What the papers say - February 17
A variety of stories make the headlines on Saturday - from developments in the ongoing Oxfam scandal to the latest on Brexit.
The Times leads on Oxfam, reporting that the charity has been barred from receiving new government funding unless it reforms.
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt said the funding would stop until the department was "satisfied they can meet the high standards we expect", the paper adds.

The Guardian carries an interview with the chief executive of Oxfam, and reports that he acknowledged major reforms were needed, but accused critics of "gunning" for the charity.

Meanwhile, aid agencies including Oxfam were warned that workers were sexually abusing children in Haiti a decade ago, the Independent claims.
The paper says a damning report by Save the Children warned of abuse linked to 23 humanitarian organisations in Haiti, Ivory Coast and what was then southern Sudan.
