Terwijl jij je benen uit je lijf rent, klanten op klanten helpt en 's avonds op de bank in slaap valt – zie je mij op Instagram verhalen delen uit Gambia. Vrijheid. Lef. Eigen pad. En ergens denk je misschien: "Leuk voor jou Joyce… maar dat is niet mijn leven."Maar weet je? Dat was mijn leven ook niet altijd. Ik was ook die vrouw met geen tijd. Geen rust. Altijd aan. Tot ik besloot: het moet anders. En dáár gaat het om. Niet om Gambia. Niet om verre reizen. Maar om te kiezen voor jezelf. Op jouw manier. Of dat nou een wandeling is. Een nee zeggen. Een prijs verhogen. Een ochtend vrij houden.Je hoeft het niet alleen te doen. Je mag geholpen worden. Je mag leren hoe je dit omzet in jouw leven. In jouw bedrijf.

//The Wire//2300Z October 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST CONTINUES IN IRELAND AS CENSORSHIP CRACKDOWN INTENSIFIES. ILLEGAL MIGRANT FROM INDIA CAUSES FATAL CRASH IN CALIFORNIA. MIGRANT WOES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continues as before. Following Israeli strikes in Lebanon a few days ago, more significant airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon overnight. Yesterday evening the Israeli Knesset voted to annex the West Bank, a move which has drawn slight criticism from the United States due to the war continuing to widen after the ceasefire was broken last week. SECSTATE Marco Rubio condemned this vote and VP Vance stated that Israel will not be allowed to annex the West Bank.Italy: A man was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a child from a stroller near the train station in Bologna. Local authorities state that the man, who is an illegal immigrant from Gambia, approached a family on the sidewalk and attempted to grab their newborn child from their stroller. After local citizens fought back against him, he fled the scene before being arrested later in an adjacent park. The suspect has not been identified due to allegedly being a juvenile, but locals did state that he was an asylum seeker living at the local migrant housing complex near the attack site.-HomeFront-California: The driver of a semi truck who caused a fatal pileup on I-10 yesterday has been arrested. Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was arrested on multiple counts after the crash, including DUI. 3x people were killed during the crash, and 4x others wounded.Analyst Comment: Singh was illegally in the United States after walking over the southern border in 2022. After being initially detained, he was released into society by Customs and Border Patrol due to the catch-and-release open-border policy at the time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Ireland, the situation remains as tense as expected. One of the major issues with discerning the truth regarding events on the ground is the now-infamous Online Safety Act, which has been adopted by the European Union as the Digital Services Act (DSA) This is more or less the EU copying Starmer's homework and bringing the Online Safety Act to most of Europe. The DSA and the local regulations put into effect by the Irish government (most notably the chairman of the media commission Jeremy Godfrey) have resulted in a lot of the footage of protest activity being banned from being seen from Irish IP addresses. Users on X for example, have noted that their content is banned from view in Ireland, even content that is benign in nature but related to protest activity. This means that either the Irish government and/or the European Commission itself has ordered X to remove certain content by flagging it as "adult content" and thus subject to the Digital Services Act.In other words, exactly what everyone thought would happen, has happened. And not only happened once, but has been industrialized. Content which makes government agencies look bad, or otherwise highlights the crimes of violent migrants gets flagged as "adult content" and therefore is subject to censorship via the Online Safety Act and requires a photo ID (or a digital ID) to see. Right now, there are probably a lot of people in Ireland that have no understanding of the scale of protests and demonstrations (or even what the issue is all about) due to this censorship. This has been made worse by other larger issues that have actually made it into the mainstream press.Yesterday, the family of Josef Puska was sentenced for their various roles in the murder of Ashling Murphy. These sentences have inflamed tensions once more due to the nature of the crime itself, and the systemic coverup of the incident. While walking on a hiking path back in 20

María Santos repasa todas las noticias del sector. 1.- La Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP) y la Federación Española del Vino (FEV) han iniciado un trabajo en común de cara a un futuro convenio, enmarcado en el ámbito de la Comisión de Agricultura, Ganadería y Gestión Forestal y Economía Rural de la FEMP, para promocionar el consumo moderado, así como la defensa del sector primario y la lucha contra la despoblación. Según la Memoria de la Federación, que representa a casi 1.000 bodegas españolas y al 83% del valor del vino embotellado más del 40% de los municipios están relacionados con el cultivo de la vid. De ahí que la presidenta de la FEMP haya destacado la proyección internacional que aporta el vino, entendido como alimento dentro de la dieta mediterránea, en un momento en el que surgen amenazas importantes a las que hay que hacer frente, según ha señalado. En este sentido, ha añadido que por ello, ambas federaciones trabajarán por situar el vino en el lugar que merece, fomentando un consumo moderado, reiterando el consumo cero por parte de menores y apostando por la formación en el sector hostelero. 2.- José Manuel Diz, el patrón de costa del pesquero 'Tafra 3', hundido la pasada semana en la costa de Mauritania, ha asegurado que "no vieron venir" al buque que los abordó, el 'Right Whale', indicando que el barco se fue al fondo "en 5 minutos" sin que les diese "tiempo a nada". Un total de cinco personas continúan desparecidas después de que el 'Right Whale', de 105 metros de eslora y bandera de Gambia, colisionase con el 'Tafra 3', con pabellón de Mauritania, capital gallego y hasta dos españoles a bordo. En concreto, ambos eran gallegos, llegando este miércoles Diz a Vigo tras lo ocurrido. El suceso se produjo a las 20.40 horas española frente a la costa de Nouadhibou, en el norte de Mauritania, donde actualmente faenan otras embarcaciones de capital gallego, así como español. El capitán y el primer oficial del 'Right Whale' fueron detenidos. 3.- Más de una veintena de queserías artesanales españolas se medirán en la primera edición del Concurso Nacional de Queserías Artesanales 'La Cuña de Oro', creada por Quesos TGT, y que nace con el objetivo de poner en valor el trabajo, la dedicación y el saber hacer de las pequeñas queserías que elaboran queso artesanal en España. este certamen culminará con la entrega de La Cuña de Oro 2025, un galardón que distinguirá a una quesería cuyo producto represente con excelencia los valores de la artesanía quesera española. De esta forma, en esta edición inaugural participan 22 queserías artesanales procedentes de distintos puntos del país, Comunidad de Madrid, Cataluña, País Vasco, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Castilla La Mancha, Murcia, Andalucía y Asturias. 4.- La Comisión Provincial de Flujos Migratorios en Campaña Agrícola de Huelva ha destacado este miércoles que más de 12.500 trabajadores ya han retornado a sus países de origen y en los próximos meses lo hará el resto con vistas a reincorporarse a la campaña 2025/2026. Además, para la nueva campaña se recibirán también en el mes de octubre trabajadores procedentes de Senegal, como proyecto piloto. Así se ha indicado durante la reunión mantenida este miércoles para hacer balance de la campaña 2024/2025 y, analizar las estrategias coordinadas para el buen desarrollo de la próxima y establecer las previsiones en el marco de la migración circular y como objetivo principal la aplicación de la nueva orden GECCO. En la comisión se ha destacado la "enorme contribución" que las personas migrantes realizan para este sector económico "fundamental" para Huelva. Asimismo, uno de los aspectos tratados ha sido el de evaluar los datos de este proyecto, realizando propuestas para la próxima campaña. 5.- La Asociación Valenciana de Agricultores (AVA-Asaja) ha pedido a las administraciones "un Plan Marshall" con un "presupuesto potente" para "reimpulsar" la citricultura a través de medidas de apoyo dirigidas a optimizar la reestructuración de las explotaciones, facilitar la reconversión varietal, acabar con la 'pinyolà', recuperar campos abandonados y otras iniciativas complementarias como la mejora del seguro agrario, la autorización de más materias activas fitosanitarias, el control de la fauna salvaje o la lucha contra los robos. Así lo ha reclamado en un comunicado ante la nueva "reducción prevista" de aforo de la producción citrícola --un 8% menos en la Comunitat Valenciana y un 10% menos en España respecto a la campaña anterior-- que está generando las primeras reacciones en las filas del sector citrícola. El presidente de AVA-Asaja, Cristóbal Aguado, ha advertido que este año "volveremos a tener menos cosecha, sobre todo por las granizadas y la anomalía climática de esta primavera y verano, pero se trata de una preocupante tendencia a la baja que se arrastra desde hace más tiempo a causa de la elevada edad de las plantaciones, el mejorable mapa varietal, el minifundio o el abandono de campos, entre otros factores".

Stories Among The Stars A Strong Teatime with Miss Liz September 9th 7 pm EST Lance Robinson Topic “Stories Among the Stars: Exploring Humanity, Nature, and the Infinite” Introduction Join Miss Liz for an inspiring Teatime with Lance Robinson, an environmental social scientist, speculative fiction writer, and global nomad whose life and work traverse continents, cultures, and the human spirit. From Ghana to the Gambia, Colombia to Kenya, Lance has spent his life weaving through the experiences of mobile peoples and studying humanity's connection with the natural world. A writer since childhood, he returned to his creative roots after spending years abroad. His speculative fiction now dives into profound questions about our spiritual journeys, our ties to the environment, and our collective place in the universe. Description: Lance Robinson's writing is deeply reflective, exploring how our relationship with nature parallels our personal and spiritual growth. His story, Five Days Until Sunset, blends his love for astronomy with a quest for meaning — asking what it means to find harmony in worlds that both nurture and challenge us. As a sporadic nomad and avid space enthusiast, Lance offers a unique lens through which to examine humanity, faith, and resilience. In this Teatime, Miss Liz and Lance will explore how stories — both real and imagined — help us navigate life's constant evolution, from the Earth beneath our feet to the stars above. Closing Summary: This Teatime with Lance Robinson will be a journey through stories, science, and the soul.

In this episode of Conversations from the Diaspora, I'm joined by Nandi Kaye, travel and self-discovery enthusiast and founder of Nature is Balm. Over the last 15 years, she has traveled to nine African countries and now curates holistic cultural birthright experiences to Senegal and The Gambia.We talk about her personal journey of reconnecting with the continent despite not having direct family ties, how travel can be a tool for healing and identity-building, and what it means to create safe, intentional spaces for members of the African diaspora to experience belonging.From her background in criminal justice reform to her mission of bridging community and self-discovery, this conversation reminds us that travel isn't just about movement — it's about memory, healing, and reimagining Black joy.

Peaceful protests are being met with intimidation, and colonial-era laws. From rising internet costs to demands for transparency, citizens — especially youth — are taking to the streets. But why is the government clamping down? Host Eddy Micah Jr. joins human rights activist Madi Jobarteh, and DW's Sankulleh Janko in Banjul, to unpack the tension between civic freedom and state control.

Parece mentira que ya se acabe el mes de agosto. Y en mi caso, lo peor es que ya he vuelto a trabajar. Bueno, digo lo peor porque me gusta más estar de vacaciones, claro. Pero tener trabajo es un privilegio, porque hay muchas personas que no lo tienen. Así que, estoy muy agradecido, sobre todo porque el ambiente de trabajo es bastante bueno. Nos llevamos bien entre los compañeros del departamento audiovisual. Y como solía decirme un amigo mío con el que trabajé hace tiempo, mi amigo Alberto, sentirse a gusto en el trabajo es lo mejor que te puede pasar. Y hablando de trabajo, cada año miles de personas de países menos desarrollados tienen que abandonar sus casas para desplazarse al llamado “primer mundo”. España, por su ubicación geográfica, es una de las principales puertas de entrada a Europa para miles de personas que buscan una vida mejor. Muchas de ellas lo hacen de forma legal, pero otras llegan sin los permisos necesarios, lo que se conoce como inmigración irregular. En 2024, más de 56.000 personas entraron en España de manera irregular, un aumento significativo o considerable con respecto al año anterior La ruta canaria fue la más utilizada, con más de 21.000 llegadas solo a las Islas Canarias procedentes de África. Las personas migrantes suelen llegar por varios medios: Por mar, en pateras o cayucos, desde países como Marruecos, Senegal o Mauritania. Por tierra, cruzando las vallas fronterizas de Ceuta y Melilla. O incluso por aire, con visados turísticos que luego vencen. Una vez en territorio español, los migrantes irregulares pueden ser detenidos hasta 72 horas para su identificación, pueden acceder a programas de atención humanitaria, gestionados por entidades como Cruz Roja, y también pueden solicitar protección internacional o asilo, si cumplen ciertos requisitos. En muchos casos, son alojados en centros de acogida o pisos tutelados, especialmente si son menores o personas vulnerables. En cuanto a la manera de regularizar su situación, existen varias vías legales para obtener la residencia: Arraigo social: tras vivir 3 años en España y demostrar integración. Arraigo laboral: si han trabajado al menos 6 meses. Arraigo familiar: si tienen hijos españoles o familiares directos. Arraigo para la formación: si se comprometen a estudiar un curso profesional. Te cuento todo esto porque la noticia que vamos a escuchar hoy está muy relacionada con este tema. En concreto, habla de una de las formas utilizadas para introducir inmigrantes ilegales en España. Así que, lo mejor es que la escuchemos por primera vez. Como casi siempre, pertenece a Radio Nacional de España. “En camionetas, en dobles fondos, sin ventilación, sin ninguna medida de seguridad. Estas son las condiciones en las que más de 500 migrantes, incluyendo también menores, fueron introducidos en Europa, a través de una red de tráfico que ha desmantelado un operativo conjunto de la Policía Nacional de España con la francesa y con la Europol. Hay siete detenidos, ¿no? Sí, esta red utilizaba una ruta inédita para introducir en España migrantes irregulares, la mayoría marroquíes y argelinos. Desde estos países viajaban en avión hasta el Reino Unido para no levantar sospechas. Se quedaban en ese país y antes de que se les acabara el permiso de residencia, eran trasladados a Francia y desde ahí a España en camiones o furgonetas, como decías antes, sin ninguna medida de seguridad, tumbados entre la mercancía, sin comida ni agua, lo que suponía un grave riesgo para su vida, según ha explicado la Policía Nacional. Tanto en España como en Francia, estas personas residían hacinados en pisos a las afueras de las ciudades. El objetivo era venderlos como mano de obra para labores agrícolas. Cada migrante pagaba entre 350 y 1.500 euros a la red para poder ser trasladados. Llegaron a organizar 68 viajes con unos 500 migrantes. La recaudación superó el medio millón de euros.” Como ves, hay personas que se hacen ricas aprovechándose de la situación vulnerable de otras. Pero no siempre se salen con la suya, no siempre tienen éxito, como en esta ocasión, porque la policía está muy pendiente de estas mafias que trafican con personas. En cuanto a las palabras más destacadas, empezamos con el doble fondo, que es un compartimento oculto dentro de un objeto,como una maleta o un vehículo, que no es visible a simple vista y que se usa para esconder cosas o personas. La policía encontró a varios migrantes escondidos en un doble fondo del camión. El coche tenía un doble fondo en el maletero para ocultar mercancía ilegal. En muchas ocasiones, esos dobles fondos no tienen ventilación, o sea, no hay entrada o circulación de aire. Eso es la ventilación. Las personas viajaban sin ventilación, lo que ponía en riesgo su salud. En el sótano no hay ventanas, así que la ventilación es muy mala. El verbo desmantelar significa deshacer o eliminar una estructura, organización o sistema, especialmente si es ilegal o peligroso. Las autoridades lograron desmantelar una red de tráfico de personas. La policía desmanteló un laboratorio clandestino de drogas. El adjetivo inédita se refiere a algo que nunca antes se había visto, hecho o utilizado; nueva o desconocida. El masculino sería inédito. La red utilizaba una ruta inédita para entrar en España sin ser detectados. El escritor publicó una novela inédita que había guardado durante años. La expresión levantar sospechas es hacer que alguien empiece a dudar o sospechar que algo no es normal o legal. Lo importante es el verbo que usamos, levantar. Viajaban al Reino Unido para no levantar sospechas en los controles fronterizos. Su comportamiento extraño empezó a levantar sospechas entre los vecinos. Si una persona está tumbada es que se encuentra en posición horizontal, acostada, generalmente sobre el suelo o una superficie plana. Los migrantes iban tumbados entre cajas, sin espacio para moverse. Estaban tumbados en el suelo del camión, sin comida ni agua. Y si los migrantes estaban hacinados es que se encontraban muy juntos en un espacio reducido, sin condiciones adecuadas de higiene o comodidad. Vivían hacinados en pisos pequeños a las afueras de la ciudad. Los refugiados estaban hacinados en un centro sin recursos suficientes. Por último, la recaudación es el dinero obtenido a través de cobros, ventas o actividades, especialmente si es de forma organizada. La recaudación del partido superó los dos millones de euros. El concierto benéfico logró una recaudación de más de 10.000 euros. Muy bien. ¿Alguna duda? Espero que no. Si lo necesitas, puedes escuchar de nuevo las explicaciones. Si no, si está todo claro, pasamos al segundo pase de la noticia. “En camionetas, en dobles fondos, sin ventilación, sin ninguna medida de seguridad. Estas son las condiciones en las que más de 500 migrantes, incluyendo también menores, fueron introducidos en Europa, a través de una red de tráfico que ha desmantelado un operativo conjunto de la Policía Nacional de España con la francesa y con la Europol.

La recaudación superó el medio millón de euros.” Mucho mejor ahora, ¿verdad? Bueno, pues no vamos a parar aquí, sino que ahora te voy a ofrecer algunos sinónimos de las palabras que aparecen en la noticia en mi resumen habitual. Viajaban en furgonetas, en compartimentos ocultos, sin aire, sin protección alguna. Así fueron transportadas más de 500 personas migrantes, incluidos niños y adolescentes, hacia Europa, por medio de una organización criminal dedicada al tráfico de seres humanos, que ha sido desarticulada gracias a una acción coordinada entre la Policía Nacional española, las autoridades francesas y Europol. Hay siete arrestados. Esta estructura delictiva empleaba una vía poco habitual para introducir en territorio español a extranjeros en situación irregular, en su mayoría originarios de Marruecos y Argelia. Desde esos países, los migrantes volaban primero al Reino Unido para que todo pareciera normal. Permanecían allí un tiempo y, antes de que expirara su permiso temporal de estancia, eran trasladados a Francia, y desde allí a España, ocultos en vehículos de carga, sin ventilación, acostados entre mercancías, sin acceso a alimentos ni agua, lo que representaba un peligro extremo para su integridad física, según informó la Policía. Tanto en territorio español como en el francés, estas personas eran alojadas en viviendas saturadas, situadas en zonas periféricas de las ciudades. El propósito final era explotarlos laboralmente en el sector agrícola. Cada migrante pagaba entre 350 y 1.500 euros a la red por el traslado. En total, se organizaron 68 desplazamientos, movilizando a unas 500 personas, y la ganancia obtenida superó los 500.000 euros. Como te decía antes, esos 7 detenidos estaban haciendo mucho dinero con este negocio ilegal. Escuchamos la noticia por última vez y luego te cuento más cosas. “En camionetas, en dobles fondos, sin ventilación, sin ninguna medida de seguridad. Estas son las condiciones en las que más de 500 migrantes, incluyendo también menores, fueron introducidos en Europa, a través de una red de tráfico que ha desmantelado un operativo conjunto de la Policía Nacional de España con la francesa y con la Europol.

La recaudación superó el medio millón de euros.” La inmigración irregular es un fenómeno complejo que requiere respuestas coordinadas, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. En los últimos años, España y la Unión Europea han intensificado sus esfuerzos para controlar los flujos migratorios, proteger los derechos humanos y combatir las redes de tráfico de personas. Por lo que se refiere a España, ha reforzado su estrategia en varios frentes: Cooperación con países africanos: Ha firmado acuerdos bilaterales con Senegal, Mauritania y Gambia, entre otros, para fomentar la migración regular y segura, y combatir las mafias que trafican con personas. Migración circular: A través de este modelo, personas de países como Marruecos, Honduras o Colombia pueden venir a trabajar de forma temporal y regresar a su país, evitando así la irregularidad. Control fronterizo: Se han reforzado los medios en puntos críticos como Ceuta, Melilla y las Islas Canarias, con más vigilancia marítima y terrestre. Campañas informativas: En países de origen, para desmentir falsas promesas de las mafias y explicar los riesgos reales del viaje. Lo que parece claro es que la inmigración irregular no se resuelve solo con muros o patrullas. Requiere mucha cooperación internacional, vías legales de acceso, y mejoras en los países de origen de esas personas que buscan una vida diferente. Pero es un tema muy complejo, muy complicado, con difícil solución. Venga, vamos a repasar las palabras y expresiones que hemos aprendido hoy. -Doble fondo: Compartimento oculto dentro de un objeto (como una maleta o un vehículo) que no es visible a simple vista y se usa para esconder cosas. -Ventilación: Entrada o circulación de aire en un espacio cerrado para mantenerlo fresco o respirable. -Desmantelar: Deshacer o eliminar una estructura, organización o sistema, especialmente si es ilegal o peligroso. -Inédita: Que nunca antes se había visto, hecho o utilizado; nueva o desconocida. -Levantar sospechas: Hacer que alguien empiece a dudar o sospechar que algo no es normal o legal. -Tumbados: En posición horizontal, acostados, generalmente sobre el suelo o una superficie plana. -Hacinados: Muy juntos en un espacio reducido, sin condiciones adecuadas de higiene o comodidad. -Recaudación: Dinero obtenido a través de cobros, ventas o actividades, especialmente si es de forma organizada. Perfecto. Aquí se termina este episodio, al igual que el mes de agosto. Ahora empieza una nueva temporada de trabajo para muchas personas, sobre todo en España, donde este mes suele ser el más habitual para las vacaciones, un mes en el que muchas empresas cierran para descansar. En otros países, sin embargo, ya han empezado las clases en los colegios, así que ya han vuelto a la rutina. Sea cual sea tu caso, te deseo lo mejor para esta nueva temporada.

Helena Maleno, portavoz de Caminando Fronteras, habla del rescate por parte de Mauritania de 40 cadáveres de migrantes que partieron de Gambia hacia Canarias, siendo "una de las tragedias más importantes del verano". Estas personas intentaban completar la ruta canaria, una de las más mortíferas del mundo y la principal vía de llegada a España. La segunda ya no es el Estrecho, como señala Maleno en Hoy por Hoy, sino que es la ruta balear.

La lluvia y las temperaturas más bajas han ayudado a desactivar la voracidad de las llamas, aunque aún preocupa el incendio de Fasgar, en León, que los bomberos prevén estabilizar a lo largo del día de hoy. Según el sistema de satélites Copernicus, es el peor año de incendios para Europa desde que se puso en marcha. De la política, hoy comparece en las Cortes de Castilla y León Alfonso Mañueco, el primer presidente autonómico que comparecerá en su comunidad desde que comenzó la ola de incendios. También los Reyes visitarán los valles de Extremadura afectados por el incendio de Jarilla. Además, es noticia el naufragio cayuco que salió desde Gambia hacia las Islas Canarias y que ha dejado ya 40 muertos.

ECOWAS plans to launch a regional currency by 2027, despite past delays and ongoing hurdles. The pledge was made at the Sahel government forum in Gambia. Will it finally happen?

Last time we spoke about the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. In the summer of 1945, Japan faced its most devastating siege, characterized by an aerial campaign called "Starvation" that crippled its industrial capabilities. As resources dwindled and chaos reigned, the Allies intensified their firebombing efforts, targeting major cities. By July, Japan was on the brink of collapse, culminating in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, where over 140,000 lives were altered or lost in a blinding flash. As the nation reeled from the destruction, the Japanese leadership was torn between surrender and continuing the fight. They faced not just the threat of American bombs, but also a Soviet invasion looming on the horizon. Days after Hiroshima, the atomic bomb "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, resulting in catastrophic casualties and extensive industrial losses. This attack further devastated an already weakened Japan, leaving the Emperor and his government grappling with the dire consequences.

On this day, the nation faced the devastating impact of a second atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, along with the relentless Soviet invasion of Manchuria. Admiral Ivan Yumashev's Pacific Fleet moved to disrupt Japan's maritime communications in the Sea of Japan and provide support for offensive operations. At the same time, Soviet air forces targeted cities across Northeast Asia, striking both Manchuria and North Korea, as well as Japanese convoys in the Sea of Japan. General Twinning led a diversionary B-29 raid on Amagasaki, followed by a significant attack involving 108 aircraft on the rail yards at Marifu. In addition, Admiral Halsey's 3rd Fleet launched more strikes against airfields in northern Honshu and Hokkaido, where U.S. intelligence suspected a large Japanese air fleet and commando force was preparing for a desperate mission to Okinawa. Japanese paratroopers were gearing up for a new mission, codenamed Ken-go, but this time their target wasn't Okinawa. Similar to the earlier May 24 Raid on Yontan Airfield, Lieutenant General Sugawara Michio's Giretsu Kuteitai, also known as the “Heroic Paratroopers,” set their sights on the B-29 complex in the Mariana Islands for nighttime suicide raids. This operation marked the second planned assault on bases within the Mariana Islands, specifically aimed at destroying B-29 bombers. The plan involved deploying 60 transport aircraft to deliver 900 commandos during the nights of August 19 to 23. Around 300 personnel from Lieutenant Commander Daiji Yamaoka's 1st Kure Special Naval Landing Force initiated preparations at the end of June. Originally established for submarine-delivered raids on U.S.-held islands, these forces were now adapted to be flown in 30 Mitsubishi G4M 'Betty' twin-engine bombers, which had the necessary range for an unrefueled, one-way trip to the Marianas. The raid was initially scheduled for July 24. However, ten days earlier, U.S. carrier-based warplanes had attacked Misawa naval air base on Honshu Island, damaging or destroying many of the operation's bombers. Consequently, the raid was postponed to August 19, with the addition of 30 transport planes and 300 paratroopers from the army's 1st Raiding Regiment. Ultimately, however, on August 15, Japan surrendered, and Operation Ken-go was cancelled. Meanwhile, Admiral Shafroth's Bombardment Group unleashed heavy damage on the Kamaishi steel mill. The day after, to assist the Soviets, Halsey ordered additional airstrikes on northern Japanese airfields, causing extensive destruction. However, these were not isolated incidents; they were part of a sustained air-sea siege that had been intensifying for several months. The Allied blockade of Japan had severely impacted food imports, and industrial activity had nearly ground to a halt due to the ongoing blockade and bombings. By this point, six of Japan's ten largest cities had been completely destroyed, and over sixty smaller cities had been reduced to ashes from relentless incendiary raids. This scenario was a powerful manifestation of War Plan Orange in action. More critically, with the reality of Hiroshima's destruction echoing loudly, the Japanese government now grappled with the impending threat of complete annihilation, a grim reality they had never faced before in this war. Though they had recognized their defeat with the loss of Saipan and the initial Yawata raid, the stubborn resolve of the Japanese leadership had pushed them to prolong the conflict for an agonizing 14 months, clinging to the hope of a different outcome. Many now believed that peace was the only path to survival for the Japanese nation. As the crisis intensified, Prime Minister Suzuki and his cabinet engaged in heated discussions. He sought to persuade War Minister General Anami Korechika and Chief of the Army General Staff General Umezu Yoshijiro to accept the Potsdam Declaration on August 9. However, Suzuki and the militants could only agree that if there were any surrender, then it should ensure that the "national polity" or imperial family would continue in any postwar settlement. Anami and Umezu pushed for further, more favourable conditions. First, Japan would demobilize and disarm any IJA or IJN forces overseas. Second, Japanese courts would prosecute any war criminals. Third, after surrender the Allies would not occupy Japan. Chief of the Navy General Staff, Admiral Toyoda Soemu, agreed with Anami and Umezu. To break this deadlock, it became necessary to involve the Emperor directly. Around 2:00 AM on August 10, the cabinet convened with Emperor Hirohito, who ultimately agreed to accept the Potsdam Declaration and ordered an end to all military efforts, initiating the surrender process. Faced with no viable alternatives, all present reached a unanimous agreement. That morning, the Japanese government, through Swedish and Swiss intermediaries, sent an offer to accept the Potsdam Declaration, stipulating one condition: there would be no change to Japan's government structure, with Hirohito retaining his title as Emperor and sovereign ruler. Months afte the war Hirohito said this about his decision to surrender “The main motive behind my decision at that time was that if we . . . did not act, the Japanese race would perish and I would be unable to protect my loyal subjects [sekishi—literally, “children”]. Second, Kido agreed with me on the matter of defending the kokutai. If the enemy landed near Ise Bay, both Ise and Atsuta Shrines would immediately come under their control. There would be no time to transfer the sacred treasures [regalia] of the imperial family and no hope of protecting them. Under these circumstances, protection of the kokutai would be difficult. For these reasons, I thought at the time that I must make peace even at the sacrifice of myself.” Simultaneously, a new military campaign was underway, and several units of General Yamada's Kwantung Army were unexpectedly caught off-guard in Manchuria. In response, he implemented emergency measures and ordered commands to proceed with their plans for delaying operations. Upon learning of the Soviet declaration of war and the subsequent invasion led by Marshal Vasilevsky's Far East Command, Tokyo decided to place General Kozuki's 17th Area Army under the Kwantung Army. Furthermore, they instructed General Okamura Yasuji's China Expeditionary Army to transfer one army headquarters, along with six divisions and six brigades, to support this effort. As directed by Tokyo, the primary objective of the Kwantung Army was to defend Japanese territory in Korea. However, by the end of the first day of conflict, several border observation units had been completely destroyed while attempting to defend their positions. In the east, Lieutenant General Shimizu Noritsune's 5th Army, supported by the reinforced 128th Division, was confronting the main assault by Marshal Meretskov's 1st Far Eastern Front. To the south, Lieutenant General Murakami Keisaku's 3rd Army was engaged in defending against multiple penetrations along the border. In the northern sector, the 134th Division at Chiamussu was withdrawing towards Fangcheng, as planned, while flames engulfed Japanese houses in the city. General Uemura's 4th Army was preparing to face what they expected to be the main assault from General Purkayev's 2nd Far Eastern Front. Meanwhile, the 119th Division had already departed Hailar for Wunoerh, leaving only the 80th Independent Mixed Brigade behind. To the west, Lieutenant General Hongo Yoshio's 44th Army was confronting the formidable armored spearhead of Marshal Malinovsky's Transbaikal Front. Southwest of their position, the 108th Division was redeploying to the Chinhsien area. On August 10, the offensive led by Vasilevsky continued, as Colonel General Ivan Managarov's 53rd Army began crossing the border behind the now distant 6th Guards Tank Army. Recognizing that the 44th Army was not prepared to engage the overwhelming enemy armor in guerrilla warfare across the expansive terrain of western Manchuria, General Ushiroku made the independent decision to order Hongo to retreat to the Dairen-Hsinking line. This was where Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro's 30th Army was already establishing defensive positions. This decision contradicted Yamada's main strategy, which called for delaying the enemy advance at the borders.  Faced with what they deemed an illegal order, the Kwantung Army Headquarters convened an urgent staff conference. During this meeting, several opinions emerged: a sudden shift from established plans would likely create confusion; any attempt to counterattack after a withdrawal would likely fail if the enemy advanced quickly; and abandoning forward airfields prematurely would enable the enemy to advance unimpeded. To most participants, General Ushiroku's decision seemed to deliver a potentially fatal blow to the overall operational direction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. However, since the 44th Army had already begun its withdrawal as ordered by General Ushiroku, Kwantung Army Headquarters was left with a fait accompli. Thus, they felt compelled to uphold the decision of the Third Area Army Commander, which was subsequently approved by General Yamada. Meanwhile, General Pliyev's cavalry-mechanized units advanced rapidly toward Kalgan and Dolonnor, reaching the foothills of the Grand Khingan Mountains. General Danilov's 17th Army also continued to encounter weak resistance, covering an additional 40 kilometers. General Lyudnikov's 39th Army bypassed the encircled 107th Division in the Halung-Arshaan and Wuchakou Fortified Regions. Here, the 5th Guards Rifle Corps moved toward Solun and Tepossi, while the 113th Rifle Corps advanced southeast toward Wangyemiao. The 94th Rifle Corps had to divert southward to support the 124th Rifle Division. In the east, General Luchinsky's 36th Army launched ongoing attacks against Hailar, with the 2nd Rifle Corps bypassing it to the east. Meanwhile, General Kravchenko's 6th Guards Tank Army reorganized its right-wing column and began crossing the Grand Khingan Mountains during the night, with both columns entering the central Manchurian plain by August 11. To the east, Meretskov continued his offensive. The 17th, 65th, and 72nd Rifle Corps of General Krylov's 5th Army advanced swiftly west and south, ultimately securing Machiacho, Laotsaiying, Suiyang, and Suifenho. This maneuver widened the zone of penetration to 75 kilometers and forced the 126th and 135th Divisions to withdraw their main forces to Yehho. In support, General Beloborodov's 1st Red Banner Army to the north broke through into open terrain, pushing rapidly westward to occupy parts of the cities of Pamientung and Lishuchen, along with their vital bridges across the Muleng River. Further south, General Chistyakov's 25th Army captured Tungning and successfully reduced its fortified region. Units in that area also secured Tumentzu, Hunchun, and Wuchiatzu. Lastly, General Zakhvatayev's 35th Army continued its operations far to the north. The 264th Rifle Division and the 109th Fortified Region seized Hutou and initiated a movement west along the railroad toward Hulin, while the 363rd and 66th Rifle Divisions pressed on with their advance northwestward. In northern Manchuria, General Purkayev continued his main assault, with General Mamonov's 15th Army reconnoitering key enemy strongholds south of the Amur River. After successfully crossing the river, the 34th Rifle Division and the 203rd Tank Brigade occupied Lopei and advanced through Fenghsiang to bypass the Hsingshanchen Fortified Region, leaving a force behind to reduce it. Meanwhile, the 361st Rifle Division captured Tungchiang, and the 388th Rifle Division secured Chienchingkou, preparing for an advance toward Fuchin. In support of these operations, General Pashkov's 5th Rifle Corps cleared Japanese forces from the Jaoho Fortified Region, while General Teryokhin's 2nd Red Banner Army was preparing to launch its offensive the following morning. On August 11, forward units landed at Heiho, Aihun, and Holomoching under the cover of artillery fire, quickly establishing a beachhead as additional forces crossed the Amur. However, due to a lack of crossing equipment, it took five days to transport all units across the river. Consequently, Teryokhin had to commit his forces piecemeal against the 123rd Division and the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade. This was not the only new offensive operation initiated by Purkayev on this day. A new target had emerged: South Sakhalin, known as Karafuto to the Japanese. As per Vasilevsky's plans, Major-General Leonty Cheremisov's 16th Army was deployed on North Sakhalin and along the mainland coast of the Tatar Strait, stretching from Sovetskaya Gavan to Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. If the invasion of Manchuria continued to progress favorably, this force was set to attack the Japanese-controlled portion of the island alongside the Northern Pacific Flotilla, commanded by Vice-Admiral Vladimir Andreyev, which was prepared to conduct amphibious operations against Esutoru and Maoka on the island's west coast. Opposing the Soviet forces, General Higuchi of the 5th Area Army positioned Lieutenant General Mineki Toichiro's 88th Division in the southern part of South Sakhalin, with only the 125th Regiment stationed to the north. Sakhalin shared many characteristics with several of the Manchukuoan border areas, presenting challenging terrain for mechanized warfare. The only viable invasion route south from the border at the 50th Parallel followed the Poronay River, located more or less in the center of the island. This river flows southward, flanked to the east and west by forested mountain ranges, as well as countless swamps and bogs. Both sides recognized the strategic importance of this potential invasion route and constructed extensive fortification networks. The Japanese fortifications were collectively known as the Koton, or Haramitog, fortified region. These defenses were built in three interlinked layers, with their western flanks anchored in the mountain range and eastern flanks in the wooded, swampy river valley. The permanent defenses spanned approximately 12 kilometers in frontage and extended up to 30 kilometers in depth, containing over 350 bunkers, pillboxes, artillery positions, and similar fortifications. These were protected by an elaborate network of infantry trenches, anti-tank ditches, minefields, and barbed wire. The heavy forest and brush made it challenging to locate these defenses. While enough vegetation had been cleared to allow for effective defensive fire, sufficient cover remained to obscure them from an attacking force. Consequently, the 16th Army would confront these formidable defenses without the advantage of surprise. At daybreak on August 9, reports emerged that the Soviet Army had unexpectedly invaded Manchuria from multiple directions. By 8:00 AM, telegraph lines were cut near Handa, a village located at the center of the Russo-Japanese border in Sakhalin. An excellent military road connected Handa to Kamishikuks, a region known as the Central Military Road area. At the same time, reports indicated that enemy forces were attacking the observation posts in this area. On August 10,  observation posts were forced to withdraw as the Soviet Army gradually advanced toward our main position in the Happo Mountains, situated about 10 kilometers south of the border. That evening, it was reported that the 125th Infantry had engaged in a skirmish, during which the Isunisawa Platoon, fighting near the Handa River bridge for over five hours, was wiped out. On that same day, the commander of the Fifth Area Army declared that not only had the Army engaged Soviet forces, but civilians in the area, including office workers and laborers, had also joined the battle in a desperate attempt to halt the advancing Soviet Army. By August 13, the National Volunteer Combat Teams were summoned. The recruitment of these volunteer combat teams from the general populace was unique to the Sakhalin campaign, aimed at creating the appearance of military readiness to deter the Soviet advance. Additionally, the 125th Regiment executed demolitions while retreating to establish stronger defensive positions on the western flank of Happo Mountain, northwest of Furuton. Given the unexpectedly favorable developments in Manchuria, the invasion of South Sakhalin was authorized on August 10. General Yumashev further directed Vice-Admiral Andreyev's naval forces to commence attacks on both South Sakhalin and the Kuriles. Major General Georgii Dziuba's air forces joined the effort, conducting reconnaissance flights over key Japanese ports that revealed Toro and Esutoru were almost entirely unprotected. In the early hours of August 11, the 56th Rifle Corps crossed the border and began its main advance along the central military road but encountered resistance at Handa, where around 100 defenders held them up for an entire day. Back in northern Manchuria, the 5th Rifle Corps embarked on a challenging march southwest toward Paoching, while Mamonov launched a bombing raid followed by an attack on Fuchin, which ultimately fell after a coordinated tank-infantry assault. Concurrently, the 4th Army headquarters and the bulk of the 149th Division received orders to retreat from Tsitsihar to Harbin. To the south, the 112th Fortified Region and the 6th Field Fortified Region crossed the Muleng River south of Mishan during the night. In the following days, they collaborated with units from the 35th Army to secure the Mishan Fortified Region. More importantly, the 26th and 59th Rifle Corps successfully secured Pamientung and Lishuchen, initiating a pursuit of withdrawing Japanese forces to the west and southwest. On August 11, the 5th Army advance continued, with reinforced forward detachments of the 65th and 72nd Rifle Corps reaching the Muleng River and preparing for an advance on Mutanchiang. At this juncture, Meretskov reassessed the situation and determined that his best opportunity for successful exploitation in the front zone lay within the 25th Army area. Consequently, he attached the 17th and 88th Rifle Corps to this command and placed the 10th Mechanized Corps in army reserve. This allowed the 17th and 39th Rifle Corps to commence a coordinated advance toward Wangching, Tumen, Tunhua, and Kirin. Looking west, Pliyev's units continued to encounter minimal resistance. The 17th Army was finally nearing the western foothills of the Grand Khingan Mountains. The lead brigade of the 5th Guards Tank Corps reached Lupei, while the 7th Guards Mechanized Corps completed its crossing of the Grand Khingan Mountains. The 39th Army maintained its holding operations against the Halung-Arshaan and Wuchakou Fortified Regions, coupled with main advances toward Solun and Wangyemiao. The 2nd Rifle Corps and the 205th Tank Brigade advanced along the railroad to Yakoshih. The 94th Rifle Division, supported by air and artillery, launched an assault and captured the southwestern portion of Hailar city before being reinforced by the entire 86th Rifle Corps. Meanwhile, the Soviet operational group on the right flank of the 36th Army broke through Japanese resistance at Manchouli, moving eastward along the rail line to join the Soviet forces besieging Hailar. As the Soviet armored units in the west made an unexpectedly swift advance, they were anticipated to reach Hsinking by August 15. On this same day, Yamada decided to relocate his headquarters to Tunghua. Additionally, during the night, a small naval force successfully conducted an assault landing at Yuki in North Korea, securing the port unopposed on August 12. Simultaneously, the 393rd Rifle Division pushed south into North Korea, quickly reaching Yuki before continuing toward Rashin. There, another small naval force landed on August 12, facing minimal resistance except for artillery fire. Meanwhile, the 25th Army advanced up to 40 kilometers in its main march southwest, prompting the commitment of the 10th Mechanized Corps to exploit further toward Wangching and beyond. The 5th Army had to eliminate a strong enemy position east of Taimakou before it could resume its advance to Mutanchiang. The 1st Red Banner Army pressed forward relentlessly, with the 26th Rifle Corps successfully bypassing Tzuhsingtun to advance on Hsientung, cutting the Linkou-Mutanchiang railroad line. The 363rd Rifle Division occupied Mishan while the 264th Rifle Division secured Hulin. The 171st Tank Brigade began a challenging advance southwest toward Chiamussu as the 15th Army reduced the Fuchin fortified region. Forward detachments of the 2nd Red Banner Army engaged Japanese advanced positions south of Holomoching and north of Aihun. After reducing Handa, the 56th Rifle Corps commenced an advance toward Furuton, although it faced delays from small enemy forces. Furthermore, in western Manchuria, Pliyev's Soviet-Mongolian formations and the 17th Army continued their advance through Inner Mongolia largely unopposed for the next two days. Throughout 12 and 13 August on the Trans-Baikal Front's right flank, the Soviet-Mongolian formations of General Pliyev swept across the Inner Mongolian deserts towards Dolonnor and Kalgan at a rate of ninety to one hundred kilometers a day, rudely shunting aside local cavalry forces. Pliyev's principal concern was providing his forces in the vast desert wastes sufficient food, fuel, fodder, and water. The 6th Guards Tank Army had to temporarily halt its advance as the 7th Guards Mechanized Corps reached Tuchuan. This pause was necessary due to severe fuel shortages, requiring an increase in fuel supplies before the offensive could resume. This situation allowed Ushiroku to withdraw the 63rd and 117th Divisions before they could be engaged. However, the 107th Division was less fortunate, as it was attacked by the 5th Guards Rifle Corps on the road to Solun. On the northern flank, the 36th Army continued its siege of the Hailar fortifications while the 2nd Rifle Corps seized Yakoshih and advanced up to Wunoerh. That day, Japan also received the initial Allied response to its surrender offer, penned by Secretary of State James Byrnes and approved by the British, Chinese, and Soviet governments. A critic of the Japanese imperial system, Byrnes insisted on an unconditional surrender but remained ambiguous regarding the future of the imperial family's position. The response included a statement that Japan's future form of government should be “established by the freely expressed will of the Japanese people.” Thus, even though the Soviet and Chinese governments aimed for the abolition of the imperial system, the Japanese could choose to retain their emperor, and likely would. Meanwhile, Secretary Stimson urged President Truman to accept the peace offer immediately, believing that, without an organized surrender supported by the emperor, U.S. forces would face “a score of bloody Iwo Jimas and Okinawas” across China and Southeast Asia. He cautioned that without the immediate capitulation of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy, rogue military commanders might continue to resist. Retaining Hirohito would also aid Allied efforts to achieve a swift and orderly reconstruction while maintaining a compliant populace. The Japanese cabinet deliberated over the Allied response, with Anami and Suzuki, among other key military figures, arguing for its rejection unless an explicit guarantee for the imperial system was provided. Ultimately, however, Foreign Minister Togo and Marquess Kido Koichi succeeded in persuading Suzuki to support the acceptance of Byrnes' reply. Meanwhile, President Truman issued instructions prohibiting any further atomic weapons from being dropped on Japan without his approval, and he later ordered a complete halt to all bombings. Despite this, Halsey's 3rd Fleet remained in the area, preparing to launch additional strikes. Admiral Rawlings' Task Force 37 unfortunately had to retire at this point, though a token force was integrated into Admiral McCain's Task Force 38 to ensure British support until the end.  The Olympic timetable had called for Third Fleet to retire to Eniwetok and Manus in mid-August, but late on the night of August 10 Missouri intercepted a cryptic radio transmission: “Through the Swiss government, Japan has stated that she is willing to accept Allied surrender ultimatum at Potsdam, provided they can keep their Emperor.” Halsey had long predicted an early Japanese collapse, and had accordingly kept his logistic pipeline full. The following morning, August 11, flagships Missouri and King George V refueled simultaneously alongside oiler USS Sabine. Halsey recalled, “I went across to the ‘Cagey Five' as we called her, on an aerial trolley, just to drink a toast with Vice Admiral Rawlings.” Although Japan teetered near collapse, TF-37 lacked its own fast oilers and would have to retire immediately. With Nimitz's permission Halsey offered to sustain a token British force with Third Fleet so that the Royal Navy would be in “at the death.” Rawlings enthusiastically accepted. After replenishment, King George V, Indefatigable, Gambia, Newfoundland, and ten destroyers were re-designated TG-38.5 and absorbed into McCain's TF-38. The rest of TF-37, under Vian, reluctantly retired for Manus. In a truly desultory attack the following day, August 12, a single Japanese plane penetrated Buckner Bay, Okinawa undetected and torpedoed TF-95's just-arrived battleship Pennsylvania. Twenty Americans were killed, while Oldendorf and nine others were wounded. Back off Honshu, Halsey canceled August 12 strikes due to a typhoon. Late that night Third Fleet intercepted a confusing and ambiguous radio bulletin announcing that Japan had, with qualifications, accepted Allied terms. After a heated staff conference Halsey decided that, without firmer information, the following day's strikes were still on. Nevertheless, the prolonged negotiations were causing the Third Fleet considerable logistical problems; Halsey recalled, “Our galleys were reduced to serving dehydrated carrot salad. If the war was over, we could provision on the spot; if it was not, we would have to retire, reprovision, and return.” That night, a group of officers led by Major Hatanaka Kenji and Colonel Arao Okikatsu approached Anami, seeking his backing for a coup d'état to prevent Japan's surrender. Anami refused, leaving Hatanaka's conspirators to attempt the coup on their own. At the recommendation of American psychological operations experts, B-29 bombers spent August 13 dropping leaflets over Japan detailing the Japanese offer of surrender and the Allied response. In stark contrast, that same day, McCain's newly Anglo-American TF-38 launched 1,167 sorties against Tokyo, expending 372 tons of bombs and 2,175 rockets. Only seven planes and one pilot were lost, none to combat. Airborne opposition was virtually nil, as Lieutenant-General Kanetoshi Kondo, commander of Tokyo's defending 10th Hiko Shidan, “failed to urge his men to press the attack to the utmost, because it seemed absurd to incur additional losses with the war obviously lost and its termination due in a matter of days.”  Simultaneously, Suzuki's cabinet debated their reply to the Allied response late into the night but remained deadlocked. Back in Manchuria, on August 13, the 6th Guards Tank Army resumed its offensive by pushing reconnaissance units toward Tungliao and Taonan. The 39th Army continued its assault on Japanese units at Halung-Arshaan, while the 5th Guards Rifle Corps attacked and captured Solun. To the north, as the battle for Hailar raged on, the 2nd Rifle Corps engaged the determined 119th Division for control of the Grand Khingan passes west of Pokotu, achieving little progress over the next two days. Looking east, the 2nd Red Banner Army gathered sufficient forces to resume its offensive, successfully penetrating the defenses of the 123rd Division at Shenwutan and Chiko. They destroyed small Japanese outposts at Huma and Santaoka, further pushing the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade toward the main fortified region at Aihun. Additionally, the 15th Army reduced the fortified positions at Fuchin, while the 171st Tank Brigade continued its advance toward Chiamussu. To the south, the 66th Rifle Division finally occupied Tungan, cutting the highway and railroad to Hutou. Meanwhile, the 59th Rifle Corps reached and secured Linkou before turning south toward Mutanchiang. Advance elements of the 26th Rifle Corps attacked and occupied the railroad station at Hualin, though they could not secure crossing sites over the Mutan River due to the fierce resistance of a single battalion. During the night, heavy Japanese counterattacks forced Soviet forces back to a hill northeast of Hualin. More importantly, while the 45th Rifle Corps continued to reduce remaining Japanese strongpoints in the Volynsk, Suifenho, and Lumintai centers of resistance, the bulk of the 5th Army advanced 30 kilometers along the road and rail line, successfully approaching the outer fortifications of Mutanchiang by nightfall. Even farther south, the 25th Army pushed southwestward, with its three formations sharing a single road along the military rail line through the mountainous, heavily wooded area from Laoheishan to Heitosai. In South Sakhalin, the 56th Rifle Corps launched a siege attack against Furuton. However, the fierce resistance of the 125th Regiment successfully repelled Soviet assaults for the next three days. On the same day, in preparation for an amphibious invasion of Toro, two naval patrol craft reconnoitered Esutoru. Additionally, Meretskov approved the Seishin Operation in North Korea, leading to another small naval force landing successfully at Chongjin that afternoon. Soon after, they faced a strong Japanese counterattack, which drove the landing force out of the port and inflicted heavy losses on the Russians. The following morning, a naval infantry battalion was landed to retake Chongjin, but Japanese reinforcements from the Nanam Divisional District Unit arrived to contest the port. As the Russians were pushed back again, Yumashev decided to embark the 13th Naval Infantry Brigade for a third assault scheduled for August 15. To the north, the 393rd Rifle Division advanced south along the coast, reaching Kwangjuryong by August 14. Concurrently, after breaking through the 128th Division's main defenses at Lotzukou, the 25th Army reached Heitosai and prepared to launch its main attack against Murakami's 3rd Army. The 5th Army struck the right flank of Shimizu's 5th Army at Ssutaoling and in the hills southeast of Mutanchiang, while the 1st Red Banner Army attacked the northern and eastern flanks of the city and the railroad station at Yehho on the eastern bank of the Mutan River. The 35th Army began a rapid advance toward Poli and Linkou, encountering negligible opposition. Meanwhile, the 5th Rifle Corps reached Paoching, drove off its garrison, and continued marching toward Poli. In addition, the 15th Army finally reduced the Hsingshanchen Fortified Region, opening a more direct advance route toward Chiamussu. Meanwhile, the 2nd Red Banner Army succeeded in breaking through the outer Japanese defenses to besiege the Sunwu Fortified Region and surround the Aihun Fortified Region. To the west, the 36th Army continued to encounter strong resistance at Hailar and Wunoerh. The 5th Guards Rifle Corps initiated a southeastward pursuit along the railroad toward Wangyemiao, eventually catching elements of the 107th Division at Tepossi, while also engaging Japanese units retreating from the Wuchakou area. The forward detachment of the 7th Guards Mechanized Corps occupied Taonan after a march hindered by wet weather and Japanese kamikaze attacks. The 17th Army captured Taopanshin, and Pliyev's left column overcame a small Manchurian cavalry force, entering Dolonnor at the east end of the pass across the southern Grand Khingan Mountains. Back in the Pacific, the Allies grew restless as they awaited a Japanese response, ultimately interpreting the silence as a non-acceptance of the imposed peace terms. Consequently, Truman ordered a resumption of attacks against Japan at maximum intensity. More than 400 B-29 bombers launched daylight attacks, while over 300 conducted night raids, culminating in what would become the largest and longest bombing raid of the Pacific War. Furthermore, Truman began planning to drop a third atomic bomb on Tokyo. However, before he could proceed, Emperor Hirohito met with the most senior Army and Navy officers in the early hours of August 14, convincing them to cooperate in ending the war. The cabinet immediately convened and unanimously ratified the Emperor's wishes for an unconditional surrender. They also decided to destroy vast amounts of material related to war crimes and the war responsibilities of the nation's highest leaders. Shortly after concluding the conference, a group of senior army officers, including Anami, gathered in a nearby room and signed an agreement to execute the Emperor's order of surrender. This decision would significantly impede any attempts to incite a coup in Tokyo. During this meeting, General Kawabe Torashirō, Vice Chief of the Army General Staff, proposed that the senior officers present should each sign an agreement to carry out the Emperor's order of surrender, "The Army will act in accordance with the Imperial Decision to the last." An agreement was ultimately signed by each of the most important officers present, including Minister of War Anami, Chief of the Army General Staff Umezu, commander of the 1st General Army Field Marshal Sugiyama Hajime, commander of the 2nd General Army Field Marshal Hata Shunroku and Inspector-General of Military Training Doihara Kenji. When Umezu voiced concern about air units causing trouble, Vice Minister of War Wakamatsu Tadaichi took the agreement next door to the Air General Army headquarters, where its commander Kawabe Masakazu, the brother of Torashirō also signed. The document would serve to seriously impede any attempt to incite a coup in Tokyo. Simultaneously, the Foreign Ministry transmitted orders to its embassies in Switzerland and Sweden to accept the Allied terms of surrender, which were received in Washington at 02:49 on August 14. Anticipating difficulties with senior commanders on distant war fronts, three princes of the Imperial Family, who held military commissions, were dispatched to deliver the news personally. By 19:00, the text of the Imperial Rescript on surrender was finalized, transcribed by the official court calligrapher, and presented to the cabinet for their signatures. Around 23:00, the Emperor, with assistance from an NHK recording crew, made a gramophone record of himself reading the rescript. At long last, Japan had admitted defeat.  However at around 21:30 on 14 August, the conspirators led by Hatanaka set their plan into motion. The Second Regiment of the First Imperial Guards had entered the palace grounds, doubling the strength of the battalion already stationed there, presumably to provide extra protection against Hatanaka's rebellion. But Hatanaka, along with Lt. Col. Shiizaki Jirō, convinced the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the First Imperial Guards, Colonel Haga Toyojirō, of their cause, by telling him (falsely) that Generals Anami and Umezu, and the commanders of the Eastern District Army and Imperial Guards Divisions were all in on the plan. Hatanaka also went to the office of Tanaka Shizuichi, commander of the Eastern region of the army, to try to persuade him to join the coup. Tanaka refused, and ordered Hatanaka to go home. Hatanaka ignored the order. Originally, Hatanaka hoped that simply occupying the palace and showing the beginnings of a rebellion would inspire the rest of the Army to rise up against the move to surrender. This notion guided him through much of the last days and hours and gave him the blind optimism to move ahead with the plan, despite having little support from his superiors. Having set all the pieces into position, Hatanaka and his co-conspirators decided that the Guard would take over the palace at 02:00. The hours until then were spent in continued attempts to convince their superiors in the Army to join the coup. Hatanaka, Shiizaki, Ida, and Captain Shigetarō Uehara (of the Air Force Academy) went to the office of Lt. Gen. Takeshi Mori to ask him to join the coup. Mori was in a meeting with his brother-in-law Michinori Shiraishi. The cooperation of Mori, who was the commander of the 1st Imperial Guards Division, was vital. When Mori refused to side with Hatanaka, Hatanaka killed him, fearing Mori would order the Guards to stop the rebellion. Uehara killed Shiraishi. These were the only two murders of the night. Hatanaka then used General Mori's official stamp to authorize Imperial Guards Division Strategic Order No. 584, a false set of orders created by his co-conspirators, which would greatly increase the strength of the forces occupying the Imperial Palace and Imperial Household Ministry, and "protecting" the Emperor. The rebels, led by Hatanaka, spent the next several hours fruitlessly searching for the recordings of the surrender speech, failing to locate them amid a blackout caused by American bombings. Around the same time, another group of Hatanaka's rebels, led by Captain Takeo Sasaki, targeted Prime Minister Suzuki's office with the intent to kill him. When they found it empty, they opened fire with machine guns, devastating the office, and then set the building ablaze before departing for Suzuki's home. Fortunately, Hisatsune Sakomizu, the chief secretary to Suzuki's Cabinet, had warned Suzuki, enabling him to escape just minutes before the assassins arrived. After setting fire to Suzuki's residence, the rebels then proceeded to the estate of Kiichirō Hiranuma, aiming to assassinate him as well. Hiranuma managed to escape through a side gate, but the rebels torched his house too. In the aftermath, Suzuki spent the remainder of August under police protection, sleeping in a different bed each night to avoid detection. Around 03:00, Hatanaka was informed that the Eastern District Army was on its way to the palace to confront him and urged him to surrender. As Hatanaka saw his plan collapse around him, he pleaded with Tatsuhiko Takashima, the Chief of Staff of the Eastern District Army, for airtime on NHK radio to explain his intentions to the Japanese people. His request was denied. Meanwhile, Colonel Haga, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the First Imperial Guards, learned that the Army did not support Hatanaka's rebellion and ordered him to vacate the palace grounds. Just before 05:00, while his rebels continued their search, Major Hatanaka went to the NHK studios, desperately trying to secure airtime to convey his actions. However, slightly over an hour later, after receiving a phone call from the Eastern District Army, Hatanaka finally conceded defeat. He gathered his officers and left the NHK studio, feeling the weight of his failed coup. At dawn, General Tanaka learned that the palace had been invaded, so he went there to confront the rebellious officers. He berated them for acting against the spirit of the Japanese army and ultimately convinced them to return to their barracks. By 08:00 on August 15, the rebellion was entirely dismantled. Although they had held the palace grounds for much of the night, they ultimately failed to find the recordings. After his failed coup, Hatanaka took his own life before witnessing Japan's surrender. While TF-38 refueled on August 14, Halsey signaled McCain, stating, “I intend to strike the same general target area on the fifteenth.” McCain informed TF-38, “Our orders to strike indicate the enemy may have dropped an unacceptable joker into the surrender terms. This war could last many months longer. We cannot afford to relax. Now is the time to pour it on.” In fact, the Western Allies had sunk their last Japanese ships of the war that day, when submarines USS Torsk (SS-423) and USS Spikefish (SS-404) torpedoed I-373 and two small escort ships in the East China Sea, resulting in the death of 112 Japanese sailors. The following morning, August 15, the Third Fleet launched its first strike of 103 aircraft at 04:15 hours. At 06:14, just as the first strike was returning and the second strike was five minutes from the target, Halsey was ordered by Nimitz, “Air attack will be suspended. Acknowledge.” Shortly afterward, an officer burst in, waving a transcript—President Truman's official peace announcement. Halsey erupted with exuberance, “pounding the shoulders of everyone within reach.” He recalled, “My first thought at the great news was, ‘Victory!' My second was, ‘God be thanked, I'll never have to order another man out to die.'” However, within minutes, four retiring Hancock Hellcats were attacked by seven Japanese fighters, resulting in the Hellcats shooting down four without loss. Over Tokorazawa airfield, northwest of Tokyo, 20 IJAAF Ki-84 “Franks” ambushed six VF-88 Hellcats from Yorktown. The Hellcats managed to shoot down nine Franks but lost four of their own, along with their pilots. Rawlings' dawn strikes were intercepted by about 12 Zeros. Escorting Seafires shot down eight Zeros but lost one, while an Avenger downed a ninth Zero. Tragically, seven TF-38 flyers never returned. During the morning, Halsey launched his last strike of the war, but was soon ordered by Admiral Nimitz to suspend all air attacks. At 12:00, the Emperor's recorded speech to the nation, reading the Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War, was finally broadcast. The war was over… or was it really?

As Prime Minister Suzuki and his cabinet debated surrender, the Emperor Hirohito finally accepted the Potsdam Declaration, conditionally ensuring the imperial family's continuity. However, conspirators attempted a coup to prevent the surrender, ultimately failing. By August 15, Japan officially surrendered, marking the end of the Pacific War.

Edgar González Corral emprendió su primer gran viaje en moto el 4 de agosto de 2024. Durante más de cinco meses, atravesó Marruecos, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bisáu, Guinea y Sierra Leona, antes de regresar por la misma ruta a España el 20 de enero de 2025, habiendo recorrido 20.000 kilómetros. Viajó en solitario la mayor parte del tiempo, salvo los primeros y últimos 20 días, en los que estuvo acompañado por su novia en la misma moto. Con la intención de viajar despacio, conocer a la gente y disfrutar de la naturaleza, este viaje representó un cambio radical en su vida: dejó su trabajo como biólogo en Oviedo y se lanzó a la carretera con una Yamaha XT600 E del 2001, sin experiencia previa en viajes largos en moto. Su objetivo inicial era dar la vuelta a África, pero pronto comprendió que el tiempo disponible no era suficiente. ⚠️ Más información y fotos en: https://bit.ly/edgar-gonzalez ❤️ ¿Te gusta este podcast?

It's Tuesday, May 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Fulani Muslim killed 15 unarmed Nigerian Christians On Saturday, May 17th, armed Fulani Muslim militia opened fire on Agatu Christians in Benue State, Nigeria, killing 15 unarmed men. Throughout that North Central region, the Fulani have also killed 159 Christian residents over the last 40 days, according to TruthNigeria.com.   Pray for Christians in Nigeria, suffering the most severe violence in the world today. Romania turns left after election interference On Sunday, Romania has taken the centrist-left position with the election of a new president named Nicușor Dan. Dan is supportive of Romania's participation in the European Union, and has made moves to approve the homosexual/transgender movement in his country. The more conservative candidate, George-Nicolae Simion, lost the election in a vote of 54% to 46%. Romania is the second largest Eastern European country by population.  The mainstream media is interpreting this election as an international rejection of the Trump agenda.  The back story is that Călin Georgescu, the conservative in the first round of the Romanian presidential election last December, garnered the most votes among the six presidential candidates at that time. After his opponents claimed that Russia had influenced the election through TikTok accounts, Romanian government officials detained Georgescu, canceled that election, and re-set it for May 18th.  Tens of thousands of Romanians protested in the streets back in March. At the time, Elon Musk said, “They just arrested the person who won the most votes in the Romanian presidential election. This is messed up.” Most and least benevolent countries According to this year's Gallup World Happiness Report, the most benevolent countries in the world, judged by donations and volunteer hours, are Indonesia, the United States, Kenya, Gambia, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand. The least benevolent countries are Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco.  Biden announces advanced prostate cancer Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, reports CBS News. On Sunday, President Trump posted on social media that he and First Lady Melania Trump are "saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis." Appearing on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday, former Obama health advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel said the cancer is so advanced, he has had it for many years. SCARBOROUGH: “Doesn't it take some time for prostate cancer to develop to a point where it would spread to the bones?” EMANUEL: “He's had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.” Dr. Emanuel explained how serious Biden's prostate cancer truly is. EMANUEL: “That Gleason score, that score is from 2 up to 10, and he's at a 9. That means that the cancer doesn't look normal. It looks very abnormal.” Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, talk show host Hugh Hewitt was incredulous. HEWITT: “This is the fourth time, in a little over 100 years, that a Democratic president -- Woodrow Wilson, FDR, John F. Kennedy and now Joe Biden, have hidden crucial details about their health as Commander-in-Chief from the American people. Ronald Reagan did not do that. “And it just astonishes me that in a free republic, we have to worry about our leaders telling us whether they're healthy or not.” Supremes allows Trump to revoke protection for thousands of illegal Venezuelans On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport 350,000 Venezuelans who are presently living in the U.S. on what they call a “humanitarian parole,” reports NBC News. Christian camp sues over foolish transgender mandates The State of Colorado is threatening to shut down a Christian Camp called Idrahaje -- short for “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” The Colorado Department of Early Childhood has refused to grant the camp a religious exemption concerning its transgender policies. This would require the camp to allow boys, pretending to be girls, to sleep, shower, and dress with female campers. The camp has sued the state, with representation from Alliance Defending Freedom. The camp disciples 2,500 to 3,000 students each year with the mission to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”  Camp Idrahaje has complied with all regulations until this year when the Colorado government officials released new gender identity rules that became effective on February 14, 2025. 96% of atheists embrace homosexual/transgender agenda The most likely group in America to support the homosexual/transgender agenda are atheists with 96% professing support.  By contrast, 70% of white Evangelical Protestants oppose the lifestyle. Psalm 14:1 describes the atheist this way: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.” Mother loses right to disciple daughter Liberty Counsel is defending a mother in the state of Maine who has lost the right to guide the religious upbringing of her 11-year-old girl in a custody case.  This includes taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel services on Sunday.   A state district judge has ruled against the mother, citing “The ‘fear mongering,' paranoia, and anxiety taught by Calvary Chapel has, more likely than not, already had an impact on [the daughter's] childhood development.”   Expert testimony concluded that Calvary Chapel is a cult, the church's pastor a “charismatic” speaker, who spoke “authoritatively” in his messages, and that he asserted his messages were objective truth.   Liberty Counsel is appealing the case to the Maine Supreme Court. They still persecute people who preach about Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says, “For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” Housing prices sag Since June 2022, housing prices are sagging in some metro areas around the U.S. — 22.8% in the Austin market, 9.9% in the Phoenix market, 9.2% in the San Francisco market, 9.1% in the San Antonio Market, 7.3% in the Denver market, and 6.7% in the Dallas Market. The Consumer Price Index has also risen about 10% over that period of time. Moody's downgraded America's financial rating And finally, in a year-over-year comparison, the U.S. government is still breaking records for fiscal expenditures running 10% over Fiscal Year 2024. Moody's has downgraded the U.S. as a long-term issuer of bonds by one notch, ending a perfect rating for America over the last 108 years.  No longer does the U.S, government get a Aaa rating, the highest level available. Now, it's an Aa1. Moody's noted that the downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.” The rating organization added that: “Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.”   Another independent rating service, named Fitch, downgraded the United States in 2023.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

A federal court in Denver has found a former member of Gambia's military guilty of torturing five people accused of involvement in a failed coup against the West African country in 2006. This constitutes a rare prosecution in the United States for torture committed abroad. Also, the UK's Supreme Court passed a ruling on the meaning of the word "woman" as used in the country's Equality Act from 2010. In a unanimous decision, the court said that "woman" refers to people assigned the female gender at birth, and does not extend to transgender women. Critics of the decision say it marks a "huge blow" to the rights of trans people across the country. Also, more than 1,000 Israeli spies and soldiers, past and present, have petitioned their government to cease military actions in Gaza.
