in. the nuclear age is sixty years old. and as far as visa is concerned soon to the last atomic bomb survivors will begun. perhaps in less than twenty a city yes said that about it and i would like to pass on my grandmother still raise 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 current your power. how do you explain that the five permanent members of the security council they're the ones who have the nuclear weapons. over the five most powerful states in the world. united states russia britain france china. so all india look suggests is that they're going to

get into a nuclear club and pakistan israel's in their zeal this constitutes a volcano of nuclear weapons i could erupt at any time. we thought the threat had disappeared but in iran. during the cold war we were 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. there's a new restaurant that democracies with nuclear weapons are five. well. weapons are for us as far as our go where 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 like a man 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. 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 he wants because even here people don't care enough about this old weapon other than to be the highlight of a new c.n.n. . talking to my friends about my activism. and they don't care about such serious matters sort of thing i like. only the people who then understand what happened under the mushroom cloud today it is very difficult in these peaceful time to make young people understand how tragic it was muggy as the youngest died at the heat oshima peace memorial museum but she goes

further than providing information her goal is to provoke fear and dread. that children have never experienced an atomic bomb that's why i use simple language well trying to make an impact on of them it's amazing but it will. please let's look over here above that turnbull see the airplane. in that airplane when they were carrying the bomb into that airplane oh. do you know what time it was. unable to feel. the need. it was eight fifteen.

i was in my house in front of the altar i had been used paper spread out and was reading it line i had just opened it and i filled the bluish white light coming in from the garden you want a hole in the boy and pull on it. it was complete darkness and i couldn't move i was burry down under the house eventually i managed to get out by walking barefoot across a wooden board people were completely blackened and one burnt key miners were torn apart or on one of them women were walking naked in the streets covering themselves or 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 was it definitely disfigured corpses were naked except for the watches as you do. as it is 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 accountable we had to use natural cures you know these are all children 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 use things like tamper or

oil to try to hew people go to deal with it and it was a living hell of like hell on earth and they. were that's great that you brought your children here and you couldn't this is not a fun place to be but thank you thank you very much good morning to you see some black and lunch boxes in another building please take your time to look at them. to member well it is freely 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 really how many picture the victims the fixed groups but. that can make you say to. die. to vet people who know.

so the fact is fading away. japan has pandas on you clear umbrella of the u.s. and its security policy there are no g.p.s. it's a necessary evil nuclear weapons in the society you. feel the shoulder explanation of not. even the states. has been introduced to this country as well that the other make one means precipitated 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 bad tired but as time went on and with the knowledge that

we could have won the war with the use of that bomb i was in began to regret that hiroshima nagasaki their power get cities up to make one they were kept intact because they wanted to know exactly how the effect wants to be. why their prime we used the bomb we. almost always. had my own bo who area. would have had to capitulate in a few months. three days after he tossed it was not a sock it seventy five thousand. the

annual commemoration of the bombing gave much to the opportunity to meet with for me from that disciple 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 a tiff and negative aspects of dropping atomic bombs in japan and let's think about and discuss these or what i was quite shocked by that question whether i realize it then ended tell people about the consequences of that told me why am i going out but if. you my grandmother never told me anything i only heard the whole story quite recently or 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. for years old 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 syria was a grandmother i didn't know. it didn't we didn't want my grandma has always lead to with a feeling of guilt. but she has never shown any anger looking towards the united states. when you can feel of a need for destroy the. a further economic goal was the fire it was such a devastating experience. and destroys the will of the people. he said before i became a volunteer to be a guy i had to the speakon a study group and all the experiences.

ha ha ha my mother never talked about it because just tell the tale 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 fit her mother tonight how moderate couldn't it is and blot all over her but it. killed my mistake i was at school playing marbles when suddenly dawn flashed man and however i didn't see the flash of light 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.

times what the snow my mother couldn't express herself normally 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 there told me. they thought my mother was dead my mother had become insane. that she was put away in a place like a brazen sea has their laziness so told us you know. 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 my daughter is a french woman. we know my daughter's child.

get it at the second child she got wonderful. with it but what 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 is still the flash of the atomic bomb. of us he won't. my oldest son had a problem with evolve in the hearts and over months and 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. about can you say for i was not afraid of what i told the facts of the would 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 drop the institute gathers statistical studies on the victims of heroes and that the psyche of. the general on my great talent is here 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 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 i don't 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 thoughts effects that would 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 his daughter was label to he baku share in the press at this branded him to meet 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 a. my love was stronger than my fear you know what i still worry about my wife and daughter will be affected by the bomb that. my mother in law feels responsible and she suffers the most when. 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 know to be to to make a contribution. that is a university a learned a lot about conflicts in the world. to the really easy to always the children. this is the law 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 the bunker buster of letdowns 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 detail 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 if you see much of a sucky. we should. feel good about. what. we know. how to get. something done. on treats them doesn't mean we should be quiet yet. that's why we kept. 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 as

a biologist rocket technology that we have abundant put pony in a bundle. 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 are at the united and they were nuclear weapons overnight japanese public opinion will change. because nuclear deterrence is a fact that good about it saddens me to think that we have found no other way to

live in peace is going on and the name for japan acquires this bomb this means that the lesson of your ashima and nagasaki has been lost since i came out for the twenty first century will be the center of china this prediction scares me japanese makes them think that japan has stronger with the united states now 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. its aleck's the pacific ocean for its laborde tory but this laboratory is inhabited. imagine if. it was don't you. and i. when and job a bomb that is one point six equivalent out there she my shot every day for twelve years i would they still want that. and they. just

sit. there 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 pacific 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 doesn't seem fair to them. they rob them off the island and the island the marshal and this. is where your what does intend to be.

my job is to. finish school and my people. be 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 of the only weapon evelyn inherited the reason that americans are giving us money because of us of whitefish i was just a girl and make sure that their story was and they still remember it so one that suffered more from the bomb. without a conference on you because the title was think a set of the bomb did a presentation. and they were all shot because they were like. what. mean there was there was a bomb in the marshall. 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 exceed. so i had to. actually win big moving there and i'm one of them from there. be. if. russia would be soon which brightened if you knew about sun moon from finest impressions of. these friends starts on t.v. dot com.
