so the argument that the bombs were dropped not all it's a military necessity to intimidate the soviet union. the 1st ever atomic bomb to be used in war was dropped in the city if there is steam on the 6th of august 19th by well over 100000 citizens were killed those in the hype a sense of what instantly turned into dust while countless others died from the burns and high dose of radiation they received. over $50000.00 survivors. still live in the city each one of them has their own story to tell of the day the bomb fell and i was on my way to meet one. which will.

mean she will. have a. chance to make up and just get a movie for 3 months or more and. she's being decent. i didn't want to. see you next and given that. sound. and nice and now women who. was just a 13 year old schoolgirl that day and as i was about to find out recalling those events hasn't become any easier even after 70 years. that i relax your new home. in this car. now chris.

that will never pass yeah right there in the media. that that pinning down. stayed up can any money dailies so we're all class and when the assassin quadruped at the net. and you quote. all iraqi card hats that clear the one cow on the menu look with the letter p. that's going to the moon or casa. corey del to dignitas then bill you go i guarantee it's a real you. know. i said. this is. clear at the night go. how you knuckling my to call me. which. is you should name your senate. that is to

them. so you know we must donate. their rights to material. then they are serious him. to see me. i was happy to work we had been on a long war we had been attacked by the japanese the japanese people were not nice people and i was. the policy of the united states government at that time was to subdue the nation of japan. and i was willing to do anything i could do to help that. it was president's harry s. truman who made the decision to drop the atomic bomb he'd only been in office for

a little under 4 months. a short time ago an american arab buy in dropped one on hiroshima and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy where this we have added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction what has been done is the greatest achievement of irgun night in science in history. here yet the grandson like of the president who decided to drop the bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki i think he's going to see the legacy of. ronnie more things he bought into the ground us drop the bomb we still use the thousands of japanese people they build it up lacey so who is coming out of your life because. of course i have to see i was trying to decisions fit his personal life as i told you was the war the job of all please be enjoyed to this day because it's. to be

a. teacher so yeah my wife calling us from the poison source says this must be done just you know. yeah you know it's the new way oh. did. you know. some of it is real soldiers and is this. you feel you in your relationship with the grandfather. of the ghetto in some stories that you. you know you know and also you sociate i don't mean oh yeah no no no no no i know i understand completely when i was a kid yeah very annoying sometimes because you're a teenager and you're trying to figure out who you are you know and and what you turn out to be for a lot of people as an adjunct to somebody else so they you know your grandfather was wonderful and i remember your grandfather and yeah yeah yeah. you know thanks. as i've gotten older no it's you know there's

a legacy yeah and. you do with it what you can see the kind of boy i could have. chose not to yeah i when i was in my late thirty's i kind of rediscovered my grandfather as a human being i mean i you know the history is always there. with a sense of victory in the. already looking forward to a post-war world by the poles done conference on the 18th of july 945. american relations had been fairly good under roosevelt truman was an unknown quantity to stalin and this meeting marks a turning point in relations between the allies. truman at potsdam did indicate to stalin that we had a new weapon he did not specify what it was and he believed that stalin did not know and stalin's response was nonchalant which was well i hope you used to go to jail. against the enemy what we now know from

a variety of sources including former soviet sources is that all the knew very well what truman was talking about through his own sources in stalin pol to stay with them i won't but it was to sit in the midst of them ridicule anybody else they would not answer in 4 months or so has been saved is a distance from one of them story he's got on the bomb of that real so you will do that in the beginning at the last word because it is him or skin barnum swaim wish for you see what. was in the curse. of. business is to ensure. its one moment's notice and. you can take every. week you have can you cancel account of one to 10 day. every night. and

you have to. it's nice seeing your guide. she was delivering mail when a 2nd plutonium bomb called 1st month fell on nagasaki kids from the blast melted the skin on his bike and left footage of his horrific injuries has become iconic assume its hero is now a living symbol of the suffering caused by the bombs. that data might. get to. where you're at to. let him out of commission. square. and certainly i think.

this city was in the original targets for the 2nd bomb fights one was destined for the quarter but the weather was overcast a bit like today so the boxcar b. 29 changed course and headed to a secondary target not a stocking. just 3 days after hiroshima on the 9th of august the 2nd atomic bomb exploded with a destructive force of 21 killer tons of t.n.t. and killed over 70000 of the city's residents. the comprehensive fire bombing campaign conducted before the a bombs had left japan in ruins the us already had the country blockaded and could soar from food and fuel. us to keep bombing survey that was done at the end

of the work concluded that the japanese would have surrendered. even if the bomb had nothing used even if the invasion had not gone forward that they would have surrendered prior to november 1st which i think was the date for operational one pick the invasion of the home islands so why did the us drop the bombs that's what historians are debating and i think that truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to try to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender before the russians got in so the russians would not get all those concessions that we had promised them number one the number 2 and equally if not more important the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union. with each country looking to carve all the spheres of influence after the war relations between east and west were aligned larry korea

lies that euclid poet equals political power on the world stage and documents from as early as $945.00 suggest the allies would turning against each other. in the planning actually in october of 1945 and had chosen 20 targets in russia moscow and leningrad were also included in the target list early on and as i understand it just from talking to some of the more planets designate a ground 0 was to be either the kremlin itself or it was a power plant that was very close to the kremlin as the bombs got larger they would move the designated ground 0 to a point so that it would destroy more targets just with one weapon difficult. to linton's committee just percent they said it was good it was so i'm sure you know and we are political politically so this new couldn't what is it about the

switch with some secret their pups that it was the news from it that i looked. at it on the. condition. really tryna come from thoughts simply to screw them so disconcerting some sinister connecticut where the choice new college store got an interest in cinema to produce in school so it was a. point forward in the foreseeable future a war between the united states and russia will be the result of a miscalculation by russian leaders of the capabilities uncontentious unites states and they were going to mop all of the different industries senses in brochure the us wrong targets. seem wrong. well we just don't all. get to shape out just they become educated and in the game equals

a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

you know the big bang bang. and so now ek is an 82 year old niggas sucky bomb survivor both he and his daughter travel around schools talking to children about the war. so now uses cartoons to help him share with a younger audience his experience of the day the bomb fell. then. there. and i thank you. salute to. all and not only much of a. salute to keith swamiji kunle coach more doc doesn't need to feel sorry it came back with what sticks did it and. so little can. be. let us know who will take me. for the get it you got there must

a lot. but i do mit i would not it started. before that started it. did need us and this of the. 2 of them on narcotic mother would look picked up the kid in the muck local good morning again. we hit it still yeah i musta. full mock local you know this on. war now as if you know much you words emits a smug sort of you so he did he any mortal. this can go away study the worst 2 nd or one or negate will by so are not. enough i already must be this. will need to guy night more i get to meet on this and more mock broke or get a cold one you must say more will punch in the when you move up was another move i

just sent you with a door you must will kill meanwhile want to. get back when its in the way it did in the skittle no wish to do us to meet up with the need. wheel on the day to day are they more put up the work on must. be an old one says or. study days for more she will one day and i will watch let the solution must still do what i say no. more than bull she did die and well you know it's. the what i said i'm getting i don't much. i think that the bombs were believed at the time to be necessary as general marshall who was head of the us military during the war said after the war. we

didn't want to have to invade japan we knew we would kill many japanese and many americans would die as well. that was truman's just if occasion to save half a 1000000 american lives that would otherwise have been lost if that invaded the mainland. what i don't understand is how people who have presumably studied the same documents of consistence different conclusions about the bombings i don't understand it either to me it's such a clear cut issue if you look at what the us intelligence was saying if you look at the comments of american leaders at the time in fact 6 of america's 75 star admirals and generals who got their 5th star during the war record as saying that the bomb was either militarily unnecessary morally reprehensible or both you can't come to any other conclusion and that the bomb was not necessary that the soviet invasion was going to end the war the us invasion was not going to begin till

november 1st so we dropped the bomb that august 6th and august 9th invasion is not going to take place for 3 more months why do we do it why you have to conclude that we wanted to do it. greta show me around the hiroshima piece memorial museum for brings back mixed emotions terrible memories of the bomb but also happy ones from her wedding which was held in the grounds. the hiroshima city governments to suggest that removing some of the exhibits over concerns that children find them frightening. but chilcote doesn't think they're realistic enough. to know stone rules. korean or. i want to comment on the. study. of the

ship. scott 5 months from the back she kept everything. is. this had some. questions in there seems to finish. up so. do i regret the atomic pressure and i regret we had to do it but i think we had to do it nordic and the war with a minimum loss of life if the same situation existed again

exactly as then as it had back in 1945 yes i would go on i would volunteer for the bouncer by the fact i don't want to go to war. yeah a memoir with. it is it's a personal it's sort of the change from i you know i like most americans born in that time and growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision to end the war and save american lives primarily but would otherwise likely be lost in an invasion of the main islands so i went from not giving it much thought at all to . being confronted one day with with the reality that people lost their lives and in horrible ways.

japan is still counting the cost of the a bombs the government's makes monthly health care payments to the survivors to help with treatment not just for the physical effects of radiation exposure but also the psychological impacts. many of them come to this clinic set up especially for the hit in hiroshima. clone that i knew sunday i know in fact i know qatada said to stay overnight aggressive. one day and nothing in the law or sense and move. to stand on water if you will to no quarter throw so here kyra i want to go below i thought as i've gotten to come in the next you know i'm got to take my city since course of course or southern afghanistan there's kid on the corner of me.

i don't like. and the deal not i know you did something nice you know that. goes. out to those who have to hang with you. the i'm the one just you know. since in 2000. and 10 or more to bring your p.t.s.d. this kingdom or the american or 13 the more needles on me just now your. are the minority in this day through. this kind of sort of old school yarn. stuff written.

after the war the japanese constitution was changed by the americans and it's remained in place ever since including 9 which prohibits japan from having its own military. well the country can still protect itself with its self defense forces including its fleets which is partly based to the american naval base in your corsica. nowhere is the american incursion more evident brita streets all the haunch as it's known by the sailors is just a stone's throw from the naval base. any time baby i have no idea what that means. is the place to go if you want a native or to go shopping at the army surplus store.

and rock city seems to be particularly popular among your cusa because foreign guests. strike the american citizen making the most of the downtime here 8. however the u.s. base in okinawa is probably the most controversial and i suppose the sun. is home 221000 service personnel more the morning 3 of all american soldiers based in the asia pacific region and the locals want them gone back. to their group the end of august and wanted their mommy kind of been something. this is something i'm going to have any chance and that oh it's a death of

a hiking on and they have got there and one of the lot that ana he had to get there . but i got my stuff. and this was the with all of us has paid me not to get off on all accounts and i know you just i think you have all the hey i can pull it back if i must and i. i didn't see it i think it's i've had enough. and i mean. when i go there what can i fix the next it up what am i going to do this since it was that i'm i guess is the. despite the atomic bombings in japan and the united states have an amicable and close relationship today however no incumbent u.s. president has visited here ashima on august saki and america's yet to receive an apology for the surprise attack on pearl harbor. truman lived until he was 88 and stood by his decision to drop the atomic bombs to the day he died. so you don't

think there will be this or no i don't think there will be i don't you know there's no harm in talking about it and i don't know that will ever be an apology maybe the 2 countries can find language that that that brings them together to say you know we acknowledge that serious hurt is done on both sides and we we own that and we are going forward it doesn't feel at this point that it will ever be a flat out apology from the u.s. to japan or the other way around i don't know that the united states has ever asked japan for an apology for pearl harbor or that they offered it so what do you think about america no no no you got the demo then this summer i guess you called the. turning and you were in a corner in a circle crap and made you cry let me. although i sound like that though do not the way here he. has

a full. stomach with the one you know 2nd you are throwing them all. now. well. i can last. for. following the atomic bombing of 2 cities over $300000.00 japanese lost their lives if plans to attack the u.s. assad actually being carried out in which 20 cities with targeted including population centers like moscow leningrad the said war the number of lives lost would have been in the millions. fortunately that never happened but it did mark the start of a new era the cold war. the

summer solution starts right where we come up with solutions to all the problems they cover on the other shows right there anyway today we've got a goal to the moon edition with a special guest mark valid incremental i'm. thinking of getting a cue from the ones we've gotten to show from the ground why is he didn't know what to do he's trapped in this tiny well wired we don't need a crate with him he will just reaching out into the wall when it's pretty much anywhere near and thousands of reading dogs are caged in in human conditions on
