Chile to hold referendum on new constitution

BBC World Service - Weekend, Chile to hold referendum on new constitution

Chile’s President allows a public vote on new constitution.

The Chilean President will allow a referendum on a new constitution as protests continue throughout the country.

Also on the programme: a wave of drone assaults led to the shutdown of the world’s largest oil processing plant in the town of Abqaiq. And; it appears Christians around the world are showing renewed interest in monasticism.
