A decades-old Japanese anti-nuclear activist group, Nihon Hidonkyo, has won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The announcement was made in Oslo and was praised in Japan. Nihon Hidonkyo was established in 1956 by survivors of the nuclear attacks on Japan during World War II. They advocate for greater support of victims as well as for stopping nuclear proliferation across the globe. Host Carol Hill speaks with journalist Patrick Cox, who has interviewed many survivors, about the significance of this win and what it means to the survivors.
