the the, this is due to the news live from berlin, a crew attempt in bolivia. police arrest the general ledger to have order troops to storm government buildings in le, pause the president's analysis of the co attempts and he calls on the libyans to defend democracy. also coming up, united states, japan and south korea, whole military drills and mid deepening ties, as north korea most closer to china and russia. the

hello and welcome to our show. i'm assuming there's the in berlin, and we begin in bolivia, where an apparent military coup appears to have collapsed. soldiers have pulled back from the presidential palace in the past after smashing their way into the building earlier. president luis also denounced the revolt as an attempted crew and thanked bolivians for taking to the streets to oppose it. all your police have a rest of the general who led the assault, but he's now claiming he was following orders from the president in the alright and we move on to another story out of asia, south korea, japan and united states are launching joint large scale military exercises in east asian waters are seeking to deepen ties in the face of an increasingly a sort of china and rest of north korea. but the drills have taken on an even greater sense of urgency after moscow in killing young signed a new strategic partnership. toby's east asia correspond to james charter reports

of this month. the coast guards of south korea, japan, and the united states in lock step during drills in east asian waters. the 3 countries have recently held mold, joint exercises during close in the face of been increasingly a set of china and unpredictable north korea. now the military ties a set of teeth and further this week the nuclear power to us aircraft carrier. this theodore roosevelt dalton, south korea, heads of the freedom edge exercises the 1st multi domain drills between the 3 nations. that means exercises across different military units, like a see outside the space. the intent is to improve the interoperability between our navies. and the intent is to ensure that we are ready to respond to any crisis or contingency should preparing for any crisis has

been made more context by the russia and new career last week. inks, a new strategic partnership with that, including a mutual defense project, wanting concerns, mosca could supply petroleum with intelligence for its weapons programs. if 2 leaders came tillman and flooded him. if he said, you know, you said, you know, position to us, i did station allied sweet readings towards it, but it's where we see what is happening in asia. and that's always a blog is for me, because i know you've always already moving to asia as if to a permanent place of residents. this of course, creates a threat to all countries in the region including russia. definitely, we are obliged to respond to this and we'll see what both of us and it's of the series blame each other for stoking confrontation. was that testing the limits of alliances in asia? in these drills the us wants to ensure that itself and its partners already come come earlier i spoke with mark montgomery,

a former rear admiral in the us navy and asked him to put the current exercises in perspective as well. first, thanks for having me and you're right. these are unusual drills because there try lateral exercises between united states, japan and the republic of korea. i won't say they're unique in the sense that they haven't happened before about every 10 years. the countries are able to come in the politics of the countries, particularly japan and korea come together so they can do these kind of exercises. we see the united states saw that opportunity again has worked very hard over the last 3 years with, you know, scores of try lateral meetings in order to set up these kind of complex exercises that demonstrate the interoperability and improve the interoperability between are the navy's of the of korea, japan, and united states. we know that these 3 nations, the us, south korea and japan are really seeking a new level of cooperation following last summer's camp. david's summit. how

ambitious are their efforts and how far to the extent? i think this is a good exercise. it has undersea warfare, which is summaries. countries sometimes don't like to demonstrate our capabilities to each other. so the fact that the 3 countries are doing that is significant. then there's air defense exercises, which have happened for years because of the ballistic missile threat of, of north korea, which impacts south korea, japan, and united states. we actually have done those exercises quietly over the last decade with the anti submarine warfare. the maritime or anti ship. we're afraid of excise we're going in are significant and they've demonstrated capability that should serve to the tour of the north springs and taking any inappropriate actions . you said some of these exercises have been done quietly in the past. we know that there's a newly assigned partnership between north korea and russia, for example, are some of the quiet parts now becoming louder as these always try and flex deterrence muscle as well? that's exactly. i think we're trying to show that we're an actual alliance. you know, between partners, i think with north korea and russia have, as

a transactional y, as in other words, russell is generally ignoring north korea. so they needed the, uh, the large artillery shells of which must create a sent over to 1000000 shells to the russians, to fight against ukraine with, and ballistic missile parts, and ballistic missiles that they've used to fire into ukraine. so russia suddenly needed a north korea trans, actually and, and as a result, there now passing some technology to the north grants that technology in turn, causes the united states japan and create a want to work closer together. it's combat any new threads for the north koreans. and that was mark montgomery with a foundation for defense of democracies. we'd like to go back to our breaking news story now our bolivia where an attempted code seems to have fizzled. i'm joined out by journalist madeline, argue lar, from the bolivian capital, a pause for more on this madeline. good to have you back. it seems that there's been something of an orderly end to this crew attempt. help us understand what's

happened in the recess hours in the dark, swing it out was arrested and transferred to for leasing offices office while she was being moved there. ga, something. corporations we need. yeah. you bigler agency nation. that is we subsidy . so order he do it, they got the they needed the vehicles because these weeks will be more for re year . so i think that's a because your people i've talked to even for the because sign a lease or say that it seems like a so, so it's something that was organized by the, the same in research and expressed in the re and that will be the most recent news after they did, the leaders of the media guys were to change. these is the feeling there that the

most dangerous part of this is over? yes. are coming things, are they go back to norma. however, people were really secure, then the lines, for example, definitely are still the are people a start buying things for the for week you got the team. so we were here about a blower, man. the sheriff. these, these a message that in the line these, by the name, of course it was we solace. so it seems like no, however, it's kind of strange and suspicious. i mean, to be that the, the discretion of the former a, come on there. so need us, it is, does this appear to just be a political issue between potentially rival factions and a party? for example. we know that april morales is also a political rival for the president right now. or is there also a role the economic price is going on right now and believe you currency crisis,

of course, prices rising. it seems like a strategy because and do the economy crises before we because stand by all means in the simple night or who's us or the president was really know. so the beast said king, i saw i saw the president the how was the why? because the face, any officers base democracy. so it seems like a sense to it set up people who like again, all right, that's modeling all you lot from the bolivian city of la pause talking to us about that attempted to in the city that appears to have collapsed. and of course we'll keep following this for you bottle and thank you. thank you to and over to the sports now where the group phase of the european football championships is complete. in group death, turkey took on the check republic and scored

a late goal to win the match and secure their passage through to the last 16. that result means the checks are going home. in the other match, the group georgia provided the biggest surprise of the day, scoring twice to secure their spot in the knock out round portugal advanced despite their loss. earlier in the final games of group useful voc you and romanian, fought out a one all draw the means that romania finished top of the group and progress and that points that one point was enough for us to walk. you to also make the knockout stage another draw in the other day in between belgium and ukraine meant that the red devils advance the last 16. but it was hard break for the ukrainians who despite finishing equal on points with all other teams. and group e are eliminated because of gold. well, we've officially reached the end of the group phase of the euro 2020 for football tournament here in germany. and if it was like the right time to talk about what's happened so far, and what to expect from the games ahead. joining me here in studios anthony howard

from our sports team, anthony greetings. so let's begin with what's happened on the fields. what are the biggest take away from the group face of brittany football? first off of the for the neutral view, it's just been a fantastic tournament type type. could i, for example, georgia tech to the field against portugal, and you would think half of portugal to portray live one by the games on the way through. they were qualified. and the mean, i was like georgia essential for every told him i think you're always going to have the, the huge stands like england spine, portugal, italy, whoever that is. and you rely and want those big guns in the but once a small time, while georgia stands off, it's that little wild card in the deck. they don't just fall over. i don't just full. i but i paid them to now, and they celebrating into the corner and everything goes into carol's, and there's nothing like saying fans, they weren't expecting everything to get a little something like this through to the group vice and the last 16. that's really the terry on top of already what's bank right? football and then take away took a gemini 2nd biggest team. you were on the way and to not. and you heard what happened when the 2nd go goes in 5. what i,

where do i have 5 ways to go off. and so now it really feels like i told myself, you covered the world cup here in 2006, what do you make a bureaus? 24 here in germany. thumbs up, thumbs down. how's it going so far off the field of the field? they have been some consent most to do with the trying system, getting fans to and from the study. and they've been trying to the didn't arriving when parents got lifting. gilson kicked and wondering when to end work up in the stadium 5 hours later. that's not the public transport salt that's just useful for letting say drunk. but i think overwhelming the, the on that and the, the questions about where the gym and efficiency is a real thing anymore. that's really been swift to the side by the quality of the football and, and the feeling you asked about 2006 when you walk among the fans. it's a brilliant atmosphere. there's been very, very little trouble outside the organizational side of things. and really we're left with a perfect set up right story lines on the way from people at georgia. the, the big guns are still there,

really and truly it's been since i shall. so i thought i, what about the host team? we think a lot of german flags out, a lot of enthusiasm here in germany. what are the chances going for enthusiasm to the right would? because i think 6 months ago, where if you had a said germany of really enthusiastic about his name, i would have thought not quite that that were really struggling now playing without any g enjoy. you can, you couldn't say that, but you have to say it now that they belong to the individual pieces to make a great team. but they, they went together and they bring both together by 36 year old kind of julian novels when he's 2 years younger than the keep a man woman. well, usually when he got problems in the dressing room, you need an old head to come together and bang the heads together and say, look, it goes out the door. we have to come together. but now the body language of this team screams that they moving in the right direction, and they've come a long, long way in a short period of time. now they've got denmark and they've got a shot and not just because they want to 16, but particularly because no one seen of all the 6 day and list as announce themselves as a real fight for gym. and you've got a real chance germany has

a chance. what about the rest of the field? what should we watch out for as we approach this knockout face? portugal i, i watch them on said later on, told you before i just kind of get them out of my head right now though with 39 i pay a 39 to 2 very old players. very experienced, if they're on the pitch and firing and the scoring goals, i just can't see them getting paid. all right, anthony howard from our sports team. thank you very much. 7. thank you. and finally, the big news in the reptile world, a snake in southern england has shocked sciences by giving birth to 14 all spring without any contact with another members, another member rather of a species. but that wasn't the biggest surprise researchers at the college where the reptiles kept were convinced that the brazilian rainbow below was a male. there are no plans as far as we know to change the name of the snake. rinaldo. since the unexpected pregnancy both snake and stake let's as biologist
