Later at a news conference, Mr Suga said he had no plans to sign the prohibition treaty. Japanese prime minister Yoshihide Suga, who attended the ceremony in Hiroshima, did not mention the treaty and instead stressed the need for a more “realistic” approach to bridge the nuclear and non-nuclear weapons states and by strengthening the Non-Proliferation Treaty. He also demanded called for Japan to provide productive mediation between nuclear and non-nuclear weapons states. The video was provided by local media with permission. Luckily, Zhong's son made her out of the kitchen before it exploded. Zhong said the gas leaked out as the valve was not turned off properly. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. The mother named Zhong was seen carrying her son to run out of the room. However, the liquefied gas suddenly exploded in the kitchen less than ten seconds after she walked out. Video shot in the city of Zhanjiang in Guangdong Province on December 3 shows a mother walking out of the kitchen as her son was crying.

The United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. “No sustainable society is possible with these weapons continually poised for indiscriminate slaughter.” “Nuclear weapons, developed to win wars, are a threat of total annihilation that we can certainly end, if all nations work together,” Mr Matsui said. Mayor Kazumi Matsui urged world leaders to commit to nuclear disarmament as seriously as they tackle the pandemic, which the international community recognises as “threat to humanity”. Hiroshima has marked the 76th anniversary of the world’s first atomic bombing, as the mayor of the Japanese city urged global leaders to unite to eliminate nuclear weapons – just as they are united against the coronavirus.
