9:46 am
six fingers. this is my fault. it's that i was exposed to the board. something like that when i saw my grandchild colored in blood in his hands for the first time. as i saw the flash of the atomic bomb. of a sumo. my oldest son had a problem with evolve in the hearts and tell them up so that. somebody had surgery and they found out i bet because he was genetic i blame myself if this is in the now more than. can you say for i was not afraid. don't think is that some of the bone would lead from one generation to the next one. when the young people are
9:47 am
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 an episode. of the john on my degree tonge is the box i'm on what's on the bottom two of her children died of cancer and there is there a link with her. we have been doing research based on statistical models since one thousand forty eight we have not found any later so we decided to study the d.n.a. of him right. he will. generations. until now i hadn't really been afraid but i've heard that my generation has more problems than the second generation did and over. by.
9:48 am
the diseases caused by visionary mutations are such a tragedy. what are you sure you want to know. and also have newer information it's not really well understood a lot of experimental what are called trans genetic type of folks effects that have not necessarily appear in the children of people exposed to radiation but maybe 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 attacks mark and all the children of the. victims.
9:49 am
my husband was of sound that his daughter was labeled a heap aku share in the press at this look at the response of him to meet that's when he proposed to me the fact that i was here who should really bothered him. i was worried about what would happen to our children at that time it was considered a transmittable disease so i didn't know what would happen. i thought well what if it happens it happens a. my love is stronger than my fear you know what i still worry about my wife and daughter will be affected by the involvement. my mother in law feels responsible and she suffers the most when this. you know. i was born and raised in hiroshima outsiders always emphasize that i am from here ashima sure she might hiroshima i don't enjoy that very much.
9:50 am
does not agree with being friends here ashima i can you motivated to make a contribution. i know it has been so since university i learned a lot about conflicts in the world. to the really easy times are always the children of the we model of the city limits in general and. 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. and there are discussions about the development of nuclear weapons of smaller caliber or of the capacity to penetrate deeper american plants to develop what we call weapons that we say will not spread radioactivity actually in such weapons only get a short distance on the earth which stir up more radioactive debris and again in
9:51 am
the case of hiroshima that type of radioactive fallout was limited because of this an air burst weapon that's not the same as how the all of your church your building materials themselves and around the world 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 of a deterrent but if you have smaller weapons they 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 he might land. there is a surreal feeling. symbols and words are all that the japanese passports have to confront a threat and these are loaded with the memory of having once been the bad guys and
9:52 am
young people in japan except to see my sucky. we should. all get about eight. forwards. we know. how to get. something done in countries then does it mean we should be quiet yet. that's why we keep being quiet and to announce. to the high ranking japanese politicians nation two years ago that perhaps it's time for japan to consider the possibility of having a police. honest rocket technology that we have abundant put on in
9:53 am
a bundle. it's hard to tell the general public will react when the government decides to go nuclear. my supposition this if. south korea and north korea if the united and the group of nuclear weapons were night japanese public opinion would change. because nuclear deterrence is a fact of it well it saddens me to think that we have found no other way to live in peace is one as i go in the name to panic wise as gone this means that the lesson
9:54 am
of your ashima and nagasaki has been lost in the second half of the twenty first century will be the century of china this reduction scares me japanese and makes them think it's stronger with the united states no he don't she my is not an end it's a scream heralding a new chapter in human history a 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 their country. and i. went and job. that is one point six a couple an hour and wish him a shot every day for twelve years i would they feel what are.
9:55 am
they 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 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 the. person saying all. we're going to give you one would think and it just is just they seem seem fair to. they rob them off the island and the island the marshall i mean this. is where your adult intended you to be. my day is to. be a school and my people. economy every country depends on american aid and the unbalance
9:56 am
dialogue 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 a memory the only weapon evelyn inherited the reason americans are giving us money because it was a right first i was just a girl and make sure that their story was in the like a base still remembered as the one that suffered more from the bomb. without a conference on. the title what i think i'll set at the bottom i did a presentation. and there were all shot is they there were like. want. need there was evidence on the march on. and they even they didn't want any regime. and i'm like yeah and they're like where is the marshal.
9:57 am
and it's all in the marshall islands was. she in hawaii. and you know even x. is. actually moving there and i'm one of them and from there. the price of freedom from the most elite fascists in history. those who fought to win that stand proud. against the tide of history being written. sixty six years of victory on her and she.
