'Could be your city': a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor's warning

13 Sept 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

Masao Ito, a four-year-old survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, vividly recalls the immediate aftermath, including the deaths of his brother and sister, and the horrific mass cremations.
Now an 82-year-old 'hibakusha' and anti-nuclear campaigner, Ito serves as a volunteer guide, sharing his experiences to warn global leaders, including those at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, about the dangers of nuclear weapons.
Ito's core message emphasizes that the presence of nuclear weapons inherently risks their use, stating: 'As long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, there is a possibility that your city could become like Hiroshima.'
Despite initial anger towards the US, Ito's perspective evolved through peace advocacy, leading him to empower younger generations to continue the vital mission of achieving a world free from nuclear weapons.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
