In her opening heat in the 500m event. A warning about a new scam involving the apple itunes service. Tax Authorities Say elderly and Vulnerable People are becoming victims. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. The haitian government is to summon oxfam to explain why it didnt report allegations that oxfam staff had exploited local people for sex following the earthquake there in 2011. The haitian ambassador said his government was appalled that it wasnt informed. Four members of staff were dismissed and three resigned. The uk government has said it is reviewing its relationship with the charity. Angus crawford reports. It was an earthquake that devastated haiti, killing more than 200,000 people, affecting millions more. Aid agencies from around the world stepped into the chaos. Oxfam, with more than 70 years experience, had hundreds of staff in the field. But an investigation by the times found that in 2011, four Staff Members were sacked and three others resigned over allegations of misconduct, including paying local women for sex. Oxfam says the behaviour of some staff was totally unacceptable. The n60 insists it did inform the Charity Commission, even issuing a press release at the time, and denies a cover up. Oxfam was actually proactive in going to the british public, the department for International Development and the Charity Commission to explain that there had been serious misconduct and wed taken action. The government, which gives oxfam more than £30 million a year, says. The way this appalling abuse of Vulnerable People was dealt with raises serious questions that oxfam must answer. Today, fresh claims some of the disgraced staff gotjobs at other aid agencies because oxfam failed to warn them about the misconduct. This is a shudderingly awful tale, terrible on every single level. And, of course, it eclipses the fact that oxfam is one of the most brilliant humanitarian organisations in the world. Oxfam has worked in haiti for a0 years, helping more than half a million desperately poor people. Now, the behaviour of a few stains its past reputation and threatens its work in the future. Angus crawford, bbc news. A little earlier i spoke to the haitian ambassador to the uk. He accused oxfam of a cover up and said his government was outraged that the oxfam staff had been allowed to leave the country without the matter being reported to the police. First of all, let me express the shock of my government, after seeing those allegations throughout the investigation by the times. It is really shocking, it is shameful. It is unacceptable. The worst part of it, even though those crimes were reported to the haitian authorities, no action was taken when they say that, that is an insult. They say the reason they did not take it to the authorities was because they thought nothing would happen. That is insulting. This gentleman, he left the country, and he has been able to work for other ngos, you dont know which children are being victimised from this gentleman. Therefore, it is appalling. It is something we should condemn. The haitian government is now about to summon oxfam to share those reports, and to explore those legal steps about to be taken against those people. Clearly, mistakes have been made and oxfam has said they did not handle it with hindsight as they should have done, what is the important next step that needs to happen . The fact that you have accepted the cover up, the crimes, that is bad. This is shameful behaviour. Im really pleased that the fact that her majestys government has stepped in, requesting oxfam to share those files, and see what measures can be taken. For our part, the government of haiti, we will call and summon the oxfam representative to share the files. It is not acceptable to do such a thing. Even in war zones, those actions are reprehensible. The haitian ambassador to the uk. An israeli jet has crashed after coming under a heavy barrage of syrian anti aircraft fire. The two air crew ejected one was seriously injured. The plane was taking part in an air raid on a drone base inside syria after israel claimed that an iranian drone had entered its airspace. The Syrian Government has accused israel of terrorism and has threatened to retaliate. Our middle east correspondent injerusalem, tom bateman, has been giving us an update. Israel has described this as what it calls a blatant and severe violation of its sovereignty. As you said, it accuses iran of being behind the drone that was flown into israeli territory early this morning before the israelis shot it down. They then sent several fighter jets into syrian territory to attack in Eastern Syria the facility from which they said it was controlled. It was one of those aircraft which came under anti aircraft fire, as you say, the Israeli Military says it crashed and one of the pilots, after ejecting, was left seriously injured. As for the iranians, they are accusing israel of lying over this. The syrians have said that they believe that this is israeli aggression. But this does mark perhaps one of the most serious escalations yet between these regional enemies. Tom bateman reporting. A double decker bus has overturned in hong kong, killing at least 18 people, and injuring dozens more, on the tai po road in the New Territories. Sophia tran thomson has this report. The 12 metre long double decker crashed in the New Territories of hong kong. It was taking spectators and workers home from the racecourse after the last race of the day. The bus appears to have split and flipped onto its side and hit a lamp post which cut through it. It is still unknown what caused the accident but passengers courted by local media have said the bus was running late and driving at a high speed. Some passengers managed to climb out of the wreckage on their own, others had to be cut free by the fire brigade. Police have so far been unable to confirm how many people were on the bus. The bus company has made a statement, offering their condolences and has said that the driver had a good track record. At least 27 people have died when a bus carrying domestic tourists crashed on the indonesian island of java. The crash happened when the bus, which had at least a0 people on board, hit a motorbike as it was speeding down a hill in the subang region of west java province, causing it to roll over multiple times. In ireland, sinn fein has a new leaderfor the first time in sa years. Gerry adams has stepped down, and been replaced by Mary Lou Mcdonald at a specially convened Party Conference in dublin. Our ireland correspondent, chris page, has been at the conference in dublin. More than 2,000 sinn fein leaders have enthusiastically endorsed the new leader, Mary Lou Mcdonald, in her home city, dublin. Shes the only person who put her name forward to succeed gerry adams as leader of sinn fein, no surprise that she has been installed as leader of the party, the second biggest in Northern Ireland and the third biggest in the irish republic. Now, gerry adams had the longest career of any Major Party Leader in britain, or ireland, an extremely divisive politician. He was a peacemaker to his supporters but he was at least an apologist for ira violence to his enemies, although he was never a member of that organisation himself. Mary lou mcdonald in her speech said that it was time for fresh ideas and bold thinking. The ambition of the party is to be in government on both sides of the border, but whether they get back into government in Northern Ireland will depend upon negotiations between sinn fein and the Democratic Unionist Party at stormont, word is, in particular, there has been some progress in british and irish governments in the last 2a hours, they have been warning that time is running out to get devolution back. Whether or not an agreement is possible should become clear over the next week or so, as talks seem to be heading for a crosspoint. Now, other issues that Mary Lou Mcdonald touched on in her speech, international issues, the middle east, catalonia, Climate Change and also more specific to politics here on the island of ireland, the legacy of the conflict in Northern Ireland, for example, paying tribute to her predecessors who have led sinn fein, and very much put the emphasis on the partys overall aim, achieving a united ireland. She says that she is willing to persuade unionists on that, many of them are extremely suspicious of sinn fein, given the legacy of the past, and in terms of building relationships with them, that will be an uphill struggle for Mary Lou Mcdonald. However, it is hoped that this leader, with a very different background to gerry adams, will be able to take sinn fein to new places electorally, and will enable sinn fein to build new relationships in a way that was more difficult for past generation of leaders with direct experience of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Chris page reporting. The north Korean Leader kimjong un has invited the south korean president to visit him at the earliest date possible. The historic invitation was given by kim jong uns sister, whos visiting the south for the Winter Olympics. If it happens, it would be the first summit in more than a decade between Korean Leaders. Laura bicker reports. This is no ordinary messenger. Kim yo jong is the sister of the north Korean Leader kimjong un. Shes the first of her family to set foot on south korean soil, and this is the moment president moon had hoped and campaigned for. He is careful to greet each delegate, aware of the significance of this meeting. As the two sides take their seats, the cameras note a blue folder on the desk. We now know it contained an historic invitation. Translation special envoy kim yo jong presented a personal letter from kim jong un to president moon, which contained chairman kims desire to improve inter korean relations. Kim jong uns younger sister is not used to the spotlight. Shes usually behind the scenes as master of her brothers image. But, as a pr queen, she is the perfect charmer for the norths charm offensive. Its quite typical of north korea to actually do this kind of thing. Theyre stealing a little bit of the limelight from south korea, as the whole worlds press descend on it, and theyre also trying to control the message between the two. Its very, very hard for south korea, even though theyve been talking about pressure, sanctions, to basically refuse these kind of advances from north korea. The us Vice President has looked increasingly isolated on this visit, refusing to even greet the North Koreans while pushing for tougher sanctions on the regime. These winter games have provided south korea with a diplomatic breakthrough they never thought possible. But it also presents a serious challengers. Does president moon accept this invitation and, if so, under what kind of preconditions . And hes also discovering that in defending his neighbour to the north, he risks alienating a key us ally.

President trump has blocked the release of a classified Democratic Party memo over the fbis russia probe. The memo rebutted claims there was anti trump bias in the fbis investigation of russian meddling in the us president ial election. The white house said the memo couldnt be released because it contained classified material. David willis explains more. It was announced last night President Trump would not be issuing that memo. There were parts of it that memo. There were parts of it that could Compromise National Security basically and it was said that if they were able to take out that if they were able to take out that particular language and reissue it, then basically the white house would reconsider all of that. The democrats, as you can imagine, are hopping mad about this, they have accused the white house of double standards, they have said that it is clear that from all others that the president has something to hide. You mentioned his feet this morning, basically he said, in essence, that the democrats in advance that this memo of beers would have to be heavily redacted and that by slapping it down the then open the white house to these charges of lack of transparency, if you like. The democrats have said that the memo, which is a lot longer, about ten pages, longer than that of the republicans, provides vital context into this whole surveillance issue and corrects what it calls the m ista kes and corrects what it calls the mistakes and omissions and distortions of the republican memo, which democrats believe was highly selective in its use of facts. Now, both the fbi and Thejustice Department recommended that neither this memo is be released to the public. In the case of the republican memo, of course, the white house chose to ignore that advice. David, for those of us outside the washington, dc bubble, just give us a sense of why these memos are so just give us a sense of why these memos are so significant . Because as i understand that they will not necessarily prove or disprove whether there was anti donald trump bias within the fbi. President trump has already claimed that the republican memo vindicates him is or is that investigation into collusion between the two groups affecting the outcome of the president ial elections. You are correct, what this really reveals is a very partisan battle on the part of members of the house of representatives intelligence committee, that was set up to oversee matters of this kind, which at one stage was really above politics, but now it has devolved in the light of the Russian Investigation into the deeply divided committee. Dissolved. That is the fall and that we are seeing at the moment. Her majestys revenue and customs has written to retailers warning them about a scam involving the apple itunes service. The tax Authorities Say that elderly and Vulnerable People are falling victims to a scam which encourages them to pay fraudsters using itunes vouchers bought in high street shops. Our business correspondentjoe lynam says its a sophisticated scam. They acquire the contact details, call them up and tell them that they have a huge outstanding tax bill and that if they do not pay it immediately, they will contact the police, the fraudsters will tell them they will contact the police and they will seize their personal assets. We tell lee can straightaway if they go down to the retailer, by this itunes vouchers with their own money and then, the number. The 16 digit number that you scratch off at the back of these cards, over the phone to others. You would probably suggest, how would that work . That number can produce a lot of stuff on the itunes system, you could buy a book or an iphone. It has a cash value. The criminal could swap that number to someone else who would give them cash. This is why hmrc are no acting, they are urging a lot of retailers to do something about this, to watch out for elderly people coming in, demanding a lot of money worth of itunes vouchers and this is what Angela Mcdonald was telling us earlier today about that. Very sadly, since 2016, about 1,500 people have fallen victim to this fraud. Its mainly people who are over 65 and very sadly the loss for each customer has been about £1,150. And last week, we heard of an elderly gentleman aged 81 who had fallen foul of this scam a couple of times and had lost £20,000 as part of that. So hmrc are telling everyone that they would never contact them telling them that they oh so much money as this amount is being discussed. The same applies to apple and itunes, they have said that you can only buy apple staff with an itunes voucher, you cannot pay a tax bill with that. When it comes to working out who is behind this scam, do we have any leads . These are usually boiler rooms, usually men that are picking on numbers that they have bought illegally by someone who might have signed up for something a decade ago and left the man by numberand something a decade ago and left the man by number and the number is passed from pillar to post and eventually outlined in the of fraudsters who then chance the arm of all sorts of thousands of unsuspecting victims. Joe lynam. Traffic light labelling on food and drink should become mandatory after brexit according to the local Government Association. They say the scheme, which is currently voluntary, helps customers understand whats in the products they buy. Charlotte gallagher reports. Were used to seeing these traffic light labels on much of the food and drink we buy. They allow us to see at a glance how much fat, saturate, sugar and salt a product contains. But the labels, which were introduced by the department of health in 2013, are voluntary. The local Government Association says only around two thirds of products sold in the uk have them. The European Union currently regulates food labelling and the lga has called on ministers to make the traffic lights scheme a legal requirement once eu legislation is transferred into british law. It says the scheme is popular with consumers and helps them make informed choices about what they are eating and dr
