most profoundly, i saw the emotional outpouring after president obama's visit to hiroshima to show toome the past and build a more peaceful world. as i stood in the peace park in front of its eternal flame, i couldn't help but think of my father's own work on the limited nuclear test ban treaty and how honored i was to know these two great men. people say it's hard to come home after becoming an ambassador. it's like moving back from college into your old room. i changed, i've made new friends, i've grown up, but everyone treats me just the same. in my case, it means i get to resume one of my most demanding responsibilities, which is introducing other members of my family. it used to be teddy here at this dinner. now, it is someone who adored him and someone i adore, and someone who has pitched in to help me here in japan. jack schlossberg.

hiroshima was unnecessary, virtually every major general and admiral went public after the war saying it was totally unnecessary and outrageous including eisenhower. the issue that has driven a lot of questions, i don't think we will relate differently to other parts of the world until we are different. that is a very hard line, we should try but until we change our institution, politics and culture we will be eaten by large corporate interests. those thinking seriously about global issues this is part of the game. >> thank you so much. this was not quite related but the framing is about the next system but i heard you speak about regionalization, any smaller system, is there an overarching system, i love the name of the group doing community line thrust work in arlington. >> i have used the word too diverse, the name of the game in society structured as natural, and most are, a couple aren't, the question is how those systems are managed and what is the economic structure and politics and polity of that system. that is what i am talking about, large systems like capitalism or sociali

hiroshima was unnecessary. eisenhower as president so the issue that is driven a lot of the questions you are asking i don't think we are going to relate differently to other parts of the world until we are different. that's a very hard line that we can try and we should try but actually until we change our institution our politics and our culture we are probably going to be beaten by the large corporate interests. i urge that you think seriously about global issues as part of the name of the game while we change the underpinnings as well. >> thank you so much. i think this question is related but the framing here is about the next system but you talk about regional innovation and city level change. the next system like many smaller systems than that so is there an overarching system and really quickly i would love the name of the group doing the community lan transfer work in maryland. >> that's a good question. the name of the game ultimately is societies that are structured as national systems and most are.

the estimate is that even in a limited nuclear war between india and pakistan which one hundred hiroshima sized nuclear weapons were used that could lead to partial. to a new partial nuclear winter and up to two billion people being killed there probably would presently about fifteen thousand nuclear weapons in the world russia and the united states have most of them so if for no other reason just because of the nuclear threat we've got to begin to deal with these questions to get those weapons off hair trigger alert immediately putin and trump could do that but the broader perspective that you're talking about we should be friends and there have been times when we have reached out to each other we can talk about one thousand nine hundred forty two when franklin roosevelt talked about the four policemen and us and the soviet union and china and britain policing the world to create peace and stability we could talk about nine hundred forty five before roosevelt died we can talk about what would have happened in one nine hundred forty five if henry wallace had become president as he should'

that the missile be dropped on the mountain in afghanistan, the last area was twice the diameter of hiroshimar nagasaki, so that is three times the damage, and it is nonnuclear, so i think they should be thinking about the capabilities of the united states, or delivering to the united states, and it would be far more massive than it north korea could deliver, but i don't want to send a taunt over to them, i say instead, that the north korean people are not going to get information to rise up, so the best thing that can happen is for china to understands that there is a lot at risk it is time for them to intervene, and hopefully our master to china can convey that message. >> julie: thank you very much, will have to leave it there, sir, thank you very much for taking time in this busy week for you, thank you, republican efforts to undo obamacare have a field, so is compromise in the cards on capitol hill? that is the question we are going to debate to that with the panel, coming up in a moment the citi® double cash card does. earn 1% cash back when you buy and 1% as you pay. double means doubl

i think of the movie hiroshima. you're seeing the story from four different perspectives. to have a central repository, i don't think that's possible. and frankly i don't think the first amendment would allow for it. >> right. question from this side of the room. >> i just wanted to say this goes back to the issue of revenue, though. and you know what kind of value are credible news sources capturing from this digital disruption that's happening in media. and you'll see that there's five companies that right now are getting -- most of them are not providers of news that's originally done for themselves. it's the facebooks of the world, google,ing a g ing aggregators capturing 65% of digital news right now. and the rest is being devoted to organizations that actually are providing the reporters on the ground that are paying those salaries to cover those important stories. so it's something important to kind of think about, is how do you bring about the revenue that's needed to cover the important stories that are credible and that are fact based. >> and one thing, gentleman

i think of the movie hiroshima an incident is replayed from four different perspectives. that is the way journalists work. we're coming at it from a lot of different perspectives. we never actually get to the of what happened. we try to get there. we don't actually get there. centralave a repository, i don't think that's possible and frankly i don't first amendment would allow for it. >> question from this side of the room. i just wanted to say, let's go back to the issue of revenue and what kind of value are capturingews sources from this digital disruption that's happening in media and see that there's five companies that right now are which -- moste of providers ofot originally done for themselves. it's the facebooks of the world, aggregators that are capturing. of digital ad revenues right now. to the rest is being devoted organizations that actually are providing the reporters on the ground, that are paying those salaries to cover those important stories. toit's something important kind of think about is how how you -- how do you bring about the revenue that's needed

consequences of our technology that we've developed that we haven't fully -- smack i read about these hiroshima who are working with the survivors and their individual person-to-person context where there are people who are taking the role where they assigned themselves to an individual who survived that and talk to them and learn everything they know about it to the best they can to carry on the memory. it was very hearty description of people that are trying to keep them alive because it's so important that we not forget it. >> about the last survivors with the direct memory passing into the state the museums which are great places and it's the role the museum to own time. it would be highly i need to mention the exhibit called the time that we've been building the last seven years and it opened upstairs and 779 days.
