nagasaki, japan. both hiroshima and nagasaki had some military value, not much however. keep in mind, american bombing in japan has been constant. it has been incessant. the firebombing of tokyo killed more people than pretty much each of the nuclear weapons did and those were conventional firebombs. but the united states had not brought all kinds of devastation on japanese citizens through the bombing campaign, but with a single device, an entire japanese city is wiped out. these weapons we are dropping are atomic bombs. they are fission-based detonation, which we will talk about in a second. they release exponentially significantly less than the weapons we use today, yet exponentially more than the biggest bomb we would have been able to drop in world war ii. in fact a 2000 bomb dropped by an american bomb yields 2000 pounds of explosive force. an atomic weapon is going to yield in kilotons of detonated force. what would a kiloton be? 1000 tons. you know metric already? yes, 1000 times. 13,000 tons of tnt in a single bomb. 21 kilotons on nagasaki from a single bomb. ma

from atons on nagasaki single bomb.maybe it is not purely the force of the destruction of the event, but the force that the threat of a single bomb that only we possess is what is most important. it is hard to say. whatever the case, we know that nagasaki is also destroyed. thousands and thousands killed in the short term, by blast, by heat, by being vaporized. and many more killed by radiation. in fact, many people would argue there are still being killed to this day. the japanese get the picture. they understand our threat which is we will use these bombs on your cities until you surrender. how many bombs did we have left in reserve to drop on japan at that point? deployable at that moment in time? zero. did not matter. the japanese commit to a full, unconditional surrender on the uss missouri with all sorts of nations in attendance and a very formal ceremony, the japanese signed unconditional surrender papers in the war is over, but the nuclear world has just begun. and bizarrely or whatever, it becomes the new war i

you know, have you seen that thing where detroit like 1945, andal nagasaki. the atomic bomb, you see nagasaki it looks like the city of the future, and detroit like they flipped, can next 50 or 60 years be like that. >> the thing is we're not in the manufacturing age any more it is in technology. in california, you are around networking, if you go to detroit you take a big risk. you are not connected. i think it will turn, but the government needs to be fixed. charles: a good point. >> i don't care if every companyments to move there, but government keeps screwing you is not going to work. >> we love comebacks, i think that government is very open to listening to, right now, they have no choice, they have been broken for decades. >> they broke them? my opinion. charles: the people broke it, it they voted in wrong candidates year after year, people who promised them something for nothing, and now won't even give them water. do you think that people there would say, i am voting for a party i never voted for before. >> the truth is majority of people inl in detr

like the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki? is that okay?w that was not okay. >> i thought it was okay. i think that was the right decision. enhanced interrogation is the right decision. and believe it or not i support barack obama. he's right on the use of drones. >> if we're not going to preserve the long-range plan for america -- >> you say america -- but america dropped bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki. >> it's just incredulous, i think you and the -- would like to hand chai and arabic coffee, this is absurd. we are not a pacifist religion. we should defend the moral high grounds. what's happening is this report is being used by a partisan group, the democrats, in order to make points. and then if some violence happens as a result, they'll blame it on the conservatives. what is the biggest strategy? imam, we are at war. and islamic groups in america like ccair -- >> you raise a point. imam, let me go back to you. i think he raises a point here. that is this is all predicated on an attack that killed 3,000 americans. who attacked us? radic

that humankind has learned nothing from the atomic bombing of the japese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. the pope also suggested that prejudice against muslims is on the rise, as a result of terrorist acts carried out by radical islamist groups. he said many muslims have been hurt by these acts. he said that the teachings of islam's holy koran emphasize peace. he went on to say that discrimination would be lessened if people had a better understanding of the world's various faiths. >>> doctors and other medical workers marched in russia's capital to protest against health care reforms. the demonstrators say the government's overhaul will put thousands of people out of work. public rallies are unusual in russia. but organizers say more than 3,000 people took part in sunday's demonstration. russian leaders are overhauling health care, as they rein in fiscal spending. they're responding to western sanctions, and falling oil prices. the reforms are expected to lead to job losses for more than 7,000 doctors and in moscow alone more than 20 hospitals and clinics are likely to close. >> transl

and western honshu and parts of kyushu have been reporting snow down to nagasaki. a few flurries in the air. and some of it really is accumulating. a lot of people still going to be seeing this. even back in korea. minus 7 for your high in seoul. you have been seeing snow showers coming out of this. and all this is fuelled by this absolutely frigid air mass. and this give use an idea of this. look at harbon, minus 23 for your high on wednesday. the low is minus 30. the cool air coming out of the arctic. plus you the radiational cooling during the overnight hours. makes for frigid conditions for you. i want to talk about europe as well, specifically the british isles we have another storm system coming through. the big problem with this is the winds. we're going to see rain showers and snow in parts of scotland. but you a deep low coming in off iceland. plus a high just towards the west of the iberian peninsula. that sets up a tight pressure gradient. that's what we are talking about with these high winds. that will push to the east. bring a rain/snow mix across the

. ♪ ["my country tis of thee"] ♪ ["taps"] ♪ tokyo is calling not a sake -- nagasaki, over.ation. i have the honor to report that we have struck an annihilating blow at the united states people. here are the facts. >> almost immediately, the crowing began. just listen to the facts. arizona, sunk and lost. >> regrettably, that is correct. >> the aircraft carrier enterprise, capsized and lost. >> incorrect. that is the old target ship, utah. >> battleship oklahoma, lost. >> capsized, but not lost. plans are underway for writing her. battleships california, nevada, and west virginia -- damaged beyond repair. >> temporarily damage, but before you go further, meet captain boldon of the navy. he is an expert on salvage and repair. together with hundreds of civilian welders, mechanics, and engineers, many working in complete harmony with navy prison now, he began a 24 hour job of salvage and repair that will stand forever as one of the great achievements in maritime history. above and below the water's surface, this epic of masterful engineering went on. captain woolen has proved t

another world war ii image, this helmet from nagasaki after the atomic bomb was dropped, a piece of skull fused inside. documenting unspeakable human rights abuses were commitmentsed in libya. >> you see this entrance to an underground bunker and human rights workers found life and dead bodies within those areas after the revolution. >> kabul became for photographer simon norfolk a museum of warfare. >> if you went to where the you you mujahideen were fighting, it's been nipped at. >> his pictures show a story of conflict and death. you can't make the photograph too grotesque, but then it won't be used won't be seen. but you can't make the picture pretty, either, because war isn't. >> it gives visitors a new perspective on conflict and the time to reflect on how war impacts people's lives. jessica baldwin, al jazeera, london. >>> last year a nasa contracted rocket burst into flames right after liftoff. >> testing engines at 108%. >> the explosion dashed the dreams of four young iraqi refugees who had a science experiment on board. but now they're getting a second chance. bisi onile-ere ha

and nagasaki were never the primary targets. they were the target package.whatever the case, the cold war is now kicking in and we have a weapon that does this and no one else has this. people have argued if we look at some influential propaganda films of the 1950's where we start to not talk so much about radiation and we show funny animations where people just where some extra clothes and the radiation will bounce off of you. that seems hilarious in hindsight, but it is sort of dishonest in that we knew from the 1940's that radiation was sufficient to kill human beings and they were being exposed to massive amounts of radiation. that is how the bomb works. these ultimately are designed to do this. you are going to be killed, destroyed, annihilated, vaporized by massive heat, massive force, massive radiation. you don't get a choice. these are fission devices. these are what we would call today sort of crude -- we use this word all of the time. it is a "crude nuclear weapon." i would argue all nuclear weapons are crude. somethingare based on that is much mor

they would drop two nukes on nagasaki.hey want the company to go out of business. >> yeah, this is a horrible idea. let the professional try to do that. the average investor could get killed. talk about the smartest guys in the room. 90 percent of mutual funds have lagged. the smartest guys in the room, the hedge funds have done worse. they've shorted the s&p. they've gone long. they've done even worse. charles: let's talk about when you are long on a stock and you find out wow, it's being heavily shorted. solarcity is one you like a lot. how do you handle that? how do you reconcile the fact that a bunch of people say the stock will collapse? >> i'm on the side of the individual investor. i hold onto stocks. when you're shorting a stock, you have to know exactly what you're doing. you have to be careful. do your research for the individual investors trying to build that portfolio, you want to hold onto it. in terms of solarcity, i'm holding onto it. it has solid fundamentals. i like the company. with all this, if there's g

claus' travels and right now he is on his way to nagasaki, japan. the tracking program has been going on for six decades and nuke follow along on the agency's website. so i hope he makes his way over to my house sometime. >> i betted traffic is slow today. >> it started off kind of bumpy and now it's slowing down so there are no major accidents out there. fog advisories though, so the weather is going to make it tricky for you at least at this hour. we have chp issues dense fog advisory for the san mateo bridge, dumbarton, benicia and antioch spans this morning. you can see from these live pictures but as we move on to the rest of the commute, you're in good shape. the altamont pass westbound 580 moving well. in fact, we just heard from the "kcbs phone force" that 580 is moving well from the tri-valley into oakland. bay bridge toll plaza, it is wide open at the pay gates. the metering lights are still off. and just a reminder i'm sure you have seen the signs around the bay area. caltrans has the signs posted up that the golden gate bridge will be cl

it's about 20 times the explosive energy of the he hiroshima and nagasaki bombs of world war ii. >> the moment the shock wave hits is captured. >> there's a moment when the window on the far side of that actually shatters and the curtains blow into the actual classroom. and the kids start running away. >> the bang blew out windows across the entire city, thousands and thousands of windows were smashed. >> the meet otherdisintegrates during the explosion sending tons of debris up into the atmosphere. but small pieces of the space rock make it to earth. >> they entered the snow and caused little snow tubes. and the picture fz ths of them fascinating. >> eight months after the blast, divers recover a large rock from a lake about 60 miles outside the city. it's believed to be a chunk of the meteor and weighs more than 1,200 pounds. a meteor collision with the atmosphere of this magnitude happens once in a lifetime. all the more remarkable that this one is caught on so many cameras. >> the fact that there were so many videos taken of this rock as it entered and people were, for other reasons

. >> we bombed hiroshima, we bombed nagasaki, and we bombed the thousands in new york and the pentagonnd we never batted an eye. the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards. america's chickens coming home to roost. no, no, no, not god bless america. god damn america. that's in the bible. you're killing innocent people. god damn america for -- treating us citizens as less than humans. >> reverend jeremiah wright. president obama sat in the pews of his church for over 20 years, but in order to get elected, he had to throw him under the bus. >> we heard my former pastor, jeremiah wright, use incendiary language to express the views that have the potential to not only widen the racial divide but views that denigrate the goodness of our nation. >> now a new radical alliance is formed. enter msnbc host the reverend al sharpton. he's been to the white house a whopping 83 times. who else has that kind of access to the commander in chief? that's not all. yesterday reverend al was at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, invited by none other than president obama to me

it saw the dropping of the atomic bomb in hiroshima and nagasaki. the united states' occupation of japan. korea's independence and also its division. nationalist china's decision to recognize mongolia as an independent country, a country that next year also celebrates 25 years of democracy. navigating all these anniversaries, working through these remembrances, this is beginning to require restraint. it's beginning to require good judgment. it's going to require political and diplomatic skill. and frankly, i welcome your advice and your counsel from this conference on not just how to handle the anniversaries, but how to build on them as well. because the record of the past 70 years in northeast asia has been one of extraordinary progress. and as i've said before, progress in 2015, particularly in the relationship between tokyo and seoul, and the relationship between tokyo and beijing, in turn, historical millstones into historical milestones. china, south korea, japan are major players in the region's security and economy. all three are increasingly

we made moral and ethical arguments against nagasaki, against roosevelt's carpet bombing of german peoplerstand those decisions, and these are presidents who enjoy the respect of the american people and are being treated very well in history, you can only appreciate those decisions because their ultimate and first respondent is the -- respond -- respond -- responsibility is the safety of the american public. bill: i think the polls in the coming days could be interesting and telling. what do you think? >> well, as of right now, the polls do support the actions taken to protect the american people post-9/11, and i think as we get even further away from that, i'm not a historian, but i would suspect that president bush and these actions that he took will be justified by his desire to protect the american people just as history has supported lincoln, roosevelt and truman in the decisions i tried to outline that they made. bill: so we'll be on standby for that. it will be interesting to see. general, thank you for your time. i guess in the interest of being fair and balanced, go army. >> oh,
