UK's Brexit proposal 'doomed to fail', says ex-PM Tony Blair - Exclusive
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair criticized the UK government's Brexit proposal as 'doomed to fail,' predicting it will not pass in Parliament.

The British Government is considering halting funding to aid agencies that do not address such issues, and the European Commission is also a significant funder of Oxfam. Andrew MacLeod, a former aid worker, calls for greater accountability and prosecution of offenders within the aid sector.
