lived here or even if they were born here their appearance still makes them a target for racial abuse we spoke to some of those about their experiences of everyday racism here in germany. and as it looks on the top of a mind call for one time i was shopping and an old lady pushed past me and then said uncle would not have allowed you to be here. it's the he and he gave as if you want to kill me you down foreigner go back to your own country what are you doing here every day racism strikes you profiling is a clear part of my life just like going to the toilet it is part of my life. for people who for experiences they have either lived here in germany for years born here parents to mohamadi a sales assistant has been he since she was 6 years old a woman in a supermarket car park accused her of trying to run her over. and i've never experienced and you cannot watch in my life that someone comes up to me and say you

want to kill me and then calls me a damned foreigner. salaam came to germany 5 years ago was a syrian refugee a he works as a camera man for german television he was out with his wife and son when a man made racist remarks about his family. salaam up he recorded the incident on his phone and then fought back. let's move on what do you want what are you trying to say that. the attackers friends tried to stop him and pull him away but a short time like he returned and beat salaam up do so badly that he had to go to hospital the video was used in the investigation into the attack. the police recognized him immediately they said he was in prison a few months ago because of another problem we pressed charges and now justice has been done. this is. a man with a more cool young person is a film i can do musician he says racial profiling which means the police stop him

because of his appearance is a deadly problem. that makes you see how deep rooted racism is a black man somehow looks threatening a chaos stop him you see. these are not exceptional cases. works for a group called each one teach one the victims of racism they examine black people's experiences and offer anti discrimination counseling. by some mention we white people in germany may say racism is no problem but for black people it is part of at daily lives either because we encounter structural racism or because we discriminated against on the straight north of color song is no longer willing to accept the situation he's organized an anti-racism demonstration in cologne. leached being off this was not that if you don't do anything about racism if you

just ignore it then you are tolerating it and at the same time promoting it or begging for it. and that is what i wish people to understand. the demonstration in cologne will be one of many taking place in germany this way can and now to other stories making news around the world u.s. president trump has reportedly ordered the pentagon to cut the number of u.s. troops stationed in germany by nearly a 3rd government sources cited by the wall street journal say around 25000 would remain american forces have been stationed in germany since the end of world war 2 . veterans of the allied forces have returned to normandy to commemorate the $76.00 anniversary of the d.-day landings this year's ceremony was far smaller than normal due to coronavirus restrictions event marks the beginning of the offensive to recapture france from the nazis at the end of world war 2.

brazil's president john you're both so not as threaten to pull his country out of the world health organization unless it stops being a quote partisan political organization wilson are would follow the steps taken by president donald trump who has attacked the w.h.o. for its coronavirus response. years ago like alexis ohanian has resigned from the board at reddit in an online post he asked to fill his seat at the media company with a black candidate valid to use any future gains on his stock in the enterprise to serve the black community honey and is married to tennis star serena williams. now the head of america's national football league the n.f.l. has admitted the league was wrong for not allowing on field protests against racial injustice the n.f.l. previously banned players from kneeling during the country's national anthem that practice was started by calling kaplan

a can 2016 in protest at police brutality against black americans but kapper next moves part of backlash from fans and owners. now for more on the story i'm joined by jonathan crane from sports so jonathan what led to this tremendous apology well it was social media video posted by. a statement from him he is the n.f.l. commissioner he's basically burst from support for the entire league really contrite statement expressing a lot of regret but it followed another video that was shared widely on social media featuring at several n.f.l. stars we can see here patching more homes are dell back to junior and they were mentioning george floyd who obviously died in police custody enlisting other black men and women that have also been killed let's just listen in to this video for a bit. it's. not the silence.

this is what we the players would like to hear you speak we the national. dimmers and systematic oppression of my people. we know the national football team is wrong it's out there are players from peacefully protesting and that of all. black lives that night. seems that we don't have that somebody right now but maybe you can tell me how significant the u.-turn is when it's a very significant reversal in policy because as you mentioned protests were previously banned in fact the leak had said if any player was going to refuse to stand and they should stay in the locker room otherwise they would face disciplinary action i don't know about the situation with their current captain and while he was supported by some players who also took a knee with him it was roundly criticized by fans and some fans and owners and in

fact often left the san francisco 49 ers at the end of 2016 season he didn't play for another scene so a lot of people are now saying look goodell didn't mention captain it by name in his video surely he now owes an apology the n.f.l. season is set to start up again in september when he is a boiling pot ready the n.f.l. for this issue will cap and play and that will goodell stay true to his word and i know from my own social media i've seen a lot of reaction to this already will kind of things of the density well interestingly whites n.f.l. true bree apologized for having previously criticized players taking any but that ended a bit of a rebuke from donald trump the u.s. president on twitter saying you have taken back his comments trump also more broadly criticized players for taking in the let's see what he said he said we should be standing up straight and tall ideally with a salute or a hand on how there are other things you can protest but not so great american flag

no needing now clearly this movement has gone beyond the united states it's been taken up by other sports and we saw that in germany has been is legal last weekend several play is noticeably around from glad backdated in san show from birth to dortmund so desolate guarantee for the protests the german football association the d.f.t. says players when they punished if they take a stand so i will have to see what happens later in today's matches and when the red there are more processed so that movement coming to germany also thanks for that jonathan crane did of these sports. now let's be back with more news at the top of the hour but 1st we leave you with these images of a so-called strawberry moon captured over london the moon in june coincides with strawberry season and this year it's also a penumbral lunar eclipse let's take a look.
