but in japan they go this way so little difference in america we go come here this way and japan they go come here this way. so this cat is telling you to come in here and you see at the base right here a gold piece. so the cat is telling you come into our shop and make money for us. i'm not sure why he had eight ball eyes. that's it. and japanese community has many superstitious thing sometime. they said the right hand means something the left hand means something else whether it's so white cat a gold cat or black cat and means various things, but i'm not sure i can't keep up with all the myth that goes with the monarchy cat. you look at the rooftop. at the building behind me. what do you see there? he's seen gold fish like this is to ward off evil spirit the fish in order to spit water. so that's for fire protection. so if you go to nagoya japan at the castle, you see a similar fish there. that's the ward off evil spirit or for fire protection. right here is one of three remaining grocery stores in the little tokyo area and the peak population in the 1930s and 40s. we had dozens of

during the early 1900s japanese came from japan to america to get rich and go back to japan. but that didn't happen. but it was basically a male population, about 20-1 japanese men versus the female, so there was no social life. so, some of them wanted to settle down, so they start the picture bride system. the picture bride system is probably a predecessor to e-harmony. the family and friend would solicit a bride for them. at that time every family had a family registry. all they had to do was register the female's name in the male's family register and they're officially married, from now with picture in hand they come to america, usually port of entry was san francisco. so, now, they say, wow, there's a handsome young man 20 years old, but they find out that the groom looks like 30 years old, so they were misled. the picture was about ten years old. but then it really got out of hand. some people start sending handsome dude's picture back to japan, and when the prospective bride came to america, they were really misled, so america asked japan to outlaw picture brides, so i

to japan's most famous mixed-race athletes given -- two of japan's most famous mixed-race athletes giving the honor of letting the cauldron. but in the two weeks since, naomi osaka's -- naomi osaka has been targeted with abuse, with some questioning whether she is actually japanese. is something she knows well, when she became the first mixed-race you -- watching the ellen pick opening ceremony, arianna says she was pretty skeptical. >> i do not know why they were chosen. it seems like it was to get good publicity. reporter: japan has a lot of mixed-race celebrities and sports stars. biracial people are often held up as being more beautiful, even more intelligent. she says within that, there still a hierarchy. >> half white people are greatly celebrated in japan but when it comes to half black people, it is different. when i was working as a model, i was told that a lot of japane women were not where the close eyewear because my skin color is different. reporter: he's a writer who has lived in japan for 17 years. he says naomi osaka lighting the olympic cauldron will not change the fact t

this is veronica just in japan talking, not me here about this. they said out loud that the olympics have actually harmed the corona virus situation in japan, if not directly, then certainly indirectly. and that is something that is going to be one of the legacies of these olympic games. it's going to everyone in japan is going to have to live with ok, job point car. thank you so much for joining us here on our to 0. we appreciate it . thank you. me a week long nationwide mas vaccination campaign is underway in bangladesh. government seems to document the 3000000 people against cope with 19 tanveer. children has more from docker. this is the 1st day or bangladesh of mass vaccination campaign against covey. 19. many have to deal with over crowding long queues and breach of health protocols at several vaccination centers in the capital dock up somewhere frustrated because of confusion about apartments. i kind of, i mean days, vision going to be in the region. i came in because i registered for the vaccine 20 days ago. but now they're telling me ther

it was invented to defeat japan t because what we realize japan was contemplating a concept a country made up of the biggest tender boxes in the world constructed out of wooden and tarpaper houses standing side-by-side on narrow streets if you put a match in the a middle the whole thing would go up in flames so the army produce the world's greatest incendiary weapon and they do that. napalm is the opposite idea not trying to drop a bomb with precision but just burn the whole thing down. and those two ideas are championed by different people in the t air corps at the beginning of the second world war. >> exactly. and the people that champion that bomb site those that became the bomber mafia were actually in a way, idealistic about fighting wars and it is embodied in haywood cancel. >> he is such an american character like the gatsby novel. he is a fifth generation southern military family great grandfather who was a general in the confederate army. a romantic poetry writing, the favorite novel identifies my favorite story is gone so much from the homeland that he comes with his wife an

to america to get rich and go back to japan. but that didn't happen. but it was basically a male population of, about 20 to one japanese men versus a female, so there's no social life. so some of them wanted to settle down so they started the picture bride system. the picture right system probably predecessor to eharmony. a person here would take sent a picture of themselves back to japan, usually a family or friend, and then a family or friend would solicit a bright for them. theat that time, every family hd a family registry. all they had to do was register the female famous name into males family might register, and they'll officially mary. now, with picture in hand, it comes to the eu to america. usually, the point of entry was san francisco. and now, they say wow, that's handsome young man of 20 years old, and they find out that the groom looks like 30 years old. so they are misled. the picture was about ten years old. but then it really got out of hand some. people start sending a handsome dude's picture back to japan, and

probably never been to japan. never had loyalty to the emperor of japan, but they didn't know how to answer that. how could they give up the loyalty to the emperor of japan if they never had it. but they could only answer yes or no. so, people were confused on that. and then the real other one was that are you willing to fight for the military wherever called for. and, again, they're 17 years old. does that mean, yes, you're willing to fight for america and go today or would they wait until you finished your high school and get your high school diploma and go fight for america at a later date, so those were the two controversial questions number 27 and 28. this is about the saito family. they had four boys, three of them says they're going to go fight for america. the father protested. he said, why should you fight for america? we were incarcerated behind barbed wire fence and armed guards, no charges against us. no due process of law, but just because we look like the enemy, we're incarcerated, so why should you

i was not invented for vietnam but to defeat japan because japan realized in the 1930s they were made up the tinderbox's of the world cities constructed out of wooden and tarpaper houses standing side-by-side on narrow streets if you put a match in the middle of it the whole thing would go up in flames so a group of chemist at harvard university to produce the greatest weapon and napalm is the opposite idea you will not drop a bomb with precision but you will drop it and burn the whole thing down. so those two ideas are championed by different people in the air corps at the beginning of the second world war. >> exactly. the people who champion that, the bomb site the bomber mafia in a way were idealistic about fighting wars and so tell us about haywood. >> he is such an american and character. he is a pre- generations southern military family great-grandfather was a general the confederate army a romantic poetry writing his favorite novel is because he identifies with the night tapping on the windows my favorite story he's gone so much from his home life one time he comes home having

raids on japan. they ask haywood hansell to command that operation. he takes a whole fleet of b 29s to guam and they build the biggest airport in the world actually. >> yeah. >> and hansell's idea is i'm not going to kill japanese civilians. i'm not going to burn down the whole country. i'm going to take out their -- the plants they use to manufacture airplanes. i'm going to reduce their ability to wage war from the air to rubble. and that will render them defenseless against any kind of american assault. right? it is the strategy that was straight out of bomber mafia 101. this is what they were dreaming of back in alabama in the 1930s, that you didn't have to attack everyone, you just look at the most military strategic targets and take them out. he says that's what i'm going to do. he tries it, tries it, and tries it, throughout november and december and early january of 1944 and 45, he makes one mission -- sends one mission after another from guam to japan and he can't do anything. the norton bomb

i think it's fair to say this is not the olympics that japan had envisioned, when they were awarded the games in tokyo back in 2011 in the middle of a pandemic. no spectators, lots of domestic opposition to this, with protests, and so on. but given all of those limitations, can it still be seen as a success? and how is that success measured? >> well, that is a difficult question, and that really depends on which stakeholder is being given that question, right? so for the ioc, they will most definitely say this is going to be a success, because their main income comes from tv rights, and it's a tv only event now. well, if you talk to the japanese population, the thing looks very, very different, as they are being shut out from the games, but they're being held there. they were very cautious about the possibility of different virus mutations coming into the country. you know, 200 countries coming into their city. when you look at the japanese government, the costs are tremendous. when you look at the sponsors, a lot of them have now declined tv ads. they kind of stepped back, because they

next, we discussed japan's second-quarter gdp. keio university professor and former boj board member so you ratio, will join us. this is bloomberg. -- former boj board member so you ratio right -- so you're sherry will join us. sherry: bitcoin continues to trade above a key technical level, and digital currencies as a whole back above the $2 trillion valuation. bloomberg's su keenan is here with the latest. either gaining 50% in the past week? >> susanne: an enormous surge. all of these alternative coins rising is bolstering bitcoin. cardano, etherium, ripple's xrp , dogecoin began as a joke and has gotten support from billionaires. the rally in cryptocurrencies has pushed the combined crypto market value over the $2 trillion mark for the first time really since may. some bitcoin bulls are expressing confidence that bitcoin, given the rise in all these coins, will exceed its all-time high above $60,000. you might recall there was a big pullback in april, may, and june. it has slowly come back all through august, getting after abou

wendy 44, markhe is finally was enough to japan that they can launch on japan and they asked haywood cancel to commanded that operation into take a b-29 to go want to build the biggest in the world and they started to launch these rates on japan enhances ideas that they're not going to have really going to burn down the whole country kill civilians i'm going to take out there plans that they used to manufacture airplanes freedom going to reduce their ability to wage war from the air to rubble. that will render them defenseless against american assaults. it is a strategy was straight out of bomber mafia 101 and this was what they were doing out back and tell them that back in 1936 pretty just looked at the military strategic targeting to come out. he's that's what i'm going to do and he tries it and he tries any transit throughout and in december and early january of 1944 and 1945, he makes one mission after another from guam to japan. the northern bomb beside doesn't do what it is supposed to do any thinks he can finally get it right and he really believes and is given enough time th

so that was the first organized colony from japan. los angeles little tokyo started when we had also a shipwreck sailor from the san diego area. he came up here and then in 1885 he started the first japanese american restaurant here in little tokyo. common ground the heart of community and this instance were talking about the japanese american community here the united states. the japanese were enticed to go to hawaii the sugar plantation people came to japan to recruit workers. they said gee if you work three years in the sugar plantations of hawaii. it's equivalent to working 10 years in a factory since japan. so close to 1,000 people way back in 1885 went on 103 year labor contract to the sugar plantations of hawaii, but when they got there, they found out differently. they had four minutes or lunas. they had whips they used the leather whoops on the workers. so slave like condition. so many of them got out of their three year labor contract escaped to maybe the coffee plantations or the pineapple plantations and some of them went

we would defeat japan because what we realize japan was in 1932 japan is a country made up of the biggest -- and the world a city constructed on tarpaper houses standing side-by-side on narrow streets. if you put a match in the middle of it the whole thing would go uput in flames. the army passed a group of chemists to the worlds greatest incendiary weapon and they do that. napalm is the opposite idea. they are trying to drop the bomb and just burn the whole thing down those two ideas are championed by y different people within the air corps at the beginning of the second world war. >> exactly and the people whot are championing the bomb site who becameom the bomber mafia we in a way idealistic about fighting wars and embodied in this with a wood handle. tell us about him. >> haywood canceled as such american character. you know what i'm saying. a fitzgerald novel. he's southern military family. his great-grandfather was in the confederate army. he's the romantic broadway writing poetry saying novelist and dan cody -- my favorite story is he's gone so much from his home life that one time

and now i want to move over to japan. second quarter growth outpaced expectations of less than one percent. which pans are recovery still, lags way behind what we are seeing in china, or even the us, which saw growth of 6.5 percent in the 2nd quarter. the japanese economy minister said that he has very mixed feelings about this gdp result. adding the priority is to prevent the spread of the virus. it's very bad for the economy for the situation to continue to drag on. what factors are we looking at that are causing japan to struggle? when the 2 largest economies, there's no thriving, they still have their own issues, but they're making bigger leaps. yeah, thriving is definitely a bit of a stretch there, but i don't think any economy is driving right now. but to your point, japan's recovery has lag far behind china and the u. s. by quite a bit. but even pretty pandemic though. japan was already struggling with growth even with it's given its dwindling exports. so japan has been experiencing less global demand for its prima

but california was the site of the immigrants from japan. the first colony was in northern california, about 30 miles north of sacramento. and it was an ill fated -- colony. they lasted about two years, so that was the first organized colony of japan. little tokyo started when we had a ship wrecked sailor from san diego. he came up here, and then in 1885 he started the first japanese american restaurants in a little tokyo. >> common ground, the heart of community. and this is what we are talking about with japanese american community here in the united states. the japanese were enticed to go to hawaii. a sugar plantation people came to japan to recruit workers. they said, gee, if you worked in the sugar plantations of hawaii is equivalent to working ten years in a factory in japan. so, close to 1000 people, way back in 1885 went on a three-year labor contract to a sugar plantation in hawaii. but when they got there, they found out differently. they had a foreman's who had whips. they used leather whips on the workers. so, it was slave like c

i kind of look at japan as a... ryan mcneil is a writer who has lived in japan for 17 years. he says naomi osaka lighting the olympic cauldron will not change the fact that most japanese still think this is a mono—ethnic society. so, first thing japan would need to do is disperse with that rumour, with that fallacy that they're a homogenous country. it's a misconception, and the fact that they haven't been correcting it is feeding this negativity, the response to naomi osaka and rui hachimura and all these people, because most japanese people don't understand this basic fact, that their country is not homogenous. biracial people are not the only ones who face exclusion and discrimination injapan. in the southern okinawan islands, there are nearly 1.5 million ryukan people who are not even recognised as an official minority despite having their own culture and language. in the far north, there are the ainu people, and then injapan�*s big cities, like here, there is the group that perhaps faces the greatest hostility, and those are ethnic koreans. they never mentioned ethni

really upset quite few people in japan. though?— really upset quite few people in japan, though? that's right, i have to sa he japan, though? that's right, i have to say he has _ japan, though? that's right, i have to say he has never— japan, though? that's right, i have to say he has never really - japan, though? that's right, i have to say he has never really been - japan, though? that's right, i have to say he has never really been a i to say he has never really been a popular person here injapan because a lot of people feel that the ioc has somewhat forced the japanese government to go ahead with the olympics. 0f government to go ahead with the olympics. of course, they would 0lympics. of course, they would never acknowledge that, but the contract between the ioc and togo didn't exactly give the japanese government the right to cancel the games without possibly facing future lawsuits. then thomas bach a's previous comments like, people have to make sacrifices, didn't go down too well and yesterday we were talking about how the ioc didn't listen to the request to hold a minu

and the committee and japan is sitting. there's some very comfortably alongside them, i think their 4th or 5th currently in the metals table, which is, as i said, historically much higher than they normally would be. yeah, great bring you mentioned there is an interesting example that we can come back to in terms of their, their sporting achievements at the lympics over the last few years. but i want to get the view of richard. now on this, what do you think should be the legacy of the tokyo olympics? i think they can be called the compromised lympics or the television olympics. i personally thought they should have been delayed another year to had the full effect with the fans there and spectators from overseas. but that didn't happen. so we have to live with it now. and so i think the legacy will be got to call it. you hiccups along the way, we've only got 5 days to go. we'll see what happens with the paralympics, but as the compromised or television olympics that went ahead the ios, the pushed forward on that delay tilt

i kind of look at japan as a... baye mcneil is a writer who has lived in japan for 17 years. he says naomi osaka lighting the olympic cauldron will not change the fact that most japanese still think this is a mono—ethnic society. so, first thing japan would need to do is disperse with that rumour, with that fallacy that they're a homogenous country. it's a misconception, and the fact that they haven't been correcting it is feeding this negativity, the response to naomi osaka and rui hachimura and all these people, because most japanese people don't understand this basic fact, that their country is not homogenous. biracial people are not the only ones who face exclusion and discrimination injapan. in the southern okinawan islands, there are nearly 1.5 million ryukyuan people who are not even recognised as an official minority despite having their own culture and language. in the far north, there are the ainu people, and then injapan�*s big cities, like here, there is the group that perhaps faces the greatest hostility, and those are ethnic koreans. they never mentioned eth

and amec, but, and demi games was really important for japan and not to give that to china. but you know, i don't know what's gonna happen in the next 6 months. it's, there's, you know, everyday things change so much. i would not dare to give any assumptions what we're going to be seeing in the next 6 months. fair enough. ross griffin, if, if, if some sort of a boy car does happen and i'm not saying it will for china and in 20 for beijing in 2022. what, what will be the ramifications of that? you think it's hard to say, my own personal opinion. i think money talks in these things, so i don't see any boy, i don't see any boy happening. i don't see any delay in the game's happening. if contracts are signed by television, companies and sponsors, i think the games are going to go ahead. if you want some hint as to how things could panel, i think looking at the russian olympic committee team as it's called. and these games might give you some clue in all of these by thought, just incredibly unfair to punish the needs i think, who have spent their entire lives. not just for your s

indeed, ithink the popularity _ japan. indeed, ithink the popularity of _ japan. indeed, i think the i popularity of skateboarding definitely got the boost after we saw those many medals that japanese athletes managed to win. as for the legacy, i think it really depends on how the pandemic is going to pan out after this. of course, we have been talking about the record numbers of new infections almost every single day. of course prime minister has to hold an election by the end of october and his popularity hasn't exactly recovered, yoshihide suga, he was hoping going ahead with the games despite strong public opposition, at 1.80% of the japanese public were against the games. then they started reluctantly accepting they started reluctantly accepting the fact it was going to go ahead. people are still not really that happy it went ahead. i do not think people really blame foreign athletes, for the virus by the very fact the games have been taking place in this city, as you can see around me, people are out and about, they do not feel the need to stay—at—home t

i was not invented for vietnam but to defeat japan because japan realized in the 1930s they were made up the tinderbox's of the world cities constructed out of wooden and tarpaper houses standing side-by-side on narrow streets if you put a match in the middle of it the whole thing would go up in flames so a group of chemist at harvard university to produce the greatest weapon and napalm is the opposite idea you will not drop a bomb with precision but you will drop it and burn the whole thing down. so those two ideas are championed by different people in the air corps at the beginning of the second world war. >> exactly. the people who champion that, the bomb site the bomber mafia in a way were idealistic about fighting wars and so tell us about haywood. >> he is such an american and character. he is a pre- generations southern military family great-grandfather was a general the confederate army a romantic poetry writing his favorite novel is because he identifies with the night tapping on the windows my favorite story he's gone so much from his home life one time he comes home having

it has been an incredible few weeks and the japan. in the controversy leading up to the games we had an overwhelming majority of the japanese public opposing the games, wanting them to be either cancelled or postponed. went to the game started, we sought the opinion shift slightly because of all the gold rush and all the medals team japan has one. japan has done incredibly well, it has managed to when a 58 medals in total, including 27 golds, thatis medals in total, including 27 golds, that is the best performance ever lt—team japan. that has shifted the opinion slightly, but of course we are now continue to see the surge in covid—19 cases and a lot of concerns about how hospitals are getting overwhelmed. the government is now asking covid—19 patients with mild symptoms to stay at home instead of putting extra pressure on the hospitals. that is not going down too well because when you say mild symptoms, they could obviously be having breathing difficulties and so on as well. also, a lot of excitement about the paralympics, which

how popular is the sport in japan?— good morning. how popular is the sport in japan? you know what, i did not realise how— sport in japan? you know what, i did not realise how popular— sport in japan? you know what, i did not realise how popular it _ sport in japan? you know what, i did not realise how popular it was - sport in japan? you know what, i did not realise how popular it was until. not realise how popular it was until we saw those amazing young athletes doing so extremely well. after say that podium was so adorable. as you said, 19—year—old sakura yozozumi winning the gold but 12—year—old kokona hiraki is was 13—year—old sky brown becoming the youngest medalists for their own countries and of course sky brown posit mother is japanese even though your presented teams you become what we feel like she is part of team japan as well. and just last week we had the youngest ever gold medallist in japan as well but i think what i have enjoyed the most is their post match interviews in which they don't really seem to understand the amazing achievemen

the people fighting to overcome japan's disability. shame. oh. even on a rainy day, sucking horror looks peaceful. in 2016. the small town near tokyo was the thought of one of japan biggest mass killings since world war 2 elma cock. i don't think they told him, i can't hold them. i'll go and look her up to kashi and to kiko owners disabled son with badly injured that day. in july 2016 never passed all her contact statements for that tonight they put them on. we did it on a job. they, they're not all in the early hours of the morning armed with a knife. the killer said toy she way not through broke into a care home for the disabled room of law, the fema. from the external court, i will go through the cpanel and all that kind of a former employee at the care home way, much to music way around. as he made his way through the building, he stopped the disabled patience, murdering 19, and injuring 27 others. after the attack, he surrendered himself at a nearby police station, reportedly saying it's better that the disabled just disappear. i feel 9 the

both of your parents were born in japan. you were born in this country but, like your parents, you're considered japanese american. japan is causing trouble in the south pacific, but then hitler's causing trouble in europe and all of that is far away. for you, life is good. until it isn't. on december 7th, 1941, japan attacks america bombing its military base at pearl harbor hawaii. 2500 american soldiers and sailors die. almost as many americans died in the twin towers on 9/11. you see papa cry. he loves america. how could the land of his birth have attacked the land of his heart? the public is outraged by pearl harbor and america quickly declares war on japan. within days, the u.s. is also at war with germany and italy. world war ii has begun. it is a horrible time for you and your family and your friends. everyone is instantly suspicious of japanese-americans. the fbi swoops in and arrests community leaders, teachers, journalists, farmers, priests, business owners. anyone considered to have ties to japan or influence in t
