TAPS WERE SOUNDED AND OLD GLORY BROUGHT DOWN AND VETERANS OF THREE WARS PAID TRIBUTE TUESDAY TO ``MIGHTY MO,'' THE USS MISSOURI, AS AMERICA'S LAST ACTIVE BATTLESHIP WAS RETIRED. THE SHIP WHERE JAPAN FORMALLY SURRENDERED IN 1945, AND WHICH POUNDED IRAQI FORCES WITH ONE-TON SHELLS DURING THE PERSIAN GULF WAR WAS DECOMMISSIONED BECAUSE OF DEFENSE CUTS AND A DIMINISHED SOVIET THREAT. REP. IKE SKELTON, D-MO., SPOKE FROM THE DECK. HE WARNED THAT TOO MUCH DISARMAMENT WAS DANGEROUS, AND EXPRESSED REGRET THAT THE NAVY DIDN'T ASK FOR THE MONEY TO KEEP THE SHIP BATTLE-READY. ``THOSE WHO WOULD SLASH OUR MILITARY EVEN FURTHER THAN THE PLANNED 25 PERCENT REDUCTION ... LACK AN UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY'S LESSONS,'' SAID SKELTON, A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. ``TIME AND TIME AGAIN, IN THIS CENTURY WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY PATH OF DEMOBILIZATION, DISARMAMENT, AND UNPREPAREDNESS, ONLY TO REGRET THAT COURSE OF ACTION A FEW SHORT YEARS LATER,'' HE SAID. IT WAS THE SECOND TIME THE MISSOURI WAS DECOMMISSIONED. THE IRST TIME WAS IN 1955; IT WENT BACK INTO SERVICE IN 1986. THREATENING SKIES CLEARED FOR THE CEREMONY AT THE LONG BEACH NAVAL STATION.

SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister "I have been clearly saying that I was going to pay a visit to Yasukuni on the 15th August. People say "Koizumi" never listens to others once he makes up his mind. It is not always the case. I have one mouth but luckily have have two ears. I thought I have to listen to people's opinions as a prime minister. So for the past two weeks, putting my own ideas aside, I became very frank and listened to various opinions. After considering the matter at length, I came to the conclusion that today is the day for me to pay a visit. It is my own decision." 9. Koizumi walking into entrance of the shrine (replay) 10. Koizumi walking down into Yasukuni shrine (replay) STORYLINE: Crowds of journalists, cameras and photographers flocked to the controversial Yasukuni shrine on Monday as Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi offered his silent respects. Koizumi was keeping a promise to visit the shrine but abandoning a plan to do so on the anniversary later this week of Japan's World War II surrender. Koizumi, who was led to the shrine's altar by a silk-clad priest, had repeatedly said since taking office in April that he would like to visit Tokyo's Yasukuni shrine on the anniversary of Japan's Aug. 15, 1945 surrender, which is Wednesday. But he announced Monday that he had decided to speed up the visit because the plan to go on the anniversary had generated outrage from Japan's neighbours and concern among members of his own ruling coalition. Many Asians see the shrine as a monument to militarism, and some Japanese fear official visits to it violate the separation of religion and state. Koizumi tried to dispel criticism that the visit was intended to glorify Japanese militarism. "I want to express my deepest condolences to all the people who sacrificed their lives in the war," he said in a statement issued just before the visit. "Our country should never again walk the path to war." The last prime minister to go on the anniversary was Yasuhiro Nakasone in 1985. Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto went to Yasukuni on his birthday in July 1996, but the furor abroad was so intense he canceled subsequent visits while in office. The shrine is not merely for those who died in World War II - the souls worshipped there include virtually all Japanese war dead dating back to the late 1800s. But politicians' visits to the shrine, part of Japan's Shinto religion, are particularly controversial because war criminals, including executed former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who led Japan during World War II, are among the 2.5 million Japanese soldiers honoured there. The loudest protests against the visit had come from South Korea, China and other Asian countries that were victims of Japanese aggression.

Candle light vigil in front of the Japanese Embassy 17. Protesters chanting 18. Protesting sight STORYLINE: South Korean officials, civic activists, university students, and war veterans angrily protested throughout South Korea on Thursday against the Japan's moves to promote its claim over the Korean islets of Dokdo. The latest spat escalated after Japan's Shimane Prefectural Assembly on Wednesday approved a symbolic measure making February 22 "Takeshima Day" to commemorate Tokyo's territorial claim. South Koreans calls the islands Dokdo. Tokyo's claim to the islets has stirred deep-rooted Korean sentiments against Japan, a key trading partner of South Korea and Seoul's ally in international efforts to persuade communist North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programs. Dozens of officials working for a memorial on Korea's liberation from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule held a demonstration in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul. Also several civic groups launched a boycott of products made by four Japanese firms, such as Panasonic and Mitsubishi, which sponsored the publication of textbooks which they say glorifies Japan's murky past. There were no reports of injuries or violence erupting in the continuing protests. Elementary, middle and high school teachers also joined in the wave of anti-Japanese protests. Schools across the country said they held special class to teach their students about Dokdo. Meanwhile, South Korea Unification Minister Chung Dong-young read a nationally televised statement after South Korea's National Security Council met to discuss an accelerating territorial dispute over the rocky outcroppings. Japan ruled the Korean Peninsula as a colony from 1910 until its World War II defeat in 1945. The islets, surrounded by rich fishing grounds, have long caused friction between the two countries. South Korea keeps a small detachment of police on the otherwise uninhabited islands, effectively controlling them, and said Wednesday it would open them to more visitors.

Wide shot of statue of peace where doves were released NTV 17. Various of school choir performing STORYLINE: Nagasaki's mayor warned on Monday the new nuclear weapons the United States wants to develop would cause as much radiation contamination as the atomic bomb dropped on the southern Japanese city 59 years ago, as he marked the anniversary of the attack. At the annual memorial ceremony Itcho Ito recounted how tens of thousands perished in the World War II bombing of Nagasaki and said many victims continue to suffer. Ito told thousands gathered at the city's Peace Park: "the path leading to the eventual survival of the human race unequivocally requires the elimination of nuclear arms". Ito said Washington must scrap its nuclear arsenal before the world can be free of nuclear weapons. He urged Americans to face the "terrifying reality" the bomb's victims have lived with since the attack. "It's clear that as long as the world's most powerful country continues to rely on nuclear weapons, other countries can't pursue nuclear non-proliferation," he said in a nationally broadcast speech. "If humankind is to survive the only path left for us is the abolition of nuclear weapons." Washington has had a self-imposed ban on nuclear testing since 1992. But it has conducted so-called subcritical nuclear weapons testing - which detonates bomb-grade plutonium but stops short of full-fledged nuclear blasts - since 1997. In June, U.S. lawmakers approved spending for research into nuclear warheads that would set off smaller explosions or destroy underground targets. Talking at the ceremony Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi reiterated Japan's policy banning the production, possession and transport of nuclear weapons within its borders. "Our country won't change that stance," Koizumi said, echoing his remarks on Friday on the anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Koizumi also vowed to continue pressing for more nations to ratify a nuclear non-proliferation pact and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which would ban nuclear arms testing and make developing new weapons almost impossible. Nagasaki this year added 2,707 people to a list of those who have died from after-effects, putting the total number of the city's bomb victims at 134,592. At the ceremony, officials placed chrysanthemum wreaths at the foot of a peace statue. Attendees then observed a minute of silence as a bell tolled at 11:02 a.m. - the minute the B-29 bomber Bock's Car dropped the bomb dubbed "Fat Man" on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. About 70-thousand people were killed in the explosion. Hiroshima had been bombed three days earlier, killing or wounding 160-thousand people. On August 15, 1945, Japan's surrender ended World War II.

Ban leaving STORYLINE The site of the world's worst atomic bomb attack echoed with choirs of schoolchildren and the solemn ringing of bells on Friday as Hiroshima marked its biggest memorial yet and the first to be attended by the US and other major nuclear powers. Washington's decision to send US Ambassador to Japan, John Roos to the 65th anniversary of the bombing was seen by many as potentially paving the way for President Barack Obama to visit Hiroshima - which would be unprecedented for a sitting US leader. Along with the US, Britain and France also made their first official appearance at the memorial, as well as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Altogether, 74 nations were represented. China, which sent a low-ranking official in 2008, was not participating. Officials said it did not give a reason. Hiroshima was careful to ensure that the memorial - while honouring the 140-thousand who died on or soon after the attack on August 6, 1945 - emphasised a look-forward approach, focusing not on whether the bombing was justified, a point which many Japanese dispute, but on averting a future nuclear attack. Roos said the memorial was a chance to show resolve toward nuclear disarmament. "For the sake of future generations, we must continue to work together to realise a world without nuclear weapons," he said in a statement. Ban, who presented flowers at the Eternal Flame in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, said this year's memorial will send a strong signal to the world that nuclear weapons must be destroyed. Ban said that the time has come to move to a world without any nuclear arms. "As long as nuclear weapons exist we will live under nuclear shadow and that is why I have made nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation a top priority for the United Nations," he said. The Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, said it was their "moral duty to take leadership and act" so that the world could be without nuclear weapons. Washington's decision to attend the anniversary has been welcomed by Japan's government, but has generated complex feelings among some Japanese who see the bombing as unjustified and want the United States to apologise. But others, like Taga - a Hiroshima resident and high school teacher, think that although it might not be enough, it is still "an achievement". "He came while there are still people who support the usage of nuclear weapons in his country," Taga said. About 140-thousand people were killed or died within months when the American B-29 "Enola Gay" bombed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Three days later, about 80-thousand people died after the United States attacked Nagasaki. The United States decided to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it believed that would speed up Japan's surrender and avoid the tough battles expected to take Japan's mainland. Fears of bloody battles were heightened by Japan's intense defences of outlying islands - such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Japan surrendered on August 15, ending World War II. Concerns that attending the ceremony - an emotional event beginning with the offering of water to the dead and a moment of silence to soothe their souls - would reopen old wounds had kept the US away until this year. Former President Jimmy Carter visited Hiroshima's Peace Museum in 1984, years after he was out of office. The highest-ranking American to visit while in office is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who went in 2008. Roos also visited Hiroshima soon after assuming his post last year. None went for the annual memorial, however. Hiroshima has invited Obama to visit the city, and he has expressed interest in doing so at some point while he is in office. But such a visit would be highly controversial. At Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, where Friday's ceremony was held, Buddhist monks were seen chanting and playing drums as a group of people performed a die-in performance at the moment of detonation 65 years ago . Also on Friday, Ban visited an atomic bomb survivor. Speaking at a news conference after the meeting, Ban said it was "most profoundly moving experience." "Those meetings with them have strengthened my determination to work even harder and harder," he said. The number of survivors able to attend the ceremony is steadily falling as more die of old age. According to Japan's Kyodo news agency, the average age of the survivors is over 76 years, and the number of certified survivors has fallen to 227,565 from a peak of 370-thousand.
