we're not imperial japan. we have our own morality. we have our own way of coming to decisions, and since it was not necessary to use the bomb to end the war, it is inconceivable that we would use such a weapon. atomic weapons are beyond the pale. atomic weapons are weapons that can destroy human, all human life on earth. we must work to make sure that these weapons do not become part of the arsenals of the world. now, i ask you, if nuclear weapons had been introduced to the world as being a pariah weapon rather than a magic bullet weapon that was used twice on what oppenheimer later called in reversing himself an essentially defeated enemy, would things have been different? i don't know. you don't know, but we all can have our opinions about that, and i submit to you that the most important thing that i have said to you tonight is to put that thought in your mind to think about, to discuss with your children and grandchildren, and to talk about the whole decision-making process that leads from point a to point b and finally to a nucle

governing party reinforce the sad reality that women can be seen but not heard in japan. yes so it really did feed a lot of headlines that now women can be enter these spaces but still can't talk in and there's nothing inherently wrong or bad about a political process that requires that people be observers 1st before they can be full participants but i think the problem is that this is a. a promise long deferred originally in 2015 the l.d.p. under the administration set a goal of 30 percent of women in executive positions in japan and here we are 6 years later and so it's a little too little too late yeah that's an important point to make because the japanese lympics minister moto there was a woman now says she intends to accept the job of leading the tokyo 2020 m. pick games but many people are chelsea will see this as just window dressing by the establishment i'm not real change. yes yes i think there are a few dangers here i think that actually since 2014 we've seen a lot of window dressing tokenism a lot of rhetoric about letting women shine but again these are polici

this brings me to the final point of japan. the most important pushback that we get and we have dedicated an entire chapter for what we are very proud of it is brand-new to the debate as well as a contribution from chapter four. the main point is when you have an aging population and falling interest rates. however keep in mind japan aged at a time when china was disciplining the entire world. japan had no way to stop the disinflation that charles talked about at his borders so he imported that disinflation and that trend of falling interest rates look at that asset price it has not done badly. look at the chart this is the original work to make data which is the ministry of finance and we have gone into come to the conclusion that japanese corporate did not behave as if they were encumbered but they realize the rest of the world was flush with labor it was cheaper north asia and they increase employment and activities in almost a linear piece of other than being crippled to take into global democracy and the other two charts t

so japan in turn. will have a non-aggression pact in april 1941 with russia and that will allow russia to take its troops back again and notice the timing it couldn't have come as a worse time to hitler and it's indicative that these axes mussolini hitler tojo and to a lesser extent stalin don't trust any of any one of the other and they are not at all integrated as we'll see as a case with england the united states. so in germany's way of thinking everything is turned out. well the german people didn't sign up for all this they signed up. because they bought the propaganda that they had never. lost world war i they had surrendered 70 miles here. in the belgium and parts of france. they were stabbed in the back by communist in jews are so hitler and the fascist and nazi party told them and they were treated very poorly at versailles. it's a very bad idea to be harsh in word and then soft indeed and that's what the versailles treaty. did it humiliated the germans without affecting their ability to come

ambassador to japan. host: bill hagerty, republican of tennessee, thank you for giving us your time. sen. hagerty: nice to be with you. host: you grew up in gallatin, tennessee, what was that like for you? sen. hagerty: a small farm in rural tennessee, in the county seat. my mom was a hard-working career schoolteacher and my dad was in the road construction business. we had a small farm where i raised cattle and pigs as a kid. i was an eagle scout, learn the value of hard work at an early age and work my way through college shoveling asphalt on road crews. work is no stranger to me. after i graduated, from college here in tennessee, i attended vanderbilt university, my life changed significantly. i was hired by the boston consulting group and what on to have a career i could have never dreamed of as a small town kid from gallatin, tennessee. host: what was that career? sen. hagerty: boston consulting group had offices all over the world and i want it working on five continents for large fortune 500 ties c

the coming war with japan and japan as the rising new superpower and of course we saw that never happened and i had i made fun of the idea in my classes at the time because i said you know japan had a major economic bubble japan did not have military aspirations to rival the united states and so forth but of course in terms of driving the budget at the pentagon it was it was something that was worth focusing on for the propaganda value and i think china has much the same role today as you said china is not a military threat to the united states today the united states of the overwhelming see in air power it's likely to remain that way for at least a generation as 2050 it's hard to tell and it would partly depend on whether china feels they need military force but what's very clear is china's very successful in business globally and so i think it's the business rivalry that actually matters is the real substance behind the arguments about national security it's a fact that chinese telephone service and internet services are vastly cheaper than americans and therefore the global competitor

>> it's understandable from japan's point of view because japan was caught on the back foot with the87 dreamliner when the batteries were overheating. and japan wasn't on the forefront in terms of dealing with that. so my guess is having seen what happened with the 787, and then having seen what happened with the 737 maxes when there was first one accident then another before the regulators stepped in, they're saying, well, hang on a second here, there have been several incidents over the last couple of years which have led to assume. for instance, the united airlines 777 200, it was out of honolulu san francisco route where the engine exploded in very familiar circumstances. it looks similar. then back in december. now you've got this particular incident. i think it's a stretch to try and conflate this with what happened in amsterdam today with the 747. it may be a connection, it may not be. i think that's a stretch. but what i think you can say is that a body of views is building up. and it's not the aircraft as much as the engine. the prattin whitney engine. we know that the ntsb

at the time of world war ii so japan then emerged as a world power and as a threat. in 1941 japan attacked pearl harbor martial law was declared by 1600 or 4pm on december the 7th. on december by december the 8th civic leaders teachers successful first generation, japanese-americans landowners, and you know even judo instructors were arrested detained and considered for deportation. then this is where you know, my family history becomes a little divergent or or kind of interesting. so my paternal grandfather was a teacher on a religious leader. in pahoa hawaii, which is a small village and still is a small village on the big island of hawaii. he already had six us-born children. and the youngest two which included my dad were still dependents. but because he was a religious leader and a civic leader in the community. he was considered a threat and was scheduled for deportation. when my uncle my dad's older brother chose to join the army. and movement of troops took a higher priority. they the they reversed that decision and my father my grandfather was then sent to a

that was a major portion of japan's strength. whatever chance that japan had of winning that pacific war probably disappeared in 1940. sorry 1942. to that really added to the painting humiliation of pearl harbor into the big victory at midway. it is a big ocean. that is a relatively brief time. the war would go on for over three years from june of 1942 through august of 1945. officers across the world realized that the war was over. they take in this colossal gamble to launch a war on the united states, a company country whose academy was ten times larger than theirs. on what could they do but now but hang tough and hope for a miracle. i think that is why japanese officers in particular were doing. it was often couched in terms of loyalty to the emperor. , we can't let they are pamper down. i think it was more about the corporate culture. they found no way out other than to hang tough and to realize that it was a big ocean, maybe something would happen. maybe the americans would tire of the struggle. maybe we japanese could take

pfizer has a contract to supply japan with enough doses for 72 million people.ut ora recent poll conducted by nhk shows almost 30% of respondents do not want the jab. data from clinical trials and vaccination drives outside japan show there have been rare cases of severe allergic reactions. ministry officials plan to monitor about 10,000 medical workers who will be vaccinated first for any side effects. japan's tally of new coronavirus cases stood at 1,300 on friday, a drop of almost 400 from the previous day. but officials say the capacity of hospital beds remains under pressure. >>> with coronavirus vaccinations under way in many countries, we're learning more about their effectiveness. one leading israeli health care provider now says the pfizer vaccine is estimated to be 93% effective seven to eight days after receiving the second dose maccabee health care services says of the 523,000 people it has immunized twice, only 544 tested positive for the virus a week or more later. that's just over 0.1%. by comparison, it found about 3% of people in an unvaccinated

largely over japan. and their husbanding their resources and in the same way as the united states is moving. from the european theater of operations and starting to planning what operation downfall which is the plan to invade japan what that's going to look like. it's staggering. this is what they've got planned? for august in august of 1945 the first wave operational olympic will take place. in the beginning of november 1945 and it will be comprised of about four core of troops to land and the southern part of japan and try to fight north and then in march of 1946 you'll bring in two field armies. and they'll land close to tokyo to try to drive home the invasion and so from truman's perspective what his military advisors are offering him. is a blockade an air campaign and an invasion that's going to start in november. and then a second wave in march of the next year. and they're not sure exactly when it's going to end. but they have to drive home to the japanese that they are defeated. they don't want t

it's important to know that the japan airlines, the japan fleet a & a and japan airlines fleet, subsequent to the events at the end of this past year, the uncontained failure that had occurred there, they went through the pratt & whitney prescripted inspection. and it was prior to that event, and yet they still had the uncontained failure. so the question is how do you properly inspect these fan blades? they're hollow, they're big. efe of them weighs about 30 pounds and they crack from the inside out. so what the inspections will do and what they will reveal and how they will do them differently this time in order to find any potential failures are open questions right now. >> so you have the inspection stepping up on these hollow fan blades. what does that tell you, peter, about the nature of what happened in colorado yesterday, the nature of the problem that we saw? >> well, miles has underscored it. they crack from inside. and the ntsb inspected the pratt & whitney facility in hartford, connecticut, back in 2008 and was highly critical not only of the way in which these inspections were

the final point of japan. this is the most important pushback we get and we have dedicated on entire chapter some of the work we have done we are very proud of because it's brand new to the debate as is our contribution from chapter 4 on caring. and the main point from gm is when you have an aging population you'll see low growth, low inflation and following interest rates but japan aged at a time when the rest of the world was swimming in labor and chinese was disinflate thing entire world. ... it is ported the trend of falling interest rates. and indeed if you look after the price japan is not them badly pretty look at the lower left-hand chart this is some of the original work we've done looking after 20 years of making tenant which is the economics and trade. we pulled the reports and have gone in and actually come to the conclusion that japanese corporate said not behave as if they were encumbered. and said they realized the rest of the world is flush with labor. labor was cheap in north asia they increas

any vaccine that is used in japan has to be tested in japan first.accine has been approved yet. we are expecting approval for the pfizer biontech vaccine in the coming days. the vaccinations should start with key medical personnel sometime around the middle of this month. possibly the 17th of february. after that, they are going to move onto the elderly population and only then will they get on to the general population. people who are under 65. what has been interesting politically is the slowness has annoyed some people, the voters. the prime minister has been seeing his support rate fall dramatically the past few months. he has appointed the person who is currently japan's most popular politician to head the effort. he is currently the most popular option to take over as leader from the prime minister whose term ends in september. that will be interesting thing to see, how the rep. brady: plays out. a lot of it will depend on how well the vaccine rollout goes. paul: bloomberg's politics reporter in tokyo. the lunar new year holiday kicks off this

so, the bombs are dropped on japan on august 6th.d on august 9th, hiroshima on the sixth, three days later nagasaki. why three days? originally, it was a five day spread. a rare the reason for the five-day spread was that it was expected to be a very complicated process for arming the second bomb, the plutonium bomb. but the scientists are very gong hall where the planes to attack japan took off from, and when colonel tibbetts is plane comes back after its successful raid on hiroshima, the scientists say we might be able to do this in four days, now that we've have had the experience with the first bomb, and he says can you do it in three days because i that weather is expected to come in? it and that is in effect would happened. that three-day spread, that decision is made by gung ho scientists and air force, army air force personnel on the island of tinian. it's not a truman decision. it's not a harry stimson decision. it's not a general groves decision. it's a battlefield decision. so, three days. after atomic bombings, with effec

this brings me to the final point of japan .his is the most important pushback we get and we have dedicated an entire chapter all the work we have done. were very proud of it for his friend into the debate as is the confirmations from chapter four on caring for it in the main point that everyone takes away from japan is when you've got an aging population, you will see bolling interest rate and the growth . however, keep in mind that japan aged at a time with the rest of the world was swimming in labor credit and china was just inflating the entire world. what i'm trying to say is that japan had no way to stop this disinflation that china and affected charles talked about and its borders. select the rest of the world, and imported that inflation. important uptrend falling interest rate and indeed if you look up after that first price area, japan has not done badly. so if you look at the lower left-hand side chart, the sum of the original work done. twenty years of data. this ministry of finance for economics and trade . in the p

japan, the first act. but, you would be hard pressed to believe they are going to be the only country to move forward with the idea of grounding domestic airlines that operate this boeing 777 aircraft with the pratt and whitney pw 4000 series engine. here in japan, there are two -- two air lines that have those planes in their flight. japan airlines and nippon. they operate 19 and 13 planes, respectively. now, the japan transport ministry has not issued a timeline regarding how long this suspension will take place. but they did say, essentially, that safety concerns and studies will need to be addressed, before that suspension is lifted. robyn. >> and there is, also, some suggestion that there was a concerning incident involving some of this equipment back in december. tell us more about that. yeah, robyn. japan is unfortunately familiar with the problems that boeing, you know, experienced just -- just yesterday in -- in denver. it happened, late, last year. december 4th. there was a plane flying from okin

is now having repercussions in japan and what are you hearing. of course the foot is here have asked the 2 men line carriers japan airlines and the only point. to land there all aircrafts of this type which has the same engine we understand that john has 13 airplanes of this kind and has 19 and they all have been grounded now and there are careful inspection as. john has ordered the announced that the last 13 planes of triple 7 are going to be the decommissioned under tired by 2022 hours one of them was involved in an accident in december over. the island of okinawa they had. been then had to make an emergency landing in airports because the cover of the engine the wind. went off and apparently hit the tail of the airplane costs about $28.00 centimeters a hole in it and that caused their bent to make an emergency landing and so be much affected by the latest developments but. they already have 152050 airplanes of triple $7.10 of them are now going to be. they're going to hold their operation so the company is operating around 300 airplanes so thi

he had no idea that japan was going to attack pearl harbor. he was delighted because he didn't have a navy and he was delighted because he had been brought up that oblivion came from two front wars. he was not in a two front war and now both britain and america were in two front wars and he was just convinced. oh my god. they have a two-front war and the japanese had the great navy. i don't have to worry about a navy now. they'll tie the british navy down. they'll they'll try the american navy down. everything's great. let's declare warm and finishing them up. we're still december 7th. they're about 30 miles outside of moscow. so it was all optimism but you're absolutely right had the tojo and mussolini and hitler had the relationship. of roosevelt and churchill even stalin that would have been quite frightening because the axis had complementary strengths the japanese navy the japanese sources of resources the german military on land even italy had a very sophisticated navy and air force had it been given a sphere of operations had the german

at this moment ok what does it also see chelsea about japan because you know when we think about japan particularly if you're an outsider as i am i've only been to japan a couple of times you think about technology you think about cars that people want to buy you think about punctuality you think about things that are well built using technology and it does what it says on the tin and yet when it comes to the country's attitude towards women your view and ideas will get in a time machine and go back 506070 years because the percentage representation of women who are clearly very well educated is so low. oh well as a syrian i would actually i would actually say rather than japan being stuck in the past the fifty's and sixty's in japan in many ways could be very progressive and maybe perhaps ahead of the time regarding gender equality in generalisations but i will say that. what what seems to have worked during the years of japan incorporated the higher economic growth here the bubble years of the seventy's and eighty's. whatever seems to have worked it seems like those who are still in
