you know what that means you know what every time i take my students out to study abroad class to hiroshima or nagasaki and i found myself repeatedly writing down the same caption at the atomic bomb museum in hiroshima and that was that by nine hundred eighty five the world had reached the destructive capability of one point four seven million hiroshima bombs we had one and a half million hiroshima bombs in one nine hundred eighty five we had seventy thousand nuclear weapons we have a modicum of sanity has been restored since then we're down to fourteen thousand five hundred nuclear weapons ok seventy thousand let me let me get this i go to michael mauler let me go to michael before we go to the break here one of the critics forty seconds or one of the criticisms there is of the there's a growing perception that the united states is being grossly unilateralist in its foreign policy and not considering the impact of its policies around the world thirty seconds michael before we go to the break. good peter as you know the united states has concerns about russian compliance with the i.m.f. but

we have one and a half million hiroshima bombs in one nine hundred eighty five we have seventy thousand nuclear weapons we have a modicum of sanity has been restored since then we're down to fourteen thousand five hundred nuclear weapons ok let me let me go to michael moore let me go to michael before we go to the break here one of the critics forty seconds here one of the criticisms ears of the there is a growing perception that the united states is being grossly unilateralist in its foreign policy and not considering the impact of its policies around the world thirty seconds michael before we go to the break. yet peter as you know the united states has concerns about russian compliance with the i.m.f. you know the but i think a better response on the american side would have been to say let's let's withdraw after a year or two if we can't resolve those disagreements rather than to just make the decision also we have concerns and we have concerns about china and we should try to bring china into some kind of restrictions as well and i know russia has concerns about various neighbors th

who've been whipping up a storm on social media for their failed attempts to get into a museum in hiroshimagoing on for a few days, weeks, or even months, but two years — ever since the museum held a cat photography exhibition in 2016. most probably they could relate. and thatis most probably they could relate. and that is trending. as part of the bbc‘s beyond fake news series, today we're looking at thailand. with one of the highest rates of social media use in the world, the ruling militaryjunta is worried about the spread of fake news. it has amended an already draconian law against computer crimes. but as the bbc has discovered, the law is being used against critics of the military. let us hope he doesn't change. that isa let us hope he doesn't change. that is a look at thailand for our series beyond fake news. the former american first lady, michelle obama, has begun an international tour to promote her new memoir, becoming. in the book, mrs obama reveals that she had a miscarriage and used in vitro fertilisation, or ivf, to conceive both her daughters. she describes how she sought cou

. >> they had the big one in 1883, it was 13,000 times bigger the heesh sheem hiroshima bomb.ently it grows 15 feet a year. >> pretty intense videos. >> i volunteer you to throw in the pepsi. here you go. >> it is that time of year where families are starting to get together and maybe there might be that relative you haven't seen in a while. in ohana, she's happy to see somebody, specifically grandma. >> who is that? >> whoa! whoa! >> i think we just shorted that monkey. >> is that grandma? where have you been? >> that's grandma diane. and look at ohana. ohana has the other monkey on her back. that's squander. this is squander's youtube channel, but ohana is the star of the day. >> how are you? >> ohana, as you can see, is a capushian monkey. stephanie owns ohana and stephanie says he's been with her family since july. this is his third home. he basically loves everybody, but especially, as you can see right here, grandma diane. >> clearly, there's some bribery going on here. >> or the best hugs. because that's what this monkey is getting along with zander. >> i love little za

cumulative amount now traps as much extra heat energy every day as would be released by 500,000 hiroshima-classig planet, but that is an enormous amount of energy. that's why the temperatures are going up, the water cycle's being disrupted. and the fires. look at the fires in california just recently. in south africa, cape town almost ran out of water. >> trevor: right, because of the drought that lasted forever. but i wish to challenge you on some of your facts, because there was a very famous scientist who lives in the white house who said this today. ( laughter ) he said-- he said, "the oceans are very small, and our air and water are at record clean." ( laughter ) >> yeah. yeah. yeah. you know, it's really significant, trevor, that donald j. trump is now the face of climate denial. and there are those who are still giving him their loyalty and trust. and i get that, believe me. but the vast majority of americans, not to mention all around the world, are really kind of-- they've had it with the constant craziness, if you want to call it that way. >> trevor: i think we do want to call it that

more people died during the battle of okinawa than all those killed during the atomic bombings of hiroshimay had to keep the u.s. military forces as long as possible in okinawa. so that they could prepare defense to protect mainland japan, you know? so, ever since that battle of okinawa. okinawan people say we were sort of, uh, what do you call it? >> anthony: sacrificed? >> masahide: yes, mm-hmm. >> anthony: masahide ota is a former governor of okinawa. in 1945 he was a young conscript in the japanese imperial army. he fought hard and bravely against the allies until he saw japanese soldiers murdering okinawans for food and water. and his faith melted away. gettouan is a private home turned restaurant. serving very traditional okinawan dishes. in honor of their outspoken former governor the restaurant has prepared a dish typically served to royals and v.i.ps in what was once the ryukyu kingdom. it's called tundabun, after the lacquered dish the multi bite-sized portions are presented in. >> masahide: let's eat. >> anthony: that's very good. there's some squid. swordfish wrapped in seaweed

demonstrateds in hiroshima, but they were fast on their own way in hydrogen capability. and remember the british produced the only jet bombers in the world. so you start marrying thermonuclear power with jet bombers and one's talking about a pretty impressive force. at the same time , the royal navy is exercising some of the largest naval maneuvers in history. and with the death of king george the sixth in february 1952 truman still being in office, the u.s. senate immediately went into recess. british politics came to a halt. it gave churchill more time to get his administration in gear. curiously there were ang loconservetives worldwide. the deck in tiran had went to mass in tiran. which was on stalin avenue. the egyptian fervently nationalist leadership went to the ang locathedral in cairo. in deli, narrow and his entire family went to the british cathedral there. and of course here in washington, truman and his family went to a mass at the national cathedral. the passing of george the sixth was significant. queen elizabeth the second acclaimed a new era for a new gen

hiroshima was 15 kilotons, this one was 22. the soviets were better at bombs than we were. the north koreans invaded south korea and they did it using soviet tanks. it made it clear to truman that the soviets were willing to engage by proxy. his security men took a second sub-basement two levels of the house. foras only going to be used storage. this memo shows up. here are two euphemisms. one of them is that -- this is from admiral dennis and. -- admiral denison. that they were going to great protective measures and protective characteristics. what does that mean? exactly what you think, a bomb shelter. this gets tricky. abomb shelter is still sensitive installation and we don't know much about it. we should not. what we know is historical. we know that in august of 1950, he was designing a shelter under the east terrace. this connected the mansion to the east wing. this happened to be the location .f a bomb shelter it is a logical extension to believe they appropriated that and expanded that. one thing is clear, they are building something here. sitting -- if truman was s

now imagine four hiroshima-sized atomic bombs exploded every second, every second. that is the equivalent of the excess heat going into our oceans because of climate change, because of our carbon emissions. more than four atomic bombs worth of excess heat energy is being absorbed by the oceans every second of every day of every year. that is a massive amount of heat energy and adding it to the oceans has consequences. the most direct consequence of all that energy being pumped into the seas obviously is increased water temperatures. global average ocean surface temperature is up around 0.8 degrees celsius or 1.5 degrees fahrenheit since preindustrial times. that is enough to throw off the delicate balance of ocean conditions that marine creatures rely on to survive. and within that global ocean warming are extreme ocean temperature spikes around the world. these marine heat waves in the ocean were first identified and characterized in 2011. this is a newly described phenomenon that climate change has brought to our seas. although marine heat waves were first identif

this is after the bombing of hiroshima. toward the end of the speech everyone is glued to. there is a huge impact. something very big has happened with the war. that was enough to pull many of them away from work. at the end of this he mentions oak ridge. people are then just flabbergasted. then there started to be press coverage. there was a secret place they were in. some people were very uncomfortable. actually using that language that they thought they could use now. other people, there was one scientist who drove up and down the street shouting uranium. he felt like he was allowed to say it now. everybody's reaction -- language was a big part of this. people were just trying to process the information. for a lot of people it was there has been a really big development in the war. we were a part of it. a lot of the images -- what i found fascinating about these people is that they lived in two completely different worlds. a world without nuclear weapons and a world with nuclear weapons. i have a whole catalog of images and pictures and ideas. all of these things. there

hiroshima basically said that the west is using the Ãwar against us since were nearly use the hebertrevolution is nothing else but the covert operation of the american. what we should try to do is we should try to have operations of our own mirror what we are doing. then what you are asking them. in the time of spending i have seen most senior russians in last year's them trump. from this point you can ask them, can you imagine there was something spontaneous? can you theoretically imagine people can go on the streets without being paid by george soros of the american government. and one of the most interesting things that i have heard was first, yes, we can't imagine. but we cannot imagine this also because if people really get on the streets when they are pitstop with the governments why they have not been down the streets from russia in 1990s and not in the streets of russia because they were on your site. this is extremely cynical view of the world. this makes the world look so consistent and so transparent. the most difficult thing you can argue with the russian policymakers is

hiroshima is the success of our nuclear policy. not a failure of the nuclear policy. that said, i firmly agree that the nation should continue to seek to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our military strategy and policy. and the obama administration made a decision not to go toward that. in 2010. it should still be an objective to reduce the role. and in my view, there's still substantial room for reductions in numbers while sustaining a robust triad to deter nuclear attack. on the question of conventional forces of all varieties. more is better. stipulated. better is more better. okay. quality is more important than quantity. when you get into not just strategic competition but the potential for battle and the selection of the capabilities that are able to survive a strike whether nuclear or nonnuclear, to have command and control that's resilient and that can provide a punishing response to deny the aims of the adversary and or oppose unacceptable costs. that should be the principle focus of the u.s. military. and i would put nonnuclear capabilities as a very h

the fact that no nuclear weapons have been used in anger since -- 1945, 1990 hiroshima, nagasaki is the success of our nuclear policy, not a failure of our nuclear policy. that said, i firmly agree with frank that nations should continue to see to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our military strategy and policy in that we should aim toward a no first use or sole purpose. the obama administration made a decision not to go toward that in 2010. it should still be an objective to reduce the role, and in my view there is still substantial room for reductions in numbers while sustaining a robust triad to deter nuclear attacks. on the question of conventional forces of all varieties, more is better. stipulated, better is more better. ok? quality is more important than quantity when you get into a strategic competition but the potential for battle, and the selection of the capabilities that are able to survive first strike, whether nuclear or nonnuclear, to havecommand and control that is resilient and can provide a punishing response to deny the aims of the adversary and/or impose unacce
