the houston rockets famously had the arming on theirteam houston rockets famously had the arming on their team for a decade, the nba itself has invested heavily and is one of the leading foreign sports organisations in china. they clearly have identified the commercial viability and future for them in china. having said that, their business in china is worth a couple of billion dollars in the usa are worth in revenue a year. the teams themselves are worth close to $60 billion. so there is this commercial value question... in a sentence and, sorry to interrupt, we‘re running out of time. is it all about the money then? absolutely not. i think each organisation is to question its values and the extent to which it is willing to optimise its values in order to do business in china. and grab it is not all about money. james robinson speaking earlier to cattle. —— kasia madera. you‘re watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: turkish forces on the move — heading towards the border with syria, one day after president trump ordered the withdrawal of us troops from the

it comes after a backlash in china against houston rockets manager, daryl morey, who tweeted an image supporting pro—democracy protests in hong kong. although mr moary later said he didn't mean to cause offence, chinese state media anounced it would block the broadcast of two nba basketball preseason games. james robinson is a senior director with the global crisis communications firm apco worldwide. i asked him how he would have advised the nba to respond? i mean i think the nba and the houston rockets, specifically, find themselves in a really difficult position. we're working with clients all the time as they navigate the changing demands and expectations in china. 0n the one hand, they're having to consider what their values are. and on the other hand they're having to consider the commercial value of the china market. so i think it starts with a list of questions, the extent to which the nba and specifically the houston rockets are willing to forgo their china business. ithink, then, secondly, there is a list of protocols that the nba and their members should go through that ca

the washington nationals are taking game one of baseball's world series against the houston astros despite falling behind early on a 20 year old played a starring role in helping washington with what was their 1st ever world series game pizza summit reports. to g. scenes with very different histories the nationals looking for their 1st ever world series title i think the astros on home soil in houston when one so-so was struck out by garrett cole he had no idea what impact he was still to have on this game. easton were to nothing up early on and it looked like a great start for the team aiming for a 2nd championship in 3 seasons jelly fish that's solo home run from ryan zimmerman brought the nationals back into the game and then it was soto's turn to shine 1st the 20 year old hit this home run to little schools at minute maid park in houston and then he hit a 2 run double as the nationals opened up an unassailable 52 lead not bad for a man 3 days shy of these 21st birthday and everybody was a little bit down but after the homer everybody thing they got a chance that they will hit a home or

so actually houston i could see that he was making that pitch to the united states and was also making sure that everything is hunky dory between india and the u.s. and particularly between the 2 personalities mr moore the and mr trump the so-called how the mood in houston was just the latest of 15 foreign rallies modi has headlined since coming to power in 2014 and president trump is just the latest foreign leader to stand alongside him. back in 2015 it was london david cameron and an even bigger crowd of 60000. as prime minister modi has travelled out to be a nearly $100.00 times visiting some 60 countries. whether it's new york johannesburg. to spend an inordinate amount of time on the road with communities building political ties and forging political narratives he's trying to bring everyone together you know we might be british you might be american but we're still indian and have indian heritage. for no one really is proud to say they're from india india was some sort of you know remote 3rd world country that no one really gave any importance to seeing prime minister nor they go

fox and friends cohost jillian neely joins us live from minute maid park in houston. one an exciting night at least for nationals fans. >> such an exciting night, first time in world series history the road team has won all 7 games, truly incredible. let's look at the celebrations that broke out in washington dc when the game was over. it has been 95 years since dc has won a world series, this is the first time the nationals have done it. a truly incredible experience. let's take you to the field and show you what went down with the astros getting on the board first with a home run, solo shot in the bottom of the second inning, astros test the lead until the top of the seventh-inning. that is when things exploded and in the top of the seventh-inning, a home run to left made it to-1. shortly after that in the seventh, howie kendrick put the nationals of 3-2 with a to run shot. take a look at that. here we go and then in the top of the ninth, at a meet and drive into runs of his own. this was truly a game minute by minute play until the seventh-inning. as you can imagin

we apologize we love china houston rockets n.b.a. star james harden distancing himself from the words of his team's general manager and on monday morning daryl morey tweeted his regret saying he had not intended to cause offense among the club's chinese fans and that he was merely voicing a thought based on one interpretation of one complicated event humble words that show the importance of chinese money to the n.b.a. but they came too late to prevent sponsors like the sportswear company leaning and shanghai based s.p.d. bank from cutting ties with the rockets china's state broadcaster has announced it will no longer show rocket's games and the chinese basketball association says it's ending its relationship with the club so. the houston rockets are largely responsible for china's interest in the sport which took a large stride forward when they signed a local boy missing in 2002 now the market that is worth billions to the n.b.a. last season more than half a 1000000000 chinese fans watched n.b.a. matches through the online platform

washington nationals are back at the houston astros, where they won both games on the road. but they find themselves 3—2 down and fighting to stay alive. tulsen tollett is there and it's a tight game so far. extremely tired, extremely raucous. ican extremely tired, extremely raucous. i can hardly hear you there. such has been the crowd here at the astros home stadium, it's been unbelievable the amount of noise in the stadium compared to other games during this series. they know what's on the line and it's the astros who lead to—1. all three runs, in the first innings. the pitching contest hasn't really gone the way we thought it would go. strasberg is thrown about 20 pictures less, the bullpen is warming up and their work may well be a change in the next inning or two. but the fans are really enjoying it. i love things like these huts. the astro supporters are having a great time. maybe the biggest story out of this is when your boss does something really nice for you. gary, i hope you're watching because this is a great story. what happened and why you are you here? the

but james harden, the 2018 mvp who plays for houston, did apologise to china. he said he was sorry, nba players are known every single summer to go over to china to sell their sneakers. obviously, china buys a lot ofjerseys as well, there‘s tons of ties between nike, adidas, their athletes and china. and then of course, a lot of times, you know, after — players are getting ready to wind down their careers, they can go have a second career in china and become big stars over there as well. so it‘s clear that the chinese market loves nba basketball, they love the game and i do think eventually this will get sorted out. but right now they‘re in a staring contest because the nba has stood up for their executive, daryl morey, and his freedom of speech, and china has made it very clear through the cctv and the national television network that they don‘t believe he had the right to speak on the issues that he spoke on with regard to hong kong. now, just imagine if yourjob was to explore the earth‘s final frontier. that‘s the case forjill heinerth, one of

the houston astros have not had an easy route. it looked like that against the rays up two games to one, they were pushed to the tilt and game yankees. push to the tilt and game 6. extra innings. almost went to it game 7. here they are game 7 against the nationals. as great a year and is dominating a year they've had, they too have all had to win maximally clutch games to get to this point. >> joe: a different sort of rally cap look for josh reddick. whatever works. that's into left field and soto is there for out number one. the better will be bregman who posted on his social media that earlier this afternoon he lost his grandfather, his mom's father passed away. dedicating tonight's game and what he does to his grandpa. one on, one out. bregman flied to right his first time. a.j. hinch wanted to make sure -- him carrying the bat down to first, the emotion of last night. him being apologetic for that. good stop by gomes. >> john: what bregman has been doing is owning the middle third of the plate, the part closest to him. any bal

the biggest chinese star of all time actually played for houston rockets. he was drafted by them in 2002. it is an extraordinarily popular team in china. they view the pro— hong kong trade by the houston rocket executive not only as a case of an american putting his foot into chinese business, but i think they also view it as a little bit of an act of betrayal as well because of that organisation's popularity in china. briefly, one sure sign it is likely to be sorted out is that the players kind of need china, many of them go there to play after their career. it is their pension. it has been a fascinating dynamic because they did not formally apologise to china, the executive who kicked this whole thing off did not formally apologise but the 2018 mvp who plays for houston did apologise to china. he said he was sorry, nba players are known every single summer to go to china to sell their sneakers and obviously china buys a lot of jerseys as well, many ties between the athletes and china. there are times when players are getting ready to wind down their car
