out ineffectiveness so the reforms are all are long overdue but whether the effort will be worth the. the idea remains to be seen commentary there from victoria linnik editor in chief of slow magazine. it's been a day of remembrance in japan for the victims of the deadliest bomb blast in human history the american atomic weapon dropped on hiroshima sixty five years ago during the second world war claimed the lives of up to one hundred forty thousand people for the first time ever washington sent an official to the annual ceremony in the city as artie's john thomas reports a ground zero there is still not free from fallout. but here she mouthpiece memorial ceremony was a significant and important event with thousands in attendance including foreign and international dignitaries from japan there was a presentation of a register of the names of the people who passed away when the bomb exploded but

remembered. the u.s. and japanese governments acknowledged black rain as a health risk and set up an official area where they believe the phenomenon had occurred but people living around here ashima say the designated section was far too small and that the government didn't do enough to protect the entire population that's now groups of survivors like the black rain association are gathering to make their voices heard. our members. suffer from. the government. building was destroyed in the initial blast and miraculously this wall was left standing it is the left here as a memorial to that tragic event and the like this building victims in the media path of the radiation wave are easier to identify than those in the surrounding areas in an ironic twist it is another set of buildings built shortly after the bomb was dropped that is given scientists the information they need to help black

area and continue to care for the hills and support the survivors even now sixty five years on from the event the tragedy continues in hiroshima alone it is estimated that three hundred fifty thousand people were exposed to the bombing nearly one hundred fifty thousand died today the city that was once destroyed is a thriving epicenter for culture and peace those who live here fight to rid the world of nuclear weapons through their experience stories and memory sean thomas hiroshima japan. has been officially sworn in as poland's new president comes just four months after the tragic death of former leader lech kaczynski along with a delegation of polish officials at a plane crash while the inauguration should have signified a new beginning it has been marred by protests hundreds of people gathered outside the presidential palace to boycott them or move all of a memorial the wooden cross was erected in honor of the late leader along with everybody else killed in the crash demonstrators are opposed to it being
