Quick Glance: Daniel McGovern's Documentation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

US Officer Daniel McGovern documented the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, a stark contrast to the omission in the film "Oppenheimer."

McGovern witnessed the destructive power of the atomic bombs and transformed into a passionate war opponent.

Japanese doctors were helpless in the face of the aftermath of the atomic bombings, which claimed over 200,000 lives.

The decision to drop the atomic bombs was questioned as Japan was already militarily defeated, with the bombs primarily serving to intimidate the Russians.

South Korean court hears children's climate change case against government

reut.rs/44dxeBz

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government

Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.

A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.

Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.

During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.
