Commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the first atomic bombing have been drastically scaled back due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Survivors and dignitaries are attending a service in the Japanese city of Hiroshima which tens of thousands usually visit on the anniversary.
The city’s mayor is expected to warn the world against the rise of self-centred nationalism and appeal for international cooperation to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
