4:01 pm
a show of defiance following last week's immigrant violence. also coming up in the next sixty minutes germany's think about organ donation thousands of people meet new organs but few and few are willing to donate for a controversial law change may be the onset of. time twenty years of google having already come could be internet will look at the tech giants search for the next big idea. i'm phil graham welcome to the program. japan is being battered by its strongest typhoon for twenty five years of a version a million people in western and central regions to leave their homes and move to temporary shelters typhoon gebbie made landfall in japan southwest hitting the cities of kobe osaka and kyoto with torrential rains and violent gusts well one point five million households are without power the typhoon is also causing serious
4:02 pm
disruptions to road rail and air traffic. you get the latest from but journalist michael pan who joins us from tokyo welcome michael. b. has just made landfall talk us through what's happening. well the typhoon is extremely powerful in fact they're saying that it could be the most powerful typhoon to hit japan in twenty five years. however it's also fast moving it hits the concept of region which is the second largest urban area of japan and it moved quite quickly through it and is now going along the japan of sea coastline the amount of damage that it did in terms of ripping off rules and smashing a ship into a bridge and cutting off the consul airport was pretty amends but the good news is that it seems that the human toll is relatively light compared to the ferocity of the storm that japan seems without its fair share of natural disasters recently
4:03 pm
thing about two thousand and eleven. the typhoon of course just a couple of months ago there was another one of these storms is the country well prepared at. all well i think that among the nations of the world there's probably no country that is well prepared to deal with massive natural disasters in japan precisely for the region reason you say it's a country which is hit by natural disasters quite regularly major earthquakes volcanoes storms and this summer in particular has been a dramatic one with a heat wave which killed many people giant rainstorm so it's been rough going but japan handles it pretty well. thank you for. the reports that i highway overpass in. india has collapsed there's no word yet on fatalities the broken bridge section appears to be about thirty meters in length
4:04 pm
a police and firefighters are using cutting tools to try to free people from the wreckage. falling joins us from the welcome song what more can you tell us. well so i would consider saying that you know a huge segment of the. bridge came crashing down late this afternoon now this happened in a kind of upscale southern neighborhood off calcutta it happened at the beginning off rush hour following some heavy rain in the city now we've been seeing some dramatic footage on indian television with segments of the bridge and lying on the road with some bagels still on top of it and the officials here say they fear that people are still trapped under that bridge some may be in there and there is a massive rescue and relief operation underway the indian army which has a base nearby has sent in personnel to help with that operation there's a big police presence in the area cranes have been pressed into service there is
4:05 pm
you know really tons of concrete and mangled steel and metal which was distributed moved to an extent of this tragedy becomes clear. out of of course a big crowded city was this overpass well used. that's right i mean calcutta is densely populated it has population of over fifteen million people and yes this bridge which is reported to be about forty years old was one of the busiest in the city you know it was heavily used it's all heavy traffic it was a bridge that connected the south of the fifteen or it's good although some old we retract in one of the only serious of the city called for but reports here in the indian media say that the one that we just signal to the bridge seems to have collapsed over a ditch and that presumably means and thankfully that we need to see fewer casualties stand round there are reports of some people being taken to hospital some with critically. i want to people saying about the cause of this collapse.
4:06 pm
when we still don't know at this point what could have triggered this accident but what i have to say about you know major collapses off bridges and other infrastructure are unfortunately not uncommon in india you know that in course on and off the standards and construction standards here it's quite a week or so we are unfortunately often see these kinds of incidents for example in earlier this year and me about eighteen people were killed when a flyable collapsed in the northern city of what a nazi and calcutta says has seen a major tragedy like this about two years ago when an under construction fly work collapsed in the busy area of the city you know more than twenty people were killed in that incident and it really sparked days of rescue operations by special teams so if you are in delhi thank you thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the syrian observatory for human rights says russian warplanes have resumed bombing rebel

controlled province after a three week hiatus iran says efforts are being made to remove militants with the least human cost us president don't trump has warned syria and its allies against what he called a reckless attack on me on clay. coalition forces led by saudi arabia have admitted the airstrike on a yemeni school bus last month was a mistake forty children were killed in the attack the western backed alliance said they thought the bus was carrying who's the rebel leaders the coalition says those accountable or will be held responsible. france's popular sports minister laura has resigned from president mark ross cavitt the second the ministerial departure in as many weeks the resignation comes as the president's popularity dips because of disappointing economic figures out of the scandal surrounding the beating of a protester by a presidential bodyguard. it's not about being left wing or right wing it's about during the decent thing that's how the lead singer of one of germany's best known
4:08 pm
rock bands described last night's concert against racism in the east german city of cabinet's musician said they wanted to send a signal after the violence that followed last week's anti migrant protest in the city tens of thousands of people turned out to watch. your views into me there were more of us that was the motto of the candidates concert is liberal germans responded to calls to stand up against far right racism before it started there was a minute of silence for the thirty five year old whose fatal stabbing unleashed last week seventy migrant protests. the mood was peaceful albeit with a clear message to the racist moms who shocked the country with thousands chanting nazis out. i. think. this is absolutely fantastic because the people of chemist's we have to show
4:09 pm
that our city is colorful open to everyone and that we have no sympathy for what's happened here in recent days as i said and that's. because you can't rush tears are just we are not a far right city the majority of the population is totally normal democratically civilised but not far right for god sake we don't want that we don't want such people you don't want to take a. several well known german bands performed encampments including local group comes close the driving force behind the concert as the group singer explained at a press conference earlier. today asking. after all this rubbish happened we called friends on tuesday evening and asked them if they would join us for the concert. within twelve to twenty four hours everyone had said yes everyone was just getting in touch with everyone else and then all these people
4:10 pm
here agreed to join the conversation gets in with them starts the lead singer of one of germany's most popular rock groups to toward an horse and explained his motive for taking pot. business it's essential that we're clear that this is not about a fight between left and right everybody who's in any way decent and it doesn't matter what political beliefs you have should oppose a radical right wing mall that attacks people. or fish but. few people at the candidates concert would disagree with that their city put on a different face on monday with thousands united in a fun loving show of music and tolerance. that's good will from t w chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome milind germany's debate over migrants and racism has dominated news headlines and
4:11 pm
here and around the world of late how significant is an event like the candidates concert. i think it's absolutely significant it's not going to convert to bands of neo nazis overnight but the organizers of this concert made it clear that that was not there and they had no illusions in that respect but since the events in chemist's we've heard repeated calls for people to take a stand for the silent majority to make its voice heard and i think we absolutely saw the people attending this concert and also those who are going to a state who by the way the lead initiator was a local group one of the bands that played cuff clip and they made it very clear they are not willing to see the streets of their city of candidates simply handed over to the far right and neo nazis so i think in that sense it is absolutely a signal to the region to the rest of germany and also to the world which as you
4:12 pm
said has been closely following developments here i'm going to stay with us if you would like your views on this and next i said because as german mainstream politicians try to work out how to win votes as back from thought i'd thought is like the f.t. the new leftist movement was launched today and by then. the district of when sure and housing is on the eastern periphery of berlin seemingly far from the city center and the rich and powerful unemployment runs high many here say they are tired of politicians the area used to be predominantly left now the far right populist is gaining support. i am fed up with politics here is what the politicians have no regard for the people in this must fight for the most part they don't do you want the promises. or stand up as a group that says ordinary people should do just that stand up and make themselves heard it has a website but no party structures yet and sees itself as left wing steve hudson is
4:13 pm
involved in the group originally from one. he lives in germany so we've really got to restart again to reach out to the millions and millions of people who feel completely like they don't have a political voice almost everybody in here they're all kind of university graduates and stuff which you know that's fine but so many people fifty percent the population on this we just not represented. in wants to bring together all people on the left and also win over or win back people who now support the a.f.d. and going to them and saying you know what is it really is it really that you want to vote for these guys because you're right system you hate people with a different skin color or with a different religion or is it that you feel ignored and excluded and that your knees have been taken care of the founders of the initiative are men and. he used to head the social democrats then switched to the left party. she's
4:14 pm
parliamentary party leader of the left party and his wife. critics accuse them of being populists. in one sure and housing opinion is divided can make a difference was reasonable wouldn't those i see it as a positive development without the man i don't think feel the chief. guy uses a left wing movement like not won't change a thing. it's early days for but it would probably like to win over the people of jordan sure and how's. about the chief political correspondent milind crying melinda stands found as have just given the first press conference to tell us more about that aims and how they want to change them well as they were just expressed by his out of agone connected to you saw in that piece she's the head of the parliamentary group of the left party she essentially expressed two aims that are perhaps potentially contradictory one is to reclaim the streets from the far right
4:15 pm
from the anti immigrant to get a movement the other one is to bundle the forces of the left in order to pave the way for a new left leaning federal order to try to win these voters isn't there a risk that they themselves are moving toward populist nationalism in order to try to win that right wing support and then on the other hand bundling the forces of the left critics even within the left party led by sorry if i can connect in the parliamentary group they say look this potentially could split the left further and there's a sense that that this probably could be a movement of short duration yes it's an online movement right now but will it really translate into the kind of widespread voting changes that the act is looking for many people are skeptical willing to cry thank you. i'm going to machall is in front for today trying to boost the german financial capitals chances of taking
4:16 pm
over from london as europe's funking center get hot as it hit with a business update and is one of those who hope that london's loss could be frankfurt's again when britain leaves the e.u. in march next year because of the brags that non e.u. banks and financial service providers will no longer be able to do business in e.u. countries from their bases in the british capital and number of bankers have already traded their apartments on the banks of the thames for the weather mind but paris is also looking to move those on the move. the eiffel tower the louvre gallery or the arc de triomphe globally recognized paris landmarks frankfurt can't hold a candle to them it's a room a city hall pales in comparison but frankfurt was germany's financial hub even before the european central bank was headquartered here that's why many in the city's banking district are especially optimistic about britain's exit from the
4:17 pm
e.u. . front foot isn't he goes on frankfurt's an important european financial center but it's also obvious that the city of london remains the european financial center in the take frank for quite some time to take the title nonetheless an increasing number of london banks are eyeing paris and frankfurt as potential alternatives it looks like in april next year they'll lose the right to conduct business from their london offices over twenty financial institutions have already decided on frankfurt . fun for talking for time frank for it has the advantage that it's well established more so than paris frankfurt has the advantage of hosting the european central bank guys it's important for financial operators to be physically close to it to understand what's going on with paris got a boost when the european banking agency decided to relocate there from london. frankfurt also. but paris was offering rent free offices and now paris as offering
4:18 pm
tax breaks for the bank as well. well let's talk to frankfurt especially to a man there which is who is only bots only can you actually feel that it's happening or is it all wishful thinking on the part of the frankfurt has an chancellor. well part part so part so it's a little bit of wishful thinking when you look at all those thousands of jobs that banks have in london and they need a presence in the e.u. the e.u. the e.c.b. banking supervisors have made clear they need more than a mailing address here in frankfurt or paris for that except for that matter they need to move personnel and capital but when you look at the deutsche bank for example which is headquartered worldwide here in frankfurt it has about eighty six hundred people in london and it's said that they're only going to move a couple of hundred of those jobs over here and you see similar stories from most
4:19 pm
of the other major banks so yes there will be more jobs but it'll probably be a couple of thousand and not ten thousand or more which some of the analyses say there will be movement but it won't frankfurt won't replace london or. avoid jobs moving to paris. in frankfurt thank you very much. google and it's a noun that became a verb and a very very valid valuable company twenty years ago today a pair of ph d. students working out of the proverbial garage wanted to make the internet experience better so google was born and the excitement of the young democratic internet its ambitions were courageous delivering the world's information to anyone with internet access but the company its business practices its aims in scope and also its uses have changed dramatically over the past twenty years. google's
4:20 pm
business model is simple users searching the internet tell google about themselves allowing google to sell targeted advertising to businesses the firm i.p.o. at eighty five dollars a share in two thousand and four and quickly rose in value. new products like google mail and acquisitions like you tube expanded google from a search engine into an online network where users could shop or find news. as the mobile internet and apps began to rise google moved to make up ground to pioneer apple releasing the android operating system and app store. today google employs more than eighty five thousand people worldwide and is worth more than seven hundred billion dollars it has fifteen data centers around the world and that's part of the problem information is increasingly seen as something to protect tech firms are being held to new standards of social responsibility. and inside
4:21 pm
google there are pushes for gender diversity and against collaboration with governments like the u.s. or china. so a lot of transformation in only twenty years. i want to talk about google a bit with the journalist covering the tech industry it's motherboard that's a part of vice media welcome to is a. google just in the right place at the right time what has made it so successful . yes mainly the first is the algorithmic ranking off websites previously search engines where around nine hundred ninety eight there was fraulein portals which to leverage basically lucky results of that and the idea that google brought into it was ranking websites why considering how often they have been linked to it's an idea that comes from science how many referrals as
4:22 pm
a paper get means your paper is probably and. a little more relevant and that was what made it so successful the second idea was the turning that edward that business aspect of it around so the search was connected with edwards and that still provides most of google's profits up until today to talk about google's profits very successful company and the company's motto is do no evil google living up to that well google is a monopoly in many senses so you can organize your and tired a around and with google products. and that comes with complications. also the sprawling. outlook that the company alpha but the holding company has turned into problems recently the example example for example project maven was something that was recently talked about very much visit which is
4:23 pm
a computer vision program in connection with the pentagon which would essentially help drone drones analyze footage better and separate moving from still images a lot of employees though have turned against google and three thousand employees have signed a letter saying please pull out of this this is not what the company should stand for and it actually were to do with employees of this rule is famous for having you know everything is free cafeterias in the house massages and they really do with the employees still have that much pollitz well it depends like this is this was only three thousand employees which makes up three percent of all google earth and their initiative made google turn around even though the current c.e.o. is very much invested in the defense business because he's also on the defense board so i think that might be some power balances playing off every now and every
4:24 pm
now and then but in general i think people who work at google do work and they do realize that they're part of something very big and unique let's hope it stays that way for another twenty years thank you very much sure is a local thank you. relations between russia and the west hit such a low point earlier this year that people were asking if we were on the verge of a new cold war so well we will. thank you well maybe not the script affair russia's actions in syria and crimea and u.s. and european sanctions against moscow did make it seem like we could be so it's surprising skewed me to discover that the russians currently view americans more favorably than they have for years as they don't lose many dragons so rich found out. he used to be a pro. now this thirty one year old manager plays in the amateur league. but he still has one hell of an arm. as
4:25 pm
a kid he was fascinated with baseball and started training at an early age he's playing again today even his club the record on the outskirts of moscow. heard about it more people are becoming interested in baseball after the parents come and watch their kids play but it's not a hugely popular sport it's not mainstream or stop. not like in the u.s. anyway where games attract thousands of spectators until a few years ago american diplomats and business people used to play here but after the two thousand and fourteen ukraine crisis many of them left moscow. since then diplomatic relations between the u.s. and russia have to teria righted further something good many locals regret. your do more stirring yours ensure no one in russia or the u.s. wants to see the relationship between our two countries worse and. yet the last thought i think relations between our two countries will improve and then the world will become more civilized and conflicts will be resolved in ways you may my us
4:26 pm
yeah i just don't buy i like to see the political relations improve because on a community level they're good i knew how to shoot. the most recent opinion poll showed that anti american sentiment has dropped drastically in the last few months in may nearly seventy percent of russians had a negative attitude towards the u.s. now that figure has dropped to just forty percent two thirds are in favor of improving relations with the west. partly to confront that to me it seems that the politics of confrontation just isn't working anymore and i was there is clearly a trend towards closer cooperation cooperation of the in my view and over the coming isolationist thinking shows that it's so for a. ring and. that's. just like in the us tasty snacks are a must while watching a baseball but instead of hot dogs here in moscow pancakes are on the menu talking
4:27 pm
politics during the game is strictly. it's good when we play against american teams whether at home or abroad but amateur sports changed bilateral relations either for better or for worse. and that's why the few russian baseball fans who come along simply concentrate on the game. they want to be doubly unusual. from baghdad still to come will say how some children and they are capital kabul afghanistan benefiting from a new robot library despite big countries soaring illiteracy rates. i'm taking sides over taking the name sports goods john to nike puts american football player column capital at the center of its new ad campaign and ignites a new control officer. passed on role on the way.
4:28 pm
i'm cold temps are corruption. wealth is concentrated in the capital while the rest of the country suffers from bitter poverty and policed by. africa second largest oil exporter generates billions in sales but the money ends up in the hands of a small shameless. d.w. . a muse alice did exist that's the unsub. old song called shake it's not good it's kind of simple side by side. people have put big dreams on the big screen. in movie magazine on t.w.
4:29 pm
. make them strong people make fun about their own social economic and political problems . in mozambique we say that you asked laughs so you don't write it's how people call me did they do. as a journalist us. stocks in the bad banks are less helpful to them. by checking all those jokes finding out what people are talking about. how to ask. about my country and about. doing to this day my name and i work at.
4:30 pm
this is data from the top story this hour japan has been hit by the strongest typhoon for twenty five. of the country's west with rainfall and gusts of more than two hundred kilometers an hour just told told a million people to leave their homes and go to safety. on the highway overpass in kolkata india has collapsed a number of casualties is still unclear police and firefighters are using cutting tools to try to free people from the wreckage. afghanistan has one of the highest rates of illiteracy in the world more than sixty percent of the population and one in three children cannot read or write now one afghan woman has set up a mobile library in the capital kabul to try to give some children a chance to discover the world of books. this is no ordinary bus it offers hope to children in capital every day it tears
4:31 pm
the afghan capital's residential neighborhoods for two to three hours children can discover worlds otherwise little known to them and get lost in a good big. books with stories about princes and beggars best. dragons too. i read books in two languages here in past two and dari. fresh to careen started the mobile library with the help of donations she studied at oakford tonight wants to encourage critical thinking among children back home the bus is in a safe space and other communities where it is far better is much more security but i think overall the security problem in the country is less than that get exists for any project so we cannot stop our work just because of the life sunday and security issues that for nine year old shot eagerly waits for the bus to come by each day i haven't heard of it yet but i enjoy coming here because there's so many
4:32 pm
exciting things to eat i like stories about goats best i don't have any pics at home that. shot nuns father always picks his daughter up from the bus the family fled to kabila from can do is ignore the next ghana stand thinking they'd be safer in the capital but explosions rocked the city nearly every week recently a car bomb exploded near their home panicking shot numbs parents went out to look for her. but. after the blast we finally found shot at the mobile library we were relieved but except to go to the bus we don't let the children out of the house or that. afghanistan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world at more than sixty percent one in three children cannot read or write so fresh to karim also reads to the children a lot keeping hold of. for me is highly important because it was for these children and it will for that together. make something happen in this country so i'm i'm.
4:33 pm
fresh to careen has started collecting donations again in the hope of renting another bus and bringing more pics to more children. thousands of people in germany need new organs hearts or kidneys say but a few a few are german so willing to donate them it's currently illegal here in germany to harvest someone's organs without their consent but that could soon change health minister is proposing that organ donation becomes mandatory unless people explicitly declare that they don't want their organs to be used eighteen european countries operates such opt-out systems boosting donor numbers spain leads with nearly twenty two hundred. last year germany an opt in country didn't even reach eight hundred but health ministers proposals have touched off a widespread debate. york
4:34 pm
philip had a good life with a family and a solid career that's until an infection destroyed his heart when he was in his late forty's in the hospital the tormenting wait for a new organ began inseam pickling one of armor you lie in a hospital bed and suddenly you hear someone rushing down the corridor pushing an emergency resuscitation car and then you hear is a person's relatives arrived something because the person has died you go through all that with the family and the medical staff it's the worst thing your scared also that you could be next to this when you can also and and couldn't. philip had to wait seven months for a new heart that's not uncommon because the number of organ donors in germany is falling with more than ten thousand patients on waiting lists donations have dropped to just eight hundred a year in feeling clinic and many clinics organ donations happen so rarely that the concept of donation is quite foreign to when it does happen the staff often don't know the proper procedures and kemi quite overwhelmed. it's not that people are
4:35 pm
unwilling to donate experts say but rather that they fail to give written consent before they die as often leaves grieving relatives facing a momentous choice in follow those first albums honestly the moment when a loved one dies all these relatives are not in a strong position to make clear decisions to put aside. for if so easy if they know exactly what their family member wanted done this is large but otherwise it can be very difficult to decide on their own discounts really that's why germany's health ministry and spawn wants to change how organ donation works in germany currently people voluntarily opt in to donate but under the new proposal they would have to opt out if they didn't want to. and if. lawmakers declare everyone an organ donor it is an infringement on people's individual liberty but i still think it's necessary for. some call the proposal an ethical. i
4:36 pm
believe it disregards the fundamental concept of organ donation it's no longer a donation donations are voluntary and this initiative is forced flee which is against the very nature of organ donation. spend much for organ recipient york philip the decision is clear especially she's a horrible waiting time experience could be shortened substantially and people in this situation would be happy if the circumstances were improved in my view that wouldn't be hard to do this philip has been living with someone else's heart for three years he is grateful for every new day it gives him. well as you can imagine much of the debate around the subject is happening online today social media. well could generate what sort of reactions you see people have a lot to say about this and here in germany gonna spend organ donation has been
4:37 pm
trending let's start with those in favor they say that organ donation should be the rule and not the exception because it's costing lives three in fact every day that's the average number of people who die in germany every day when i sing for an organ transplant and as we heard in the report there are over ten thousand people on wasting leasts there is the figures being thrown around on social media as well this user from berlin is tweeting organ donation is a humane act that can save lives those who don't want to be a dharna can simply say no thing goes on just say they should reconcile this with the fact that as i said three people die each day because there aren't enough dharnas we have a statistic as well from twenty sixteen that shows that in countries where you have to opt out being an organ donor countries like spain portugal and belgium there are many more organ donor nations per million than in countries where that system isn't
4:38 pm
yet in place like here in germany the netherlands and the u.k. so maybe the system doesn't work others are going a little bit further they're saying that those who refused to be an organ dharna shouldn't themselves be allowed to receive organs this person says it seems like a fair trade off for this selfishness don't quite know if that's the way to go but this some of the people who think it's a good idea i'm going to have a side of the argument well of course talking about organ donation is not so comfortable because we're talking about saving lives but also talking at the same time about death and dying so that's making some people on easy but as we heard in that report the man argument is against free will people saying that putting them into a system where they have to reject be. an organ donor rather than agree to it takes away their personal autonomy one user had this to say to the german health minister . who do you think you are caught put people on the market like cattle what happens
4:39 pm
to my body is my decision and not politicians. have some funny worries they worry that organ donors won't receive the same kind of medical attention when their life's in danger and that this might create an organ donation big business not quite so sure about that but there are some religious reasons to use for example in islam there is uncertainty as to whether the qur'an forbids or allows organ donation so there are some groups of muslims who are very against it and others here for us we polled our own social media users about this more than two thirds said that they were in favor of organ donation and over half of them said that they actually had registered as organ donors. a small number twelve percent said they would absolutely not donate their organs and just over a few so that they were undecided so a lot of differing opinions out there but i think the yes camp is slightly in front of camp. officials in brazil
4:40 pm
say the five go to the country's oldest and most prestigious museum was fueled by underfunding the national museum in rio de janeiro to twenty million items including the oldest human skull found in the americas the course of the blaze is not yet known but the buildings had no sprinkler system the fire hydrants closest to the museum were dry. angry scenes the morning after the disastrous fire which ripped through brazil's historic national museum. protesters demanding to inspect the damage for themselves they want to see the museum rebuilt and punishment for those who failed to protect the two hundred year old building and its priceless contents. how can we explain in words what you have lost we are here to say goodbye to the museum and to fight for its restoration our national memories are here. but here let us i went to sleep
4:41 pm
thinking it was a nightmare i thought i was going to wake up from it is a. little just i feel more anger than sadness because it could have been avoided there wasn't even water of course there are guilty people and they have to be punished. devastated stafford devoted their careers to looking after the twenty million pieces in the museum's collection this curator came straight to the museum on hearing about the fire she helped to recover some valuable mature writes. i was in a rush to get in because i knew where the meteorites where they were brought out of the ashes the real phoenix. officials admit the museum suffered from years of underfunding and neglect under successive brazilian governments it's necessary for all the authorities that have the
4:42 pm
resources specifically the federal government to help the national museum put its history back together now. we've already lost part of our collection brazil cannot lose its history. but as you. wish but. it's feared as much as ninety percent of the museum's collection has been destroyed even if the structure is rebuilt huge numbers of irreplaceable artifacts have been lost forever . it watching d.w. news live from a still to come it's a vision in music in munich a celebrates the os of illusion and illusions a challenge helston for the culture to us will be here with the details. first a sports giant nike is weighing in on
4:43 pm
a racially charged control mostly in the united states but tension putting it on a collision course with president trump deal with ukraine from d.w. sport cunto pursuit welcome jonathan what's going on well as you can see from the behind us a little to do with the taken the movement now that was started by the american football quarterback called in captain and he was the one that led this movement back in twenty sixteen basically choosing to nail rather than stand during the national anthem now how does knight fits into all of this where they've just launched a new advertising campaign to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their just do it slogan captain it is that one of the stars appearing now he says here believe in something the slogan goes even if it means sacrificing everything a very pointed statement because not one team offered cap and take a contract to play last season this is a highly divisive issue many people supported kappa nick and the other players who had to choose to have taken many critics though accuse them of being unpatriotic
4:44 pm
