we generally use "yani" when we explain sth in a second other way with other words.. UK,which means United Kingdom, is another name of England in that sentence which means is like "yani"

for "diye" he wants to take revange as i beated up him a year go ... in this sentence as means like "diye"

words such these refers the meaning of "diye" and "yani"
and think the tens of different versions of this usage..

I understand your meaning SuiGeneris but you have chosen a bad example. England is only a part of the United Kingdom.This is a common mistake.
