capital in long way is now in young southern africa regional director of the international charity oxfam thanks very much for being with us or can you give us an idea of how bad things are. yeah the situation is quite dire and bad in malawi because the flooding did affect this southern part of malawi and a fourth in districts where affected the numbers that have been released a big government and have been the common theme to based on my system and done by the u.n. and by the agencies showing that we have seven hundred if it in one thousand people that are affected and the seventy five thousand displaced living in camps some my living in churches church buildings and other living in classrooms we have recorded fifty seven deaths but we worry that there could be more dates because we also do have over five hundred people that have been injured in the process so at the moment of the flood waters have gone but it has left so much destruction in different places so at the moment we are having to deal with people who have lost the house this is they have nowhere to go back to we are left with

kind of channel often illicit funds, actually, but often just kind of tax that has been avoided, and oxfamuntries billions of dollars a year. and i think this is linked in many ways... the fact that theresa may is refusing to allow the situation to be debated while we're also seeing all the kind horrific impact that austerity is having, and saying that tax avoidance doesn't matter and it will all go in spending cuts, you have to link this stuff together and think what planet is this government on? one what do you think about? well, it is a really interesting move, because this is one of the big issues today that we have been talking about, and we have heard about, the idea that certain labour mps were trying to be bought off by this money that was being injected into certain parts of the country. and tax avoidance, as well, if you wa nt and tax avoidance, as well, if you want to get some labour mps vexed, this is one of the issues that will really get them going, so the idea that this particular vote, the story is about a particular vote that was going to take place that has now been pulle
