News. Hello you're listening to the newsroom from the b.b.c. World Service with me I mean you're some predator we begin the program in Chile a country that's seen weeks of violent protests that have led to the deaths of at least 20 people now in an effort to restore the peace both the Chilean government and the opposition there have agreed to hold a referendum next April on replacing the country's existing constitutional problem Alina is a local journalist in Santiago and just who works for b.b.c. Mundo She joins us live now about how big of a deal is this decision. This is. Bit of Good Morning it's historic I could say because it could give us a good beat deep to Tina the tense of writing a new constitution and a white page very forward and symbolically and it hopes to be a sign for the people who's been protesting on the streets since October 18th 18th that there would be a change. And the Chilean Senate held a news conference this morning what did they say and what exactly will voters be asked to decide in this referendum. So in April trying to trying t. Sity says we're pronouns in the 1st place whether they want a new constitution or not in case the voters answers a favorite treat we'll have to answer a 2nd question if we want a new constitution is to be drafted by a constitutional convention made up entirely of democratically elected delegates for this purpose or by a constitutional joint convention composed of 50 percent elected delegates and another's 50 percent by. Congresspeople Now this referendum was a key demand of the protesters what are their concerns with the current constitution in Chile. Well the current constitution until it was returned and a dictatorship and I think that's in a few rich poor and in the treaty and demands this sense that we didn't properly teams the Constitution when democracy when the country was became at about prosy and then there are so many aspects of everyday life which are determined by situation it is impossible to really change the pension system if you don't change the Constitution it is impossible to change the labor market labor right without a change Constitution same thing we have so it's been a really really important demand in t.v. For so many years. In Santiago thank you an exiled Saudi Arabian dissidents has claimed that the Saudi government has blackmailed more than 30 online influencers in the kingdom into tweeting pro se propaganda in an opinion piece in The Washington Post Omar Abdel Aziz who was a close colleague of the murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi also says that their phones were hacked or Arab affairs analyst Sebastian or she was in the Saudi capital Riyadh and has been telling us more about the allegations made by Mr Abdul Aziz he is writing in the context of the story we had a few days ago that 2 Twitter employees both Saudis essentially of the one has u.s. Nationality had been accessing private confidential information held on Twitter of Twitter users and then funneling it back to the Saudi government so what he's essentially giving is more context more background to that I mean he says that he was one of the 3 leading employments is online dissidents who were seen as most important the. Priority for Saudi Arabia to block to stop what's interesting and disturbing is the revelation he gives of blackmail being used he says that at least 30 implementers had essentially been told that their information on their phones have been hacked by Saudi officials and unless they agreed in future to voice Saudi propaganda essentially that information would be released which clearly was going to be of some embarrassment to them so they exceed it to the pressure this will no doubt be seen by critics of the Saudi government as more proof of how it clamps down and target those who oppose the government or criticize it yes I mean of course and I mean what. Is very keen to point out is the fact that Twitter is still amazingly powerful and popular in Saudi Arabia far more than Facebook for example and as as he actually describes in the article in The Washington Post at 1st you know it freed people up it gave people who were locked into their own little world in Saudi Arabia a chance to communicate to say things that they couldn't say it also made the government to some extent more accountable. You know they put up decrees and then they would remove them if if there was a big backlash but there it quickly the Saudi government again under the crown prince seems to realize this is something that needed to be curtailed and needed to be channeled and needed to be controlled and so launched Omar Abdel Aziz and to be honest many others a concerted campaign using all the techniques at their disposal to to not just put up propaganda but to block and muffle anything which was sending a message that they didn't like and you have any said dissident voice.

Alex Capstick Thank you know. Some of the best known hits there of the American music star Taylor Swift but she may not be able to perform them at the prestigious American Music Awards later this month in a message to fans on Twitter she said that music managers Scooter Braun and Scott were Chata would not let her perform the songs from her past albums which they own the rights to brand chatter have not yet responded Well our business reporter Philip Hensher has been telling us more it seems to be a personality clash to be honest there's no better way of putting it than that Taylor Swift revealed that the masters of her early music had been sold to Braun by a former record label which was then run by Bush after and she alleged that she was not told about this at the time the singer accused Brawn knew also manages various other differ musical acts to be very on a grand day is under him Justin Bieber Demi Lovato of incessant a manipulative bullying that's what she accused him of the singer then confirmed in August that what she plans to do which is also a very unusual workaround is really record music from her 1st 6 album so then she would own the rights to the new versions of the songs I'm not entirely sure how that works based around the copy different levels of copyright the who owned the song in the 1st place who wrote the song in the 1st place so Taylor Swift is set to be named artist of the decade at the A.M.A.'s the American Music Awards which is one of the reasons that you've been invited along there which is one of the reasons to want to perform some of his songs and that is there for put this all up into question because Braun and shatter a saying you can't perform these songs while you're up there on t.v. Because that would constitute the new recording of your songs you're not allowed to do that until next year and so you've got to wait next to 12 months it seems all very. Very petty because you'll just wait there for 12 months and then do that but of course a person thorn in their side they've offered a quid pro quo apparently which is that if she's nice to them and stop saying nasty things about them in the media and doesn't record the songs next year the letter do it at the A.M.A.'s But of course then she remains under their thumb so you can see the issues here on both sides of the perp sure there are no Jonathan here with some other stories from our news desk Queen Elizabeth's son Prince Andrew has given what's been described as a no holds barred interview to the b.b.c.

Ask most of the time I don't know what I actually achieved. How. Of Prince Charles has evolved from the moment when he saw. Taking a poll to now in terms of kind of where I was politically it's I would describe myself as being a reformed Republican maybe take a keen interest now in and have a deep sympathies for the predicament that Charles pity in particular but all of them are in so does that mean you are signed up Monica is now. Monica's light yeah maybe Monica is light maybe. I Prince of Wales become Lily's man of life and limb and of earthly worship do you want people watching to like Prince Charles I 100 percent want people to like the character of Prince Charles because I've got plans for series 4.

Waiting to be drafted to go to war to a certain death. In order of his life to take meaning he needs to go to be drafted Otherwise he's just waiting and that is the that's the conundrum I guess that Charles is in I have deep sympathy for that you have been quoted as saying that your mildly in love with Prince Charles. I would say that Martin Love is something to be taken out of himself but yeah I have to respect him the consistency of his beliefs or his views and the relevance of them now to me seems sort of spectacular you know he was talking about the environment 34 years ago if I may offer 2 pieces of advice never turn your back on truth not.

To have a sense of I'm going to get these these world for full on the b.b.c. . Radio one a very warm welcome from a cold and wet Helsinki this is Manny Jazz me and I've come to the capital of Finland to witness the national team's tilt at making history joining me as always Pat Nevin in Scotland What's been the headline from your week so far Pat as being the relatively quiet because of course it's an international week so would all just waiting for the international games well most people are waiting I'm Scottish so I'm feeding it so. Pretty cold but I bet you even colder in Helsinki Well I do it's not freezing actually but it's gloomy is gloomy and it's the it's not interesting cold is no snow on the ground as there's nothing festive in fact it's a kind of in between time I think because this summer the long days of sunshine and the tourists have gone but the pre Christmas festivities haven't quite started yet so what we all need is someone to make some history I mentioned Finland's tilt football history it's all about their European Championship qualifying game against Liechtenstein on Friday but some of you listening will hear this program before that game and others will hear it after that game is quite difficult for us to talk about it specifically is very much the elephant in the room in this week's. Program but what is for sure is that Finland's National Team which is never played as a major international tournament is enjoying a very good upturn in form and one of the people responsible for that is the Football Association sporting director and you Tiernan who is our special guest this week how new played $76.00 times in central defense for Finland and was a member of the golden generation that included Yari Lipman and Sammy have here and Mikel for cell amongst others and like pretty much all golden generations Hannu you didn't win anything and even your team didn't qualify for a major tournament thank you very much for coming on in the program it's great to have you what was it like as you watched your rival Sweden and Denmark and more recently even Iceland qualify for World Cups and European Championships whilst absolutely nobody said anything about Finnish football I mean it's nice to be here thanks a lot by the way 76 games for the not starting but you forgot by 5 guy beautiful gorgeous well. Of course. This isn't a female and it was founded in 1007 so 112 years ago so that's why of course it has been a little bit frustrating towards some other countries they are going to a European showbizzy the world to the World Cup and so on so it has been a really long process but now we are really close but when you've come close a couple of times the national team has back in 1997 you had to beat Hungary to reach the World Cup qualifying playoffs you weren't in that team but it was one nil to Finland until injury time and I think it was the last touch of the game when the ball went in to the goal off the back of the Finnish goalkeeper and if Inish won one then 10 years later in in the team you were in that team way to Portugal you had to win to reach Euro 2008 and you finished nil nil. Well this would you remember about that night it must have been really disappointing because yeah I'm sure that the prospect of a 1st ever major international tournament was just as big fee then as it is for everyone now it was he doesn't a part of the last game of the caisson courts Roy Hodgson by the way he was leading our team unfortunately we didn't do it and we couldn't do it we were not good enough and of course as you mentioned 1997 the game and it's good for us that our new generation they don't know anything about that game so that's why it's good that they have a new future new players and really cold incineration you know as a Scot whose country hasn't caught a fight since just after the Jurassic period I wonder why and we went away Scots haven't we don't know why we haven't qualified for so long but why Finland never qualify for the major tournament I have been analyzing a lot because it's been in charts since 2014 is almost 6 years in the current job and on missing all the countries in Europe for example of that would go to things they have done and even smaller countries Slovenia for example Iceland countries like that of course there is not only one reason but there's a lot to do with football what it means for the society because that is it really close to the people and it means of. Research sees t.v. Rights and so on there are many many different things but I think now I know that we are in a good way we are going to be the most efficient player development country in Europe that's our plan and we are really doing many positive and coatings not only forty's quota case and but in the long term as well while ascii more about the reasons for Finland's upturn in fortunes later in the program but this week. Thanks to a frankly revolutionary attitude towards media access by the Finnish Football Association's media department nearly all of the players in the squad have been made available for interviews including these 2 so I'm Sally based on an older of the brothers here. I play in need to leave right now for our sake here where Ana and 25 years old I'm. 22 years better one of the brothers. Live in Maryland imo they're a bit over a year ago and I play for them Bush so what's it like them being 2 brothers who are really really good at football because everyone else who has a brother isn't good at football they just play in the garden and end up having a fight at the end of it usually but you need to what is it like when you were growing up Sally. Will you just said it so we were playing Play Yeah usually inside and apparently injury like it's but we broke something said Holmes on glass things and stuff life goes on we're brothers we've always always played we always 4th or so and I was told us I had the physical upper hand luckily. I would say it's a dream come true but I never really even dare to dream that I would play with my brother in national team so next everything to be on the pitch also together at the same time and we'll see how it goes we were just eating. In a forest and my photos show 11 of us had an awesome picture on the wall and there's like a glass and it was broken and I was like yeah that's it for you guys like we we're Brogan like 10 years ago movie. It was a special painting Oh no no it is it's memory now and why should we fix it we have a bus and that's a reminder that we've always been so same question to both of you don't worry I'm going to. Ask you the same question in a moment what was the one thing that really annoyed you about your brother when you were growing up or even still he was like always talking and sometimes I like to be quiet and I was like going to just stay quiet for months and there was or so have been I was just. As I recall it was a mama's boy. We quite often he did something very annoying and I said something like I'm going to hit you now if you continue then I hit him because he continued and then he was screaming and I got the punishment so I still have a grouch in the fall or about that one but yeah no he's a great brother and of course brother sometimes fights and we fought quite a lot so what's he like when he gets tackled in training is he always complaining to the referee screaming Mom also a friend and now I know now he's a grown up man he even has a beard and I'm jealous for it so. He said tough guy now also in the future and the years have taught him also so that's nice so was it like when he was growing up and he watched the finish national team never do anything never qualify for any tournament wall Sweden and Denmark were there and now even Iceland have done it a couple of times was allowed to be finished in terms of international football it was quite painful because we always felt like little brothers and I also when I moved to Sweden to play football so I heard from it quite a lot so that when we are a little brothers so we had to tell them about hockey and our weapon was hockey even though they are also quite you know hockey Swedish people know us it was quite painful I have to say but like my brother said it's it's better now and hopefully food was going up of course here and also our neighbors can have the same kind of advantage on us and that don't do either of you remember the game against Portugal in 2007 which Finland had to win to qualify for the European Championship but it ended in. Actually I do I think you were quite young you were 10 years old but I remember not the brother game so much but I about. The chances that we had also some some chances I remember Maybe time was gold in the memories but I remember we were quite close to winning the game also so it's been close couple of times. But that will be a really really good result to get a win from from Portugal which teams or which team to support when you were growing up was a chance for you where you're not anymore. It is for now you are supporting like of course I want Justin to win but I'm not a big fan of any collapse. Time of year there so. Sort of finished central defender so I guess I could say sort of like an idol growing up football wise finally some after some success I can be happy being a limb for. While I'm Tottenham so I'm not very maybe down to your take so come on guys what is it about this team that has created so much success I think one of the biggest things is being in the team St in the moral of the of for the house a work work ethic Yeah and defensively we've been very very solid all the way from the nation's League and still we haven't conceded goals at home against anyone but Italy so far in this qualification so we hope we can continue that at this Friday's or and then we have a superstar up front and they're really really big talents Also up front with them . And other guys so so yeah it's a good mixture between. Good work ethics and some trickery up front guys both he thank you very much leave your time with this Sally remember leader needs his sleep so just stop talking. I'm actually sleep talk also so I. Would like a combination. As layer of ice in and his brother Sally talking to me earlier this week by so there's a central defenders as was hunted t.n.n. Who's our special guest this week is now the sporting director at the Finland Football Association What do you think of their talents as central defenders this person and produce they are they are really right and nice values that's a base basement and foundation for everything and really work I think it's great and also normally for the center offenders that's really the you have to be really you work hard and you always an example for the rest of the muscle power that you have a plane Finland's for Scotland I did but it was a long time ago when I was underage teens 0 pm Just championships many many years ago Josh I guess we won we won right if you're actually Scottish Yes you can say that yes but. Won the championship there were things called has never won any major championships at all and it was that when we won we've actually been a small country to get there and cold England then a few get ahead of them. And I managed to score the when one of the goes into the final against Czechoslovakia and I've never actually seen it was filmed for Finnish t.v. But obviously never seen it but we were very fortunate with great times over there monitor was enduro spread it became the Scotland manager and became us a technical director at the coaches Will Smith who went on to manage Rangers and Everton and Scotland as well and with some really good players sexes 7 of whom went on to become Scottish internationals from that young team so I have great memories of you know 10 spent travelling in Finland maybe the biggest memory of all trees you've got a lot of trees over there. Just to have as many trees honey yes it was years later yes we have and the lakes and also normally in the winter a lot of snow as well and part is it true that you didn't tell your girlfriend at the time. Time but you were coming to Finland because you didn't want her to know that you were a footballer Yes that's absolutely true I was studying I was doing a degree the time and you know I played a basketball but didn't tell her much and I said I'm going to go away for 2 weeks and do about studying for these final exams and then also mention the fact that I was going to Finland to play for Scotland in the Euros I didn't think we would do that well and I made the desperate mistake of winning the tournament getting played of the tournament and being in the back pages of all those papers so yeah she found out. So what did you tell your girlfriend that you actually did and well I was a student I was I was part time football clade all the other players in the team in that youth team but all you know Celtic Rangers etc but I was only part time you know 2 nights a week playing a bit you know playing a Saturday afternoon and so I was a student now filled time student the rest attending this degree so it wasn't that hard to hide the fact it's playing a bit but it didn't last very long and she did forgive me when she finally found out I was a very funny moment I walked back home and there she was standing with a paper and going yes. With your face in it how do you what was it like when you were a teenager playing football in Finland I magine you a part time as well you know something I come from a La Plante So that's all you can just think about I was 9 years old and I was writing an essay at school and in law plundered gimme mom terrorists like it's 7 to 8 months a year snow and I was writing and they said I really want to become a professional football player I want to play in Spain and afterwards the teacher thought that Nancy that I was serious look at outside there's a lot of yeah but that's my dream my dream became true what was it like growing up in Lapland because you know for those of us who don't live there thinking with the with the mind of a child you'd think that it was an amazing. Place to grow up in with all that snow and I mean what is it what does Christmas mean to you or is it just a bit of a cliche because he was just surrounded by it or not basically I have only one friend he's name is Mr Santa Claus and if you want to get some presents the next Christmas so you have to be really kind for me because it's a different environment let's say sometimes it's really cold a lot of snow it can be I think my record was minus 41 or something and but you had to be hot and it makes good for your head kind of crack actually jump in and ask your question there is yeah you do you have a laugh a bit blinded talk about Father Christmas and because you come from a small country as I do as well people of the No one person from that country say to you oh you Conference gotten Do you know someone saw in those 4 or 5000000 people here and I always think it's quite arrogant so I'm going to do the same to you I've got one friend from Finland and I wonder if you know him and if you know what he's doing many times these names bellicosity. Seymour Of course I know seem. To be honest. And then I thought it would seem as well is in his notice he's a great coach as you know there are not so many coaches who are coaching a proud moment but he's doing really well he's dynamic and he can manage people as and that's really important as the voice of honey 10 and he's our special guest on here on World Football on the b.b.c. Let's switch our attention to Chile now and in Chile for almost a month there's been no league football because of the demonstrations that have swept the country at least 20 people have been killed in clashes with police and the trouble has forced the final of the cup at liberty Doris to be moved to the Peruvian capital of Lima the Chilean government responded to the violence by declaring a state of emergency and calling in the military to deal with the protests saying that the country was a war and power I understand. I've been speaking to a footballer about what it's been like to be a player in the I meet those conditions now straight and I've been speaking to a very interesting character as well Richard barely grew up in France actually seeing an English mother and a Chilean father was born and in London him self he's played in 6 different countries and this currently in jail he would replace the 2nd say 2nd Division say the poor demat and learn from or Hagens f.c. What great name that is and has been Tell me all about the current situation over there basically started a bit like what happened in France France thought with the petrol prices and then people sort of reacted to that here it started with the prices of the on the ground going up and then I suppose people you know they reacted to the fact that they were not happy with with. With the prices going up with different other things so so they started with peaceful protests thing and then obviously you know there's there's always a. Certain people that start violent you know start doing violent stuff basically all over the country especially and. It's a bit tense at the moment where you say tense is that the entire country is laid out you don't in the south of the country you just know yeah I mean as time you know there it's not as tense but you you have people protesting. But you know I mean that still is some some bylines for sure and so yes so this this hasn't this is not stopping it wasn't like for the players to have so many much as counsel that are heated that my career because you want to prepare week on week but so many Much has been cancelled exactly I mean I mean we just we don't know we just training with know with no goal we don't know when we're going to start playing again and the biggest matches in the country oh also uncertain you know they want to put them out very early hours during the day but then most most agents in the. Not owned by by the clubs there the municipality the actual the city owns owns the stadiums and now that so they are blocking the entrance for the actual teams that play it's a delicate situation and actually now I found out that the national team has a friendly against pirouette and the players are decided not to play how do you think Cindy think football will return in Chile have any of. That is a very difficult question I mean things don't seem to be improving I mean France lost in a couple of months so this could last it could last months all or if people like you know what the president has to say you could improve very quickly we have no idea I mean hopefully soon because 'd you know I want to play. And everyone wants to play I have no idea the league might be called off a man of many backgrounds and experiences Richard barrel a speaking with Pat there well from the fi Brazile atmosphere of Chile back to the calm and cool and possibly Is it fair to say reserved Helsinki and Finland 110 and form International I'm very interested in the in the in the relationship between football and the Finnish personality let's deal with the personality 1st give us in general terms what are Finns like basically when you meet famous people the 1st feeling is that they don't have any small talk they don't say hello to the neighbor for example and that's the 1st person you get when you come to feel and but there are a couple of values what we have over here we're really honest for example and also the you know under surveillance safe it's clean and these are probably really nice values No Doz I'm not I promise this isn't a criticism in search it's actually an observation that your former goalkeeper Antony I mean. To me about Finns He said We know very flamboyant people so as the national team has become more and more successful and the European Championship is what closer and closer has that changed a little bit amongst football fans are they are they showing passion and from Boyens as their football team gets better from better our fans at the moment or to be honest the fans they have been really great these last couple of months really the football fever has been in the media also because it's not like in England or u.k. That there or part of Scotland for example football codes are countries that that to me you know media football is everywhere it's really close to your skin it hasn't been like that in Finland but at the moment it it's really really nice to see that it's much much closer What's more beautiful building the media as well and hopefully even more next year and next summer Bonnie just to fill you in slightly and I have one other finished friend not just seem of a card and you know when you 1st meet them it takes a little while to get going but I can promise you mix 2 packs element party line and when you get em going trust me he is like he is fine he lets go so maybe that's the thing about it if any people you know their reserve to start with but you know they can let their humor go you have only difference right only to friends I maybe think if I have forgotten me my apologies now now you have 300030 I'm delayed to develop 100 world football making friends let's end this week by talking about this national team of yours how to be honest as a player who almost made it to a European Championship he is there a little part of you that is jealous of this team to be honest I'm so happy for the team for the players for the coaching staff because to play in the European Championship it would be great for the. And you were kind enough to send me some information and something that a statistic that really jumped out at me was that the average salary of a player in the Finnish Football League is 20000 euros whereas the average salary of a player in the Finnish Ice Hockey League is 70000 euros just shows you know what football is up against it's not the it's not the biggest sport here but more do you think this form of the national team and winning almost against every team they play against would you think that will do for the profile of football in this country of fully. Salaries and the seller levels and t.v. Rights and the resources what we have over here but where the biggest board we have one of the 4000 because of players in football and are so good they have for example the 70000 to so we'll double us because it's Ok but of course the finance is different the nice Ok And that's that's why you would want to help the players but also for example facilities that's something we have done quite well in Finland to be honest we have I think that the moment we had the best and biggest network of the indoor horse for example we have 89 indoor horse in Finland and I think 38 of them are really full sized beaches and that's something about we there's some kind of found a some back around 40 tuxes I think but I was in imminent and of course when you see them a pool demo Masel out and so you know Sterling and thought these 3 faces all the time so close to you and you can't go them away and you see them all the other time somewhere and when you come back to Finland you don't see them yet or so that's I really want to build up the atmosphere the culture also here and the whole feel and think about not only how can we develop better players a bit of course it's about the society goes can we build up the whole culture for because it means something for the people and using football to me. Make the society even but the how to thank you very much for taking time out of your busy day and such a is such a big week to come into the studio and talk to us about Finnish football next week we'll have much more on the Finland liftin Stein game join me and pat then from all of us from Helsinki and Scotland goodbye but I thought it was but the outfit is abuses that came from a movie.
