Donald Trump 'menstruation' attack?

Has Donald Trump finally gone too far with 'menstruation' attack?

music

The best way to handle someone like Donald Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself - as we saw on Thursday night, writes Matt K Lewis

It didn't hurt him when he said Mexico was sending America their "rapists", or when he disparaged the heroic military service of Sen. John McCain ("I like people who weren't captured," he harrumphed).

But Donald Trump might have finally jumped the shark with his recent comments about Fox News's Megyn Kelly.

During Thursday night's Republican primary debate, Ms Kelly, one of the debate moderators, pressed Mr Trump over his past comments about women. "You've called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting animals," Ms Kelly averred.

Mr Trump didn't take kindly to being challenged at the time, and after the debate, he continued to protest his treatment on Twitter, where he even retweeted a comment calling Ms Kelly a "bimbo."

But it was Mr Trump's comments to CNN on Friday night that might have finally gone too far.

"You could see there was blood coming out of [Kelly's] eyes," he told CNN's Don Lemon. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

Most people interpreted this as a misogynistic comment about menstruation.

The truth is that it was Mr Trump who came out bleeding after that debate on Thursday night. And not just at the hands of Ms Kelly. Fox News's other moderators pressed him on a spate of issues, exposing to a huge viewing audience (24 million viewers) that the billionaire mogul is, in fact, not a conservative Republican.

Nagasaki bombing anniversary: Japan and the world remember the last use of nuclear weapons in war 70 years on

Japan on Sunday marked the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki that claimed tens of thousands of lives in one of the final chapters of World War II.

Timeline of Atomic Bombings

• September 1, 1939: World War II begins
• December 7, 1941: Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, US enters WWII
• August 13, 1942: The Manhattan Project officially starts
• July 16, 1945: The Trinity Test (first nuclear bomb test) is done
• August 6, 1945: Bombing of Hiroshima
• August 9, 1945: Bombing of Nagasaki
• August 12, 1945: United States contacts Japan to accept surrender
• August 15, 1945: Japan announces surrender on radio
• September 2, 1945: World War II officially ends

Bells tolled as ageing survivors, the relatives of victims and others remembered the devastating blast at 11:02am local time (12:02pm AEST) on August 9, 1945.

About 74,000 people died in the initial blast from a plutonium bomb dubbed "Fat Man", or from after-effects in the months and years following the bombing.

The attack on Nagasaki came three days after American B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped a bomb dubbed "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, the first atomic bombing in history.

Nearly everything around it was incinerated by a wall of heat up to 4,000 degrees Celsius, hot enough to melt steel.

Bombing did not lead to Japanese surrender, historians argue

The US says it took the drastic step of dropping atomic bombs on Japan to put an early end to World War II, but this official narrative is now being challenged.

The twin bombings dealt the final blows to imperial Japan, which surrendered on August 15, 1945, bringing an end to World War II.

At memorial ceremonies in Hiroshima on Thursday, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe said Japan would submit a fresh resolution to abolish nuclear weapons at the UN general assembly later this year.

"As the only country ever attacked by an atomic bomb ... we have a mission to create a world without nuclear arms
