and for mr. sterncome in china there's a big issue of intellectual property rights, the major challenge enforcing it. the nba has of course a major interest in making sure that issue is addressed seriously. i wonder if you could help us understand how the nba has treated that issue. thank you. >> go first, yao. [laughter] >> i think it's a very good question. as soon as you say jason collier, assuming sport, basketball game or and sport team is just like platform right there. a platform you can put everything on their to measure and measure not only by vertical -- i mean. >> the vertical and horizontal. >> and also measure by the time. so i think this platform -- also can learn by public and let them going to judge and let them to help us to improve the entire community. >> we've come a long way. i think one of my early trips to china i saw someone walking down the street with a bulls uniform on, and when you look at the back of the shirt it had the san jose sharks from the national -- i knew it wasn't

over as nba commissioner less than three months ago from david stern, adam silver threw the book at l-a clippers owner donald sterling. "mr. sterling may not attend any nbva games, be present at any clippers facility or participate in any decisions relating to the team." players were proud that silver said he'll urge the nba's other owners, to force sterling to sell the clippers three quarters of the owners must agree to it. "we want immediate action. we want a timetable for when this vote will happen." the clippers' website immediately showed only the phrase "we are one" after the commissioner's news conference. according to the commissioner, sterling confirmed the voice on the recordings was his, condeming his girlfriend, vivian stiviano from associating with african-americans including former nba superstar, earvin "magic" johnson. while clippers players turned their jerseys inside out in protest, sponsors, kia motors, carmax and state farm insurance bailed. kevin johnson spoke on behalf of nba players. "i hope every bigot who sees this realizes that if mr. sterling can fall, so can you." "he's got to get out. sell for

mr. sterling's views. >>> a washington post writer tweeted it took adam silver 27 days to do what david stern never man wrathed to do, punish donald sterling. he started in 1992 serving as everything from deputy commissioner to david stern to rez of the nba's entertainment division >> now, warriors owner says there no room for racism in our world, period. >> apologize for his words and apologize to magic johnson. to the black community. to nba. and commit some of the profit he makes from the sale of the team to educating people and fighting this awful racism that was exhibited p the comments. >> well, as you can tell there are powerful and pointed things said today. if you want to watch the news conference with nba commissioner in it's entirety we have posted it on our web site. abc7 news.com. >> college women in berkeley spoke up about sexual assaults this year and now, white house is getting involved. administration today announced new guidelines, education outreach and celebrity-packed public service announcement. >> we have a big problem. we need your help. >> it's happening to our sisters, daughters, wive

what david stern's righthand man, regarded as a brilliant legal mind i'm sure mr. silver researched extent of the pours i think people were concerned over the weekend that nba like a lot of corporate giants will try to sweep it under the rug. silver confronted this head on. it's swift action like we haven't seen before. >> a powerful move. what happens now. can sterling be forced to sell the team? >> you know he's going to fight it tooth and nail. there is no clause in the nba bilaws that says a chigser can force an owner owe sell a team but there is a process called termination allowing for a team to be dissolved, i'm guessing that is going to be the course the nba chooses then, the team could be reborn with a new owner, presumably sterling would be paid off and clippers might be worth $1 billion. however, donald sterling is going to fight this. he's an attorney, i'm sure he's going to go to court. nba bilaws say the disputes are supposed to be settled by arbitration. >> you know he'll fight. >> yes. going to try. >> we'll have more on the announcement just a litt

. >> you mentioned commissioner stern, let me ask both of you 'sat happens, mr. sterling this,d comments, according to all reports come as part of a pattern, this is something that people saying was not just something that was blurted out, they are saying this is part of the man's makeup going back 20 or 30 years. why was he allowed to be an owner of an nba franchise. >> you have to go to the court and that established way back in 1993. so, with that dismiss presence, very good. clearly, they were interested in purchasing the team sports and they were not that many. mr. sterling stepped in. the core of that relationship was one of trust and that trust clearly has been damaged tremendously. you answered that because it is something i'm looking at from adam silver when he speaks today. asked that.you there are race-based sexual harassment lawsuits, housing lawsuits. when this broke, a lot of people around the nba and outside said they were not particularly surprised. i'm curious to hear adam silver address the fact that this is a guy who had a reputation for this w

mr. obama called a direct threat to the united states as he issued a stern warning against a the north korean dictator. >> we need to look at additional ways to apply pressure under further sections -- perception. >> this has been marked with questions of the president backs up tough talk of the world stage he was careful to stress there was no magic bullet to apply to korea as the president warns of potentially bigger sanctions that targets a specific sectors of russia's economy like energy. >> we need to lay the groundwork so if and when a uc be even greater escalation or these sanctions would have larger consequences civic republicans say that sounds echo a broken record to vladimir putin. >> almost two months since the president has said he will pay up price. it is all talking and no action spirit the situation on the ground has been unravelingith officials vowing to block militants. >> the world has not yet forgotten but it is already keen to start a third world war. he was searching a conference call with european leaders but the president and secretary of state john carey still talked

three months on the job as the nba commissioner after david stern was a longstanding commissioner, huge, huge responsibility and decision for mr. silver today, right? >> it's a big responsibility and it's going to go a long way toward his commissionership. the eyes of the world are watching adam. adam's prepared for a long time for this job as a deputy commissioner to david stern. he's a brilliant man. and he's had the proper tutoring and upbringing in this job. he's worked with all the owners, all the players, everybody who deals with adam comes away feeling very good about their dealings with the nba and with him as a person. he's got a big responsibility here. he will take the necessary action, i'm told, by several league owners who i have spoken to just prior to this announcement that this is going to be a very harsh penalty. and they think that adam has done his diligence. that he's given him due process and that he will come up with the proper decision for the league. >> it's very interesting because it's only been four to five days since this incident came to light and the nba acting very swiftly on this with a press co

sterns here as well. we welcome all of you here worldwide. mr.has our top headlines that >> the real estate market is getting off to a slow start for the spring selling season. "the wall street journal" said marta sales in san diego, vegas, and phoenix were up -- down from a year ago. in south korea, hundreds of people may be missing after a ferry boat sank. this is frightening. somewhere between 160 and 370 were rescued. people are known dead. korean media reports of the ships sailed into rocks as the weather got very foggy. a basketball star's complaint that he went to bed number -- hungry may have led to the ncaa to approve unlimited meals for all university athletes. connecticutsity of won the championship, the player claims he did not have enough money to eat at times. obviously they have taking care of that. those are your top headlines. you played hockey where? >> unlimited meals? unlimited? what's amazing. -- >> amazing. is the government going to tax that as income? >> only you would come up with a statement like that. milks, sevencolate

stern. looked like a solid quarter for mr. nadella's first in charge.ve for it? >> i think obviously he has -- takes some credit for it. i think clearly the execution point that he talked about is under his tutelage and i think really as we talk about the transition in his words going forward is going to be the key for the stock. obviously estimates were guided down slightly for the next quarter, the june quarter, which is their fiscal fourth quarter. and that obviously was usually the strongest seasonal quarter for the company. so they're clearly in a transition mode and it's going to take a little bit of while before they can actually turn estimates going forward higher. >> yeah. when you look at the financials, the numbers behind some of these, i mean they were impressive and the cloud is really the story here. i mean we've seen so many false starts from microsoft, robert, lately when it comes to consum r r facing technology. is the cloud the winning ticket into the cloud will help them as you transition from let's say an ipad with office products su

mean and really ugly david stern has been to clipper employees and now we see damaging to the game of basketball. >> you know, the only thing -- this isn't the first time mrd of racist behavior. peter, you wrote a 2009 profile of sterling and various discrimination suits he faced over the last decade. yet the nba was silent. so suddenly it seems a little bit hypocritical to me. peter, go ahead. >> there are a few legitimate reasons. there's a new commissioner in town. he's not operating under the same principles that david stern did. the social media intensifies the public demand for official response to be quick and strong. i think that in an unusual way there's this alliance of people who are outraged by the most recent comments. you have lebron james and michael jordan and magic johnson. not only demand but you have the backing to do something. let's face the facts. donald sterling's previous victims were mostly poor, black and hispanic tenants in his housing units. i'm not sure that either they or the women who sued donald sterling for sexual harassment, those were the people he was in court with, i'm not sure the offenses to them registered the way t
