coming through there on social media another comments he made is. that this method makes for better stories it makes for more injustice be exposed. more wrongs righted i suppose we have a hundred and twenty journalists. across hundred different publications across so many different languages working on a story like that you're obviously going to cast incredible results. and so the synergies were there and at one germans mentioned eight mike force that is. at portugal's express newspaper one of their star reporter journalists at detail at pereyra of course angola. is a. former portuguese colony of portuguese speaking entre. and soul of the vet. of into this. at some of well a lot it kind of at came from porch language at journalists. now what her answer to all about. at that press from former colonial must. for example but portugal is clearly what she's talking but there are. her for being so. by business. have you heard account she is accused western media especially those reports of racism and prejudice. bearing in mind a lot for business interests bar in portugal where she had even

bought shares of. at banks in longmont. so a lot of the season because i mean she didn't she for the money has self righteous use advises that some of the movement based in the- inverted commas. west yes and they may be sort of big white organizations if you like and klay there's another side that to this whole thing which- the- gross. yes from. western sides of this argument. that's true that they will collaborate with rice people who of the club the cracks in yes and countries that are impoverished and the people in grinding poverty. and someone's. chef shop and get low price money so but then the complaint about enough to yes so if it's like. three four did not speak to the story that i would identify as interesting first of all the process which you just spoke about second full. corruption in angola. and i suppose reason huge amount of time to go into at but currently mark and i think it's what a lot of journalism and trying to draw attention. to is at. and if i could get to a comments talk about this and- don't let anyone framed. looks at the story of corruption in a poor country very easy to kind of simplify it down. to or boil it time to something that happened

in angola with across government on a- a no no real social matching and- and crafter mom of. but just as with the paradise papers this is also with the but figures of international rules. and the corrupting influence of professional and neighbors and really that's i think when the key take away. at messages of this investigation because the western organizations that have helped yes is that just as it couldn't have happened if they didn't help in the- consultation because of this he needs to be. confirmed stuff but it looks pretty but doesn't it details about despite any major bank. that but the despite at any major bank- that wasn't part owned by disinterest refusing to work with so basically the banks that actually. court cook cook cook cook i haven't collaborated more often. bikes that she owned a stake in because the others didn't really want of what to do with it. in any case it apart from the house. it's the collaboration all of. massive accounting and consulting giants as he w. seems. as well and- that is one of the major i suppose i. accusations in this piece how western advisers helped. i know about storage and monsters. and shield

fortune and very few questions rost but i suppose you can't really tonight. at that that that the a to get back to the situation in angola. at the u. counted tonight the awful- impact. over all of this. in her home country even if. i suppose what the investigators are saying. don't. just focus on not folk on all of the rest. bush it as one. said here are so many angle into. the price for this call. greed immorality it's a very. country it is. that's call of living they is she- i remember when the africa. of nations is played the- team went down the to cover that right. and getting a- in the local. was a was twenty. dollars or something we'll diamond you know it's put. everything all. first you know there was a quote that was a good luck to be that. others of course makes trouble right and then lot of people. in offer destitute. and into one of the reports i have of. many media participated in this one of the reports that. was published in the guardian today is about how an entire community was bulldozed. in central wanda to
