People in Japan's Hiroshima welcome Nobel win for atomic bomb survivors

Residents and visitors in Japan's Hiroshima welcome the Nobel committee's decision to award this year's peace prize to Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors pushing for a nuclear weapons ban. The committee noted on Friday that next year will mark 80 years since two American atomic bombs killed an estimated 214,000 inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, prompting Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.

00:00I think my mother passed away, but my mother, grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother were all exposed to the atomic bomb.
00:29I feel like I've finally been rewarded.
01:00I wish people would take a bit more notice of what learned from the past to come towards the present, but I don't think people are going to take notice.
01:09It seems to be human nature, they don't take notice of what's happened in the past, what's going to affect in the future.
01:14I think it's really wonderful though that they've actually received a priest's prize.
