Soccer: South Korean inmates get Cup watching privilege

Prison inmates in South Korea have been given special permission to watch the matches on television.

Normally, inmates in South Korea are restricted to watching news programmes, with viewing soccer barred because it is considered too aggressive.

There are about 60,000 prisoners in South Korea.
