Its been exactly 75 years since the United States dropped the atomic bomb on the japanese city of nagasaki that came just days after the bombing of hiroshima on the 6th of august the 2 attacks led to some 200000 civilian deaths people continued to die years after the tragedy because of severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries. Mock local you know it just. Kind of war now is out there much you odds him its a sin must die for you are you more boars hook up or need to guy night. I get to meet on this war mark group will get there while you must be. Jerks i had to have could have been you cares you kind of wanted to have stand there. Every night. And as you are about to take i. Gotta paint your question that. I had to cut down at my desk when i get to. Where i knew had to. Guess and say no to having a candidate for dinner and have commissioned. Me. The moral events of being scaled back this shit because of the pandemic but small set of many still took place in both cities affected by the trying to join commemoration minister was joined by the few surviving witnesses of the attacks they mount the blasts with the minutes of silence. The u. S. And japan offer of a link by the tragedy heres what people in new york and hiroshima say about the events of 945. Take a drastic measure here and im like honestly i feel like i havent learned much about it so i just saw the u. S. Japan has just. Been the consequence of more positive results. Like from harbor maybe pearl harbor that had something to do with the u. S. Response to coral arbor. Fixing terms of. Its justified i dont know i think its tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why Something Like that catastrophic should go like not an apology were like but im pretty sure im looking for reparations im native american the figure more give any theres not going to happen its not going to happen but it just nice. When my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years im still very sorry for those who died but. I dont know youre going i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it and the military situation was utterly hopeless for japan perhaps it would have taken much longer for the water end would have been over without the bombings and the war between japan and the us its a shame the us hasnt apologized to japan for the bombings. Its very important to see it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bombing was if we keep silent the propaganda will win. Which byrne has had a strong relationship with the us including with the trumpet ministration other there have been a few stumbling blocks they described of are a spike in okinawa where the us has military bases angered the japanese officials and also been reports trump wanted japan to pay more for hosting the troops u. S. Steel tariffs and the white houses withdraw from the Transpacific Partnership havent helped the situation. The atomic bomb didnt just change the Political Landscape but the cultural one as well. Takes a look at how the deadly blasts help to form the Popular Culture we consume now on a day to day basis. There are moments in history as a memory so powerful they have shaped our culture tragic but defining all the mushroom clouds billowing over the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. For decades us suppressed almost all footage it was only in the 80s that color images sought by the us military will possibly be released to this day the material has never been shown in its entirety. But out of the unimaginable suffering roy whos a new pop culture in america the devastating release of radioactive particles change the countrys take on comic books and superheroes spite of the fantastic full of the incredible hulk all derived from exposure to radiation. Weve never seen anything even close to your level of exposure that you find an event like. Superhero we smell better than ever steel which no scenery. In the us atomic power was mostly about heroism and influence but japan how different take associations were instead made with destruction and mutation take up a new killer mutant rampaging through the streets of tokyo this city chaotic out in crisis powerless before it. As relations between countries change so to to the movies to follow in king kong. At pitt battle between the japanese and us pop culture icons atop mount fuji is defeated. Around 10000000 went to watch that film in japan and it remains the most watched in the conceal a series to date but turned out japan had a knack for shaping our childhoods from the hello kitty and the roots and they were as much hits of boards out so. I couldnt get enough of them it didnt matter if i could see the wires and the seams and the costumes and the least moving when the words didnt it was so fanciful and imaginative it was japan was at the forefront pop culture and technology from the Nintendo Game console to the last possible cassette by sony. Its mainly the kids were america saying this is great weve got to have one boys in this country between the ages of 8 and 15 not having nintendo is like not having a baseball bat japan continues successfully its its pop culture like minder and anna mae some say that creates a sort of outlet from the 3 years from the anxieties that paid by that spot in night fights but teenagers in the us who consume the probably and colorful characters and stories dont see this plant see as being created to escape from the darkness of tragedy. Thousands of healthcare workers of rallied across the United Kingdom demanding the pay rise and recognition for their work during the covert 900. 00 pandemic National Health Service Staff feel snubbed after the government announced last week that 900000 Public Sector workers would get salary hikes the measure is meant to reward workers on the front lines of the fight against coburn 19 but he did not include the majority of n. H. S. Stuff as a separate deal had already been negotiated 2 years ago we spoke to some of the medical professionals out of march in london. Ever since we had in may depend on me and weve had peace incredible times where people been dying struggling weve been separate from our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years. It wasnt too long ago that we were talking about nash if you were surviving on charitable donations of food trying to have a stop just because it came and because you crap we deserve back a profession and the whole n. H. S. The Service Sector and that was what. Was really me to find out that 900000. 00 Public Sector workers are getting a pay rise but not now this i think is just appalling if we stay anywhere not going to be about right when i was doing i think it was like getting a job hes married his new movie and. The problem were not allowed to play and this is moving very now is you know we havent been back because nobody at all literally no one else will and i spoke with n. H. S. Nurse Naomi Bennett who says that morale among healthcare workers are sitting you low. At the moment myself being on the front line we are actually put in our lives at risk to save the country however weve been left out of this pay rise and its absolutely diabolical really makes us know that we are not valued nobodys valuing us every day we get out we go and work with patients who have copd or potentially have copd were not given enough equipment were not given enough protection however are when now being disadvantaged even more because you know you get a pay rise i think is absolutely disgusting its so bad and months frontline staff were actually looking at amber options in terms of is this what we really want to be doing because we will also have families its a terrible shame that the government are not recognising that frontline staff are more disproportionately being affected weve coped 90 especially black nurses and from ethnic minorities also so thats another issue theres no Risk Assessment in place to protect us and now a slap in the face. The question of health care is playing a central role in this years u. S. President ial elections as the covert 90 ravages the country on saturday President Trump signed a Coronavirus Relief order sparking another wave of criticism from democrats over his handling of the crisis with the u. S. Accounting for a quarter of the worlds cases some voters are turning to the president s democratic rival joe biden on his killer war but looks at a new Online Campaign aimed at uniting opposition to trump ahead of novembers vote. If your man for the white house lacks a little bit of that x. Factor and has been playing it safe hiding in his bunker for months then perhaps what you need to spark his bid for the presidency is a catchy slogan something to stir up the emotions of the undecided something to rally the troops how about settle for biden sounds like a job right settle for biden dot org they describe themselves as a Grassroots Group of former Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders supporters who recognize joe bidens flaws but know our nation will out survive former years or so maybe its not the most dynamic of slogans but can you blame those who came up with this when they admit they are not the biggest fans of their candidate they just prefer him over another 4 years of turbulence and they think they might be on to winner and theres merchandise who would have ever thought that settle for would be Popular Campaign terminology introducing the settle for biden teacher this 100 percent cotton t. Shirt will let people know that youll vote for an old out of touch democrat in november but you wont be happy about settle for biden because it could be worse it could be better but could be worse now of course republicans have jumped in on this to make satire but joe biden does not seem to get the joke and most importantly. I. Think. Im not sure who. Now that is unlike all the voters all over twitter seem to be admitting that they are voting for joe biden out of necessity not enthusiasm was running errands in my settled for biden show today will he out of a store a guy said to meet joe biden i shrugged and said yeah i agree and then walked away there was much to argue but hes better than trump get in a loser. Were going to enact some middling reforms to quash social unrest while continuing to perpetuate a racist and classist system that disproportionately benefits and protects the wealthy. Settle for biden but jokes aside the only thing you need to know about this Joe Biden Campaign is that his own motto seems to go against this very concept this is the United States of america we dont settle we aspire lets get to work the United States presents itself as the democratic ideals of the world where free and Fair Elections reflected the popular will however nowadays it seems that voting isnt so much about backing the candidate you want as it is about stopping the one that you dont get worked up and r. T. New york centric war a journalist and commentator says the upcoming election is about voting for or against trump. No one wants to vote for this but of course they will its the truth but youve got this is zombie candidate joe biden and theyre going to hope that he doesnt debate were going to hope that they can hide him away in his basement as much as possible but as of now they are so we provide quite a point again pain and its strictly a chord with a lot of liberals because its so true so its very irritating its making them so angry because they all realize that yes we are merely settling. Down. And its the anyone but trump books. India is on its way to abolishing Primary School teaching in english Prime Minister Narendra Modis cabinet has approved reforms which showed schools to teach in local native languages. Of education while. The changes that weve brought in the education policy will further develop indias languages however it will increase the knowledge not only out of india. English was 1st introduced to india in the 17th century as a result of trade with britain remained a 2nd official language along with hindi many years after its colonial past being widely used in business and Politics Today around 11 percent of the into population speak english the Position Congress party as well as people online expressed their concern over the change arguing it will put a strain on lower class communities he wont be able to afford private tutors for english as well as to rob children of a chance to find work in other parts of india and in addition to Higher Education opportunities abroad. But supporters of the move argue that it will bring unity by raising colonial ties of the past we spoke to dr vinay saw has for a birthday whos president of the Indian Council for cultural relations and member of the Indian Parliament he says its time to promote regional languages we would like to destroy it there would be a shipment but its voting yes we did let it go out well english is important everybody should be able to speak good english because english to serve something which is more widely spoken ali well it wont but that doesnt mean that it should happen and of course the devil it meant eating that language just after all the languages are to get up out of it dont be a digital that nobody else is going to be or do you should but we would like to do all our dependence on least even a lot nearly as definite as you would like to stand on all the legs and the devil up i want to eat in the language you speak is that 8 bit of.
