Today, National Correspondent craig melvin is here with the latest. Reporter good morning, guys. The league and the Players Association are calling the meeting itself productive, but it was another sport in the spotlight last night. O say can you see reporter the nbas regular season tipping off tuesday night. Away we go reporter but before the first shot, all eyes were on the anthem, to see how players would react. Bombs bursting in air reporter unlike the nfl, nba rules say players, coaches and trainers must stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the anthem. Lebron james and the Cleveland Cavaliers stood in locked arms. As they did in the preseason. James also made a statement with his footwear with the word equality on each of this sneakers. The defending champion Golden State Warriors squared off with the houston rockets. The rockets players, also linking arms in unity. It comes as the nfl owners and players are meeting in new york, amid their own anthem controversy. Ly brought back into the spotlight. It is very disrespectful to our country, when they take a knee during the national anthem. Reporter and whiles its a hotbutton issue on and off the field, for now no change in the nfls policy, the league not seeking any commitments from players to stop kneeling. Instead, vowing to help them focus on political activism. Their commitment to addressing these issues is really admirable. And something i think our owners looked at saying, we want to help support you. It starts with having tough conversations and moving forward. I think thats what we started today. Reporter outside the nfl meeting, demonstrators took a knee of their own to show players their support. President trump is tweeting about that meeting this morning saying, quote, the nfl has decided it will not force players to stand for the playing of our national anthem. Total disrespect for our great country. Meanwhile, an attorney for colin kaepernick, the first nfl player to kneel for the anthem, said his client was not invited to that meeting but he is open to joining future talks. This week kaepernick, who is not signed to a team, filed a grievance against the league, saying that all 32 owners have colluded to keep him out of the nfl. The story goes on. It does, craig. By the way, just mentioned the nba. Speaking of that league, there was a frightening moment in the cavs celtics game. Boston forward, gordon hayward, suffered a horrific injury just a couple of minutes into his celtics debut. We want to warn you, the video is graphic. This happened during an alleyoop attempt. He collided with lebron james and came down awkwardly, dislocating his ankle and breaking his leg. The incident silenced the crowd and the players on both teams stunned. Haywards teammates huddled together as medical team rushed to his side. Lebron james checked on hayward afterwards before he was wheeled away on a stretcher. The cleveland crowd giving a standing ovation. The injury is a big blow to the celtics. They signed hayward to a fouryear deal just this season. Forget the contract, for get everything. Thats a great player and hard to watch. Send him our best, for sure. First check of the weather, al.

I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

As for telling a player, like 67, 310pound Zach Crabtree he has to go to sleep how much was this like your dad tapping your shoulder when youre 11 years old, zach, its time to go to bed . Its kind of like that. When i was younger, my parents making me go to sleep by a certain time. But at the same time, you realize why they did that now. Why does coach gundy think his players have bought into this . This. The cell phone. The sleep data comes to the phone.

Advocating for girls education. She is embarking on a major milestone in her life. Shes going to college and releasing a Childrens Book in her spare time. At just 20 years old, Malala Yousafzai has done extraordinary things. One child, one teacher, one book. And one pen can change the world. Reporter the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the youngest ever messenger of peace. She has met with World Leaders, and has been times most influential person in the world three years in a row. Before the accolades came the hardship. At 11 years old, malala lived in pakistan, controlled by the taliban. She defied a ban, prohibiting girls attending school. Posting an anonymous blog about life in pakistan. What was it inside you that made you not stay silent . That made you want to speak out . The taliban wanted girls not to be independent. Not to be themselves. Not to achieve any life, to become a doctor, engineer or teacher. I could not accept that. I couldnt imagine a life limited to the four walls of my house and never be myself. Reporter but then, in october of 2012, a masked gunman boarded malalas school pbus an shot her in the head. The bullet narrowly missing her brain. The extremists, they found a young voice so powerful they attacked her. But they made your voice louder. They made a mistake and made it louder. Reporter after the attack, malala and her family moved to england. She wrote more, spoke out more for the plight of girls in her country. And now, hopes to reach more girls around the world with her Childrens Book about her life, malalas magic pencil. What made you decide to write a Childrens Book . I wanted to tell my story. And i had written a book. It was time to tell it to younger children. And the best way to do that was to write a picture book. Reporter in the book, a colorful collection of illustrations depicts malalas life, with the exception of one dark page, representing that darkest chapter of her life. I wanted to deliver it in a way that its not a big shock to children. It allows parents and teachers to talk to their children and discuss it themselves and to see how it was not just an attack on a person, but an attack on education. The attack was five years ago . Yes. Do you think about it every day . No. That attack happened five years ago. I never think that it has happened to me because, firstly, i dont remember the incident. Thats good in a way. And secondly, i just do not want to think back because im moving forward. What are you hoping that little kids who read this, what do you hope they will learn or take away . There is magic. And they have to find the magic. The magic is in their voice, in their words, their writings. They should dream beyond limits and believe there is magic in them. Reporter for a girl who learned she had won the Nobel Peace Prize in chemistry class, its easy to forget that malala is so young, trying to be a normal girl. At 20, a College Student at oxford university. Are you excited . Nervous . Scared . Im quite nervous because its going to be a new place to live. First time without parents. Im going to be out of my home and living in accommodation. And meeting new people. And so, i think its going to be a great opportunity. Reporter while malalas immediate goals may be passi ii exams and surviving her first year, her lifes purpose, remains the same. This should be for the education of those. Need to get to talk to her. Shes incredibly inspiring. She is going off to college and wants to be a regular girl, as well. Shes going to inspire people at oxford, as well. The Childrens Book is a favorite in our house. Its lovely and beautifully done. Its fun to see that side of her. You know . Yeah. Never seen that side of her. The book is called malalas magic pencil. Coming up next, josh brolin is here. Why hes proud to be called a hot shot in his new movie. But first, this is today on nbc. [drumming] one time, in new orleans, well, before it was even founded, a french teenager, bienville, scared away a british warship with just a story. And Great Stories kept coming. [trumpet playing] some make you move to jazz, funk and bounce. Some of our stories arent quite as straightforward. Blocked by the saints [crowd roaring] while others prove that great things can happen. Even on a monday night. Cause for three hundred years, Great Stories have started the same way. One time, in new orleans. [crowd applause] we are the generation that had the music and the moves. We are the generation that had a dream. We came together to feed the worlds children. We came together to protect them, and in this dangerous world we have to keep on saving them and protecting them, even when were gone. If we remember unicef in our will, well be the generation who left a better world for children. Visit uniceflegacy. Org. [ cheers and applause ] 8 47. Were back with oscar nominee josh brolin. His new movie only the brave is the tragic true story of an elite group of firefighters known as the Granite Mountain hotshots brolin is known as eric marsh, who gives his trainnies some advice. Youre only going to be able to see thats fuel. Think about that. Meditate on it. And think about if this job is for you. Josh, good morning. Good to see you. Great to see you. Obviously, this is poignant and timely. Were covering the wildfires out in california, over 40 people have died, including a firefighter. 5,5 structures have burned down. You shot this a long time ago. But when you see that story that were covering, how does it relate to this movie . I mean, it relates in every way. And the thing is, this movie does you know, you do a movie, hollywood and all that. And its profit and that and business. And once in a while, you do a movie that resonates deeply. And with whats going on in california right now, you start to kind of build awareness. And you get humble in watching a movie like this. You realize that these people are out there dealing with unpredictable, extremely dangerous situations, putting themselves in major pearl, to ensure the safety of the communities. I read about this. And at first, this confused me. And it made perfect sense to me. You were a volunteer fireman in arizona in your youth. In my 20s. At first, that made you leery about doing this job. I thought, why . Doing this movie. You want to make sure you get this right. You have a sensitivity you wouldnt have necessarily had before. I spent 30 years with this community. One of my best friends, instant commander, one of my chiefs back then. When i was deciding to do this movie, you meet a director. Are you going to be sensitive . Are you connected to your heart to do Something Like this . And i went to this guy and i said, do you think im the right guy . Should i do this . And he said, youre the only guy to do this. Almost like the apoint eed one. You glanced over something about the challenges these people face at home. And theyre just like the rest of us. Soup, we call your character. He loves his job. But the family doesnt love the risk he takes as part of his job that much. Thats what i love. This movie deals equally firefighting and in the extreme situations. But also the extreme situation about what a son deals with, the wife deals with. The entire family. And these families, we met, 19 of the guys have extended family and this stuff. Its an emotional subject. With this movie, you celebrate this firefighting. And that will resonate with First Responders everywhere. And members of our military, as well.
