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.
