. >> i landed on iwo jima on august 6, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on hiroshima.spinning. a pilot came up to me and said, we dropped one bomb, wiped out a city. i said, what are you drinking? i want some. but it was true. then on august 9, 1945, the second bomb was dropped on nagasaki. we thought the war was over. we would not fly any more missions. at that point in time i had flown with 15 guys who were killed. i never thought about them as being dead. they were transferred, we would see them again someday. and we were called to a briefing on august 13 with 100-some-plus pilots and told we're going to fly a final mission, another mission. someone asked our c.o., why are we going to japan again? he said, the japs are negotiating, but there's no movement. we have to go and keep them honest. but they're going to broadcast the code word utah to abort the mission. we hear that and we won't go to japan. when that was said, phil schaumberg, 19 years old, leaned over to me and said, captain, if we go on this mission, i'm not coming back. i said, what are you talking abou

result —— as a result of the increasing cases they first withdrew big cities like tokyo, osaka and hiroshimatogether until mid—january, so people are not being offered these steep discounts to travel domestically. they are not prevented from travelling, they arejust prevented from travelling, they are just not encouraged to do so. vaccines are are just not encouraged to do so. vaccines are on are just not encouraged to do so. vaccines are on the way, we are seeing them roll out here in europe. what ijapan's plans for a vaccine rollout? it is a bit slow here. the vaccines which have been shown to be effective and which have rolled out in places like the us and the uk have yet to be regulatory approved here, reports say that will happen sometime in february, but that means the first tranche of medical workers and people over 65 may not get their vaccines until late february or early march and then of course others will get them after that. thanks very much for being with us. israel has entered its third national lockdown to combat the covid—i9 pandemic. tough restrictions are in place, with fi

fashion because we would have been called on the conflict of the nuclear weapons that we dropped in hiroshima. but there was no question that the japanese had dropped all kinds of evil on china before the world war the japanese were the world leaders in this technology and part of the story you are revealing or confirming is that the united states was use the japanese in some fashion that it is a global monstrous story. and they did a beautiful job telling the story is an indispensable book and i'm sorry that she's gone and should be an incredible witness in this covid moment. because the wife who was also a major figure in this book i called both of them because it's so important. so was she chronicled was the fact so there was a desperate attempt to get those warfare experts as possible so that the russians decided the war crimes trial so they held their own war crimes trial is everything people are singing a book it is an absolute transcript of a people actually said and the japanese scientist said. >> it was just an amazing book actually but the result of it is the russians were upset and

i proceeded with my jokes and levity and satire and i bombed like a b-29 over hiroshima. reagan'sing why do the even show up if he is going to do that. i am no lincoln. --coln was a friend of line mine and i am no a red lincoln. [applause] said hardy luck relieves you. we are in the middle of a pandemic. the horrors of 9/11. how do you fire up after a tragic event like that. it is tough. livedincoln himself through the most traumatic. in ourmatic period history as a nation. in the attempt to break up the union, the civil war, and life was more difficult back in those days in terms of survival itself. there was not a mcdonald's or starbucks at every block. self survival was different. and this goes more to the point in terms of it is not so much humor but using wit lincoln did in terms of slavery when he said whenever i hear anyone arguing for slavery i feel a strong impulse to see him try it on him personally. he spoke directly to that issue as to what the morality of it was without having to go through a long dissertation of it. ie times are tough today and recognize tha

it's towns like this one with landscapes reminiscent of hiroshima, that are at the heart of azerbaijan'sces towards ethnic-armen. when the first karabakh war ended in 1994, armenian forces took control not just of their own enclave, but seven rrounding districts that had previously been populated by azerbaijanis. negotiations over these areas continued for decades afterwards but armenians never allowed the azerbaijanresidents to return. instead ey leveled these cities, picking them apart for raw materials and turned the surrounding lands into a vtwt minefield n themselves and the rest of azerbaijan. aghdam is one of two districts armenian fors have handed back to azerbaijani control so far under the russia-brokered armistice. thonly building left intac here is the central mosque. all of these soldiers herear for the mostare from aghdam, this very region that we're standing in right now. most of them have never seen this area before because it's been held by ethnic armenian forces until just a couple of days ago. as this place is rebuilt we will move here. o>> they kill mothers and sists

it's sort of helping whitewash the bad odor created by hiroshima and nagasaki. the general public was being encouraged to look on the bright side, so to speak, by demonstrating that there was this enthusiasm, burgeoning all over the world was a propaganda or was it policy? the answer is it was both. it was at the same time, an effort to influence public perceptions to change the way people talked about nucular energy. and the other hand, it was a serious genuine initiative to spread what they saw as the benefits of atomic power throughout the world. the potential of civil nuclear power suddenly was seen as a global beacon of progress. every country involved wanted to take part in the development of this, this new gleaming future of atomic energy kind of, i mean, a clear power. it was one of the technologies that distinguished you as a high tech country, rather than an average ones. i'm jewish. if you were a young, scientist or engineer graduating college in the 1950 s. in the united states of america, you are in a pretty sweet place. the scientists had stepped f

perspectives from hiroshima and nagasaki. i spent a couple of weeks in japan in +kd"wfebruary 2019.d the privilege of interviewing the mayors of those two cities as well as many of the survivors. it's quite a mix of those accounts plus an article written for the wall street journal written by george schultz, william perry and sam none. a counter part article written by gorbachev, who strike the same thing about the threat of the war and the manus of nuclear deterrent. anyway, it's been kind of a classic. we hope this will be a benefit to students and of interest to the casual reader as well. i guess my bottom line is that, just like the manhattan project, it was a great work of human collaboration. the making of the park, so many people got involved. it would not have happened without all three communities doing at their darndest to make it happen. there is still need to increase public access and work on destroying the facilities. obviously, the decision to drop the bomb is still controversial and always will be. it's a complex story. it's a complex legacy. its story will need to b
