. well as you said sara russian officials have now said that all seventy one of the people on board this plane were actually killed in the accident the ministry of emergency situations has also published the list of the people that died we don't know what actually happened what actually caused. this crash it does seem to have been an accident. the one of the black boxes has now been found so perhaps that will give some more information but it does seem that the crash happened just after the airplane took off from them i did the airport and it was on the way to the city of disk which is on the southern tip of the year old mountains but it didn't get very far in fact there were reports that it vanished off the radar just a few minutes after it took off and then it crashed just a few minutes after that and spokesman says said that putin

has ordered a special commission to start an investigation into this this crash and he has also expressed his condolences for the victims of the crash and condolences have also been pouring in from around the world including from the german government. said we don't know what caused the crash investigators will now begin looking into that is this a common thing for a plane to just fall out of the sky a few minutes after takeoff there and what russia. well i wouldn't i wouldn't say so no i mean there are. there are a fair amount of fairly old planes operating within the country but in this case it seems to have been a fairly new plane it was just eight years old. what we also know though about the cause of this this crash is that apparently it was as they said an accident there's a criminal investigation that's been opened and that's into violation of traffic
6:04 pm
safety rules so the media at the moment are reporting different versions of what could have happened one version is that there could have been an air collision even though the ministry of emergency services says that there has been no debris from a helicopter found on the site that was the one of the versions that it could have collided the plane could have collided with a helicopter and other sources are saying that the pilot radioed in about technical difficulties so it does seem to have been an accident and rather tragic one a very tragic accident seventy one people dead there in moscow emily sure and thank you for bringing us up to date. a sex scandal is engulfing one of the world's best known charities oxfam a british newspaper reports that oxfam staff illegally hired prostitutes for sex parties on a mission in haiti after the nation's service creating a devastating twenty ten earthquake of the times of london as quoted sources saying
6:05 pm
that male charity workers threw parties with prostitutes while living in a guest house rented by oxfam that prompted the british government to warn all charities receiving u.k. aid money to tackle sexual misconduct among staff or face funding cuts oxfam is based in britain and it denies that it covered up the allegations of misconduct but haiti's ambassador to the u.k. says he doesn't believe that it is. a quarter or two years. the fact that those folks we have to leave the country you know out any punishment without even informing really of a haitian authorities about that it was a court. and now the fact that they did such a crime all there was such a court now we are wondering how many of those cases are still being helped in and haiti we don't know well that was the ambassador from haiti to the u.k.
6:06 pm
i'm joined now in the studio by dr you're in cholesky he's the head of advocacy and campaigns for oxfam germany i want to give you a chance to respond to these allegations that we just heard from the haitian ambassador did oxfam cover up this behavior i think our colleague from. i would see over in haiti at that time in two thousand and eleven didn't come up. as soon as he became event of the the geishas have reported management inside the start that the investigation internal investigation and they'd put out a press release on august fifth. to two thousand and eleven and seeing that they are undergoing this investigation twelve years later on september the fifth issue the nasa press statement. toward the public versus finding what the thought was a finding of those investigations i don't think i'm covered up i don't think oxfam covered up but you don't deny that this happened that oxfam workers were hiring prostitutes horrible and i'm personally very kind of angry and frustrated that this
6:07 pm
happens because such a very very bad misbehavior of a few puts the whole organization is in disrepute and what else on that tonight i mean he gave will be brought. safe drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people and after the earthquake in port au prince and then the break broke supported one point two million people in haiti so it was great stuff in such a such misbehavior of a few is outrageous and that's completely that misses it's completely you can see every seen what oxfam stands for isn't just misbehavior of a few because today allegations have come out very similar allegations regarding prostitutes in chad or oxfam was also active does oxfam have a cultural problem where hiring prostitutes is considered ok on field deployments and that mrs again is has a code of conduct that it's not allowed to come in to sex workers or to get in touch with. you and your and your mission so it's completely against of values and
6:08 pm
code of conduct i think those that took the incident very seriously in two thousand and we improved our procedures and safeguarding measures put in place it did it did it safeguarding teen put in place. and as today as of today a people safeguarding measures as the best practice in the sector so i think of course there was a problem. problems i don't deny that but i think the whole sector has to deal with it. and transparency is the first step raising the venice creating the venice and then kind of doings of right steps to make sure or to try to prevent such things happened in the future oxfam receives taxpayer funding from the british government also receives donations what do you say to viewers who are watching this thinking why should i give any money to oxfam i mean there was no fraud involved in two thousand and eleven when these things have been kind of spent all of them on the
6:09 pm
it's got from the government from private donors from the from the european union spent the money to help people in the eighty's it sure and you can issue a people and i think of some as a great organization i mean i think it's awesome for twenty five years now and i'm personally really. i mean i'm very angry about this and i do my very best at what i could with the adults from germany to make sure these scenes were not happen again we do appreciate you coming in and facing these allegations on behalf of your organization that's dr young lenski he is that of advocacy and campaigns for oxfam germany thanks for being with us. here's a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world myanmar's government says it will take action against ten members of security forces and six villagers suspected of massacring morhange of muslims it's not clear whether the suspects will face charges authorities claim this move is not connected to a avoid a news report on the massacre over which two journalists for
