HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources

ON THIS DAY, 75 years ago, US warplane Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the city centre of Hiroshima, a busy residential and business district, which was crowded with people going about their daily business.
The bomb, called Little Boy because of its long, thin shape, contained uranium-235.
Unimpeded by hills or natural features to limit the blast, the fireball created by that single bomb destroyed 13 square kilometres of the city.

The protests against the US presidential visit are over, but the public probably doesn’t know that new US nuclear bombs are now stationed here, putting us all in danger — we have to raise awareness and get them out, writes CND’s KATE HUDSON
