Tokyo Starts Charm Offensive to Host the 2020 Olympic Games

Description:Tokyo unveiled its latest plans on Tuesday (January 8) to host the 2020 summer Olympics. The city's newly-elected mayor Naoki Inose said public opinion was optimistic after losing a bid to host the 2016 Games to Rio de Janerio. "The atmosphere now is totally different from four years ago," Inose said. "I won't let my guard down but I can feel that we will ace it if we really want to." Inose also touted the city as more modern and cutting edge than rivals, like Istanbul. (0:48)
