Brazil joins Bolivia anti-drug fight

Brazil has signed an agreement with Bolivia to tackle cocaine production and trafficking in the country.

The deal aims to replace the void when Bolivia expelled the US Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 for alleged political interference.

Brazil will help train and equip Bolivian security forces, and deploy drone aircraft to patrol the border.

Bolivia is the world's third largest producer of cocaine, and more than half its production goes to Brazil.
