it is simply outrageous that the clearly misname integrity initiative funded by the foreign office to the tune of two point two thousand and five million pounds over the past two years has routinely been using its twitter feed to disseminate personal attacks and smear against the leader of the opposition the labor party and labor officials what the hell is going on i say able to parliamentary question recently and discovered the foreign office has given two million pounds of public money to a shady organization that's indulging in black propaganda against jeremy coburn and the labor party if it is true that there is a deep state funded to operation against party it is totally unacceptable and to next one nation plus an inquiry must be conducted to mediately well look previously the foreign office had confirmed finding this integrity initiative think tank with over one million and nine hundred thousand pounds this financial year as well as two hundred ninety six thousand in the previous financial year but following these latest revelations we know that the foreign office has now have n

the foreign office are excellent. they have contact with everybody they need to have contact with the foreign countries and embassies. but there are to what they can do. our office can spend a lot of time hunting through social media, looking for clues and traces of information. that is something the foreign office can't do. so we worked alongside them and we give as much assistance to the family as we can which the foreign office is not really tilled up to do. thank you for your time. some breaking news now. ted baker founder and chief executive ray kelvin is to take a temporary leave of absence after allegations of harassment were made against him. the company said it had been made aware of "further serious allegations" concerning mr kelvin‘s conduct. the board has appointed a committee to investigate the allegations. last week, you may remember an online petition lodged by employees accused 62—year—old mr calvin of inappropriate comments and behaviour, including force hugging. more on that as it comes in. a bbc inv

as well as that, the foreign office here says that foreign office officials are also assisting the icelandrities in any way they can. in the meantime of course, in iceland, investigations are continuing to try to ascertain exactly what caused this tragic accident. it happened on a stretch of road of bridge in the southeast of the island area, popular with the visitors with holiday famed for its spectacular glaciers, volcanoes, and waterfalls. there is a theory that the bridge may have iced over. it has a deck made of steel. it is possible that it went and the temperatures dropped too far. it could have become very slippery, that could have caused the vehicle to hit the side area, go through it, and fall around 20 feet to the hard ground below. but for the moment, that is just eight theory. the vehicle has been taken to a nearby town to test. in the meantime, investigation and iceland continue. the cost of parking is rising at many of england's hospitals. more than a third of nhs hospitals have increased their prices, with some patients and staff now paying double. some trusts have defended
