but the truth is they did get a huge dose, not just externally, which is what the hiroshima and nagasakiurvivors got, but they lot a got of internal exposure from breathing in the radio active. also the drinking water, which was contaminated. and one sailor he went in to be tested and it went off scale. so we can't estimate but they certainly got high dozes. i agree with dr. gayle, but shrinking of an arm muscle would not be related to radiation. >> we asked our community, we are going to take a step back, could the melt down have been prevented, was it foreseeable, we asked our community, foreseeable yes, even i predicted it on my t.v. show before it happened. and amy says any country, with a nuclear reactor on a fault line should have strict safety guidance. greg was the truck sema melt down foreseeable. toe the first question, it was foreseeable, they knew it when they built the plant, when they started surveying the sight. and about a decade before, they were presented with then waying report, that said they are overdue for a tsunami. not high enough to prevent the tsunami they were

numerous reports of rainfall accumulation as much as 200 millimeters across tokushima and in koji and nagasakirea. and out here we're looking at additional amounts of 200 millimeters on top of the 200 we have seen in the past 24 hours. not a good news. not only could lead to secondary disasters but the suspension of the search operations in hiroshima could prolong. we are looking at 100 millimeters of rainfall in hokkaido as well. but the system is slow moving. so we're not seeing a lot of precipitation. we'll be precipitation free for today in and around tokyo. now to europe this is a cutoff low we have been talking about for a few days now is pounding similar locations and due to the distance of the jet stream all the way here this is left alone and is going to be taking several while -- several days to actually disperse. so more rain to pound here as well as thunderstorms. meanwhile really pleasant, paris and berlin, nice to be out and about over the weekend. i'll leave you now for your extended forecast. >>> and that concludes this edition of "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. t

the picture coming out of nagasaki this morning. ferry services have been suspended. and authorities are advising people to watch out for floods, swollen rivers, and fierce winds. again, heavy rain is anticipated for many areas of japan, as we go in to thursday. now, because of this low pressure system, southerly winds will flow in so the mountains facing the south will see especially heavy rainfall. we're expecting about 250 millimeters of rain for tokai region. 200 millimeters in kinki which is enough to cause flooding and landslides. and tohoku 120 mill meters. the peak of her very rain will occur in western japan today, while central japan will see the stormiest conditions by tomorrow morning. northern japan will see stormy weather as we go into tomorrow afternoon. on top of heavy rainfall, there's a concern for tornadoes, as well as gusting winds as we go into thursday. so please watch out for that. and in the south, we have a tropical depression, this is engulfing saipan and guam bringing some isolated thunderstorms and more stormy conditions are expected as we

the bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki caused terrible destruction and the surrender of japan. nuclear weapons have never been used since, except as a threat to prevent further war, not with the japanese, but with the soviet russians. one of those threats was here in the arizona desert. it's now a fascinating museum. >> this site was built because it was in the 1960s during the cold war, where we were sort of at war with the former soviet union. >> so when the soviets aimed their nuclear missiles at the united states, we aimed missiles back at them, missiles called icbms. "icbm" stands for intercontinental ballistic missile. that means it could fly from our continent to another continent carrying a nuclear warhead. one kind of icbm was the titan ii. it was a giant rocket kept armed and ready to launch in an underground chamber called a silo. in all, there were 54 silos spread across uninhabited areas of the u.s. they're no longer in use, but you can take a tour of one, thanks to the arizona aerospace foundation. >> well, nicole, first of all, welcome to launch complex 571-7. >>

want to take out our very important history of slavery and dropping atomic bombs on hiroshima and nagasakiecause it portrays in the u.s. in a negative way. >> it is wrong and communist. >> the president of jeffco board of administration and he is my guest today. good to see you, mr. witt. what are you try doing for the curriculum for ap history in jefferson county? >> to be clear, gretchen, there's been no proposal in jeffco to modify the curriculum in ap history. this discussion stemmed from a proposal at the last board meeting to sit a committee that would help us review curriculum. in colorado, the constitution places the responsibility for curriculum on the local school boards. and to look at curriculum and make sure they are reviewing it and the reason ap history came up at all in that discussion is that it is timely. ap u.s. history was very recently completely rewritten, framework substantially changed and it is our responsibility to make certain we are reviewing new curriculum and determining whether or not it is appropriate. >> so i want a lightning round with you of some accusati

except in nagasaki and i don't think we're going to see that again. >> without combat troops on the groundoment, at this time, you see little hope of this -- of the president's wish to destroy and degrade isis permanently. >> ma'am, even with combat troops on the ground, we've proven we cannot defeat these people. >> we just give up? >> we let them kill each other. we are so incompetent in terms of conducting a foreign policy and military operations -- >> but there's still threats to the homeland. >> right. close the southern border. the only thing we could have done after 9/11 to secure the american people with some degree of confidence was to close the southern border. mr. obama, mr. clinton, mr. bush, had cut valted the united states as a bad ground. we're going to see american combat troops operating in north america. because we don't know who's here. we don't know what they're up to. we have no way to defend ourselves. it is a tragic situation. and a tragic lack of leadership from both parties. and underappreciation of the importance of protecting america first. >> sobering forecast,

and i think nagasaki and tokyo bombings would be considered unjust.t seems to me that that might be a validation of the italian air doctrine of terrorizing populations in wars. but we don't have any concorde with the vatican. and we have no national church. but there are other churches like the russian federation. and so the man who developed export and ak-47 and that sort of thing, before his death, on the one hand he expressed no regret oest fact that jihad is using weapons. and saying that politicians were to blame, not him. and if you express that the russian orthodox church saying well, he made those weapons to defend the mother land, he is not responsible for what happens to them in saudi arabia. and so my question basically is, russia is part of the geneva convention, i believe. it is proxy and going to these almost islamist groups. so we would do well by pulling the rug from under them. and i'm wondering whether russia orthodox church may have a just war doctrine whereby you can -- you have looser rules against the enemy than they have against

hiroshima, nagasaki. don't think that is on the table. taken a lot of options off the table. hamstrung us. it doesn't give us a lot of other options. that still need off to be on the table. we are telegraphing, we are, we are, and we are with hoefholdin options on the table. we should never do that. >> bobby, you spent all the time in iraq. covered it for a lot of years. problems are well known with iraqi military. a new government in place. the government is quick to say, new president. prime minister. still no interior menster. no defense minister. still no real clear plan the table, beside word reaching out to sunni groups. reforming the iraqi ml terry. the u.s. was building the iraqi mel ter military for more than ten years. more than 100,000 u.s. troops on the ground. still clams edslaps collapsed. >> the elements of the military that were in the north. were possibly, the worst. because the government was so shiite centric. >> secretary of state john kerry told chrrist yahristiane amanpo would have fallen. >> if you told me mosul would have fallen. nothing is impossible.

hiroshima, nagasaki, nurmburg, we were out to kill the people. hard war, as practiced by as practiced by sherman and others in the civil war, is the deliberate targeting of civilians' property. so sherman neither invented total war, did not even invent hard war, as practiced by sherman and others in the civil war, is the deliberate targeting of civilians' property. sherman sherman did not invent hard war. corecame the face of hard in american civil war studies. my personal assessment of sherman, eccentric, quirky. as a battlefield technician, mediocre at best. far better when he had numerical strength to flank the enemy. proclaim the indebtedness -- vindictiveness and seemed to revel in this. he chose to ignore the fact that whoe were 4000 civilians try to live through the bombardment. here's my conclusion. which of these four officers would i choose as having possessed the right character. --t i want to be remembered would i want to be remembered. i would like to have it like gravesite that somebody calls me a rock. i like that. as i said, i wou

ma -- hiroshima, nagasaki, nurmburg, we were out to kill the people. as practiced bycticed by sherman and others in the civil war, is the deliberate targeting of civilians' property. so sherman neither invented total war, did not even invent hard war. he has become, as i say, the face of hard war in american civil war studies. my personal assessment of sherman. eccentric, quirky. those assaults, mediocre at best. a better strategist, especially when he had a numerical strength. in treating enemy civilians, he could proclaim vicious net and he seemed to revel in building this reputation. bombarded while emphasizing damage to buildings, he chose to ignore the fact there were maybe 4000 civilians who lived, tried to live through, the bombardment. he has put his face on hard war more than any other northern general. here is my conclusion. which of these officers, sherman, hood, thomas, what i'd choose or select is having possessed the most lot of a character? what i want to be remembered as retreater, a demonstration of the peter principle. what i want to

sake --a and not the and nagasaki, these were states against states where the entirety of the regions were going against each other. this is not the same. -- they are inry skirmishes and fights. it is different in syria. syria looks like a full nationalistic war across the country. this group like isis with the might of the united states military? commanders will say you are not going to see tank division storm across the deserts to go after these guys. there has to be precision in a way. i do not think -- i think a lot of people are dissatisfied with the taste, the decision to go after this group, into which we could possibly be dropping on's and taking out their fighters and commanders. that is a different question than how do you do it. it would make no sense to carpet after any or to go mass ordinance. this is the new era of precision strikes were you do not have to do that. we have changed the calculus somewhat. host: a tweet -- guest: benefit from the confusion? host: that is the word she used. know if ih, i do not buy that. israel needs stability just like every other country i

nagasaki? those items that were brought stopped he bombing those wars and stopped them fast. and -- host: whoops. thought you were done there. go ahead, congressman. >> well, i think everybody favors limiting the damage done by air strikes. air strikes can be very powerful tools. they can eliminate enemies but they do sometimes not always have unintended consequences. the united states military goes to very great extremes to try marginal damage, casualties of innocent people. i think they should be praised for the careful way they go about that. you don't want to, i don't think at least, maybe the caller disagrees, you don't want to kill hundreds and hundreds of innocent people as you go after 10 or 15 or 20 bad guys. the use of military force has to be done i think with discrimination and not just with abandon. >> and, finally, congressman hamilton, let's wrap with your current position as director on the center on congress at i.u. if so many are unhappy with congress why do they continue to re-elect their congressman? guest: well, because the members of congress have all ki
