there is the model minority myth, and then there is the bamboo ceiling. these things that are components of white supremacy that often we buy into, like the world is a meritocracy and if you study hard and work hard, everything will come your way. and then we realize it doesn't work for us and we see it working even worse for black latinx people come and how do we work together with these groups to support them and change our tech industry and all of these different areas where systemic racism has been such a huge problem. we see, though, that there is a lot of pressure to get asian americans to side against other groups. there is a tight black-- anti-blackness in the asian american community, which doesn't help. how do we take action? michelle and i are working together to outline what are the steps you should take as an asian american to learn about how black activists helped change law and helped change the united states culture in ways that have really helped asian and asian americanss. and how do we learn about our history and learn about our own ant

they were drilling with bamboo poles, sharpened bamboo sticks, civilian units were attached to military units. they were told to fight to the death against american soldiers. so those stories, i have heard. they go hand-in-hand with the distraction. edward: right. i think it is fair to say that if operational olympic had taken place, not only would there have been tremendous casualties for american and allied forces conducting the invasion, but the devastation in japan would have been astronomical. i have a question from jim kohler. i think this would be for both of you, directed to you, clifton first. he says by mid 1945, the usa had three to five adam ballrooms -- atom bombs. .resumably we would have how did this factor into truman's thinking and targeting? and do we know if fdr realized we would have so few weapons? clifton: i think we only had three. . three -- we had the test at alamogordo and and fat man on nagasaki. little boy being uranium and fat man being plutonium bomb. i think we had one more. i don't know as much research as i have done on this, what the plan was. i know th

ten local elementary school students handed plastic bamboo branches to the head of the zoo. they were decorated with over 1,000 paper cards carrying messages from children. the panda came to japan to cheer up children after a powerful earthquake. but the zoo's head says there's still time for people to come and say good-bye. the final departure date hasn't been set, as the coronavirus has grounded direct flights to china. >>> and that's all for now on this edition of nhk "newsline." i'm raja pradhan in tokyo. thanks sto thanks for j joining us. >>> welcome to "newsline" in depth. we've come to you from tokyo, from the rooftop of nhk headquarters in shibuya. behind my, japan's capital is slowlyly coming back to life afr the lifting of the state of emergency. the world h has become a strangely-different place since covid-19 arrived on the scene. working from home, wearing face masks and facing apartrt in sup market queues are just one of the new realities. the "newsline" industry has come out here in the open air looking fofor the big picture. today we bring you an exclusive i

they were training, they were drilling with bamboo poles, sharpened bamboo sticks, attached, civilian units were attached to military units. they were told to fight to the death against american soldiers so those stories, i have heard. they go hand-in-hand with the destruction. edward: i think it is fair to say if operation olympic had taken place, not only would there have been tremendous casualties for american and allied forces conducting the invasion, but the devastation in japan would have been astronomical. a question from jim, i think this would be for both of you, i will direct it to you first, clifton. he says by mid-1945 the usa had only had 3-5 atom bombs, uranium and political. if we used them and japan didn't surrender, presumably we would have had to continue with the invasion. how did this -- these weapons factor into truman's thinking about using the bomb and targeting, and do we know if fdr realized we would have so few weapons? hadton: i think we only three. we had, we had done the test at alamogordo and we had the little hiroshima,we used on and fat man on nagasaki,

it might look like a few bits of bamboo strung together with wheels, and that's pretty much what it isew obstacles and you've got a sport that will definitely get the adrenaline running. cheering and applause it all started when local environmentalist nicky decided to ramp up a children's game and turn it into a heart stopping adventurous sport. this would be described as an extreme sport. yeah. more of an insane sport, nicky. i think there's something wrong with you. cheering and applause nice! he's still alive! yeah. go straight down there, by that corner. so missing about 15 trees on the way down. yeah. ok, that's important. ready? go! oh dear! oh dear. gaining speed. gaining speed! now, they make it look very easy but it's far from it! you've got to be careful of where you're heading because these tracks aren't straight lines. and your speed just picks up a crazy amount so you need to plant your feet down to slow you down. and watch out for those trees! close call! after a few attempts, i start to get the hang of things. laughter but as for the big jumps? well, i think i'll leave t

ploughshare are made especially vulnerable because they're only found in this small area of sand bamboo and scrubland. right there the 1st we come upon it's a tiny one turns out to be just a few months old. and. some of those who've worked with out and wong in the past tell us that because a rare species he collects goodies ploughshare tortoise is perhaps the most valuable of all goodies when this guy or girl grows up to be an adult he or she could be worth tens of thousands of u.s. dollars. and if it was back. to real says smugglers including wong started coming to these shores in the 1980 s. just as the group was publishing reports over how endangered the species had become . endangered means high profits for poachers and the rule believes wang has made millions selling plowshares off to be illegal pet trade. their beautiful shells make it easy to see why they are considered the jewel in the crown of the reptile world. so when you hear about people like ants and long. making lots of money from these partial tortoises. what is that doing your mind or is that to your heart you know. it'

infected with coded 19 but there's another more complex factor at play to what leo felix calls the bamboo ceiling which hinders filipino nurses who try to get promoted off the wards into more senior positions phillippa nurses are very respectful and very obedient to do their employers. and they've done the and i really question authorities so they're seen as. less assertive so they may not necessarily get those position of management. he says these traits also make them vulnerable to unscrupulous employers. one group of nurses turn to lawyers commission for help in a busy legal fight against their employer the weight of the case was not just that they were facing a year in prison it was that they would be deported. the fight was against new york's biggest nursing home network sentosa care when oscar's clients were recruited in the philippines they signed up to work at specific missing lines but when they arrived they found themselves working elsewhere in breach of their visa conditions what happened was they were moved to other facilities that were owned by the same global corporation but

regulation of foreign commerce those white supremacists willing to give torches being nervous that bamboo is from thailand assume nothing at a luau is legal. so you say this wouldn't be a federal case of the guy made a mullet of coghill with a bottle of kentucky bourbon and stove yanna kentucky bourbon explosives are encouraged but they could also be a felony to new york lawyers facing 45 to life with no record were charged with interfering with interstate commerce by throwing a molotov cocktail into an empty already damaged police car according to authorities the police car is an instrument interstate commerce and their lawyers they should have known a property crime like arson could also be 7 felonies it's a stretch don't you think. federal crimes stretchy baby it sleuths its jhansi its own about the crimes you didn't commit and it's always been like this they make federal cases out of drugs and drug charges so we use the defendant cell phone ping in new jersey then it's interstate baby i don't jazz musicians want to be associated with arbitrary felonies let me explain a san diego man w

in december 28th scene the munich heart surgeon bono high shot transplanted a pig's heart into a bamboo it survived for 6 months scientists around the world hailed the development as a trailblazing success and yet it will take at least another 5 to 10 years before a human might get a pig's heart but is it ethically acceptable to breed animals in order to harvest their organs. yet for some animal experiments are needed in general most you have to be able to ethically justify whether the expected benefit that people give their improved quality of life justifies the pain and suffering or hurt of the animals that our animals don't have any kind of pain suffering or had the genetic modifications don't influence the animals at all if we were able to save a life by transplanting a pig organ and then it would be ethically justified to get a threat that. had come. from. the booze. drugs. really. turned. the mouse could help revolutionize transplant procedures. to read their work here the buyer can make or not toss that we can make or pet does nontransparent biological tissues transparent that ou

in this early part of the exhibition looking at the colonial period and virginia, is the story of bamboo to harry and diana. they were to enslaved people of robert king carter. king carter as his nickname of king perhaps adjusts, was one of the most powerful and wealthiest planters in colonial virginia. and king carter represents the development of the virginia colony from what was first a fledgling outpost of the british empire to what became, over the course of the colonial period, a gem in the crown of the british empire. it became one of the most politically and economically powerful colonies in the british empire. and that evolution transpired through to interrelated developments. the development of tobacco cultivation, tobacco became the primary cash crop of virginia. and also the development of slavery. tobacco was a labor intensive crop, it required a lot of labor's, planters, initially, nicola new virginia, in the 17th century they were using white insurgents. over the course of that century, they realized that it was much more profitable to them to use enslaved black laborers.

going kept trying different things and tried over 5000 types of material until he settled on japanese bamboo so his lasted longer than others. that is what marks a great entrepreneur. i have talked to jeff pazo's about this but he believes trial and error. he wants to make mistakes and he did. look at the history of amazon it's a series of disasters and success as well and eventually a very big success. he's on record to say if you're not trying different things and you will not succeed. the rule of trial and error is crucial in people's lives. just keep trying and you will eventually succeed. don't be discouraged by a failure. >> yet i see and tomorrow launching american into orbit for the first time and when it doesn't work and a problem with the autonomous cars with the space launch a lot of people love it. do you see that in the united kingdom as well? do you want to see that failure? >> anyone who succeeds in the uk is automatically targeted by the media and everyone else. in america are you have it lucky that he would find the media far worse over here. so it is a general problem but i

dropped via specially made parachutes or inside bamboo boxes or containers, and you can see herean an eight bird container. they had to be dropped in the containers or they would fly home. soldiers would attach messages and send them back with communication. so successful, few of these messages were encoded. they were so dependable at returning home, they did not worry about the messages getting into enemy hands. although their talents are well-known, the truth is we don't know a lot about how pigeons always managed to know how to go home. , ito know that it takes really does start with training at a young age. -- they can be moved to new locations and the bird taken 100 miles away and despite the new location and sometimes even the loft's new location, the bird will return. how do they do that? first, young homing pigeons are purchased or hatched in a loft and this is their permanent home, where they will always return to. they are weaned here and gradually allowed to fly short distances around the loft, and when they return, they get to eat. gradually it instills a pavlovian mechani

so when his father a stern and demanding man told him to fan the bamboo pole knife we spent hours in the village and then they would even go hungry get out here and go find someone he left his grandfather's house and walked out to the home village. two hours later curious later he went looking for him and returned and looked in the window. hanging from the noose was the may he was dead and the suicide note read my life is coming to an end now today is the day of sorrow for myself and suffering but also a day for celebration because today papa sent me away. thank you for loving me so little. in the early sixties suicide in micronesia was almost unknown but for reasons know when understood began to rise leaps and bounds until by the end of the eighties more suicides in micronesia than anywhere in the world males between 15 and 24 the suicide rate in the united states is 22 per 100,000 and micronesia 160 per 100,000, seven times higher. suicide is almost commonplace. and then that was hardly unusual committing suicide because they saw other adults do it and the parents refuse to get a f

pigeons were dropped via specially made parachutes or inside bamboo boxes or containers, and you can see here an eight bird container. that would be dropped by parachute. they had to be put in these containers. otherwise when they were let they would fly home. out of the aircraft they would fly home. the soldiers could collect , pigeons, attach the messages, and then send them back with the communication. the previous slide was message book in one of the capsules that would be used. since they were so successful, very few of these messages were encoded. they were so dependable at returning home that they did not worry about the messages getting into enemy hands. and although their talents are well-known, the truth is we don't know a lot about how pigeons always managed to know how to go home. we do know that it takes, it really does start with training at a young age. and that there has to be -- the loft can be moved to new locations and the bird taken of miles away and despite the hundreds pigeons new location and sometimes even the loft's , new location, the bird will return. so ho

they run out of bamboo, they move on to the man-boo.was also announced that los angeles and san diego have abandoned plans for even a partial physical return to classrooms. no in-person schooling. so bullies, you're going to have to get the nerds to venmo you their lunch money. we know trump wants to reopen the schools, and this is surprising, he's not wrong to want that. because according to experts during the first round of school closures, american children were set back, on average, by seven months in their reading and math learning. we're already seven months behind on math. if we fall another seven months behind, there will be no way to know how many months that is. but as bad as things are in california, as it says in their tourist logo, "it's always worse in florida." on saturday, the state broke the nation's covid infection record, and yesterday florida announced another 12,000 new cases. well, at least they don't have a lot of old people down there. or at least, thanks to their governor, they won't in about three weeks. yester

anti-confederate whites, the small number of truly anti-confederate southern whites like elizabeth bamboounion Ãmight be allies in the freedom struggle. african-american soldiers were much more focused on they believed it very strongly you would not have national security and peace unless you were awarded the truest of the south unionists. that is to say without that tool that vulnerability to exploitation you do see some variation as you think about the various social groups. >> our next question comes from sherry. sherry would like to know the african-americans assert serve voluntary and confederate army? >> african americans did not serve in the confederate army. this is one of those myths. to shrine an idea of a faithful slave in a cell. african americans were forced to do hard labor by confederate soldiers labor of the kind they had always done labor that was meant to serve the interests of southern slaveholders and southern white so they were forced to clear roads, to build fortifications, to grow crops and so on. but they were not welcomed into the confederate military. there was a
