No NFL rule change over anthem protests

The US American Football association, the NFL, has left its policy
unchanged and will not demand that players stand during the national
anthem.

It follows months of social protests with players kneeling during the
anthem - a move that US President Donald Trump says disrespects the
country.

The three and a half hour meeting between owners and players in New
York was said to be "productive", even though no ultimatum or rule
change came from it, as US correspondent Nick Harper reports.
