Once concealed from the public, the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima has unveiled another aspect of its after effects – radiation poisoning.
Never before had humanity cumulated research and development with exclusively destructive purposes. A weapon that kills twice – first by explosion, and then by poisoning – was used on Japanese soil.
On the 64th anniversary of the bombings RT offers an in-depth-report on the sufferings of the victims.
Its hero – Doctor Shuntaro Hida, an 89-year-old survivor of the bombing – knows every horrible detail of the event after the decades he spent taking care of other survivors.
Watch the documentary Atomic Wounds on August 5, 6 on RT.

Bulgaria’s declarations nothing more than election speculation – PACEBusiness Director of PACE Global Energy Services Vyacheslav Mischenko gave his comments on Bulgaria’s announcement that it wants to suspend its role in the South Stream project and proceed with the Nabucco pipeline. |
The programme Atomic Wounds gives information that has been withheld from most of the Western world & confirms that not only did the US commit horrific war crimes by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, but were also guilty of the worst inhuman treatment of victims of the bombs when the US occupied the country. We should be asking why the US has not been prosecuted for this barbaric behaviour when they are so quick to accuse others of war crimes. Well done, RT.
