“I was like, ‘oh my god, he raped me’”

A woman shares her story about her experiences with Russell Brand with @C4Dispatches in a joint investigation with @thetimes.

Brand denies all accusations including rape, sexual assault and controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour.
In response to the allegations in this film, Russell Brand said, “What I seriously refute are these very very serious criminal allegations..."
He said: "There are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack.”
Brand added: “The relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual”
Watch Russell Brand: In Plain Sight tonight at 9pm on @Channel4 #C4Dispatches #RussellBrand

Water companies dumped untreated sewage into England’s rivers and seas for more than 2.7 million hours last year.

Our #Dispatches investigation has found there are 870 sewage discharge pipes across the country without permits.

Dumping sewage from these pipes is illegal.

Illegal child labour is being used to supply cocoa beans to Cadbury – Britain’s favourite chocolate brand.

#Dispatches has been undercover in Ghana where children as young as 10 have been working gruelling hours to supply cocoa beans to Cadbury.
“Did it hurt?”

Young children bear scars from the dangerous work they do using sharp knives and machetes on coca farms linked to Cadbury. Other children are seen struggling with heavy loads, long hours and dangerous tools.
“I suffer a lot when I am farming.”

Some of the children working here have been sent by their families to live and work on the farms, stopping them from going to school.

Nearly a year after we officially left the EU @c4Dispatches is asking: what does the new free trade deal really cost businesses?
The Institute of Directors for Dispatches surveyed 635 small and medium sized businesses about their experiences trading with the EU in 2021.

We asked them to compare how much trade they’d done in January to October this year, to the last five years before Brexit.
Of the companies who responded:

Nearly half that trade with the EU said they’re doing less trade or have stopped trading with the EU entirely.

13% of exporters say that their trade to the EU has fallen by up to 100%.

Is the NHS broken?

- Desperate staff shortages
- Outdated equipment
- Dangerously long wait times
- Delayed diagnoses
- Botched operations
- Needless baby deaths
- And 12,000 negligence claims in a single year

Can it survive? Dispatches Monday 8pm @Channel4
@Channel4 “You feel ashamed of the care you’re giving.”

Chronic staff shortages are putting patients and staff at risk, and affecting healthcare outcomes across the country. By 2024, it’s estimated there will be a shortage of 160,000 NHS staff - over 10% of staff.
@Channel4 In parts of the UK, there’s just one GP per 3,000 patients. Nationwide, that number is three per 1,000 - the lowest ratio in Europe.

Currently 10% of NHS jobs are unfilled, and there is a shortage of 40,000 nurses. By 2024, there is predicted to be a shortage of 11,500 GPs.
