in. the nuclear age is sixty years old china cast down and as far as fees is concerned soon to the last atomic bomb survivors will be gone . perhaps in less than twenty a city yes so that at it's i would like to pass on my grandmother still rated it to the younger generations or focus tonight my dream is to not let it die. how great is the threat of nuclear war today. nuclear weapons have become the currency of power. how do you explain that the five permanent members of the security council they are the ones who have the nuclear weapons. and they are the five most powerful states in the world. united states russia britain france china. so all india looks at just says that they're going to get into

a nuclear club and pakistan israel is in there this constitutes a volcano of nuclear weapons likely locked at any time. we thought the threat had disappeared but in iran. during the cold war we were a war each about the mutually assured destruction so-called not between russia and states that fear is gone however we are not all to the danger zones at all there are still some twenty seven thousand nuclear warheads of which twelve thousand generate are operative active. which one forgets hiroshima and that is that. there is a new restaurant that democracies with nuclear weapons are five. well. the weapons that were used as far as i go were mark hughes fired their ship. what

is the legacy of that weapon what does it hold in store for us. next sunday he was two years old when she was exposed to the bone when she was twelve she developed leukemia and she hoped that if she made one thousand paper cranes she would be killed. here i'm a soldier after her death scream became a disability piece. i thought the cold war was over and the nuclear threat a thing of the past it's not a nightmare is alive and well with the help of the military strategies of the nuclear powers are the one hundred forty three thousand dead if he does she need to

be slowly remembered as the triumph of the u.s. over japan. from hiroshima to the pacific islands where nuclear testing took place the decisions made by american strategists are taking a heavy toll on another generation mikey is a third generation he. her grandmother survived the radiation but he doesn't want the bomb to ever be used again. but i also discovered how alone much less because even here people don't care enough about this old weapon other than to be the highlight of the museum. talking to my friends about my activism. and they don't care about such serious matters. only the people who was then understand what happened under the mushroom cloud today it's not told it's very difficult in these peaceful time to make young people understand how tragic it was maggie is the youngest died at the heat of peace

memorial museum but she goes further than providing information her goal is to provoke fear and dread. that children has never experienced an atomic bomb that's why i use simple language while trying to make an impact on of them it's amazing but at. least let's look over here above that turnbull see the airplane. in that airplane when they were carrying the bomb into that airplane. is about do you know what time it was. unable to feel. it was eight hundred fifteen.

i was in my house in front of the altar i had been used paper spread out and was reading it why i had just opened it and i filled the bluish white light coming in from the garden to run the whole thing going and find it. it was complete darkness and i couldn't move i was bowing to under the house eventually i managed to get out by walking barefoot across a wooden board people were completely blackened and one burnt human others were torn apart or on one of them women were walking naked in the streets covering themselves with their hands ashamed.

that was the ball the time when everybody finished breakfast the heat was so intense that flash mile to it and blackened just like when you burn toast it was like that. but it goes into one of the disfigured corpses were naked except for the watches as you do . as it were the most of this was all that was left to identify the bodies my skin rotted and to pass. on to destructed many to me could tea from herbs i drank his tea every day for the rest of the year since we didn't have medicine and what we had to use natural cures you know these are all children of us they were all bad food. these beliefs mother was trying to help but she was also a victim they didn't really have any medication so they used things like tamper or

oil to try to hew people go to deal with it and it was a living hell of a leg hell on earth then. that's great that you brought your children here if you didn't know this is not a fun place to be but thank you thank you very much it's good when you see some blackened lunch boxes in another building please take your time to look at them. lloyd i can remember well it is freely how difficult i don't want to remember. lucky's fight to convey the dreadful images runs counter to the priorities of our country actually japan looks for ways to rewrite its history re how many picture the victims and the fixed groups but. that committee says you need to. die. to vet young people who

know. so the fact is fading away. japan has pandas on you clear umbrella of the u.s. in its security policy there are no g.p.s. it's a necessary evil nuclear weapons in the society keep. your fish whole explanation of. the united states. has been introduced to this country as well that other make one means precipitate the end of the second world war and it saved a lot of people. i remember here was shame as one great exiled patient i was delighted i had been fighting the japanese for four years i was a pearl harbor on a destroyer the morning there tired but as time went on and with the knowledge that

we could have won the war with the use of that bomb iraq began to regret that hiroshima nagasaki there are good cities up to make one we were kept intact because they wanted to know exactly how the effect wants to be. why their prime we used the bomb we cut off almost all. of my in the who area. would have had to capitulate in a few mobs. three days after he lost it was not a sock it seventy five thousand. the

annual commemoration of the bombing gave matty the opportunity to meet with me from madison actually the student had just returned from the united states and i took an american history classes and restarted the use of their tommy bomb literature rocks art what about them was it if i and i were to have aspects of dropping atomic bombs in japan let's think about underscores what they saw or thought i was quite shocked by that question i realize that ended tell people about the consequences of that told me why am i going out body. you my grandmother never told me anything i only heard the whole story quite recently i have to read and to my second year of university. i thought this could be the only time i hear it but i remember it made me very happy because well you know along with her. didn't have

to strongly when she asked it was just the two of us i was always around her as i grew up but i discovered that she or was a grandmother i didn't know. it didn't with them with my grandma that hasn't always leave her with a feeling of guilt. but she has never shown any anger looking towards the united states. when you and bill of other people destroy the. a further economic blow was the fire it was such a devastating experience. and destroys the will of the people. he said before i became a volunteering bill guy i had to the speak in a study group and all the experiences.

ha ha got my mother never talked about because she held gail to us that she survived how mother and sister were crying for help. and yes at the time we were all looking for her. she tried to fix her mother tonight how moderate couldn't it is and wanted to blot all over her but is it. my mistake i was at school playing marbles when suddenly because dawn flashed mandy and however i didn't see the flash of light on one of the farmhouses was burning and i was very scared to see that you that's where my memory of the horrors stops and you play nine days.

what the snow my mother couldn't express herself normally of us so my father was here or in a psychiatric hospital i couldn't see her very own the doctors didn't link her condition to their to tell me. what they thought my mother was and that my mother had become insane. that she was put away in a place like a praise and see her there laziness so. yes if the bomb was the only thing in your mind you will go insane. eat up when i get a bit more i don't know to rush to talk about it but i must. say that cannot speak . it must mean oh my daughter is a french woman. evolving on my daughter's child.

kitty the second child she got wonderful. with what it was but she was born with the six fingers. in it was this my fault. that i was exposed to the bone and. some of it you have to see when i saw my grandchild covered in blood in his hands for the first time. this was so with a flash of the atomic bomb. of us he won't hold my oldest son had a problem with evolve in the hearts and so that. some of they had surgery and they found out that because it was genetic i blame myself if this is in the now more than a. balcony for i was not afraid of what i told the facts of the moment to lead from one generation to

the next one of the money. when the young people are worried they can turn to the radiation effects research foundation established by american scientists after the bombs dropped the institute gathers statistical studies on the victims that he and that the city. the general on my great town just the books. what donna put on two of her children died of cancer here is there a link that. we have been doing research based on statistical models since one thousand forty eight but we have not found any link to it so we decided to study the d.n.a. of his night. stand generations. until now i hadn't really lena freight but i've heard that my generation has more problems than the second generation of farms that i know. i

know. how the disease is caused by the genetic mutations are such a tragedy. what are you sure you want to know. we also have newer information it's not really well understood a lot of the experimental what are called trans genetic type of effects that could not necessarily appear in the children of people exposed to radiation but may even skip generations. until the results of the american japanese foundation's d.n.a. studies are known the younger generation is left wondering and given the social stigma attached to the radiation this doubt protects much and all the children of the. victims.

my husband was upset and that he's daughter was label to he baku share in the press . this branded him to mean that when he proposed to me that i was he really bothered him. i was worried about what would happen to our children. it was considered a transmittable disease so i didn't know what would happen but. i thought well what if it happens it happens. my love was stronger than my fear you know what i still worry that my wife and daughter will be affected by the bomb. my mother in law feels responsible and she suffers the most when the discussed. i was born and raised in hiroshima outsiders always emphasize that i am from

hiroshima hiroshima hiroshima i don't enjoy that very much. does not me being from hiroshima do i feel you motivated to make a contribution. and so since university as learned a lot about conflicts in the world. to the really always the children. this is in general. the nuclear powers are perfectly aware that their bombs are ten twenty one hundred. but with an down cynicism the military are searching for more flexible uses. there are discussions about the development of nuclear weapons of smaller caliber or a capacity to penetrate deeper. american plans to develop what we call bunker buster blends that we say will not spread radioactivity actually in such weapons

only get a short distance under the earth which stir up more radioactive debris and again in the case of hiroshima that type of radioactive fallout was limited because it was an air burst weapon it's not the same as how they all of your target your building materials themselves contaminated by the force of the explosion. now we've moved in the second nuclear age. we have moved into an era when nuclear weapons are threatened for war fighting purposes if you simply have weapons that are stretched huge bombs well that's more for the town but if you have smaller weapons there might be a temptation to use them to smoke out taliban's or what have you. the super powers plan their next nuclear armageddon the families of people might land. there is a surreal feeling. symbols and words are all that the japanese passports have to confront the threat and these are loaded with the memory of having once been the

bad guys and young people in japan except the mother and i sadly. we should. forget about. all what. we know. how to get. something done. on treats he doesn't mean we should be quiet yet. that's why we can't. be quiet and to announce. to the higher on thousand japanese politicians nation two years ago that perhaps it's time for japan to consider the possibility of our being the police. and. japan has

promised rocket technology we have abundant put pony up abundant plutonium. it's hard to tell the public will react when the government decides to go nuclear. my supposition this if. south korea and north korea get the united and their group. nuclear weapons overnight japanese public opinion will change. because nuclear deterrence is a fact that it but it saddens me to think that we have found no other way to live

in peace is going on aim for japan acquires this bomb this means that the lesson of your shima and nagasaki has been lost and second mouthful the twenty first century will be the center of china this prediction scares many japanese and makes them think that it's stronger with the united states no he does she my is not an end it's a scream heralding a new chapter in human history the nuclear age stimulated by the scope of the devastation the united states launches its pursuit of the absolute weapon. it's like the pacific ocean for its laborde tory but this laboratory is inhabited. imagine if. it was done. and i. went and job. that is one point six equivalent out there she in my shot every day for twelve years i would they still want that. they

they just sit. but they have the fight. evelyn lives in honolulu where she attends college like other inhabitants of the marshall islands an archipelago lost in the middle of the civic ocean she lives in exile force away by the fallout of nuclear testing fifty years later her island is still contaminated and the united states are not really taking full responsibility of what they did. there's a saying all. we're going to give you one would think and it just seemed fair to me. they rob them off the island and the island the marshal and this . is where you are what does intend to be.

my job is to. finish school and my people. the economy every country depends on american aid and the balance dialog between the islanders and the almighty america tears the young woman apart how do you obtain justice from the united states when you are marshallese maybe with the memory the only weapon evelyn inherited the reason that americans are giving us money because of the survivors i was just to go and make sure that their story was and they still remember it so one that suffer most from the bomb. without a conference on you. the title was think a set of the bomb i did a presentation. and they were all shot because they they were like. want. me in there was there was a bomb in the washington. and even bigger than the one in the regime. and i'm like yeah like where is the marsh i.

need to learn the martial allen was. to know why i just didn't know. it didn't make sense so i had to tell them no. actually being living there and i'm one of them from their. culture is that so much i can show for you if you are right this is the model there's taliban bad guys republican party to make itself felt in washington how will this impact us foreign policy in the ongoing war in afghanistan.

the news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images cold

world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. the for. his top stories are free to pale as some might sound bites and also discuss trying to sell ten electoral tracks and launched a deadly incident on. the line in lives of delays a leg monitor announcing he says his eccentric experiment is so low just how society uses its rate of. course moving and they stop the message from new york cincinnati hello patel's americans to stop complaining about others and look instead about other mistakes homestead or in some recently elected new congressman

let's call it a trade war with china. another red stars in georgia as the country is about to introduce a ban on soviet symbols position says it's an ill timed pointless upturn and survive history about the government should focus instead on the real problems. that's the headlines up next it's a close talk with people up. the story. listen to. play. a low in welcome to cross talk i'm hearing about a new and invigorated republican party will soon make itself felt in washington how will this impact u.s. foreign policy in the ongoing war in afghanistan it could go either.
