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.

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.

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 diffic
