxford phone shop almost on every high street a charity shop so its really extremely well known and i think also how its in quite high regard by the majority of british people and as a consequence of the off this whole scandal which you know is only just now unwrapping the International Development secretary has said that she needs to see real moral leadership at the top of the organization or else that the state could not continue to Work Together with them for the last financial years over thirty. Million pounds where were given talks from so really quite large sums of money lots of small donations as well that they distribute worldwide and also the International Development secretary said they are a lot of people who do really great work at a time when foreign aid anyway is being discussed and the amount of as being criticised by a lot of conservative m. P. s it comes at a at a very a time for the organization in london thank you. This is david lee news live from still to come critics accuse germanys chancellor of clinging to power at all costs but how close are we to the end of im going to map it was right. World leaders under satirical d. W. Visits the german city of cologne as carnival season gets underway. Got a roller coaster ride on the markets continues hello to humphreys well update you know certainly does you need a strong stomach i think fairly if you if youre an investor in the United States right now because the last couple of weeks so new york stocks down ten percent in officially entering a correction amidst which wild. This week trading got underway there with the dow jones meeting by three hundred points at the start now its up four hundred points to stop the pace beat down same back and that was we came to me is the uncertainty sparked by fears of growing inflation which could force faster than expected rate rises on the Federal Reserve will all eyes this week will be on the u. S. Inflation figures the jew out of wednesday if the rate tops one point seven percent it could be a case of hang on to your hats once again. Well meanwhile european shares rallied today taking a cue from asia which saw calm come to the stock market is their major european benchmarks closed in positive territory and the euro also managed to gain about a quarter of a percent since its close on friday. Equity markets in frankfurt ended their string of last weeks losses and are now suddenly back in positive territory blue chips in the dax index jumped up by nearly one and a half percent at the end of trading. But on friday the dax closed at its lowest level since september shares had lost over ten percent since highs last month something most experts in frankfurt could simply not forget. Readers here are just as worried as hell square not very many smiles here on the floor and to be honest actually none because people are seeing it went down with a lot of volume and its recovering now with less volume partly with very little volume thats a bad sign. But speaking at a weekend conference in dubai i. M. F. Managing director Christine Legarde told investors not to worry those market movements were clearly in our view necessary market corrections the markets have function well theres plenty of financing that is Still Available to finance the economy analysts are now waiting for the next u. S. Inflation report due on wednesday if that fans inflationary fears it could very well start another rollercoaster ride on equity markets. Well Global Demand for oil will grow fossa than expected this year thats according to the organization of the maturity of exporting countries or opec the Group Expects the moment for crude oil to rise by over one and a half Million Barrels per day now thats up sixty thousand Barrels Per Day from its previous monthly Market Report now you might be wondering whats driving that increase when so many countries have signed up to move away from the black stuff opec says an expanding Global Economy is the main driver as off teddie vehicle sales in the u. S. China and india and crude prices inched up on monday following the updated opec for cost. And that lift in the oil price coming as a relief for a country so dependent on the black sticky stuff like iraq and after war with Islamic State the nation is trying to rebuild itself when. Help from abroad and aid groups pledging three hundred thirty Million Dollars on the first day of an International Reconstruction conference in kuwait but iraq needs a lot more especially considering what some officials are saying they reckon that the u. S. Is refusing to give. One Observer Says there may be dona fatigue but no one can say that there isnt the money when theres money to continue fighting. Rebuilding iraq will cost eighty eight point two billion dollars after years of civil war and decades of under investment thats according to the Planning Ministry complicating matters is the fact that the country is effectively under two governments theres the autonomous kurdistan region in the north with around forty five billion barrels of oil reserves the rest of iraq has at least one hundred fifty billion barrels. But its difficult to get reliable data from a country like iraq which is plagued by political instability but whats clear is just how dependent the country is on oil. Its estimated to account for around ninety two percent of overall state revenues. That some fifty seven billion out of sixty eight billion u. S. Dollars. The Iraqi Government is currently looking for investors for refineries pipelines and production facilities at its mind you can or oil field one of the countrys largest the government hopes to double output and the chinese Led Consortium could be the favorite to take over the field. State owned petro china is already the largest foreign investor in iraq and it could work with us chevron and francis to tout to exploit the field other big players include exxon mobil russian look at oil and british petroleum. But the worlds second Largest Oil CompanyRoyal Dutch Shell was less optimistic about the field saying it wasnt profitable enough its pulled out and plans to focus instead on Gas Production now its not often that we see german chancellor Angela Merkel agree to a one on one interview but she has phil has more yes sadly was me who did the interview. Here it was her first interview since the deal for a new government and germanys chancellor used it to quash rumors that she will step down early to make way for a new generation of leaders. Who has faced growing dissent from their own party a she struggled to form a new Coalition Government. Angela merkel defied her critics and prime time t. V. Vowing to see the coming legislative period through d. C. Office and its a four years to help promised and i am one of those people who keeps their promises. Nachle has come under criticism from within have Party Funding key ministerial positions to the social democrats and for disregarding young c. D. U. Talent. The. Theres frustration among the rank and file ive been hearing that every day for the past three days nonstop. I think we need a big team of younger people but also older ones a mix of new minds and experience ones and if we can manage to present ourselves as a team at this Party Conference then it will be a successful Party Conference but. It should be clear who the ministers will be by the seed to use upcoming Party Conference on february twenty sixth the chancellor has promised that they will include young up and coming politicians. So lets get more obvious from krauss us from is a political scientist from both ends of Humboldt University welcome to d w this is a chance of a who doesnt do interviews so whats behind this interview i think its because she was really or she still is on a lot of pressure not only from the voters from the citizens but also from her very own party from from the other politicians in the conservative party so how much trouble is she had because when you when you look at the polls ok. Standing has dropped but shes still seen as the safest pair of political hands that germany has its two i mean shes definitely not in as much trouble as watching shows for example or any other right now but still i mean is specially for her as if the she for the relationship between the conservatives and merkel its a really difficult time for her because usually she has been seen as sort of the the very most important person in the c. D. U. But right now other people are coming up and trying to follow her the deal with the s. P. D. Involved given the social democrat democrat some some key ministries including finance Foreign Ministry and just this government a coalition necessarily means doing that so why is this being seen as a loss for the conservatives because i mean they had this time they really had to give up a lot of these very important ministries and especially the finance ministry was really important in the last couple of years especially with regard to the European Union right so the austerity politics within the European Union so right now i think. The members of the conservatives are rather unhappy with the distribution of ministries especially because the c. D. C. s you actually got the interior ministry so theres not a lot of these very important for you. Left or for the c. D. U. Such so the leaders of the conservatives and the s. P. D. Have agreed this deal is that it now is the deal done. Definitely not let i mean we still have the Party Convention from the conservative party and then most importantly we have the. Referendum of the s. P. D. Where they have to approve the Coalition Agreement so well see what happens then is not done yet any cross thank you. Terms of the revellers have been celebrating rose monday in the german carnival stronghold of cologne and duesseldorf revelers used comedy to shine a light on political issues that have dominated the news over the last year.

Collections rose monday parade is eight kilometers long three hundred tons of sweets a passed out among the crowds hundreds of Thousands Party on the streets the mood. There could become people from cologne are known for being especially warm hearted and for taking in a lot of people here in the city and for being friendly to everyone and thats totally increases on a day like today complaints. Made fine weather but the seams of the floats are traditionally rather political critical and above all provocative. British Prime Minister to resign may dragging young brits out of their beloved e. U. North koreas leader kim jong un dirty dancing with a new clear message aisle. U. S. President donald trump has a steamroller flattening everything and his path. And innocent tourists behind bars here technically directs have time have added one is lampooned. Political chaos everywhere to the rafa lets say. To sports and wind is wreaking havoc in the in the on the olympics and culture crying from the dopiest forces here to talk about the effects of the weather welcome theres been a lot made about the wind so far these games whats happening now i mean when from picks youd expect it to have wintry conditions when you get a lot of people to. And speaking out about safety issues because of the wind as you can see from these pictures here blustery conditions wind speeds of up to fifty miles an hour wind chills down to Fifteen Degrees minus Fifteen Degrees celsius now with several events already been postponed for the mens downhill on sunday there womens giant slalom to day out plain skiing events obviously the higher up the mountains you have the wind its going to be now the i. O. C. Has come out today and said look were never going to jeopardize the safety of our athletes safety is our number one priority but they obviously think that is still safe enough to have some advance go ahead theyve also said that this should be no worries about the shed job because obviously weve had some cancellations the recent buff its time to face everything in a big fight of both of. The athletes been reacting well some of the athletes are quite angry because theyre saying that we shouldnt be competing in these conditions and they think the event should have been canceled and for those was the snowboard slopestyle final today look at this white house all over the place. And even the eventual winner Jamie Anderson is were going to see his she was also struggling every right to fight at least one of the at least one run but she was the one that came out on the have of the conditions better than a rival successfully defending her tight so slightly conservative eighty three points in the end now compared to sort she got ninety five point two five points so that kind of reflected how cautious the athletes the big but also the race she said this is part and parcel of the sports i feel like honestly every event ive been at this year theres been a lot of drama about that there and snow and flat late in the face of everything which definitely is an Important Role but i think when we all signed up for snowboarding that was annoying bluebird perfect sunny day like we get in california. Like how to shoot. A jelly having more success in the biathlon yes more success for germany more success most of my and now when she got gold in the sprint event on saturday and because of that she had a twenty four seconds a head start going into this race she was under pressure. And the studs it could mean about mistys exactly the shooting that saw her through and she won in the end by nearly thirty seconds we can see even having time to grab the flag there if she was going down the home straight so that makes have the first woman ever actually to complete another biathlon sprint and pursuit should be going for hat trick of golds in the last start race on a saturday now a biathlon is one of the probably one of the most physically demanding events in the Winter Olympics because not only does it combine the insurance side of things with the crosscountry skiing youve got to be precise with the shooting and its very difficult to monster but it is a sport that featured its origins from the Norwegian Army in the seventeen hundreds when they were training ok not quite a successful low in mens pursuit thats right had won the sprints events on sunday like but unlike he was unable to then convert that into a win today he only had a four point four second head study eventually finished eighth but that man there you can see. The front seat was disappointed on sunday he was one of the favorites for the sprints event only if finished eighth in the end but that is one of the sports most successful athletes and he turned it around today where he was disappointed with the shooting on sunday he was near perfect today nineteen of twenty targets hit for him as pic gold medal some good news there for Germany Benedict all go on the podium in place of bronze medal for germany the great thank you. Ill have more sport later in the program as we look at sundays but as we get matches this is news live from balad still to come for the boys on the front line to look at the pressure on turkish citizens to back the countrys offensive against kurdish militias in syria.

This is. One filled top story of this hour the leaders of south africas ruling African NationalCongress Meeting to decide the future of president jacob zuma theyre expected to ask him to resign or face a motion of no confidence in parliament over allegations of corruption. Out of the country the former president of georgia previously moved to ukraine before becoming a ukrainian citizen and then becoming an Anti Corruption campaigner after falling out with the countrys president Petro Poroshenko and identified men in Army Uniforms grabbed him from a restaurant and here. He was then taken to an airport and put on a plane to the country from which he illegally entered ukraine last year hes now landed in poland where hes been granted entry because his wife is an e. U. Citizen. Correspondent. James bond what more can you tell us. Good evening phil well this certainly has been a pretty extraordinary day here in kiev. The formal reason for all of this is his status here in ukraine hes a stateless person now he doesnt have ukrainian citizenship since it was stripped of his citizenship by present poroshenko and he they say hes here illegally hes lost his appeals against that and so thats the formal reason for him being sent out. And what is likely to happen to him in poland. Well its pretty difficult to imagine fifteen believe the young man relatively by the sounds of ukrainian politics a lot of energy giving up and just going into a sort of calm dotage now in europe hes free to carry on his go activities we expect him to try and try to get back to ukraine some way or other the important term here is this wasnt the only option on the table hes wanted back in his home country of georgia he was sentenced to three years in absentia early on this year and that was the sort of implicit threat in all of this from the Ukrainian Government side that he would be sent to georgia and we could face prison there. Means that theyve now avoided a big clash with sexualise western backers over this and you alluded to it in your annual your last time so hes quite a character Mikhail Saakashvili and this is not the first time hes clashed with the authorities well phil hes nothing if not a risk taker just before christmas on the roof behind me here in central kiev he was running across them running away from men in camouflage again this time trying to that time try to arrest him also and as we understand deport him that time he sports are able to make the process take so long that he was able to even able to free him then this time around they seem to have learned from their lessons and taken him more decisively but this really is a very personal story him and portioned go go back a long way they were even Friends University back in one thousand eighties as a friendship thats turned sour i cant imagine that this is the last chapter that story and connelly care found here. Now as turkey continues its offensive against kurdish fighters in syria its also looking to consolidate support at home where most turks back their countrys military incursion into syrias afrin region so he regards kurdish militias there as terrorists and the threats to its southern border present threat of type one has warned of a heavy price to be paid by anyone who speaks out against Operation Olive Branch which began last month the ws turkey corresponded to junior high on a small. They are knitting for the soldiers in the battle several times a week these women meet in eastham district. They make new hats to be sent to the turkish Syrian Border a gift to the troops at war. Off in the sky we want our soldiers in out for into know that we support them as their mothers and sisters they have everything they need but this is our way to show that we are with them carte. I hope our soldiers will return home safely they shouldnt have to freeze thats why were sending them these hats and our prayers. In that he says alliance and. The mayor also just set up the project hes a member of the ruling a k party and believes every turkish citizen should stand unconditionally behind the military operation in syria. We dont have any problem with those who say no to war but if our country is being drawn into war we need to fight. Those who say no to war have a hidden agenda they are actually supporting the terrorists and this is something we cannot tolerate. For such with imus. Public support is strong with polls suggesting more than eighty percent of turks backed the operation criticism is not well come president and one is blunt he calls those who oppose the war terrorists love us. Samit mean good she knows what that feels like he represents turkeys biggest medical association shortly after the military offensive began the doctors had published a declaration saying no to war peace now a few days later and even of his colleagues were detained on charges of spreading terrorist propaganda they have since been released but the authorities reaction shocked me which let me watch only one with those doctors detained. First and foremost because of the Political Climate in this country to most of us. We are going through a time with no tolerance for dissenting voices or contrary opinions. We stand by our position that saying no to war is not a crime it shouldnt be a crime in this country. Which almost. Within the first two weeks of the operation nearly six hundred people have been detained here in turkey on charges of spreading terrorist propaganda even if many are released just after a few days the message is clear whoever opposes the turkish offensive in north in syria should think twice before seeing any criticism in public medium it virally also believes the operation should not be criticised quite the opposite to support the offensive he decorated his next stall in istanbuls conservative neighborhood with turkish flags and hes donating some of his taking stu the soldiers. Everybody can support the party they want i wouldnt judge. But when National Security is at stake you have to back your country. You dont question why are we going into africa. We can see on television why its necessary to be there. The operation will go on until after it is free from terror just as the government says. Theres a month because that goes on that our league has one thousand five hundred euros to send to the frontline and he wants to continue with his project for the moment there is no end in sight to military offensives in. The past few months for me to movement has gained momentum with numerous men being accused of Sexual Misconduct over the last week many mostly women have joined in speaking out about being assaulted during the annual hog pilgrimage when millions in the holy city of mecca dont use social media editor columnist one can tell us who. Harsh doesnt happen until august so why is it in the headlines right is not for a while but last week a pakistani woman she took to facebook and she shared a story of a past Sexual Assault that took place during her name is khan and she wrote that she was groped by several men while she was performing a ceremony its known as to walk for the large crowd walks in a circle around the center of islams most sacred site and this is the Facebook Post that she wrote we want to show you that post now and this is what is really starting a Big Conversation online she wrote that it was my third to watch her third circle there and i felt a hand on my waist during my sixth tawaf i suddenly felt something aggressively poking my butt i felt so violated i felt unable to speak out its sad to say that youre not even safe at holy places my entire experience at the holy city is overshadowed by this horrible incident this story here its been now been shared several thousands of times on facebook we reached out to so because she says that the backlash has been so strong that shes now suffering panic attacks shes even deactivated her facebook account as theres been a backlash well. Im guessing that if this is happen to us yes thats correct this really does seem like an open secret that women know that this goes on it just doesnt get talked about its rarely discussed publicly but it does seem to happen far too frequently in fact about half the pilgrims that that go to mecca are women and you see those images of these large crowds there and that does unfortunately make it easy for some men to commit Sexual Assault many women say that they are ashamed to speak out because this is supposed to be a safe place its the most holy site but now were seeing this Facebook Post posted by. Helping to kind of break this taboo and encouraging women to speak out in fact theres now a hashtag you know the need to hashtag this is called mosque me too and were seeing lots of similar stories popping up now on twitter and this is just one of them a woman writes i was sexually harassed at age twenty one when i was doing to watch the fact that it happened there in that place where its supposed to be the holiest and safest sanctuary broke me so bad that i have never recovered from it that hash tag giving muslim the chant muslim women the chance to speak out and perhaps be heard and so how is that being received its really getting a lot of support from women internationally so many different people from Different Countries go to mecca we actually spoke with the woman that helped to launch the mosque me to hash tag her name is Mona Eltahawy shes a gyptian american and she says she was assaulted during the one nine hundred eighty s. And she hopes that this will help these stories be heard we have to make sure that that movement is global and inclusive which is where he and her stand most need to because i wanted it to be the intersection of me two which is about Sexual Harassment and sexual abuse and. What were seeing still a lot of women supporting but not so many men a mixed reaction from men mona those says that men are deathly necessary to effect a change heres what she says about that. So my message to recommend is listen dont judge and ask us how you can help and one of the best ways to help is to be on the lookout who would stop these conversations with other men talk to other muslim men about Sexual Harassment and abuse in our sacred spaces because they want to listen to us and women ready to listen to us admit it well listen to other men so this hash tag mosque need to now been used more than twenty five thousand times in the past week probably more stories yet to come on the arise and in august of this year oh it gets worse and worse coalescent a thank you.

D. P. But increasingly its the less mountains that adorn people to the country as they strap on my skis and test the pound. Think of morocco and what likely comes to mind is heat not snow but the Atlas Mountains of hosted Winter Sports for decades entire country. Last year saw record tourism numbers in morocco more than eleven million tourists spend about six point three billion euros that significantly more than in the Previous Year tourism plays an increasingly Important Role in the countrys economy already accounting for a tenth of g.

Clothing because its so cold here that means winter cabin gloves. Warm clothing there is a particular need for it this year both among moroccans and tourists its snowed so much in the mountains that farmers were forced to buy food for their livestock to keep the animals alive. Its even snowed outside the mountains twice this year up to ten centimeters most americans go the entire year without having to put a sweater on but even the sahara saw snow flakes in february for the first time in fifty years.

Film festival has begun its a festival devoted entirely to language cinema. Which has been getting more and more attention to the kind of help that sort of culture desk said well this is shaping up to rather exciting week for a film here in jerusalem and that were going to have all square eyes that the end of it because were spiraling into movie not unless of course the berlin stereo Film Festival kicking off on thursday but people are already deep into a lot of german language stories in San Francisco so tell a small that about berlin and beyond ok so its one of the leading european cinema festivals in the world actually and it is the biggest german language Film Festival. Outside of europe and it started back in one thousand nine hundred six and ever since then the main venue over there in beautiful San Francisco is the famous castro theater which is almost a century old you can see it there as festival attracts over ten thousand film goers an awful lot of german film stars and directors thats organized by the San Francisco good to institute with daughter bella as a partner and it builds on many of their other cultural activities throughout the year so lets have a quick look at what theyve got up for this year. The german language films being screened in San Francisco this week arent blockbusters but this festival always manages to draw in enthusiastic audience. The break over the level of always good films to feel just a lot of fun if i show that you know no other theaters other factory a can film really loved it in the fridge and look always looking forward to see a good german film. Among the films featured at the festival is the comedy and welcome to germany. It explores what happens when an ordinary middle class German Family decides to open their home to a refugee from nigeria. Its humor and timeliness help make it a Huge Box Office hit in germany. The films director. Is making his first visit to San Francisco to open the festival but he says that breaking into the american film market is not his goal. I think im someone who likes to write his own stories and i think that would be much more difficult to do in hollywood if i have to write in english which i can do pretty well but certainly not as authentically as i can in germany and thats because of george got. Another guest of honor at the festival is german actor lars i dig whos just been awarded the austrian film prize for his role in the gloom of yesterday but that film is also screening in San Francisco. To the session and theyre getting. What you can hold of course for sure should you make it of if you think its is a risky place got it up there if its a put it you. Know its i dont know says german language film professionals can only be successful abroad if theyre truly Exceptional People or so from christoph vulgus was incredible in glorious bastards and that has a lot to do with someone saying theyre not just taking part but they want to do it back says than anyone else i suspect that was an attitude that rhino verna fassbinder had he simply reinvented film for himself more often. There may never be anyone else like fassbender again but it is german language directors are certainly finding their work welcome to the United States. The elaborate on that is termed german language obviously because we send austrian films are represented quite often at this festival but we are exercising our bias here somewhat but one of the one of the headlining movies this time around is also a kind of a bio pic on the austrian artist so that should should also be down there well its interesting that this interest in german language films is growing or i guess its its well first of all i mean a lot of german shells have done incredibly well outside of the country in recent years if you think back to tony at one from two thousand and sixteen that was nominated for an oscar or even further back in two thousand and six that the lives of others which actually went on to win the oscar for. Best Foreign Language film but the interest i think now i mean its kind of been a build up and its really been piqued again by. Fayed which has been very successful a very disturbing look at the threat of nazi terrorism. Starring diane kruger in the role of her life and not just won the golden globe for best Foreign Language film and the critics Choice Awards in january and was also shortlisted for the oscars so thats a very contemporary look at germany that that certainly made some waves is there a generational difference. And older germans looking for different figures i think thats a good point because they would it would be mirroring especially in the states it would be mirroring exactly whats happening here i mean as germany gets more distance from its history and starts tackling topics like the third reich for instance in very different ways. That was a topic for instance that directly after the war was completely taboo so even German Television is actually starting to take a new tack on some of these stories and even going as far as using humor to to tell them which is something that is always quite controversial here in germany as you know but its very interesting for foreign audiences and for instance there was a mini format web series that was made by German Public Television that was even something of a shock for german viewers to be honest its a comedy called the brown family. And it looks in very many short episodes looks at what happens when a neo nazi discovers that he has a black daughter so makes the nazis look ridiculous in the process not that series didnt get much positive press here in germany but it did win the International Emmy last november so you can see that these kinds of productions are getting a lot more attention theyre not lecturing theyre trying to trying a different angle to sort of bring an issue that obviously you can relate to it today into focus. So. Theres also been stuff on telly as well absolutely i mean you know serious friends like eighty three was incredibly popular. In the United States im going to go to netflix has already snapped up roland babylon which is the most the most of the long talked about up there language exactly series ever produced so well see how that performs but i think for younger audiences definitely as you mentioned you know theyve got no memory theyre also not burdened by these historical chapters and their interest for chapters like the farmer republic or like nazi germany or even east germany are their interest is very high. More than websites absolutely all right so you dont come flush culture if you can talk a little bit that would never do that set you up today i will have been at the top of the hour i have a good.
