Atomic bomb survivor Tsuboi Sunao was one of the leading voices calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons. He died in October at the age of 96. On the day of the bombing of Hiroshima, he was just 1.2 kilometers from the epicenter and barely survived. He dedicated the rest of his life to the fight against nuclear weapons. And in 2016, he met then US President Barack Obama, the leader of the country that dropped the bomb on his hometown. We look back on his life and hear from people who knew him about the message he wanted to convey to future generations.

A British scientist diagnosed with a debilitating disease was given two years to live. Rather than submitting to the prognosis, he turned to technology to fight it. In the process, Peter Scott-Morgan became Peter 2.0, the first full cyborg. We spent time with Peter to see how his continuing evolution is shaping his day-to-day life. We also spoke with experts to see how technology is increasingly unlocking the hidden potential of the human body, and allowing people to perform functions previously thought impossible.Guests:Peter Scott-Morgan (Scientist/Author)Inami Masahiko (Professor, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo)

The humble egg, indispensable in the kitchen, is undergoing a major transformation. Global restaurant chains are shifting to cage-free eggs and the European Union has declared a ban on conventional battery cages for laying hens. The concept of animal welfare is to reduce pain and stress in animals through the creation of a better environment for livestock. It is also an important part of achieving the SDGs set out by the United Nations. Meeting animal welfare requirements, however, imposes additional costs and Japanese farmers are struggling to make it happen while investors put more emphasis on sustainability. We take a look at the frontline of the animal welfare movement in farming.Guests:Shimmura Tsuyoshi (Professor, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology)Kawaguchi Mariko (Specially Appointed Professor, Rikkyo University)
