ANDERSON: This week, we've been tracking Manchester's mayor going up against the British government and losing. But not so for Manchester United player Marcus Rashford. He is down but not out, dodging the government entirely to help feed kids in schools and promoting private companies like this cab company, who are willing to help feed them for free. Fair play to him on that. Christina Macfarlane is in the house for you. For those viewers who don't know the background to this story, just explain, if you will, Christina.</s>CHRISTINA MACFARLANE, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: I mean, this has been a long campaign for Marcus Rashford, hasn't it, Becky. We've seen him in the last three months pushing for food for underprivileged children in the U.K. I can tell you we've been watching his Twitter feed all morning and it's topping about 100 businesses now across the U.K. pledging their support to provide free meals during the school holidays. It's remarkable, Becky, that this young footballer just 22 has almost singlehandedly here started a movement and done what no politician in the U.K. has been able to do and he's done it with poise, dignity, a laser focus whilst being able to shine on the pitch for Manchester United. It is an incredible story and is still unfolding, this young player is quite exceptional.</s>ANDERSON: What a -- this is sort of a humanitarian we want to do more stories on, right? I know he wouldn't call himself a humanitarian, he's, you know, he would probably call himself just a really good lad and that is exactly what he is and an exceptional footballer to boot as well. I know you have a lot more on that coming up. We will be watching. We are going to take a short break. "WORLD SPORT" is up after that break. I will be back at the top of the hour for you with the second hour of CONNECT THE WORLD. Stay with us.
