the the time being visible and welcome the backdrop for the group of 7 talks could be more history late, and it's one japanese 5 minutes. definitely okesha to hopes will highlight the growing risk of nuclear comp state. he wants to supplement and nonproliferation at the top of the agenda, the urgency fuel bind bosses repeated nuclear friends in ukraine, and accelerated weapons programs in china and flow korea. but getting beyond the tool to real commitments, but we talk the world changed forever. when the 1st atomic bomb fell on her. roswell, on august 6th, 1945. some survivors who remembered the horrors of that day and the off the month have become and bass. it is for a new, clear,

free future. those guess so always welcome to visit to she co tanaka, in hiroshima and new visitors arrive almost every day. the full year old has turned to the house into a meeting place. today people have come full away from britain huddled minded. we go to kind of i survived the at the bottom in the shadows and it wasn't easy for me to talk up. but i'm going to tell you today to she was in elementary school, a 1st grader on august 6th, 1945 on that day, an american airplane of heat in the sky. this is followed by a blinding light. so she was 2 kilometers away from where the bomb did tonight that she suffered painful dance. what was the physical?

i'm not this what the titles look to the most on my way home. i so many people coming towards me from nearby. they all had severe burns. more and more people came because back then there was a stream here. mccarthy killed the lay down and died and said that there were bodies everywhere she has since told her story to people from many countries to she cried, knows people from all over the world, including in ukraine a to use of to hiroshima, the fee of a new killer attack has returned the message of nicholas. we were talking on a video call. i said sadly, there's nothing i can do. i have hardly any money, no influence. but my friend told me there is something you can do. you witness the horrors of the atomic bomb? tell the whole world about it took me to so to speak,

with the local go. let me take a look at us. what do you think? i need to have to discuss it by head of the meeting of g 7 industrial nations in hiroshima, city stage to use for him to she co. tanaka said she hopes a simple message, reach the attendees. you told us to make friends with people from all over the world. how do we do that? let's go and then what else do you need now? does the noise? well then just requires human kindness. no, it might surprise some of you, but i have become friends with a grandson of president truman who ordered the use of the a bomb. content should also visit hiroshima as should all other leaders the children's peace monument in here, a shame is peace memorial park. many of the victims were as young as plus equal to knock a was then and she says she also speaks fold them. it's a contribution to

a piece o each stage or corresponding will you be doing is at the g. 7 summit in a rush of, of the symbolism is high, but talk about japan's concrete proposals to lessen the nuclear effect. so japanese prime minister also meal because she has already want to express his desire to get all the chief of the member states to agree on becoming more transparent about their nuclear weapons stockpiles. and at the same time they, he also wants them to overall reduce the number of weapons that they possess. however, the allies, including the united states in germany, have both expressed us. uh, the issue is not super high on the agenda overall. and at the same time, germany has even said that this is large, the a main concern for japan, but the g 7 is in planning to have a separate statement or a report about this particular issue. surely this is

a concern for the entire world. i mean, china is nuclear expansion plans of massive yes, exactly. according to the pentagon, they estimate that china currently has about 4 more than $400.00 nuclear warheads. and then if they stick with the plan, the scale and also the pace of their development of the nuclear modernization program, which probably ends around 2035. they are going to have about $1500.00 nuclear warheads. that's a huge number. and even though china claimed that they are trying to become very restrained on their development, but the us has reduced down of the alarm and the whole world is watching and looking at how paging is really going to develop more complicated and sophisticated technology that will help their nuclear development step, william, where's the justification? tell me you what staging believes is the threat of where the threat is coming from,

why it needs to expand. so obviously, one of the biggest threats in aging mind is this f for that they claim left by the united states and its allies, mostly in the region. that's japan, south korea, in the philippines that are trying to contain china's growth and also china as development. and trying to influence in this part of the world which is the endo pacific. and so china feels like they have the right to develop the capability to defend their own rights in interest. but of course, in the eyes of the u. s. allies and also the united states itself, the further expansion of china as nuclear. aman is basically just going to create a more stable environment in the region, and that is not what they want to see, obviously. and so not only just the us, but also its allies in the region, are all very concerned about this potential growth that china has already carved out for itself. well, at the same time, there is a very visible fred from china,

or in spain encircling type one with warships in maneuvers. ships from the chinese coast guard has been intruding into japanese territory awards. right, exactly. over the last year, we've already seen 2 times that china has launched this. so co block case style meals react to size around tie one and both times is. busy a response to a meeting between time one, president, time one, and at the time the sitting us house speaker. and at the same time, there is an increasing frequency between the coordination of the chinese and russian naval vessels that are exercising around the waters near japan. and the japanese foreign minister has also sounded, allstate scrolling coordination between nuclear powers like paging and a mosque out. and then they think that this is going to basically just post a growing threat to the endo pacific region. so what is japan's role in this new

security order? because it practically be on the front line to any chinese invasion of tie want? that's right, exactly. we are seeing japan dramatically changing and switching it's mindset for its defense. late last year, they announced is a defense hikes that it has been on seen for decades and that essentially has change the testers, the mindset that japan has a doctors since the end of the world war 2. and at the same time, japan is really deepening its ties, not only just with the united states, it's repairing the cooperation, the relationship with south korea, another key with ally in the region. and at the same time, japan is deepening its cooperation with another key ally in the region. that's the philippines, not only just for security cooperation, but at the same time, also on defense on development, and also on a just be coordination for different kinds of logistics. take planning, so we are seeing japan really trying to present itself as

a leading power in the endo pacific. in the case that they know that the us may not be able to immediately deploy its troops into the region when a potential chinese invasion overtime. what happens and as one of the closest countries in proximity to time, once they are really preparing itself for the worst outcome and also at the same time trying to build up this region that determines uh by building up strengthening the relationship with allies in the region. the analysis they have from the go, we use east asia, corresponded william yang. thank you very much. ever you millions of origami cranes are sent to her. russian met to one of the victims. the cas spend folding. all those squares of paper is a moving message for pace. that's a lot of crates for use. they were life the temples and memorials of thrown away. now there are new ideas, a base service or tech guy shop in temple,
