From the streets of London to the beaches of North Africa, Marines carried their purpose into every corner of a world at war. They trained with the Royal Marines, guarded embassies under fire, planned Allied landings, and fought in places where no division would ever march. When Japan fell, they raised the flag over Yokosuka and Nagasaki, guarded surrendered fleets, and kept order through the uneasy calm that followed. Peace offered no rest. The Corps faced demobilization, doubt, and then a new kind of war in Korea's frozen mountains. At Pusan, Inchon, and Chosin, they proved the spirit of the Pacific had not dimmed.

80 ans après lʹexplosion des bombes atomique sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki, a-t-on pris la mesure de cet événement considérable ? Conçue par le photographe et artiste genevois Nicolas Crispini, cette exposition explore sa mémoire immédiate et sa postérité à travers plusieurs types dʹinstallations : témoignages, photos, films, livres, objets, sons ou entretiens. Le parcours est placé sous la thématique de lʹApocalypse nucléaire qui menace dʹextinction toute vie sur la planète. De nombreuses personnalités le rappellent ici tel le célèbre protestant Albert Schweitzer. "Apocalypses - Quʹavez-vous vu à Hiroshima ?", à voir au Musée international de la Réforme GE, jusquʹau 11 janvier 2026. Nicolas Crispini est lʹinvité de Pierre Philippe Cadert.
Los estallidos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki más que por razones militares estratégicas fueron impulsados por los intereses comerciales de las multinacionales del Complejo Militar Industrial norteamericano, en especial las armamentistas, que cuentan con un lobby militar permanente en la Casa Blanca. La carrera armamentista (nuclear, convencional y espacial), cuyo presupuesto hoy supera el billón de dólares, tuvo su punto de partida en Hiroshima y Nagasaki. Cómo se articuló y quienes son los que lucran con el "negocio nuclear". Los estallidos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki así lo demuestran las investigaciones independientes más que por razones militares estratégicas fueron impulsados por los intereses de las corporaciones del Complejo Militar Industrial norteamericano, en especial las armamentistas, que cuentan con un lobby militar permanente en la Casa Blanca. Las bombas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki no fueron arrojadas para "evitar más muertes" ni para precipitar la "rendición" del Japón: fueron lanzadas para iniciar la carrera armamentista (y consecuentemente el incremento sideral de la tasa de ganancias de las corporaciones del Complejo Militar Industrial que financiaron el proyecto de bombardeo), y lanzar un alerta amedrentador a la Unión Soviética, la otra potencia con capacidad nuclear. El genocidio aterrador de Hiroshima y Nagasaki le sirvió a los bancos y corporaciones (amparados por el Estado Nacional norteamericano) para instalar la carrera armamentista y la carrera espacial debajo de los acuerdos de "coexistencia pacífica" que mantenía al poder nuclear como efecto "disuasivo". El marco nuclear de la "coexistencia pacífica" (además de alimentar el negocio de las corporaciones aeroespaciales) sirvió de cáscara para desarrollar la confrontación por "áreas de influencia" entre EEUU y la URSS durante la Guerra Fría, mediante la cual la "industria de la guerra" (convencional y nuclear) facturó ganancias en armamento cuyo presupuesto mundial hoy supera el billón de dólares. En términos prácticos, y en números, la masacre nuclear de Hiroshima y Nagasaki sirvió a las trasnacionales y bancos para instalar la industria y la financiación del armamentismo (nuclear y convencional) tomado como "efecto disuasivo" para "evitar que sucedan" otras tragedias similares. La carrera armamentista (nuclear y convencional) alimenta los contratos y las ganancias de los consorcios agrupados en ese monstruo llamado Complejo Militar Industrial norteamericano. En su último informe Project on Government Oversight (POGO, Proyecto de Supervisión Gubernamental), un grupo con sede en Washington que vigila el gasto militar, señaló que, entre enero de 1997 y mayo de 2004, sólo 20 grandes proveedores recibieron más del 40 por ciento de los 244.000 millones de dólares en contratos del gobierno federal estadounidense. Entre los consorcios que se benefician en primer lugar de esta práctica se cuentan Lockheed Martin, la gigante aeroespacial Boeing, Northrop Grumman, contratista de la Fuerza Aérea, Raytheon, y General Dynamics. Boeing fabricó los bombarderos que transportaron las bombas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, e integró el "lobby militar" que promovió e impulsó el proyecto compuesto entre otros por, Carnegie, Dupont, Westinghouse, Union Carbide, Tenesee Eastman, Kellogg, y Monsanto.

In this episode of Restored, Corie Weathers speaks with author and filmmaker Victoria Kelly, and producer/director Beatrice "B" Becette, the creators of the documentary Atomic Echoes: Untold Stories of World War II. Their journey began when Karin Tanabe and Victoria discovered that their families were connected by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — one as an American medic sent into the ruins, the other as a Japanese educator helping rebuild after the war. Together with producer Beatrice Becette, they set out to uncover the forgotten voices of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors and the American atomic veterans who lived in the aftermath. Through shared storytelling, their work explores how reconciliation begins — not through politics, but through listening, empathy, and remembering. This conversation reminds us that peace isn't just the absence of war — it's the hard, human work of facing history, honoring grief, and choosing hope.

Yan talks about his recent bear hunting adventures in Northern Honshu and the rising bear attacks in Japan.

Yon also connects these themes to current events in Japan, Thailand, Venezuela, Argentina, and the U.S., offering a detailed historical context that ties everything together. The conversation explores the importance of being adaptable in changing times and underscores the significance of private initiatives and self-sufficiency in the face of globalist agendas.

Lured Up Podcast 371 Live Streamed on - 11/10/2025 Publish Date - 11/14/2025 Pokémon GO has been treating Trainers pretty well since the Leveling update. Great events, new Pokémon and Shiny releases all delivered in a balanced and manageable cadence. We recap how great the events have been with the Halloween double feature, then Enchanted Hollow, and now Into The Wild.

The news cycle remains packed, with information on November and December Community Days, the debut of DMAX Eevee, and even the save-the-dates for next season. It seems that while the game and product teams may fumble sometimes, generally, the game has been feeling great. This weekend brings us GO Wild Area: Global, and GO HUb has put together a really great event guide that touches on just about every corner of the two day event. It lays out strategies for everything from box maintenance to sunscreen.GMAX Grimsnarl will be on most Trainer's radar during the event, so we put together a little MAX Battle Party for it.

Japan's political scene is changing—from new parties rising in visibility to historic moments in national leadership—so the Krewe is bringing you a timely crash course. Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do. We explore the major and emerging parties shaping the landscape, the issues driving debate today, and how international pressures and global events influence domestic policy. Tobias also sheds light on the media's role in shaping public perception and political accountability.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

As memórias de quem viveu um centenário e presenciou o bombardeio a Hiroshima ultrapassam fronteiras de tempo, espaço e linguagem, mas ganharam forma sensível e poética no curta-metragem 'Alma Errante - Hibakusha'. O documentário mergulha no imaginário de Takashi Morita, sobrevivente da bomba atômica, ex-soldado da Guarda Imperial japonesa e ativista pela paz, que faleceu no Brasil, em 2024, aos 100 anos. Dirigida pelo cineasta Joel Yamaji, a produção fez sua estreia internacional no 26º Festival de Cinema Asiático de San Diego, na Califórnia, no domingo (9). Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles O projeto começou há quase três décadas, quando o cineasta conheceu a família Morita em São Paulo, em 1996. Desde lá, Yamaji acumulou horas de imagens e depoimentos até encontrar a forma que desejava. Mais do que um registro histórico, o filme é um poema visual. “Não queria explorar o sofrimento em forma de espetáculo. Queria um filme sobre a paz, sobre aqueles que passaram pela guerra e continuaram. É sobre a superação", conta o diretor. Yamaji define o curta como uma obra que ultrapassa o documentário tradicional, mistura gerações em uma metáfora de convivência. “Eu sempre acho que a poesia no cinema é necessária, ainda mais num mundo em guerra. O Sr. Takashi sempre professou a paz, então quis fazer um filme que fosse um poema, não uma denúncia", diz Yamaji. A herança da memória e a mensagem de paz A filha do Sr. Takashi, Yasuko Morita, veio a San Diego para a apresentação de 'Alma Errante - Hibakusha'. Ela acompanha a trajetória do filme, do legado e das memórias dos pais que ouvia desde criança, ambos sobreviventes de Hiroshima. “Além deles serem um casal muito unido, eram companheiros da mesma lembrança. Eu e meu irmão crescemos ouvindo essas histórias. Eles eram vítimas de uma mesma tragédia, mas unidos pela esperança. Meu pai nunca falou mal de ninguém. Quando perguntavam se ele tinha raiva dos Estados Unidos, ele dizia: ‘Não. Eu tenho raiva da guerra', contou Yasuko. Ela relembrou ainda que seu pai dedicou a vida a campanhas sobre a paz e à Associação de Sobreviventes da Bomba Atômica no Brasil, criada por ele para garantir assistência médica e promover campanhas de conscientização. “As nossas campanhas pela paz sempre foram voltadas aos jovens, para entenderem que a bomba atômica não pode andar com a humanidade. Meu pai dizia: ‘Hiroshima foi a primeira. Nagasaki tem que ser a última", disse ela. Yasuko reforça o simbolismo de trazer o filme agora aos Estados Unidos, país que lançou a bomba e que há poucos dias o presidente Donald Trump falou em retornar os testes nucleares. Ela relembra a última conversa que teve com o pai. "As últimas falas do meu pai antes de falecer me tocaram bastante. Ele falou assim: 'A gente não fez o suficiente, olhe como está o mundo agora'. Eu disse: 'Mas o senhor fez o que podia. E o resto tem que ficar para outras pessoas continuarem.' Depois de dois meses que ele tinha falecido, uma entidade de sobreviventes lá do Japão, com quem nós tínhamos bastante contato, foi premiada com o Prêmio Nobel da Paz. Eu pensei, papai, o senhor iria ficar tão orgulhoso!", finaliza.

Kako misliti nuklearno dobo in na kakšne načine je izum jedrskega orožja vplival na vojskovanje, diplomacijo, znanost in človekov položaj v svetu Odkar so Združene države pred 80 leti na Hirošimo in Nagasaki odvrgle atomski bombi, svet ni več isti. Drugačen je zrak, ki ga dihamo in vse od tistega trenutka vsebuje sevanje, drugačna je zemlja, ki je bila deležna sevanja ne le dveh uradno odvrženih bomb, ampak tudi več kot dva tisoč še močnejših bomb, ki so jih velesile poizkusno detonirale v nadaljnjih desetletjih. Spremenile pa so se tudi manj oprijemljive reči: spremenil se je način, kako se odvijajo vojne in diplomacija, spremenil se je način, kako se financira znanost, morda ni isti niti položaj človeka v svetu, ki ima naenkrat zmožnost Zemljo čez noč spremeniti do nerazpoznavnega stanja, v katerem se naše življenje - vsaj v dosedanji obliki - ne bi moglo nadaljevati. Kljub enormnim razsežnostim dejstva, da smo ljudje dejansko ustvarili nekaj tako uničujočega, pa se s tem danes razmeroma malo ukvarjamo. Če je bil prvih nekaj desetletij strah še otipljivo navzoč, kubanska raketna kriza, ki je svet pahnila na sam rob jedrske vojne, pa je dejansko pripeljala do nekaterih obsežnih sporazumov in omejitev oboroževanja, se zdimo danes kar nekako pomirjeni s tem, da ima vsaj 9 držav na svetu atomsko bombo in da je atomsko orožje prav v vsakem trenutku v pripravljenosti za uporabo. Še več, celo opuščanje težko doseženih sporazumov in napovedi testiranja jedrskega orožja, ki se ravnokar dogajajo, nas ne pretresejo zares. V tokratni Intelekti se bomo pogovarjali o tem, zakaj tako težko mislimo atomsko dobo ter kako je atomsko orožje pravzaprav spremenilo naš svet.

Man prātā nāk vismaz divas – Jāņa Mediņa "Uguns un nakts" un Alfrēda Kalniņa "Baņuta", kuru liktenī kuģiem, jūrai un pat okeāniem bijusi itin nozīmīga loma. Pirmā kuģotāja 1919.gada rudenī bijusi "Baņuta", tomēr stāstu sākšu ar Jāni Mediņu un viņa "Uguni un nakti". Ar operas klavierizvilkumu kamiešos – un tas nav nekāds poētisms, bet skaudra realitāte, it īpaši ņemot vērā to, ka notis svērušas kādus 20 kilogramus – Mediņš kopā ar sievu Olgu līdz ar citiem latviešu strēlniekiem no Sarkanās armijas glābdamies, šķērso visu Sibīriju, līdz 1920.gada maijā beidzot sasniedz Vladivostoku, lai tālāk jau ar kuģiem dotos uz Curugas ostu Japānā. Tur viņus gaida okeāna tvaikoni Voroņeža – zem Anglijas karoga un ar argentīniešu kapteini. Jaunās Latvijas valsts valdība apmaksājusi mūsu strēlnieku mājupceļu. Pirmā pieturvieta – Nagasaki, tālāk jau seko Singapūra, Kolombo Ceilonā, vētra Indijas okeānā, Sarkanā jūra, Suecas kanāls, Gibraltārs, spāņu vīna žvingulis Malagā, kuģošana gar Portugāles un Spānijas krastiem Atlantijas okeānā. Kad sasniegta Lielbritānija, kuģim Temzas dokos vajadzējis piemontēt mīnu ķērājus, jo Baltijas jūra vēl nebija pilnībā atmīnēta. Mediņš vēl pēc daudziem gadiem atcerējās – mīnu ķeramie izskatījās kā torpēdas, apmēram pusotra metra garumā, ar stipru stiepli priekšgalā, kas tad mīnu uztvertu un kādus desmit metrus no kuģa liktu tai sprāgt. Kad Dancigā uz kuģa uzkāpj locis – īsts jūrnieku puika ar žoķeni galvā, īsts "džonītis", kā saka Mediņš, un pamana visādam gadījumam sagatavotās glābšanas laivas, virves, signālraķetes un dzeramo ūdeni, "džonītis" kapteinim uzkliedz, ko velti baidot karavīrus un sievas ar bērniem. Nevienas mīnas jūrā vairs neesot, lai vācot visu nost, viņš nu atbildot par kuģi. Kad 3. oktobrī laimīgi tikuši līdz Liepājas kara ostai, četrus mēnešus ilgais un 23 000 kilometrus garais kuģojums no Vladivostokas bija galā. Ostā strēlniekus gaidījuši Latvijas karavīri ar orķestri un "Dievs, svētī Latviju!". Raudājuši visi. Un par operu – kaut vēlāk Mediņš pastāvējis uz to, ka viņa "Uguns un nakts" bijusi pabeigta vēl pirms Kalniņa "Baņutas", ir arī liecības, ka 1920. gada oktobrī tā līdz Rīgai nonākusi vēl tikai klavierizvilkumā. Tātad – bija padarām vēl viss lielais orķestrēšanas darbs. Bet "Baņuta"? "Baņuta" jau pirms mēnešiem četriem – maija beigās – bija izskanējusi uz Nacionālās operas skatuves, iemantodama pirmās latviešu nacionālās operas godu. Un izrādās, arī "Baņutas" liktenī savu lomu spēlējuši kuģi un kuģošana. Alfrēds Kalniņš "Baņutu" sācis rakstīt, atsaukdamies Jāņa Akuratera pamudinājumam jau 1918. gadā, un ļoti ražīgi to dara Liepājā arī tad, kad ir sākušās Neatkarības cīņas – vispirms pret sarkanajiem, tad fon der Golca armiju visbeidzot pret bermontiešiem. Kalniņš "Baņutu" komponē Liepājā, itin kā nemanīdams karastāvokli, komandanta stundu, teju pilsoņu kara apstākļos draudošo badu... Nu jā, pret to noturēties palīdz arī meitiņas Birutas ganītais vistu bars pašu mītnesvietas dārzā. Pāris mēnešus pēc tam, kad Latvijas pagaidu valdība jūnijā no dreifēšanas ar kuģi var atgriezties uz cietzemes – vispirms Liepājā, pēc tam jau Rīgā, arī Alfrēds Kalniņš saņem uzaicinājumu doties uz Rīgu un kļūt par Izglītības ministrijas Mākslas departamenta Mūzikas nodaļas vadītāju. Jūrasceļš ir vienīgais daudzmaz drošais, un tā nu septembra vidū, nospēlējis atvadu koncertu pie Svētās Annas baznīcas ērģelēm, Kalniņš ar ģimeni kāpj uz kuģa, lai dotos uz Rīgu. Tad – 1919. gadā – gan vēl jūrā bija arī mīnu lauki, un Liepājas avīzēs pēc kāda laika parādās ziņa, ka Kalniņa kuģis tiešām uzdūries mīnām un nogrimis. Par laimi, ziņu vajadzēja vien atsaukt. Izrādās – kuģim pa ceļam ievajadzējās remontu, un Kalniņi pāris dienas palika Ventspilī, kur Alfrēds uz pat pamanījās sarīkot ērģeļkoncertu! Tā nu no Liepājas līdz Rīgai Kalniņi kuģoja četras dienas. Tieši tad, kad viņi beidzot 8. oktobrī tiek līdz Rīgas ostai, sākas Bermonta-Avalova armijas uzbrukums Rīgai, arī gaisa uzlidojumi. Kuģim ar visiem Kalniņiem pavēl atgriezties jūrā. Tikai dienu vēlāk jau vēlā vakarā viņus pa galvu, pa kaklu izsēdina krastā, bet visa iedzīve un arī "Baņutas" partitūra (un arī tie bija pamatīgi saiņi!) atgriežas jūrā. Tā nu "Baņuta" un visa Kalniņu iedzīve kādu laiku dreifē pa līci, līdz beidzot tomēr kuģis atgriežas ostā. Kalniņš gan jau bija sadomājies no Rīgas braukt prom, jo viņam te galīgi nepatīk. Tomēr nu, kad "Baņuta" un mēbeles izkrautas krastā, būs vien jāpaliek. Jo jau ir nolemts "Baņutu" uzvest – 1920. gada pavasarī. Kalniņu – kā jau ļoti atbildīgu cilvēku (un ļoti atbildīgu ierēdni) –, ļoti uztrauca operas direkcijas nodomi "Baņutas" iestudēšanai tērēt milzu naudas summas. Pēckara laikā pat spainis krāsas dekorācijām vai baķis auduma tērpiem maksāja baltu naudu (ja vispār bija atrodami). Kalniņam viss likās tik pārspīlēti dārgi un grezni, ka pārņēma bailes – vai "Baņuta" vispār ir tamlīdzīgu tēriņu vērta. Pirmizrāde notika 1920. gada 29. maijā. Operu uzņēmuši silti, klāt bija Latvijas prezidents Čakste, bijuši vainagi, puķes, veltes, tomēr pirmie gadi operai bijuši tik grūti, ka iespaidīgās Jāņa Kugas "Baņutas" dekorācijas pēc kāda laika tikušas "nomazgātas", lai uz audekliem varētu gleznot nākamās – citām operām vai baletiem. Jā, "Baņuta" tika iestudēta vien pusgadu pēc Neatkarības cīņu beigām, kad kara postažu Rīgā vēl varēja skaidri redzēt.

Eighty years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the shadow of nuclear weapons has re-emerged on the world stage. Once thought to be relics of a bygone era, they are again the subject of fierce rhetoric between Washington, Moscow and Beijing.
Hablamos con la gallega Lucía Solla Sobral de su debut en la literatura, Comerás flores (Ed. Libros del Asteroide), novela sobre las muchas formas -a veces camufladas de amor- que puede adoptar el maltrato psicológico dentro de la pareja. Luego Javier Lostalé abre su ventanita poética a Vida ávida, la poesía reunida de Ángel Guinda que publica la editorial Olifante ahora que se cumplen tres años de la muerte del autor aragonés. Por su parte, Ignacio Elguero nos recomienda varias lecturas: la edición bilingüe e ilustrada de Haikus de la bomba atómica (Ed. Hiperión), en los que la japonesa Seiko Ota sintetiza los conocimientos y testimonios de los supervivientes de los bombardeos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, y la versíón del clásico Hansel y Gretel (Ed. Lumen) que ha hecho Stephen King a partir de los diseños de escenografía y vestuario que el mítico ilustrador estadounidense Maurice Sendak concibió en su momento para una ópera.En Peligro en La estación nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul nos invita a pensar en las diferencias entre lo que llamamos literatura comercial y "literaria" al hilo de la polémica por el último Premio Planeta.Terminamos el programa en compañía de Mariano Peyrou, que hoy nos sorprende con De las cosas pálidas (Ed. La Bella Varsovia), el nuevo poemario de Alberto Santamaría, en el que el escritor cántabro aborda asuntos de calado como la identidad, la autopercepción y las relaciones con los demás a través de detalles aparentemente banales.Escuchar audio
Filosoferna Torbjörn Tännsjö, Jonna Bornemark och Lyra Ekström Lindbäck svarar på lyssnarnas frågor. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Per-Daniel frågar: Varför ska vi bry oss om kommande generationer? De har ju inte gjort särskilt mycket för oss och vi vet inte ens om de kommer att finnas.Efter en sommar av mer eller mindre intensiv samvaro behöver signaturen ”mamman” filosofernas hjälp. Vad är en familj och var börjar och slutar den, frågar hon. De amerikanska atombomberna som detonerade över Hiroshima och Nagasaki 1945 krävde 100 000-tals japanska dödsoffer, den absoluta majoriteten civila. Anfallet försvarades med att en invasion av Japan hade krävt ännu fler dödsoffer, och att bomberna tvingade fram en kapitulation. Filosofen Elizabeth Anscombe kritiserade detta resonemang och menade att mord på oskyldiga alltid är fel, även om det innebär att färre människor får sätta livet till. Håller ni med Anscombe, undrar Joel.Karin frågar: Hur värderar ni den svenska kulturkanon som nyligen publicerades? Hur kommer den påverka hur vi svenskar agerar tillsammans?

Dans ce nouvel épisode, Mathieu et Nico vous emmènent à Nagasaki, une ville fascinante du sud du Japon, au carrefour de l'histoire, des cultures et des influences. Lors de notre voyage du mois dernier, nous avons découvert une cité portuaire unique, où le Japon s'est ouvert pour la première fois au monde extérieur.Nous voyagerons dans des lieux emblématiques comme Dejima, l'ancienne île artificielle où les Hollandais commerçaient pendant la période d'isolement du Japon, un témoignage vivant des premiers échanges entre l'archipel et l'Occident.Mais aussi le quartier d'Oura, avec son atmosphère européenne et ses églises inscrites au patrimoine mondial, ainsi que la maison Glover, perchée sur les hauteurs, qui offre une vue imprenable sur la baie de Nagasaki. Ce lieu emblématique raconte l'histoire de Thomas Glover, un Écossais venu au XIXe siècle, considéré comme l'un des pionniers de la modernisation du Japon.Mais Nagasaki, ce n'est pas qu'un passé de rencontres internationales — c'est aussi un lieu de contrastes et de charme, entre mer et collines, ruelles pittoresques, tramways anciens et îles mystérieuses comme Gunkanjima, aujourd'hui inhabitée, mais chargée d'histoire industrielle et d'émotions.Mathieu et Nico évoqueront aussi les saveurs métissées de Nagasaki : du célèbre chanpon, plat de nouilles inspiré de la cuisine chinoise, sans oublier le castella, un gâteau à l'éponge d'origine portugaise devenu symbole local.Entre modernité tranquille et héritage cosmopolite, cet épisode est une invitation à explorer une autre facette du Japon : celle d'une ville où se croisent encore les influences venues de la mer, et où chaque ruelle semble raconter une histoire.Sortie le 8 novembre 2025#Japon #日本 #cuisine #gunkanjima #vacances # nagasaki #出島 #軍艦島 #長崎

Operation Olympic was the first phase of Operation Downfall—the Allied plan to invade Japan and end World War II. Set for November 1, 1945, this massive amphibious assault on Kyushu was canceled after Japan surrendered following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war.In this episode, MacArthur Memorial historians Amanda Williams and Jim Zobel break down the operation's objectives, scale, and historical context. This episode also includes a bonus Q&A of listener questions that were recorded after the initial program.

Cześć, 9 sierpnia 1945 roku na Nagasaki spadła bomba atomowa. W ciągu kilku sekund miasto, w którym żyło wtedy ponad 240 tysięcy ludzi, zamieniło się w morze ruin. W samym epicentrum wybuchu śmiertelność sięgała ponad 90%. Beton kruszył się jak szkło, a fala uderzeniowa zmiatała wszystko, co stanęło jej na drodze. Tysiące ludzi nie miało żadnych szans na przeżycie.Następnego dnia prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych wystąpił w telewizji, mówiąc o wielkiej odpowiedzialności Amerykanów za użycie śmiercionośnej broni. Nie wspomniał jednak o Nagasaki. Skupił się na Hiroszimie, mieście, które już trzy dni wcześniej zostało niemal całkowicie zrównane z ziemią. W tym czasie w Nagasaki powstawały pierwsze punkty pomocy. Do miasta zaczęła napływać pomoc z okolicznych regionów. Mieszkańcy pobliskich wiosek przekazywali dary, a lekarze próbowali ratować rannych... często bez leków, sprzętu i sił.Jak wyglądały kolejne dni, tygodnie i miesiące w Nagasaki – w mieście, które przeżyło drugą w historii eksplozję atomową? Tego dowiecie się z najnowszego odcinka serii „Powojnie.”
80 Jahre nach den Atombombenabwürfen auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki kehrt das Thema Atomwaffen auf die Weltbühne zurück. Während US-Präsident Donald Trump überraschend eine trilaterale Zusammenarbeit mit Russland und China zur Denuklearisierung andeutet, reagiert Moskau mit der Ankündigung, sich auf neue Atomtests vorzubereiten. China wiederum baut sein Waffenarsenal weiter aus und beobachtet das geopolitische Ringen aufmerksam. Expertinnen warnen vor einer gefährlichen Kettenreaktion.

Short English Summary : In this episode, Noriko talks about negative heritage/negative legacy - sites that preserve tragic history, such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Auschwitz. Why do we keep these painful memories? To forget, or to remember? She shares her own experiences and invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of preserving dark heritage.Takeaways負の遺産は悲しい歴史を伝える場所である。世界遺産には美しい自然や歴史的な文化価値がある場所だけでなく、負の遺産も含まれる。広島の原爆ドームはその一例である。過去の悲劇を忘れないために、歴史的な場所を残す意義がある。教育目的で訪れることが重要である。人間の判断ミスが引き起こした災害について考える必要がある。悲しい歴史を学ぶことは未来にとって重要である。

The new White House memoranda on domestic terrorism follows in the footsteps of the Biden, Obama, and Bush administrations in labeling criticism and resistance to government policies, actions, and direction as threats against the country. Meanwhile the pentagon is preparing to build an aggressive military, which as history has show, will never sit idly by and go to waste. The same is true for new weapons systems. If you have them, you will use them. This is very arguably what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Founding fathers of the U.S. largely believed that a standing army was dangerous and that armed citizens were more of a deterrent against tyranny and invasion. However, as Washington believed, this was only applicable if the citizens were responsible. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Nagasaki: The Last Witnesses (Penguin Random House, 2025) is the second volume in a prize-worthy two-book series based on years of irreplicable personal interviews with survivors about each of the atomic bomb drops, first in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, that hastened the end of the Pacific War. On August 6, 1945, the United States unleashed a weapon unlike anything the world had ever seen. Then, just three days later, when Japan showed no sign of surrender, the United States took aim at Nagasaki.Rendered in harrowing detail, this historical narrative is the second and final volume in M. G. Sheftall's series Embers. Sheftall has spent years personally interviewing hibakusha—the Japanese word for atomic bomb survivors. These last living witnesses are a vanishing memory resource, the only people who can still provide us with reliable and detailed testimony about life in their cities before the use of nuclear weaponry.The result is an intimate, firsthand account of life in Nagasaki, and the story of incomprehensible devastation and resilience in the aftermath of the second atomic bomb drop. This blow-by-blow account takes us from the city streets, as word of the attack on Hiroshima reaches civilians, to the cockpit of Bockscar, when Charles Sweeney dropped “Fat Man,” to the interminable six days while the world waited to see if Japan would surrender to the Allies–or if more bombs would fall.

As poignant as it is powerful, this gripping narrative chronicles one of history's darkest nightmare moments—the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945—and the memories of its surviving eyewitnesses. As the events fade from living memory, Hiroshima is at once a brilliant tribute and a cautionary tale.”—Annie Jacobsen, author of Nuclear War: A Scenario“An important, deep-dive book into most every detail about the atomic bomb's making and use, in anger.

As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, he'd won World War II. His proximity fuse intercepted hundreds of V-1s and destroyed thousands of tanks, carving a path for Allied forces through the French countryside. Back in 1942, he'd advocated to President Roosevelt the merits of Oppenheimer's atomic bomb. Roosevelt and his congressional allies snuck hundreds of millions in covert funding to the OSRD's planned projects in Oak Ridge and Los Alamos. Writing directly and secretively to Bush, a one-line memo in June expressed Roosevelt's total confidence in his Director: “Do you have the money?” Indeed he did. The warheads it bought would fall on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in mere weeks. The Germans had already given up; Victory in the Pacific was nigh. So Bush was thinking ahead. In The Atlantic, Bush returned to a pre-war obsession with communication and knowledge-exchange. His essay, “As We May Think,” imagined a new metascientifical endeavor (emphasis mine): https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-project-xanadu-the-internet
We are raiding the Guardian long read archives to bring you some classic pieces from years past, with new introductions from the authors. This week, from 2022: The horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made the whole world afraid of the atomic bomb – even those who might launch one. Today that fear has mostly passed out of living memory, and with it we may have lost a crucial safeguard By Daniel Immerwahr. Read by Christopher Ragland.

This week on Right Answers Mostly, we're diving into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” haunted genius, and reluctant face of America's most destructive creation. But don't worry, we're not leaving you in the fallout without a soundtrack. We're breaking down Oppenheimer's journey with a little help from Taylor Swift's greatest hits, because sometimes the only way to understand the Manhattan Project is to say, "look what you made me do." From his bohemian youth, to the ethical torment that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to his public trial and humiliation during the Red Scare, we'll ask whether Oppenheimer was the tragic anti-hero of his own story, or just a man stuck in a cycle politics, paranoia, and power. History is just gossip after all, even when discussing the Atomic Bomb. Created and produce by Tess Bellomo & Claire Donald For more RAM, follow us here!

August marked the 80th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We're thinking about how that singular incident changed filmmaking.
Henry Sokolski, Plutonium, Nuclear Proliferation, and International Debate Henry Sokolski discusses the global debate surrounding plutonium, a highly poisonous substance used in nuclear weapons, especially by China, South Korea, and Britain. He explains that plutonium can be extracted from nuclear power reactors and quickly used to make a bomb, similar to the Nagasaki weapon. Sokolski criticizes the US Energy Department for suggesting that new reactor designs like Natrium and Ollo can extract plutonium while leaving enough radionuclides to prevent bomb-making, a claim previously debunked by studies. He highlights proliferation risks, citing South Korea's historical attempts to use civil reprocessing to acquire nuclear weapons. 1951 RB-36 PESCEMAKER
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 9-5 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Las Vegas as the Strip struggles with decline. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Jeff Bliss, Las Vegas Tourism Decline and Anaheim Development Jeff Bliss reports a significant decline in Las Vegas tourism, with a 12% drop in visitors, which he attributes to the city's nickel and diming practices by major corporations like MGM and Caesar's Palace, coupled with the rise of online gambling. Despite increased gaming revenue, the broader city economy, including restaurants and hotels not part of the strip, is suffering. Vegas resorts are now offering discounts and food credits to attract visitors. Nevada's unique lack of a state lottery, forcing residents to cross state lines for games like Powerball, also highlights a peculiar disadvantage. In Anaheim, a proposed skyway/gondola system aims to connect Disneyland, hotels, and sports venues. 915-930 Brandon Weichert, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Economic Impact Brandon Weichert and John Batchelor discuss artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with Weichert expressing optimism for AI's long-term economic benefits, though he finds a 7% GDP growth projection very optimistic. He believes AI will augment, not replace, human work, leading to positive productivity gains over time, especially in manufacturing and tech sectors. The conversation touches on AI's current competitiveness in generating novel research hypotheses, nearly matching humans in a Science magazine study, but humans still slightly lead in designing experiments. Weichertsees quantum computing as the next breakthrough 930-945 Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University Funding Professor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power. First, he analyzes Judge Charles Brier's ruling that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in Southern California was partially illegal, citing the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. Epstein distinguishes between protecting federal interests and overstepping into local policing, as with traffic violations or raids far from Los Angeles. He criticizes the political polarization between Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom for hindering cooperation during emergencies. Second, Epstein addresses Judge Allison Burroughs' interim decision against Trump's freezing of Harvard's research funds over anti-Semitism allegations, warning of long-term damage to US medical research. 945-1000 CONTINUED Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University FundingProfessor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Bradley Bowman, Chinese Military Parade and US Security Bradley Bowman discusses a recent massive Chinese military parade, noting the presence of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un, with the president of Iran also in attendance. He views the parade as a demonstration of China's decades-long effort to build a military capable of defeating the US in the Pacific, highlighting the erosion of American security and increased likelihood of a Taiwan Strait conflict. Specific concerns include modernized hypersonic YJ seriesanti-ship missiles challenging US naval interception, the DF61 intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at the US, and a low-observable tailless drone for manned fighters.1015-1030 Conrad Black, Canadian Politics, Mr. Carney's Government, and Regional Challenges Conrad Black discusses the challenges facing Mr. Carney's new Canadian government, particularly the unrest in Alberta. Carney's extreme green views threaten Alberta's oil and ranching economy, leading to a significant separatist movement that could see the province join the United States if its energy exports aren't facilitated. Black notes that Carney has yet to reveal his plans to address this or the historical cultural and political challenges posed by Quebec, a wealthy province with aspirations for independence. Carney has been robust on national security, agreeing with President Trump that Canada needs increased defense spending.1030-1045 Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals.1045-1100 CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses Angelica Schuyler Church (1755-1814), a prominent figure during the American Revolution. Born to the influential Schuyler family in Albany, Angelica was well-educated, a trait uncommon for women of her time but typical for Dutch families. She eloped with John Carter (later John Barker Church), much to her family's dismay, a decision perhaps driven by love for the cosmopolitan Englishman. Angelica was deeply involved in the revolutionary cause, supporting the French army and maintaining a strong patriotic identity even while living in London after the war. She cultivated extensive connections with key figures like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette .1115-1130 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution 1130-1145 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses 1145-1200 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer .

The US successfully recruited theoretical physicists fleeing Nazi Germany, nurturing a scientific reserve for the atomic bomb project. Burnham notes that after World War II, the US continued to prioritize basic science funding, leading to its technological edge. However, he suggests the US is currently struggling with this, as funding issues and regulatory uncertainty are driving American scientists abroad and limiting foreign talent attraction while countries like China, the EU, France, and Canada actively recruit US scientists.1230-1245 Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples. Klavan, a former atheist, was propelled to faith by Klavan, a former atheist, was propelled to faith by pondering evil, suggesting that recognizing objective moral order is necessary to condemn acts like those of the Marquis de Sade. The book examines Leopold and Loeb, who murdered to prove their superiority and live beyond good and evil, but left a crucial clue, highlighting their human fallibility. Klavan also considers Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, whose rationalized yet pointless murder leads to a breakdown of his self-deception. Klavan argues artistic creation, like Michelangelo's Pietà, can redeem or transform the subject of art.1245-100 AM CONTINUED Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples.
