Border chief Brodie Clark quits over checks row
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/11/417.jpg Brodie Clark is to lodge a claim for constructive dismissal
Brodie Clark was suspended by the Home Secretary Theresa May last week after being accused of relaxing immigration controls beyond what she had asked for.
He now plans to lodge a claim for "constructive dismissal", and has denied acting improperly.
Earlier, Mrs May said he must "take full responsibility for his actions".
The home secretary allowed some checks on European travellers to be relaxed, but says Mr Clark went further in scaling back checks, without her approval.

Agencies warn of acute Pakistan floods relief shortfall
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/11/843.jpg The agencies have warned that diseases are on the rise and food stocks are low
Relief efforts for five million people affected by flooding in Sindh province of Pakistan are threatened because of a lack of funds, aid agencies say.
Oxfam, Save the Children, Care and the French agency, Acted, have warned that more than nine million people are at risk of disease and malnutrition.
The groups warn they may have to curtail their relief operations unless donors provide more money soon.
Less than a third of the UN's relief target of $357m has been reached.
Correspondents say that while the press statement released by the agencies does not apportion blame, the Pakistani government's overall response to the flooding has in recent months come in for heavy criticism
