And prince harry and Meghan Markle are visiting edinburgh this lunchtime on their first trip to scotland. Coming up in the Sport England lose again in the t20 tri nations series, and their chances of reaching the final and now out of their hands. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Charity Commission has taken the most serious action it can against oxfam, and begun a statutory inquiry into its procedures. Staff used prostitutes as they carried out Disaster Relief in the aftermath of the earthquake in haiti in 2010. 0xfams deputy chief executive penny lawrence resigned yesterday in relation to the charitys response to the allegations. 0ur correspondent matt cole is at 0xfams headquarters in oxford. Good afternoon. There is a lot for the leaders here at 0xfam to think about as they face the possible loss of government funding. The Eu Commission could take away its £30 million a year Funding Commission could take away its £30 million a yearfunding if it commission could take away its £30 million a year funding if it isnt happy that 0xfams house is back in order, and now there is this most Serious Investigation by the charities commission. This crisis is already claimed one senior figure, this crisis is already claimed one seniorfigure, 0xfams this crisis is already claimed one senior figure, 0xfams now former chief executive penny lawrence, but her resignation has far from chief executive penny lawrence, but her resignation has farfrom drawn chief executive penny lawrence, but her resignation has far from drawn a line under the matter, with the organisation now facing the most serious form of investigation the Charity Commission can undertake, a statutory inquiry which could lead to the suspension of trustees or the freezing of bank accounts. And there is more freezing of bank accounts. And there is more pressure freezing of bank accounts. And there is more pressure from the government. I take these things very seriously. I know people will be worried about the charity, worried about the money. As oxfam fights for its future, there are some claiming it had ample opportunity to avoid this scandal. Helen evans spent three years at 0xfams head of safeguarding, but says as she unearthed the scale of the problem, the charity failed to respond with sufficient resources. We had one in ten saying they had experienced unwanted sexual touching, sexual assault. This was staff on staff. We went to beneficiaries who received aid from us. Beneficiaries who received aid from us. I was extremely concerned by those survey results. 0xfa m those survey results. 0xfam says it has new safeguarding measures in place, better checks now, but the biggest fight it might face is to maintain public confidence, that most precious commodity that if lost severely hampers its ability to raise money and help those most in need. The labourmp and help those most in need. The labour mp peter kyle was formerly an aid worker. He worries people with an agenda to oppose International Aid spending might exploit the situation. I am deeply concerned. Lets not beat around the bush. This scandal could bring 0xfam to its knees. The organisation could implode, and the people who will suffer the most through this will be the people who depend, the thousands of people, who are extraordinarily vulnerable, who depend on the work that organisations like 0xfam does. As 0xfam waits to learn more details of the statutory inquiry into its failings, it at all other aid agencies are being told by the government they must step up and provide statements of assurance about the policies and procedures. What is being dubbed a significant also being planned. All Major Charities will discuss how the sector as a whole will face these problems. Leaders here at 0xfam have until the end of the week now to offer assurances to the government that they can deal with future allegations, but there are already more allegations coming through with concerns being raised, albeit uncorroborated, that there has been abuse here in uk shops of young volunteers, too. Much more for bosses here to think about. Back to. Matt coles, thank you. The president of haiti has condemned the actions of some staff from 0xfam as outrageous and dishonest, accusing them of using the countrys earthquake in 2010 to sexually exploit people in need. Will grant is in the capital port au prince, and has been talking to former 0xfam employees in the country. A girl, a street corner, a parked car. In the poorest country in the americas, buying sex is easy. Its a common scene on any given night in haiti. Girls, somejust teenagers, risking their lives for a few dollar bills. 0rdinarily, internationalaid agencies help tackle the problem. 0xfam, however, is now embroiled in it. Weve spent the past few days speaking to former 0xfam employees in haiti. Most are too scared to show their faces on camera, fearful of retribution for speaking out. They all confirmed the stories about 0xfam in 2011, in particular its disgraced country director roland van hauwermeiren. Translation some expats come to haiti to work. Others come to party and look for girls every night. The drivers picking up the girls had no choice. It was theirjob and they were told to do it. Another former Security Guard claimed young and underage girls were among the victims. I can tell you for sure there were sex parties at the house, he told me. Young people would often come to the office looking for the director, and im sure these people werent there for work. For its part, the haitian government confirmed to the bbc that it is prepared to open a full investigation into the allegations. It may be what happened at oxfam was just the tip of the iceberg, they said. We will start with the oxfam allegations to open a broad investigation into ngos operating in haiti. Other haitians working in the Charity Sector agree that the problems go beyond oxfam alone. After the earthquake, organisations, international organisations, received money, a lot of money. What is the result . I will not say zero, zero, but you cannot see the result. Oxfam is facing perhaps the biggest challenge of its history, it International Reputation in serious jeopardy. If its going to take time to rebuild its name in the United Kingdom, in haiti it may never fully recover. Will grant, bbc news, port au prince. In the past hour, the governing African National congress in south africa has decided to recalljacob zuma from the position of president. The partys secretary general said mr zuma had agreed in principle to resign, but that talks were continuing. Jacob zuma has come under mounting pressure to go following several corruption scandals. Pumza fihlani is injohannesburg. To say that this situation is protracted is to put it mildly. What is going on . That is certainly right, and we wish we had a straight answer. Coming out of that 15 minute press c0 nfe re nce , answer. Coming out of that 15 minute press conference, it seems that the African National congress has said to the president that they want him to the president that they want him to go, except they have not put a deadline to it. So heres effectively been fired but told he can still think about it and come back when you have made a decision about whether you want to go or not. But it is a very serious matter, and one not opposition on the sideline of the anc process have been watching carefully, and they have said that if the anc is not willing to pushjacob said that if the anc is not willing to push jacob zuma said that if the anc is not willing to pushjacob zuma out, they would do it themselves. Pumza fihlani, thank you very much indeed. More than 200 people have become the first to fly on a british package holiday to tunisia since the terrorist attack in the country in 2015.

With its idyllic white beaches and pristine mediterranean coastline, tunisia was a hugely popular draw for british tourists, attracting around 430,000 a year. But then came the attack in june around 430,000 a year. But then came the attack injune 2015, when a gunman killed 30 britons and another eight holiday makers on a beach.

This morning 20 passengers were the first to return on an Early Morning from birmingham. We were staying in the hotel down the road when the last attack happened, but we love the country, so as soon attack happened, but we love the country, so as soon as we attack happened, but we love the country, so as soon as we knew attack happened, but we love the country, so as soon as we knew there was another flight going, we decided to come back. If we had been bringing our children, we probably wouldnt be going, but as it isjust the two of us, we didnt feel it was a concern. The two of us, we didnt feel it was a concern. Its probably more dangerous staying in london than it is going out there. This first package holiday will take people to a country that has worked extremely ha rd over a country that has worked extremely hard over the last couple of years with International Help to make itself as secure as possible for tourists. It is a country that will be very pleased to see visitors back in large numbers once again. And Industry Experts say that tunisia has been desperate to see travel restrictions lifted. The authorities we re restrictions lifted. The authorities were getting frustrated. What do we have to do to get holiday makers back . Eventually, of course, they can the government here that they would be able to make things as safe as possible for british holiday makers, and that is why you have got hundreds of people heading backin have got hundreds of people heading back in from today. We have also customers from our german, belgium and french operations who have remained, because their countries did not impose any restrictions, so it is interesting to go out and get a feel for what was happening on the beaches, were customers aware of the situation, did they feel safe and secure . Two flight have arrived today. Departures from birmingham and manchester, with other uk airports to follow. One survivor from the sousse attacks says british holiday makers are badly needed, and will be hugely welcome. They were forming human shields in front of people they didnt even know, and they are such wonderful, open, kind hearted people, and we couldnt have been better looked after. These travellers who have chosen to go back today are stoic, optimistic, and also being warned by the Foreign Office to be vigilant.

Bad weather meant it was nearly nine hours before the three surviving passengers and pilot could be flown to hospital in las vegas. Family and friends have now arrived here, along with investigators. The purpose during the on scene investigation is to gather perishable information, thats information that will no longer be available to us once the wreckage has been disturbed.

History has repeated itself at the Winter Olympics for britains speedskater Elise Christie, who crashed out of the 500 metres short track final in pyeongchang, four years after the same thing happened at the games in sochi. The 27 year old fell on the penultimate lap after making contact with a competitor as she jostled for a medal position. The gold was taken by italys arianna fonta na. Our sports correspondent, andy swiss, is in pyeongchang. Yes, jane, Elise Christie came here to pyeongchang hoping to put behind her what happened in so cheap. And those hopes were high. Shes now a triple world champion, britains biggest medal hope of these games. But almost unbelievably, it was the same old story. Racing for redemption.

Elise christie has successfully negotiated the first hurdle of the day. The early signs we re hurdle of the day. The early signs were encouraged. In the quarterfinals, she set a new olympic record. A picture of relaxation in between rounds. And she duly made it into the final. Elise christie a five way battle for olympic glory. Away they go, the final is on, they get away first time. From the very start, christie was trying to play catch up. Stuck in fourth place, could you find a way through . With time running out, she spied a gap and went for it.
