Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus’ “Three Zeros” speech recorded the highest viewership in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics, according to a Toshiba report published on Yahoo News Japan.

According to the report, Japanese TV viewers were listening to his speech on 47 per cent of all TV sets in Japan.

Toshiba's viewer monitoring was based on the sample size of 340,000 TV sets in Japan. This programme calculates the audience rating every second.

Nobel laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, in his Olympic Laurel acceptance speech, urged all athletes to build a world of Three Zeros.

He defined the Three Zeros as: Zero net carbon emissions, zero wealth concentration to end poverty once and for all, and zero unemployment by unleashing the power of entrepreneurs in everyone.
