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 dont 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 dont 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 years 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.

The head of americas 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 countrys 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 im 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 hes 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 lets 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 hes read the mood and now hes 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 couldnt 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 dont 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 hasnt 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 shouldnt 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 its been taken up by other sports weve seen for example in the league last weekend. In the signs of solidarity from jade and sanchez the pursuit dortmunds play on the German Football Association the death players wont be punished if they want to protest on the field they will keep an eye what they do in todays games.
