here is so martin donnelly. here is so martin donnelly.lly. women in syria have been sexually exploited by men delivering aid on behalf of the un and international charities, the bbc has learned. aid workers said the men would trade food and lifts for sexual favours. despite warnings about the abuse three years ago, a new report shows it is continuing in the south of the country. danielle spencer, a humanitarian adviser working for a charity, heard about the allegations from a group of syrian women in a refugee camp injordan three years ago similar accounts can be found in a united nations population fund report. the un‘s tamara alrifai joins us now from cairo. she is a spokesperson for the un‘s population fund. she is a spokesperson for the un‘s population fund. the conservative mp pauline latham sits on the house of commons international development committee. are you going to name and shame the organisations? i cannot name and shame organisations because the ones we work with have not been implicated in anything. there have been no repo

also in the story are some comments this mine from martin donnelly, who used to work as the permanent fox's department, which livened up the debate. it brought it back to less complicated language. he said going into brexit was like giving up a three course meal for a packet of crisps. it's a wonderful quote, very strong line. it sums it up. lots of other stories to get through. back on the telegraph, the story here about gps paid to cut hospital referrals. i think a lot of people are quite worried that if gps are incentivised not to send you to hospital and even if you might actually need to go, they might decide not to send you. i suspect that actually, gps are a lot more ethical if they genuinely believe than you do need to put a hospital, they will send you there. but there isa they will send you there. but there is a social attitudes survey allied to this story which suggests that confidence and satisfaction with doctors is at a pretty much all time low, the lowest in 35 years. so something is happening and people are something is happening and people a re less something is happe

your former permanent secretary to martin donnelly has likened the plan you outline for a three coursering in jeremy corbyn. is he right? first of all, it is unsurprising that those who spent a lifetime working within the eu would see it moving away from the eu would see it moving away from the eu would see it moving away from the eu as being threatening. the particular choice i have some action donnelly outlining was a choice between the eu and trade opportunities elsewhere. and a continuation of eu trade agreements. ido continuation of eu trade agreements. i do not believe that is the choice we face. we are trying to seek a full and the liberal partnership with the eu. already having discussions about expanding our trade agreements beyond the eu. and talking about rolling over the eu agreements into uk law so we get no disruption in terms of market access at the point of exit. but a choice of one of the other. the brexit process is more complex than a pack of walkers. —— walkers. we will be able to persuade her colleagues, they will find it persuasive and understand the benefits the

some martin donnelly who was permanent stroe secretary until last year compared the brexit approach is large, rich eu markets, which is nearly half of our service and good exports, plus preferential access to other markets which gets us access to other markets which gets us up to three fifths of our trade, if you're going to give that up for the promise of some bilateral deals with markets that are less important to us, it is like giving up a three course mealfor a to us, it is like giving up a three course meal for a packet to us, it is like giving up a three course mealfor a packet of to us, it is like giving up a three course meal for a packet of crisps. it is not equivalent. we have to recognise that reality before we ta ke recognise that reality before we take this decision. there has been a response from the foreign secretary, borisjohnson. but the foreign secretary boris johnson said he did "not agree for a moment" with sir martin's verdict because the "real growth opportunities" were outside the eu. he said labour's proposal for a long—term customs union would lead to "colony s

sir martin donnelly describe brexit as giving up a three course meal for a packet of crisps.d we have to recognise that reality before we take that decision. our economics correspondent andrew walker has been working the bbc‘s reality check team on what the true value of the uk‘s trade with the eu is worth. starting with the figures from the foreign secretary and he said the share of uk trade with the eu has declined to 44%. that is about the right figure for the percentage of uk exports of goods and services going to the eu, that has declined. and if he had the most up—to—date figures it would be even slightly lower. the value in pounds and pence of those exports has risen but exports to the rest of the world had increased more rapidly and of course that means the eu share has declined. worth mentioning that in this period we had the global financial crisis, and another wave of turmoil hitting the eurozone so inevitably that hit demand for goods and services from the uk and everywhere else. the eurozone is recovering now more strongly so the trend in british exports is likel
