as the west africa leaks i.c.i. jay's seventh major media collaboration investigating offshore finance there can of course be legal legitimate reasons for an individual or a company to keep assets offshore over the past few years however the consortium has broken multiple stories documenting serious abuse of the system. there are good reasons why the ice has to focus on west africa for its latest investigative collaboration. the economics according to the u.n. more than sixteen billion dollars a year is moved offshore from west africa illegally which amounts to more than the g.d.p. of six of its poorest countries combined second governance authorities here either lack the ability or the will to stop money from being stashed offshore where can't be taxed and as the investigations reveal politicians are often the worst culprits . then you have the media news organizations that are on state run not typically by those in power or those close to the second bridge all too often there's a way from holding the check count w

we have learned from ebola outbreak in west africa in two thousand and fourteen how deadly this viruseason how damaging do you can be for communities this time around the world health organization was that to a creep to. act quickly to provide support to national health authorities in terms of for deploying experts quickly in terms of dispatching supplies meanwhile in the u.k. five doctors of handed back medals given to them by the government three years ago for their work on the ebola crisis in west africa that doctors are unhappy at the tightening of wills in the u.k. national health service which means undocumented migrants have to pay for treatment they handed in the medals and a letter of protest the prime minister to resign may who brought in the new rules when she was home secretary. if there's one thing that this medal represents to us it's our belief that everybody should have access to health care if we want. but that value has been undermined by political agenda. so we're very unhappy by that many of us have seen patients who have actually been discharged to die. so we be p
