3:33 pm
in order to protect themselves from air raid but they team home the night before to visit us so they were that morning they were on their way to the hospital or they are walking over the bridge the mother and the four year old child and they had no chance and. by the time i saw them that morning they were just blackened and swallow. you just couldn't recognise them they were simply blackened melted chunk of flesh the survived above for days they kept begging for water but there was. there would no medical or doctors or nurses no food or we could
3:34 pm

3:35 pm
above them about. five six. hundred meters above them and there the one who simply their eyes. or just from my school three hundred twenty one girls simply disappeared serco what where days months after the bombing like how did you survive in that burnt out city did you ever know what had happened i mean it was the first time that something like that ever took place well i thought americans found it finally caught us because they had being air raiding most of the city especially since. march the first one
3:36 pm
hundred forty of five so we hear osama people in the city were beginning to feel very anxious the hiroshima was supposed to be about tenth largest city in japan the top time but even smaller city had been bombed you know most of the cities have been bombed how come we haven't been a top every day in every night between nine fly around but they haven't dropped any bomb little did we know that the americans had already selected the heroes suma as a target for the new type of bombs which they already had their american government's position has been that bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki where are needed to save american soldiers' lives from being lost in a potential war on the ground how do you feel when you hear that there's this
3:37 pm
exploration sound logical tear that america minute just a myth because japan had being exhausted by that time japan was finished by the time i can verify that we will practically starving at home and the soldiers at the south pacific or any other battlefield they didn't have food they didn't have munitions and we were finished the war ended and the japanese were considering. our end up and there are many historical evidence that the use of nuclear weapons was not necessary and most of historian knowledge that. i rad that you sat somewhere that us occupation forces brought you
3:38 pm
a sense of relief and liberation from the oppression of japan's militaristic government but i mean those were the people who like you were describing so vividly brought total destruction to your citizens killed hundreds of thousands of people i mean eight peoples from your immediate family died. do not connect the u.s. soldiers with the atom bomb was there any hatred a new two words to americans or you were grateful they have brought the end of the war with them. that poem i would say most of the people in hiroshima who experienced the atomic bombing we were in numbed the condition the all the experiences a lot of stimuli saw must've than group test and. that our psyche would not accept that and that meant the station of
3:39 pm
emotion we were not despondent to all the horrible scenes in sight if we despondent normally we would not have survived. so that this i think people's emotional of this moment too many thing to which you are happening around the same woods not out south and the normal and us paul fall you would expect you'd so you need a member of this very polling we have to take a short break right now. just a short break ok but while we're back we'll continue talking was a star low here were shima bombing survivor nuclear disarmament campaign are discussing the nuclear danger today stay with.
3:40 pm
disinflation very little inflation for decades interest rates have gone down for thirty years markets have rallied for thirty years now the whole thing is reversing interest rates are going up so is inflation so we'll see how that plays out if wages rise faster than inflation. as such then come to wonder if wages don't rise as fast as this neo inflation then we had trouble.
3:41 pm
in the philippine city of angeles when the us military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up here. hey dad. i bought a diesel engine like you i. can you know young. son . sorry it isn't the first time the t.v. crew fuse you and takes you were no. answer is known that now and that it's who you are. that's it that i do what my god did. they move it to you can take the deal of above it you can take the boat of the girl.
3:42 pm
3:43 pm
3:44 pm
where back was a circus thurlow here were shima bombing survivor a nuclear disarmament campaign or talking about those dark days in the one nine hundred forty five and what should be done to never let a tragedy like this happen again. i know that they us occupational forces also impose their sort of oppression. on the bombing survivors what was it like let me give you a couple of examples. united states established its decision called the a.b.c. see atomic bomb commission and people are very happy well
3:45 pm
finally we get some kind of medication some medical experts who know what this is about would help a japanese doctors who are at a loss but that's so purpose of a b c c wads to study the effect of radiation on human bodies nothing else not to help the sick people but the radiation and. them the survivors felt the they were being used as a guinea pigs twice first time as a target secondly. subject for research you can imagine the. occupation forces did not want the
3:46 pm
media newspapers. and to write anything which could be seen as disturbed one thing ages to the occupation forces and if the newspaper write something about the destruction and especially human suffering in another thirty that was a very that was considered to be disadvantageous this had to stop so they censored and they forced some newspaper companies to close the shop. that's not exactly democratic thing to do and. vive us. wrote that they had the correspondence and some people wrote the high cool you know japanese literary form when they have pain in their heart they have to
3:47 pm
express that my writing haiku in song they have the photographs. is a medical information all these things were confiscated and thirty two thousand items in all there were or shipped back to the united states because the scientific. triumph of the united states by producing atomic moms was ok in the war they can find out but what human suffering. caused in those cities that was not to be found out by the world that was the reason why so i want to talk a little about them american reaction to war happened. seventy three years ago
3:48 pm
now president obama was the first american president to come to hiroshima in two thousand and sixteen he delivered a very emotional speech very emotional but never sat sorry for america's decision to drop the bomb i know the american public went nuts over the suggestion that he could apologize when the pundits relentlessly mocking that idea. so my question is and your opinion why is it so hard for americans why why do americans are so uneasy about owning up to the hiroshima and nagasaki bombings. i suppose. even today seventy three years later. they must believe what they did was justifiable. to be justified. to end the
3:49 pm
war quickly and to rescue american g.i.'s lives. that was ok i think that mentality is still continues unfortunately. not thinking people are though i think many americans woke up it was such a atrocity unacceptable immoral or illegal at united states took and many americans sorry about that but as a state the other nation i guess they're too proud to apologize i know apology was a very contentious controversial issue i
3:50 pm
feel if he offered it we should have accepted that we deserved stepped up but he chose not to and he couldn't have i suppose because of the political community in the state especially during the presidential election time. but it's not totally. inappropriate. if he did. the apology. you know in the war everybody did a horrible thing. against international law international humanitarian law germans them british the us the japanese did to let. alone our cases when most cases nations do apologize jan germans made sure they lived their life out of world war
3:51 pm
two was one big apology british people college as many times as well and remember both germany and japan who tried. tribunals yes then the japanese military leaders i think six or seven of them or hung. on what happened in your room and so loses. the tried but the victors no matter what they have done not to be tried it's a very unfair world. understood that even as of yet now the manner itself hiroshima and nagasaki have been kept alive thanks to people like you and governments remember those lessons as well there has not been
3:52 pm
a central combat use of a nuclear bomb since forty five now to me it seems that humanity has learned its lesson has sin enough to not ever use nukes again do you have less face in humanity than i do. less faith yes no i do i do have faith in the yes they are going to find i mean if they don't have it now they will certainly i have faith in humanity this humanity must continue to live and this civilization must be preserved i think it's ridiculous some goofy people threatening each other and threatening by saying their bombs are bigger than others and we have more of them
3:53 pm
imagine such a child this impulsive statements are being exchanged by adults anyway it's hard to believe those things are still happening but i think people are ruggedly learning and more than anything i am great for thousands of one hundred millions of people around the world came to realize we just can't leave it to the government alone and n.g.o.s and one hundred twenty two nations signed at the united nations and to adopt the the treaty. to prohibit the nuclear weapon i have heard you in many other interests say over and over again that this anti and nuclear activism work you're
3:54 pm
doing this so that the death of your loved ones will now be in vain do you really have to make amends for what happened in forty five and it wasn't your fault you didn't drop the bomb. the blast is not your fault why do you feel that you are responsible in some way why do you burden yourself with that why i'm responsible for this look i experienced that witness the massive death and destruction anybody with a conscience moral sense you can just imagine silent about the aura something is wrong somebody did it somebody created such destruction and must serve this of humanity entire city just disappeared with one bomb but. when we learn that
3:55 pm
was caused by human beings. then we have to stand up and stop that kind of behavior by the human being who is responsible united states to this sponsible they have never said sorry about that unfortunately more importantly to make sure something like that should never happen again to any human beings to us that is a higher priority we have to stop at our cost and this is why we have been. speaking out about our pain painful past experience the past seventy decades believe me it's not easy
3:56 pm
each time i talk about it my i try to embrace but still i don't see it pains me but i keep doing it because there is no other way i can live this is my moral imperative. guess that would be my answer to your cynical saying to you so much for being with us tonight i have no words actually to express my gratitude. thank you for sharing me and more i hear you. well this is the first time i speak to russian people well i promise you we're going to have another lengthy interview in the mirror so i promise you that much oh i i hope so
3:57 pm
i really want the russian people to think about life and death it's the life. every citizen i'm concerned not the national security international security and you know all these minute thirty juggins yes it's important for us to know such things but the most important thing is to remember your money that's the most simple thing i hope your message gets across and people will hear it and understand it and take it close to heart thank you so much. for talking to circus arlo hiroshima bombing survivor in a disarmament compay in are discussing how her great experience talf us addressed in a clear danger today that's it for this edition of sophie and co i'll see you next .
