the secretary of state for international development in the united kingdom here agreed that the united kingdom will host a meeting in the first half of this year to create a new independent whistle-blowing mechanism. unfortunately she's no longer the secretary of state, there is a new secretary of state. so i'm wondering, between the secretary of state for international development here in the uk, and ambassador haley's office in the united states, can we please create this new whistle-blowing mechanism so good aid workers can report on horrendous acts of both adult and child sexual abuse that is rife within the u.n. >> andrew, look, to the credit of the many people that you've worked with, it is important to point out, there are many good men and women doing good work around the world. >> that's right. >> but this report certainly makes one take pause. when you went out to write on this, you compared this to what you saw happening in the catholic church. >> that's indeed. when i was a young lawyer i acted on some of the catholic church insurance in the 1990s. the catholic church litig

for international development, has written to the un, asking for a new protocol, that whenever there is an accusation against a uk national tour uk staff are, the uk prosecuting authorities and the un should do is a joint investigation, it is that oxfam has done an internal investigation first, and i think whenever there is an accusation, especially for child sex crime, the british authorities need to be brought in right away, because people are breaking uk laws. if a charity not undertake to immediately inform the british prosecuting authorities, you cut the funding to that charity, but you are right, don't risk that absolutely important humanitarian development aid that needs to go around the world, don't tar every aid worker with the brush, but here's the thing, it isn't the individual rapist that is really evil, the real evil is the administrators, the ceos and trustees who, for two to three decades, have been turning a blind eye to this issue on this issue goes back to the 1990s, kofi annan mentioned it in his book, ban ki—moon mentioned it, it's been going on for three decade

the former secretary of state for international development is also calling for tougher action. this is now an opportunity for everyone to make sure that there are very clear, notjust guidelines, but actions, action, will be taken and money will be withdrawn as well quite frankly if there is inappropriate behaviour. oxfam says that after haiti, it set up a dedicated safeguarding team to deal with such issues. the charity finds itself at the centre of this particular scandal that the british government said is one example of a wider problem. andy moore, bbc news. our political correspondent emma vardy is here. the are all talking pretty to to the aid agencies, really giving them quite a strong warning on this. they are making it really clear that charities, aid agencies, must have safeguarding procedures in place. every charity is being written to, saying if there are any safeguarding issues, they need to be flagged up to the right authorities. if they aren't, they can't expect any more aid money. penny mordaunt has been speaking in very strong terms about the action she is takin

penny mordaunt, the secretary of state for international development, according toa international development, according to a spokesperson in the department, has asked for a meeting, requested a meeting, with 0xfam's presumably chief executive and other senior members of the charity — what assurances do you think she should be looking for? well, i think she really needs to see exactly what did happen and was itjust a press release, how was that issued and what was the timeline and i think we need to get specifics about the timeline. i would need to get specifics about the timeline. iwould be need to get specifics about the timeline. i would be really interested to see what they say in front of the select committee as well if possible, because we need to make sure that their policies are robust and how quickly this was discovered and is there any sort of systemic abuses like this? and that is presumably the bigger problem, only today we've got boris johnson visiting those refugee camps in bangladesh, the rohingya, hundreds of thousands of people who fled from the myanmar — the potential is

we're joined by the secretary of state for international development. what do you say to those who are expecting disappointment in britain? our contribution is very much going up. our annual spend for the partnership is going up by a further 50% and that should be seen in context of what dfi deed does wider than the partnership. we as well as the numbers we have to focus on what we're doing with the number. as you rightly point out, a lot of people in classrooms on learning because of poor quality teaching and the national reforms that are needed in these nations aren't there. as well as our pledge today of money, we are also launching a new education policy from dfid. that will be focused on quality teaching, national reforms and crucially on children with disabilities. what you say to those whose eight britain should do more, even the pop star rhianna who is here today. britain is leading in this. since the partnership's inception, we've been there and we've been the leader donor. britain cannot bond this on our own and so that's why we've made our ow

the department for international development is reviewing its work with oxfam, following claims the charity covered up the use of prostitutes by some of its aids workers in earthquake—hit haiti. oxfam insists it publicised the action it took against the workers, some of whom were fired. earlier my colleague rachel schofield spoke to the haitian ambassador to the uk. he 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, and it is unacceptable. and the worst pa rt it is unacceptable. and the worst part of it is the fact that when they said even though the crimes would have been reported to the high haitian authorities, no action would have been taken, it is really an insult. they said the reason they didn't take it to the haitian authorities is because they didn't believe anything that happens. that is really an insult. these gentlemen l
