The0:11ceremony marked 81 years [music] since0:13the bombing with an exceptionally large0:15international turnout filling the park0:17for remembrance and speeches. Mayor0:19Shiro Suzuki spoke at the memorial and0:21Prime Minister Sinagi also spoke at the0:23event, placing the city's remembrance0:25and the national [music] government's0:26position on the same stage. Mayor Suzuki0:29used the anniversary to [music] denounce0:30growing support for nuclear deterrents0:32and to call on the Japanese government0:34to adhere to its [music] three post-war0:35non-nuclear principles as the central0:37message of the day. Those principles are0:39not possessing, not producing, and not0:42introducing nuclear weapons. The0:44post-war stance Suzuki [music] pressed0:46the government to hold as arguments for0:47deterrents gain traction. The appeal is0:50grounded in the scale of loss the0:51anniversary recalls. The atomic bombing0:53of Hiroshima killed 140,000 people, and0:563 days later the bomb dropped by the0:57United States on Nagasaki [music] killed0:5970,000. Broader independent confirmation1:01is still limited. What remains1:03unresolved is whether the government1:04will publicly recommit to all three1:06principles [music]1:07and how this exceptionally large1:08international presence shapes pressure1:10on Japan's nuclear policy after the 81st1:13anniversary.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
