| 0:00.0 | I'm going to bring on Camila Escalante now. Camila, how you doing? |
| 0:08.6 | Hello. Oh, I can't hear you right now. I'm getting a nice chat. Is your microphone, |
| 0:18.0 | try clicking settings, and someone in the chat do tell me if you can hear her and it's a problem |
| 0:23.1 | on my side. Oh, yes, yes, how are you doing? Good, how are you? Nice to see you, Andrew. |
| 0:31.9 | Oh, nice to see you too, Camila. Oh, yeah, it's bloody, it's late here. Where are you calling us from |
| 0:37.6 | today? I'm in La Paz, which is the major city, but not the capital. You know, the government, |
| 0:45.7 | the head of the government center and buildings are here in La Paz, Bolivia, |
| 0:50.6 | and this is where my news outlet, Casa Juniors is based. I'm not Bolivian myself, but this is |

| 1:25.4 | case here in La Paz and this region is around 3500 meters above sea level up to 4000, which is |
| 1:34.7 | quite high and it is difficult to physical activity. Bloody hell, I'm out of breath just thinking |
| 1:40.0 | about it. Tell us a bit about your background and your news agency and everything. |
| 1:44.2 | Yeah, well, I have been reporting on the ground in Latin America for about five, six years. I'm |
| 1:54.0 | Latin American myself. My parents were from Central America, but I've been living in for the most |
| 1:59.6 | part here in South America, around South America, but I was formerly with Telestor, which is how a |
| 2:05.3 | lot of people came to know me and through Telestor, I was able to be based in Kiteo Ecuador and |
| 2:12.7 | Caracas, Venezuela and Havana Cuba. And now during the coup that took place here in Bolivia in 2019, |
