one of britain's biggest and best known charities, oxfam, is heavily criticised by the charity commission after claims of sexual misconduct by some staff in disaster zones. oxfam is given an official warning over the way it handled allegations of serious sexual misconduct after an earthquake in haiti in 2010. this is an organisation which is all about alleviating poverty and helping vulnerable people around the world, and they lost sight of that. they lost sight of the people that they exist to serve. oxfam has repeatedly apologised, calling the episode shameful. we'll be getting reaction from haiti. also tonight... vying for the top job — three more conservatives set out their stalls in the leadership contest the man who lost four of his six brothers after they were given

contaminated blood by the nhs. hiding from the traffickers in a tent — a special report on those caught up in modern day slavery in britain. lukaku! and scotland are floored by belgium in tonight's european championship qualifiers. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, the latest from the women's world cup, where the defending champions the usa have got their tournament under way. good evening. oxfam has been heavily criticised by the charity commission over the way it dealt with claims that some of its staff were involved in sexual misconduct while helping victims of the 2010 earthquake in haiti.

the report by the charities watchdog says oxfam failed to investigate fully allegations that some staff may have sexually abused children while working in disaster zones. oxfam has repeatedly apologised and today its chair of trustees described the episode as shameful. manveen rana reports. amid scenes of catastrophic damage, the earthquake in haiti in 2010 left hundreds of thousands dead and 1.5 million people without homes. but as today's report shows, 0xfam, one of the biggest charities that went into haiti to help, allowed its staff to sexually exploit desperate and vulnerable women and young girls. the report said there was a culture of poor behaviour and, rather than helping victims, 0xfam was driven by a desire to protect the charity's reputation and donor relationships. as a result, victims, whistle—blowers and those staff who try to raise concerns, were let down.

no charity is more important than the mission it exists to serve or the people it exists to serve. no charity, no matter how much good it is doing, can trade off that good against keeping people safe from harm. roland van hauwermeiren, the head of oxfam in haiti, should have been keeping people safe, but he used his position and 0xfam villa to sexually exploit local women. he was allowed to resign rather than being sacked so he could carry on working in the aid sector. but the legacy he left behind was devastating. these people were desperate. they came to us for safety, clean water and real help and they were betrayed. and it will be a source, i think, a permanent regret to everyone in 0xfam that this happened to us, and by us, and by our people. and that it wasn't handled better at the time. but i do think we are now going

to learn the lessons from that. when the scandal broke, thousands of donors withdrew their support, costing the charity £14 million. another financial blow followed, as their biggest donor, the government, also withheld funding. so now 0xfam really needs to rebuild trust. but according to the whistle—blower, helen evans, the problems are far broader than the scandal in haiti. aid agencies, the fundamental principle is do no harm. what good are the aid agencies if they deliver aid, but they leave a legacy of sexual exploitation and abuse? my realy hope is today's report is the wake—up call the sector needs. there have been a lot of fine words and promises but we need to see action and change. the cultural change will take many, many years. haiti brought the problems to light, but incidents of sexual misconduct at 0xfam were also found closer to home, amongst volunteers in high street shops.

with both ex—offenders and schoolchildren helping, 0xfam failed to assess the risks this might involve. the report detailed 16 serious incidents involving volunteers under the age of 18. it is a source of great regret they happened. we work hard to keep all the young people who work with us safe and give them a good and valuable experience. safeguarding is everyone‘s responsibility. that is why we're putting every single member of staff through basic safeguarding training and 95% of them have already done it. the charity commission has now issued an official warning to oxfam and says it will monitor the charity until it implements significant cultural changes. 0xfam may have hoped this report would reduce the scrutiny it's been under. but it's the beginning, rather than the end of the process of rebuilding trust. manveen rana, bbc news. 0ur correspondent will grant joins me from the haitian capital, port—au—prince, now. a highly critical report, what has

been the reaction there? yes, if there has been criticism in the uk, sophie, you can imagine the rebuke here in the host nation was far stronger. i spoke to the foreign minister who said the aid sector had been tarnished by what he called a shameful group of sexual predators and even paedophiles. so, little wonder he was so scathing when this is what haitians consider to be an ongoing problem, western, privileged men taking advantage of the most vulnerable people, they are ostensibly here to help in the wake of that 2010 earthquake, including underage girls, allegedly, and with impunity. nevertheless, the government here has a tough balancing act to strike. its institutions are weak, it needs to work with the ngos, the honest actors in the ngos, which there are plenty of. they have distributed something the region of £6 billion since the earthquake, and it is money that haiti can ill afford to lose. for all the talk of trust,

don't necessarily see 0xfam gb being invited back in for the time being. thank you. three more conservative candidates have launched their campaigns to replace theresa may as party leader and become the next prime minister. rory stewart, andrea leadsom and mark harper unveiled their bids today with brexit remaining the defining issue. tonight labour said it would table a motion in parliament, to try and prevent a future prime ministerfrom pushing through a no—deal brexit, as our deputy political editor john pienaar reports. planning on keeping your head down again today, sir? no time to talk, no time to comb his hair, either. the silence and that look are still working. boris johnson's front runnerfor tory leader, and the others are having to catch up. so it's show time. time for big promises, the bigger the better, especially brexiteers' promising we will leave the eu on time, with or without a deal. leaving the eu on the 315t of

october is, for me, a hard red line. parliament will not allow a brexit with no deal. the eu say they will not renegotiate a better one. so although you fear an election and would hate another referendum, will you be honest with the country and admit that they could soon become the only options left? my managed exit offers sensible measures that sensible politicians both here in parliament and in the european union will, in my opinion, agree to. good morning, home secretary. 0ther runners, keen to please brexiteer tory members say they'd take britain out with no deal if they have to. if we got to the end of october and the choice was between no deal and no brexit, i would pick no deal. thank you very much. the going's harder for michael gove now, saying sorry for taking cocaine two decades ago, saying he might delay, but not too long, before making brexit happen. i think if you were close to securing a deal, as everyone here will know,

then you take the extra hours, days or weeks in order to conclude it, otherwise all your efforts have been set at nought. more candidates, more promises. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt would love to call number ten home, so he's saying he'd get a new eu deal because he's such a fine deal—maker. and so does cabinet colleague matt hancock. in a still crowded field, brexiteer esther mcvey is one who says no need to fear no deal, and so does dominic raab, who's gathered more support from mps. tonight, candidate rory stewart rubbished what he called the false choice of a no—deal brexit. a choice on the one hand of a fairy story and on the other hand of the energy of prudence, of seriousness, of realism. he'd take a stand against a no—deal brexit if he had to. nobody can get no deal through parliament, because we, including me, will stop no deal going through parliament.

less fancied contender mark harper's message, his hands are clean. if rivals in the cabinet couldn't pull off brexit, why believe them now? if they had a magic plan, a way of getting a site if they had a magic plan, a way of getting us out of the european union, my question to them is, why didn't they think of speaking up over the last three years? in other words, this campaign is about inflated promises and unrealistic plans to sideline parliament, with big pledges to spend billions and cut taxes thrown in that the commons simply wouldn't approve. in politics, the seemingly impossible can happen, but can anyone remember a campaign that stretched belief quite like this one? another election or referendum are being increasingly discussed here as possible outcomes. especially with brussels still insisting britain must take or leave the divorce deal struck by mrs may. this is a treaty between the united kingdom and the european union. it has to be respected. it has to be respected by whomsoever will be the next british prime minister.

no rest from this, just the opposite. labour's moving to rule to no—deal tomorrow. borisjohnson's pledging to leave and no extensions. just a taste of the battle to come. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. so our next prime minister will be chosen — not by the electorate as a whole, but by those who have been members of the conservative party for three months or more, that's about 160,000 people. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, has been meeting some of them in bracknell. sandwiches, anybody? meet some of the men and women who will take that country's next prime minister. i'll we have the chance to really change things and it's notjust the party that is going to change, it is going to be the whole country. they know whoever wins this contest will have a lot on their plate. the number one item on everybody's lips is deliver brexit. these conservatives from bracknell

willjoin members of tory associations across the uk in choosing between the final two candidates. we need somebody who will be very, very strong. members of the public had to join three months ago to get a vote. here, like elsewhere in the country, it's been claimed hardline brexiteers have signed up. one of the campaign groups that backed brexit in the referendum, leave.eu, has been encouraging people including former ukip members to join the conservative party so they can vote for the next leader and influence its direction. some current and former tory mps have claimed it's a right—wing takeover. if they vote to leave, they vote to leave... the chairman of bracknell conservatives says there is no evidence of that. we had an increase in membership. are they right—wingers? no, a lot of members we see certainly coming into our association has been people who are previously members who have come back again or they are lifelong conservative voters who say i want to have a say

and get involved. bex rejoined the local organisation last year. i decided to come back in because i have a voice and want it to be heard. some critics say more broadly the party doesn't represent the population. what about the people who say the conservative party is too old and too white? we've got a very strong group of members who are quite prepared to walk the streets and they're from all ethnic backgrounds. the conservative party average age may be in its late 50s but labour for example, is in its mid—50s. this is only one group from the whole membership. but here they want a candidate who will deliver brexit without delay. i think we have to stick to that 31st of october deadline. we need to see that they're strong enough to take britain through brexit and beyond. and it's the tory grassroots that will decide in the end who gets the job. alex forsyth, bbc news, bracknell. and details on all the conservative party leadership candidates and their policies

are on the bbc website at bbc.co.uk/news. the inquiry into contaminated blood has been hearing from a man who lost four of his six brothers after they were infected with hiv or hepatitis c. john cornes and five of his siblings were all haemophiliacs. they were among thousands of people who were given infected blood in the 19705 and ‘80s. our health editor, hugh pym, reports from leeds. i cry when i think of my nephews and my nieces that haven't got dads. luckily, i'm still here. i don't know how long i'm going to be here for. john was one of six brothers with haemophilia. three died because they were infected with hiv through blood products provided by the nhs. one of his brothers infected a girlfriend, and the family was hounded by reporters, even at one of the funerals in the early 1990s, as he explained to the inquiry. we had them hiding in the bushes,

and there was lots, at least 50 reporters in the bushes. and it made us really infuriated, knowing they were taking pictures, they didn't ask permission or anything. all they wanted was to get the grieving "aids family". he said his mother never recovered after the shock of her losses. she'd be alive if it wasn't for what happened. because she was a strong woman, and the tragedy has brought... ripped her heart out. john and two other brothers contracted hepatitis c as a result of their treatment. 0ne died two years ago. john himself has struggled with depression. i've always been a positive person, and i think everybody probably goes through a spell in their lives. i really felt like just getting in the car and smashing into something.

it was a big decision to actually give evidence. what does it feel like now that you've done that? it's a massive thing. but i haven't come just for myself. it's for the whole of the family, to represent them. my dead brothers. i felt as if they were in the room with me. my sister, my brothers that are alive, we've been through hell. john hopes the inquiry will move swiftly as it can. campaigners say 160 victims have died even since it was launched in 2017. hugh pym, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's other news. m15 has been put into "special measures" after a hearing at the high court, heard that the security service had been unlawfully retaining personal data for years. redacted documents referred to in court showed a litany of failures in data management. figures from the office for national statistics show that wages —

excluding bonuses — grew by 3.4% in the three months to april compared with a year ago. the biggest increases were in the construction and finanical services industries. survivors and bereaved relatives of many of those killed in the grenfell tower fire are suing three firms over the blaze, in what's being called one of the largest product liability cases in history. lawyers representing more than 200 people have filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the united states. sudan's opposition has called off a campaign of civil disobedience which brought the country to a standstill for the past three days. they have been trying to put pressure on the military to hand over power to civilians after the long—time dictator, president 0mar al bashir, was ousted in april. more than a hundred people have been killed in a violent crackdown by security forces in the past week. talks between the two sides will resume soon. 0ur africa editor fergal keane is in khartoum. people have been drifting

back to work, pushed by economic necessity in one of the world's poorest countries. however much they may loathe the regime, barricades were shutting down life for many. still, tonight's announcement came as a surprise. talks will resume soon in good faith to iron out outstanding points including the sovereign council. the transitional military council has agreed to take confidence—building measures, including the release of political prisoners. the ffc on its part has agreed to call off the civil disobedience. there should be no mistaking the current balance of power. the military and theirfeared rapid support force militia are in control, and many fear they have no intention of ceding power to civilians. the international community should intervene to this situation. you know?

there is no peace, you know? there is no peace here in sudan. people are suffering a lot. it is suffering felt by so many families. the relatives of 14—year—old bashir nuri mohammed want any resumption of talks to bring justice and end the terror. the boy was shot dead by the militia. translation: all these protests, he had nothing to do with any of that. i swear by allah, my heart still bleeds from the inside, and i will not shed a single tier until i getjustice for my son. there is a semblance of normal life in the streets of khartoum tonight. this does appear to be a rare positive moment, a stepping back from confrontation on both sides. but it is wise to be sceptical, because there have been many broken hopes in this story. the great question remains. can the international mediators coerce or cajole the military into sharing power with civilians?

that's the daunting task ahead. fergal keane, bbc news, khartoum. modern slavery in britain preys on the most vulnerable people in society. even when they escape, the victims‘ greatest fear is that the traffickers will find them again. it's thought there are around 136,000 victims of modern slavery in the uk, people trapped in forced labour. the government has made efforts to provide support for victims, but campaigners say it's not enough. now six new pilot schemes are being launched in england to try to tackle modern slavery — which is said to be hidden in plain sight. our uk affairs correspondent, jeremy cooke has more. our uk affairs correspondent jeremy cooke has more. it was terrifying. if i didn't do what they wanted, i got beaten up. i couldn't get away from it. fred is a free man now, but he still lives in fear. fear of being tracked down, after years of being

exploited and enslaved. all they wanted was for someone to do their dirty work for them. many trafficking victims are from overseas, but fred's an englishman, picked up in his own hometown by men promising honest graft and decent pay. it didn't work out that way. how many days a week would they make you work? seven days a week. nonstop. how many years did this go on? 15 years. it sounds like hell. literally hell. fred was rescued in a police operation and, like all victims of modern slavery, he got official help for 90 days, but it's what happens after that that's a real problem. the risk of returning to the traffickers. it's so easy to fall back into something that is known to you, if the unknown is fearful, and this is what's happening. so, they're still vulnerable and that makes them targets. the perpetrators of modern slavery

just go back and sweep them up and pick them up again. this isjohn. he ended up homeless after escaping a life of modern day slavery. another survivor who's trusted us with his story. another survivor who must be anonymous. he's still in fear. wow, it's hidden away. living out here putjohn in danger, and still with the mental trauma of what he suffered at the hands of the traffickers. he stabbed me. he put a gun in my face. i'm still running from him, yeah. nobody knows where i am. for victims, these can be moments of maximum vulnerability. butjohn was determined not to go back. my heart, my guts tell me, no, you can't do it again because you don't know what will happen next time. maybe i will be dead, you know, and nobody know about it. a young family, a new start. after they escaped

years of exploitation. they've been helped by the pilot pathway scheme. there are six of them across england. what we can do, as a pathways pilot... this one is in leeds. the charity, palm cove society, working closely with the city council. they've already helped 60 victims. is everything all right with your housing? because traffickers control people by taking their passports, their ids, there's a mountain of paperwork to overcome, to help victims with housing, training, with re—entry to the real world. it's the first time they've been asked, even thought about what they're going to do next because that has been taken away from them. so it's just a fresh start, really. with the right help, things can change. fred is happy now, after his 15—year ordeal. if i was still there now, i wouldn't be alive and walking. now i am living a free life.

i've got friends here. what more could anybody want? the new pathways project aims to save lives. and if they work, they could soon be rolled out across england, providing stability and safety for those who so badly need it. jeremy cooke, bbc news. the high court in botswana has ruled in favour of decriminalising homosexuality. gay sex was punishable by up to seven years in prison under laws dating back to the british colonial era. the judges said that human dignity was harmed by discrimination against minority groups. football, and the united states have begun their defence of the women's world cup trophy in style, beating thailand 13—0. ten of their goals came in the second half as the usa set a new record for the biggest winning margin in a women's world cup match, bettering germany's11—0 defeat

of argentina in 2007. in the men's game, scotland and wales both suffered blows to their hopes of qualifying for euro 2020. northern ireland were also in action tonight — they were the only home nation to win, as our correpsondent david ornstein reports. facing belgium on home turf is among international football's most difficult tests. not least for steve clarke, in only his second game as scotland manager. belgium's line—up read like a who's who of the premier league, and two of the star names combined early on to signal danger. scotland's goal was under siege, and shortly before half—time their defences were breached. romelu lukaku rising to open the scoring. after the break, he made it two, and with that went scottish hopes. kevin de bruyne finished the visitors off, a 3—0 defeat denting their chances of reaching

a first major tournament since 1998. at the futuristic borisov arena in belarus, northern ireland were looking to break new ground. and with a superb late finish by paddy mcnair, they did. brilliant! winning four consecutive qualification games for the first time. in control of a group that includes germany and the netherlands, although they still must play them both twice. semifinalists at the last euros, wales are struggling even to be a part of the next tournament. they had to get points in hungary, but failed. a 1—0 loss that could prove costly. david ornstein, bbc news. newsnight is on bbc two in a few minutes. here on bbc one it's time for the news where you are.

goals in that second half, six in the last 60 minutes, they were relentless. we just came into the game and wanted to showcase ourselves and what we had been performing working oi'i what we had been performing working on and land think we did that, every goal matters in this tournament and that's what we were working on this game and we got a lot of attack and i think we were really clinical and the numberat i think we were really clinical and the number at that taxi got. definitely critical is, there will be people looking at that golfing class between both sides and saying it isa class between both sides and saying it is a 13 nail score good for tournament. i know, disobedient inevitable question many people will be asking, but just inevitable question many people will be asking, butjust bear in mind, four years ago the women's world cup was expanded to include the 2014 —— 2014 that includes now, last time it was thailand's first tournament and it's a second appearance here, in terms of the growth of the lemons game, there is a big golfing class
