a police station for not wearing a mosque authorities have now announced the arrest of 3 officers of the man's death but that hasn't stopped the protests. that we hear in support of the great uprising of the black people and of all colors for the crime against george floyd come. by the big policeman of the united states they were funny even if. this movement is not just about showing outrage at the death of african american george floyd in the us the black life metal movement has unleashed a wave of protests against racism worldwide demonstrations are continuing this weekend with protests held in east asia and large crowds expected in european cities. now u.s. president donald trump has reportedly ordered the pentagon to cut the number of u.s. troops stationed in germany by nearly

a 3rd cording to government sources cited by the wall street journal around 25000 troops would remain american forces have been stationed in germany since the end of world war 2. earlier we spoke to german lawmaker a member of the bundestag committee on foreign affairs and i asked nick he told us about the implications of cutting u.s. troops in germany overwhelming part of the american military presence in germany is not related to territorial defense with germany but is exercising the foundations for broader presence in europe africa it is a major help in the global. operations of u.s. military with particular 'd the roles don't have base in the landstuhl medical facility so 'd this is potentially weakening u.s. capabilities in the region but globally. i can only say american military men and their families that will come in germany and we have cooperated

very well a lot of those aspects but where we are i think of the it is hard to assess the specific. consequences as well as we don't know which sites which units will be affected by this is now to the other stories making news around the world. veterans of the allied forces have returned to normandy to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the d.-day landings this year's ceremony was far smaller than normal due to coronavirus restrictions the event marks the beginning of the offensive to recapture france from the nazis at the end of world war 2. troops loyal to libya's u.n. backed government are celebrating after winning the battle for the capital tripoli they've now expired now expelled the general. forces from their last remaining stronghold near the city the victory puts the government in charge of libya's west holds the country's east. years ago like alexis ohanian has register resigned from

the board at reddit in an online post he asked to fill a seat at the media company with a black candidate he vowed to use any future games on his stock in the enterprise to serve the black community honey and is married to tennis star serena williams. 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. preaches previously banned players from kneeling during the country's national anthem that practice was started by calling caprona in 2016 in protest against police brutality toward black americans but kaepernick smoove sparked a backlash from some fans and owners now for more on this story i'm joined by jonathan train from d.w. sports so jonathan what led to this apology well it was this video posted on social media a video statement by roger goodell he is the n.f.l. commissioner essentially he's in charge of the entire leak a very contrite statement expressing

a lot of regret they did find another video it was said very widely on social media we can see it here featuring many n.f.l. stars mentioning george george floyd who died in police custody of course and the other black men and women have also been killed let's just listen in to this video for events. for us. not the silence. this is what we the players would like to hear. the national game or any systematic oppression. so it seems goodell has clearly heard that message he's read the mood and now he's encouraging other players to speak out we the national football league then racism in the systematic oppression of black people. we the national football league image we were wrong for not listening to n.f.l. players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protests we have the

national football league belief back lives matt. to be honest i couldn't imagine the last year is this a really significant really significant reversal in policy really because as you mentioned protester previously the n.f.l. had said look if you don't want to stand during the anthem you need to stay in the locker room otherwise you could face disciplinary action and we all know about the case of colin kaepernick and while he was supported by some other players who also took in the with him he was also criticized by fans and. the basic disrespecting the u.s. flag the the anthem the army things like that now and some people obviously recognize that the cabinet hasn't played since he made that process and 2016 he in fact says that the clue did against him to stop him being signed by any other club now he was not mentioned by name in that video

a lot of people on social media saying him an apology. in september will play will he get signed by a team and will stay true to his word that something will have to keep an eye on some people want to direct apology to caprona what other kind of reactions of well interestingly a white bri he apologized the other day off to criticizing the protest that and then a rebuke from u.s. president donald trump who said basically that he shouldn't have taken back what he said. message for the protests basically saying we should be standing up straight and tool ideally with a salute or a hand on there are other things you can protest the great american flag needing now obviously this protest movement has gone beyond the united states now so it's been taken up by other sports we've seen for example in the league last weekend. in the signs of solidarity from jade and sanchez the pursuit dortmund's play on the

german football association the death players won't be punished if they want to protest on the field they will keep an eye what they do in today's games. thanks for the. now on the bonus thing on friday boris you mention gladbach travel to freiburg to kick off the weekend's action here's a look at that game. both coaches focused on europe were all smiles when they greeted each other before kickoff marco rose england by had reason to be optimistic the falls were looking for their 3rd straight win over freiburg lot of us to run the falls leading score had a chance to get on the scoreboard early but to raam had little mustard on his 1st attempt the foles had another chance moments later but freiburg defense was there for the stop. after a scoreless 1st half freiburg 17 nails paid to sit and he proved to be the difference maker one minute later pietersen was there to finish off freiburg free
