a minute of silence. and americans what they think about the about of 1945. the service of. just a flight i don't know i think it's tough to believe people for the mistakes of history i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it. welcome to the weekly here on our t.v. our roundup of the day's headlines along with the stories that shape the week. there's been a tense standoff in the lebanese capital amid an outpouring of grief and anger over tuesday's deadly explosion security forces use rubber bullets and tear gas to break up crowds calling for justice.

we went to martyrs square to sort of gallows for those who did this to our country today will hang losers and we won't lead a single government ministers. a police officer was reportedly killed in the clashes and more than 700 people were injured according to local emergency services some demonstrators reportedly tried to break through a barrier blocking the street leading to parliament a number of arrests were made. a massive blast hit the port area on tuesday killing at least 158 people the city's health system has been overwhelmed by the disaster

numerous city buildings have been damaged and thousands of locals have been left homeless. you know all of a sudden we found to everything turned over our hands but i turned around and i was hit by something in my right hand people screaming kids screaming but if i saw it and i saw today. the devastation here in the lebanese capital is very massive the blast was felt at 10 kilometers away from the board where it took place i believe this is going to be a sleepless night for the lebanese and a very sad 9.

11 us army and fire fighters have been still trying to put off the fire which is still until today burning through the remains of the warehouses rescue workers are still trying to dig through the rubble to find the remainder or the missing individuals but they are all at the field of sort of. as russian rescuers are getting down to well what they have been flown in here for i want you to just look around and let something sink in about the sheer and

ultimate demolition power. behind this explosion we are in the very epicenter as close's villian can get and this is the very 1st site where russian rescue is searching for survivors. amid all have a you can still pinpoint the telltale signs of people's panic of their rush to leave the area as they were caught up in the bluster but as people ran hundreds of thousands found out they may have no longer a place to call home and look where this is. going to be because. there. are you flew with he said. the old.

lebanon already home to syrian and palestinian refugee camps now may need a camp for its own people with over 300000 displaced by the blast. we are standing on the doorstep of martyrs square as you can see behind me the ambulances are still gushing in and out now these demonstrators to express their dismay over what they say is poor handling of the lebanese government and the aftermath of tuesday's that explosion.

they say they are going to stay here until their demands are met also at the same time we know that. in the district of a sheriff east of badal protesters have managed to storm into the foreign ministry . we are coming back to the property of our people is building belongs to the people of. earth esther's has turned up at least for a ministry is this decision to torching a number of buildings. seems like the last became of the final the straw that broke the camel's back if i may say so and it seems like all that all the work that the volunteers had previously done yesterday the day before yesterday it has be undone by today's action we had time to speak with them are angry bear sad we lost the country we lost beirut we have people. who didn't find out we have family members we don't know anything about the

people who will daily go back to the streets they will daily ask for the justice we need the justice made who doesn't deserve this and we would if you is what happened to us. lebanon had already been going through its worst financial crisis in years inflation is soaring and almost half of the population lives below the poverty line around a 3rd of working age adults are unemployed as well mass protests against corruption and the dire state of the economy have been sweeping the country since october the blast that destroyed the country's main port has only aggravated the situation on saturday demonstrators put up much gallows in a location where people were hanged or that 100 years ago under the ottoman empire protestors raised cardboard cutouts with ropes around their necks depicting lebanon's prime minister and hezbollah's leader as well as other officials and response to the surge and civil unrest the prime minister has called for an early election he says that corruption was to blame for tuesday's tragedy and lebanon's

information minister. has announced her resignation saying the current government has failed to live up to the lebanese people's expectations journalist chris hedges told us lebanon will have to tackle some deep rooted problems to overcome the unrest. this is just the culmination of very catastrophic calm a nation of an absolute dysfunction failure collapse of good government responsible government in lebanon there were massive demonstrations as i mentioned before in 2019 and a reshuffling of the government but it didn't do anything to dent the you know catastrophic mismanagement and wholesale corruption that has characterized the lebanese state i would say for the last 3 decades and so what we're seeing and i think you know your reporter the report you just did out of lebanon was good in illustrating this is

a complete frustration when you were there hanging nooses i don't think the kinds of reformist policies that were proffered in 2019 are going to work. it's been 75 years since the u.s. dropped the atomic bomb on the japanese city of nagasaki it came just days after the bombing of hiroshima on the 6th of august 2 attacks led to some 200000 civilian deaths but people continue to die years after the tragedy due to severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries. mocked local you know it just. kind of war now is out there much you would see him

it's a sin must die for you are you more or need to guy night. i get the meat on this and. get it while you must. out and jerk saying. you care haven't you cares you kind of want to tear down there . are going mad. at us euro about particular. danger question that. i had to cut down at my desk when i get to. where on you may have had to. guess and sheena to have had a candidate for dinner and have commissioned. me . memorial events have been scaled back this year due to the pandemic but small

ceremonies still took place in both cities affected by the tragedy during the commemorations japan's prime minister was joined by the few surviving witnesses of the attacks they marked the blasts with a minute of silence. the u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy of people in new york and her she must say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure to anything like the cia i feel like i haven't learned much. if you say you were. just. in the article is a more positive result. from harbor b.

pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to for over. 16 terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history. something like that catastrophic should go like an apology were like but i'm pretty sure i'm looking for reparations i'm native american beef think i'm going to give any that's not going to happen it's not going to happen for the japanese. but that she was when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. and i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it and the military situation was utterly

hopeless for japan perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end would have been over without the bombings and the war between japan and the us it's a shame the us hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. it's very important to say it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda war when. the atomic bomb didn't just change the political landscape but the cultural one as well are to tell or takes a look at how the deadly blast helped to form the popular culture we consume on a daily basis. there are moments in history as a memory so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining of the mushroom clouds been away over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki.

for decades the us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 80s that color images sought by the us military posture be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety. but out of the unimaginable suffering roy who's a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the conti's take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic full the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. we've never seen anything even close to your level of exposure you survive an event

like. the superhero we smell better than ever steel which no sirree. in the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo to city chaos a kind of crisis powerless before us. but i. as relations between countries change so to to the movies the follow in king kong could sell an epic battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated tell. it around 10000000 what to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the cuts in the series to date but turned

out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from a hello kitty in a room and they were as much hits a brought out so. i couldn't get enough of them it didn't matter if i could see the wires and the seams and the costumes and the least moving when the words didn't it was so fanciful and imaginative it what's japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the nintendo game console to the last possible cassette by sony it's mainly the kids of america saying this is great we've got to have one for boys in this country between the ages of $8.15 not having an intent is like not having a baseball bat japan continues to successfully export its pop culture like minder and animate some say that creates a sort of outlet for math is from the anxieties that paid trip that 5 percent back in 1905 but teenagers in the u.s. who consume the poverty and colorful characters and stories don't see this fantasy

is being created to escape from the darkness of tragedy. still had voting is underway in belarus where present location is hoping to extend his 26 years and power tells another that story and more after that. anyone else chose seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just they come out ok and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i am. ah no team no crowd. no shots. back she felt. strong no the 1st. point should be your thirst for action. welcome back well russians are casting their ballots in the country's presidential election today alexander lukashenko is seeking a 6th term and office is being challenged by political newcomer so the to her art

is on the hawkin's has more. well the cue to cast their votes here in about a russian embassy in central moscow has been going around the block for quite some time now crowds of approximately 2000 have been waiting in line it's been all very calm and peaceful quite a contrast though from what's been happening in belarus itself are the reports of arrests detentions of come pain is that activists even some reports of internet blackouts problems with internet connection in some parts of the country. there have been no reprised it was to any violations of the law just follow the rules in any talk of reprisals would disappear if you violate the law we will respond and yet we have been responding mildly so far no one exam to look at china has held the post of president in belarus since 1904 he's won multiple elections with landslide victories a lot of the time he faces though his biggest challenge to date discontent in

belarus with the political situation and he faces a reinvigorated resurgent opposition led by sfard lawyer. who took up the banner of the opposition after the arrest and detention of a husband surrogate back in may now she's won the endorsement of other opposition candidates she's promised to hold free elections and rallied tens of thousands of supporters to the streets. thousands of health care workers have rallied across the u.k. demanding a pay rise and recognition for their work during the covert $1000.00 pandemic national health service staff feel snubbed after the government announced last week that 900000 public sector workers would get salary hikes the measure is meant to reward workers on the front lines of the fight against covert 19 but it did not include the majority of n.h.s. staff as a separate deal had already been negotiated 2 years ago we spoke to some medical professionals at a march in london. that was the since we had in may depend on me and we've had

these incredible time weapons. dying struggling we've been separate for our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years let alone well. it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about nash if he were surviving on charts but our nations and family trying to have a stop just because it came and just pretty crap for us we deserve back as a profession and a home and a test deserve better and that was what stage was ready for me to find out that 900000 public sector workers to get a pay rise. this off thinking is just the police if we spend a good not going to be about i cannot tell you anything more as well as all the hard times knew that movie was the problem when allowed to fly and this is what we do being in the know is enough we have to fight because nobody knows really no one

else is going to live. and i just nurse naomi bennett told us morale among healthcare workers has hit a new low. at the moment i myself being on the front line we are actually put in our lives at risk to save the country however we've been left out of this pay rise and it's absolutely diabolical really makes us know that we are not valued nobody's valuing us every day we get out we go and work with patients who have codes or potentially have we're not given enough equipment we're not given enough protection however our when now been this is going to be even more because you know you get a pay rise i think is absolutely disgusting this is so bad and months from my staff we actually look at our options in terms of is this what we really want to be doing because we will also have families it's a terrible shame that the government are not recognizing that frontline staff are

more disproportionately being effective we've coped with 90 especially black nurses and from ethnic minorities also so that's an issue there's no risk assessment in place to protect us and now a slap in the face. the question of health care is playing a central role in this year's u.s. presidential election as they cope with 1000 pandemic ravages the country on saturday president donald trump signed a coronavirus relief order sparking a mother wave of criticism from democrats arrest him one of the crisis with the u.s. accounting for a quarter of the world's cases some voters are turning to the president's democratic rival joe biden artist and looks at a new online campaign aimed at uniting opposition to trump ahead of november as well. if your man for the white house lacks a little bit of that x. factor and has been playing it safe hiding in his bunker for months then perhaps

what you need to spark his bid for the presidency is a catchy slogan something to stir up the emotions of the undecided something to rally the troops how about settle for biden sounds like a job right settle for biden bad or they describe themselves as a grassroots group of former elizabeth warren and bernie sanders supporters who recognize joe biden's flaws but now our nation will out survive former years and so maybe it's not the most dynamic of slogans but can you blame those who came up with this when they admit they are not the biggest fans of their candidate they just prefer him over another 4 years of turbulent trump and they think they might be on to winner and there's merchandize who would have ever thought that settle for would be popular campaign terminology introducing the settle for biden teacher this 100 percent cotton t. shirt will let people know that you'll vote for an old out of touch democrat in november but you won't be happy about settle for biden because it could be worse it could be better but could be worse now of course republicans have jumped in on this

to make satire but joe biden does not seem to get the joke and most importantly who is shit. i. am not sure. now that is unlike all the voters all over twitter seem to be admitting that they are voting for joe biden out of necessity not enthusiasm was running errands in my settled for biden show today walking out of a store a guy said to meet joe biden i shrugged and said yeah i agree and then walked away there was much to argue but he's better than trump get in loser we're going to enact some middling reforms to quash social unrest well continuing to perpetuate a racist and classist system that disproportionately benefits and protects the

wealthy. settle for biden but jokes aside the only thing you need to know about this joe biden campaign is that his own motto seems to go against this very concept this is the united states of america we don't settle we is fun or let's get to work the united states presents itself as the democratic ideals of the world where free and fair elections reflect the popular will however nowadays it seems that voting isn't so much about backing the candidate you want as it is about stopping the one that you don't get worked up and r.t. new york that's been the weekly about if you're craving more news you can always follow us on facebook or instagram for up to the minute reports. during the year we talk about all the crazy problems out there and then during the

summer we hit you with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with. nose of coin floor. u.k. . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. experience dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hello and welcome to worlds apart karl gustafer young a pioneering sways psychiatry's who is now seeing and now the rise to prominence more than 50 years after his death once remarked we don't solve our problems but rather outgrow them this may be true for individuals but does it also apply to societies and if so why do our societies despite old economic and technological growth seem more infantile than ever while to discuss that i'm now joined by dr james hollis a prominent union psychoanalyst and author of the upcoming book living between worlds finding personal resilience in changing times dr hollis it's a great privilege for me to talk to you thank you very much for your time my privilege actually used to be with you now let me start to be dick title of your upcoming book could the 16th i believe to come out from under your pan changing

times isn't that a bit of an oxymoron because history has never stopped evolving and the dynamics of person. well development. everybody experienced this crisis it some point in our lives so other times believe in the really so extraordinary well not at all that's exactly the point we always live in changing times we always live in times of the changing structures of our society we live in times that are changes for ourselves crises of understanding of believe the roadmap that we were following etc it's just that we live in a particularly time of great disruption of what people thought were fixed beliefs fixed structures and fixed understanding's of self and world so the real question is how does anybody personally survive and adapt but also maintain a sense of core integrity during those.
