>> that's always a risk and certainly we have seen elements from darfur make their way into the arease, a is arisk and in sudan, the connections between the government there and terrorist actors i think are well known. but we also want to focus on the welfare of the population in south sudan, as we've discussed, but also in darfur and sudan where the killing and air strikes and the use of food as a weapon of war also continues. the irony is, the situation is south sudan has gotten so bad that it's diverted from the pre-existing situation in sudan and not enough focus, i think, is being put on the government and its misdeeds there in terms of not allowing food to the people who need it. >> samantha, i'm glad you mentioned that. there are ongoing atrocities there. you've written and spoken a lot in the past about the responsibility to protect and you've charged his regime with ethnic cleansing. is there responsibility for the u.s. to intervene? >> we look at all of the tools in the toolbox when mass atrocities are occurring and when it comes to sudan, what we have sought to do is get a

in darfur to euros. have been reports surrounding his health and speculation about what the press conference will be about. continue to be listening in. byhas been investigated authorities since the wikileaks website published diplomatic documents in 2010. if he does not come out of the embassy, he could be arrested. arrest warrants in sweden surrounding allegations of sexual assault which he denies. we will be back in two minutes. >> welcome back to the pulse. we're bringing you live pictures this area. wikileaksr of the website is making a statement this morning. it remains unclear but he is going to ultimately be announcing here. there have been reports about his health resentment. questions being asked about his health at the moment. byhas faced an investigation u.s. authorities ever wikileaks publishing military documents in 2010. he is mindful that he would probably be arrested should he leave the episode where he has sought refuge of a depressed two years, not because of diplomatic faces but becau

that i took -- a couple of years ago, i made a trip to the chad refugee camp from the women from darfurd we met 23 women. and one after the other, the horror stories that had been through to end up in that camp was just appalling. i mean, when i wanted to just disappear, vanish sbchlt that experience has impact my sleep till today. but one thing that i see before i left, they say to us, we're already a victim of the situation that we doentd choose. whatever you come out of here to do for us, don't victimize us twice. all we're asking from you is to do everything in your capacity for the peace to be reinstated in our country, for safety and security to exist for us to be able to raise the children that we have to get a life. and that is something that every day i'm in a difficult situation, i want to linger on. i just think of those women. they have lost everything. they're being raped constant by people. their little boy beheaded on the breast of the mother. i mean, the horror story goes on and on. and yet here they are within the tears of their eyes looking at you in your eyes and tell

fox you know with stem cell research george clooney with the situation in darfur in sudan. you can raise awareness but i think if unless you are willing to really steep yourself in the issue to the point where you not only can raise awareness but you can move the ball forward and understand the three dimensional chess game that you need to play with politics policy and p.r. and all of that then i think you can only raise awareness and you can get also get hit and. down by being you know i'm a hollywood militant or whatever that thing is so what i've tried to do in the issues that i've got involved it is really steep myself in it so i'm not just some figurehead that's out there but on early childhood you know i went and passed a bacco initiative to fund early childhood in california and then i i was the chairman of a state commission for seven years to implement it and you know the same with marriage equality same thing so you know you have to see it through i mean it's not just enough to you know say hey i'm for the environment and then not do anything you know what do you

we had a problem in darfur. the situation is much more under control now than it was. we had a problem -- the situation is much better now than what it was in the past. >> we still have huge problems in parts of africa, in sudan, where people are starving. there is a terrible situation in sudan, and a terrible situation in the northern part of mali. africa is of course much more secure than before, but we still are facing challenges, important challenges of security, and we have to work together as africa. this is what we are trying to do about libya, the countries around libya, to secure this country together. we have to face the problems, and we have to work together. we are able to control it and we will control it to give the business community more security and stability. we reached a stage in africa where almost you can count a few problematic areas. in northern africa, things have affected the arab countries in the north. but we -- you have countries that have volunteered. which we are working on in two months' time, we will have taken the principle of african p

george clooney who i tip my hat to him when he he goes after the what's going on in the sudan and darfur. they have done a lot of good. they speak out. a lot of celebrities. this one, there hasn't been with the exception of this is the first i have heard of joan rivers was very outspoken. you don't hear much from hollywood on this so far. >> i imagine part of that is you have two do i met diametrically opposed international audience for movies and whatnot as well. such diametrically opposed views of that conflict there in some cases this is money to them. you know, if you are annoying your fans in one place or another, you have got to worry about that. >> i think they would be smarter to stay quiet. i think penelope cruise and her husband have learned that you have people like joan rivers very strong supporters of israel and hollywood. at the same time this couple is european. >> is that the european defense? >> well,. >> the most criticism of israel right now is coming from europe. >> and you think that's why they did this? >> i don't -- they are friends and family and, you know, everyo

. >> and dar fewer as well -- and darfur as well. >> and in darfur.the united nations summit effective live ratifies this notion. there are 170 signatories to it that there is a responsibility to protect the snalm community as a response to protect people and we are not just simply going to give blanket protection to he old traditional idea of sovereignty. this is invoked again in the ase of lib -- libya. the emphasis is looking more toward, looking more toward predictors. mange, we can identify circumstances on the ground that are ripe for genocide. therefore what you need to do is be able to see those coming, and then intervene in ways perhaps not necessarily in the form of a litary force, but maybe just then greater sensitivity to responding on the ground. for very real political reasons that preventive action has to be the place where the emphasis goes. because once all hell breaks loose, i think there is a view that most democracies right now, their attitude is going to be, "we're going to not get involved, unless there is some clear identifyable

in south africa, under apartheid, indoor for -- in darfur, in the great lakes region, in all of these places, the congo has always been present and made its presence help in a construction -- in a constructive manner in the promotion of peace, security and national reconciliation. in the case of south africa under apartheid, i am very pleased indeed to see here cohen.ador we worked quite closely and agreed him and i am pleased to see him here. also, undersecretary hooker. toether, we worked very hard bring south africa, angola and cuba together. we worked for the retreat of cuban troops in angola and namibia. but a few of the areas in which we elaborated. to illustrate, i will speak briefly about specific action my country has undertaken in the drc and in the central african republic. in the democratic republic of congo, my country plays the role of facilitator in the national dialogue, ringing the main political factions together. in the central african republic, the congo is contributing in various forms toward a search for solutions for conflict. amongst others, we sent a thousand

shivery microchip is often the tailpipe of that airplane the first night in darfur and because i haven't eaten all day and i don't know where i am. my dad liked to me. there's no golf course here. >> to that answer your question kind of? sort of? what else? >> a lot of antique airplanes and stuff like that, did you do that domestically? with >> yet, with all domestic. the 109 thing i had to compile research and there were a couple of really good works written about on somerset. i have flown a 21, so that was hard. if you 202-737-0001 russian built piece of junk, you fund them all. but that was the experience. soviet note, that the engine markings were in chinese and everything else was in error. i spoke arabic, but not chinese. they are not like our airplanes that are arranged somewhat logically. you know, not to matter over here, oil gauge down here. doesn't make any sense. there's an excellent museum. anyhow. he was a great help. i mean, that place i expected some hole in the wall garage in the middle of nowhere and he's got for world war i airplanes and a magnificent collection of art

we heard never again in kosovo, rwanda and czar darfur. what kind of inact hold those meaningless? >> we hold others to account and when individuals like rios mont in gaw gawt guatemala, 24 years after his crimes, there comes a day of reckoning. it's not easy. it's not easy when you're talking about sovereign states with powerful allies. but the world has changed in the last 20 years. and we're working to identify these individuals that have been tortured and killed and if they're dual nationals, our country or other countries, there can be third country prosecutions of those responsible, those who gave the orders for the torture, those who are commanders of these particular camps or prisons or detention facilities. national prosecutions can't reach the chief of state of a foreign country but they can reach a lot of powerful people. >> ambassador stephen rapp we efforts. thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you tony. >> time to see what's trending on the webb, hermella. >> bully shaming, a mother of five's message to beach goers. whether suntanning at the beach, two guys

in south africa under apartheid, in darfur, in the sahel, in the great lakes region, in all of these places the congo has always been present and made its presence felt in a constructive manner. in the promotion of peace and security, national reconciliation. in the case of south africa under apartheid, i am very pleased, indeed, to see here ambassador cohen. we worked quite actively and quite closely with ambassador cohen, and i greet him and am pleased to see him here. and also undersecretary kocher. together we worked very hard to bring south africa, angola and cuba together, worked for the retreat of cuban troops in angola and the independence of namibia. but a few of the areas in which we collaborated. to illustrate, i will speak briefly about specific action my country has undertaken in the drc and in the central african republic. in the democratic republic of congo, my country plays the role of facilitator in the national dialogue, bringing the main political factions together in the central african republic the congo is contributing in various forms and fashions toward a sear

. >> one time i was in darfur in a village that was about to be massacred. trying desperately to interview every last person i could before the war lords showed up. and my interpreter finally said look, we've got to get out of here because if they catch us, you know, they can ransom you. you're worth it to them. they're just going to kill me. and he was absolutely right. and i left immediately. >> they will kill journalist news instead of -- >> yeah, but usually they will try to ransom us. we have a financial value to them. >> but before people didn't go after journalists, right? it was sort of a hands off? >> exactly. journalists were respected. humanitarians were respected. >> we're seeing a string of freelance journalists being captured. we have peter theo curtis, james foley and john sotloff. his mother appealed to the isis militants today. here she circumstances since steven's capture, i've learned a lot about islam. i've learned that islam teaches that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. steven has no control over the actio

government's response to the indonesian tsunami, the pakistani earthquake, relief to darfur and southern sudan, as well as niger and easy open ethiopian emergency responses. he has more than 27 years experience working in the disaster relief field. he is currently leading the samaritans purse organizational efforts in liberia in response to the ebola epidemic. we will then hear from dr. frank glover, the director of the urology institute. his discovery of the world's highest rate of prostate cancer in jamaica has been internationally recognized and published in numerous turtles and textbooks. he and his wife founded shield, which is dedicated to building a medical school in liberia, training doctors in various surgical specialties, and providing loan forgiveness for liberian doctors who have trained in the united states and would like to go back and treat patients in liberia. he has been involved in treating ebola in africa since the early 1990's. mr. isaacs, please proceed. >> thank you. chairman smith, esteemed members of the council, fellow guests of this committee. i am privileged to

it's what happened in darfur. it's what happened in auschwitz in may 1944.s murdered every day. to call what israel is doing in gaza defending itself when thousands of rockets are coming into the country and you're trying to actually do these strikes to keep their civilians, everything that israel does, the phone calls, the text messages, you name it that we are trying to do that other countries would never do if their homeland was under attack, to accuse israel is genocide. it's wild. it's a libel. and that's why i think people are so upset with the media coverage that you have. >> okay. so continuing on what you were saying. listen, basically, rula, he feels strongly that says at a disadvantage in the media certainly international media. >> i don't know what television he watch. i think i saw prime minister bibi netanyahu this sunday on four networks. what more than this they want? the fact that a native israeli like myself or any others cannot even dream to become ambassador of israel in the united states. and ron can be ambassador while he was born here,

interesting twist in this story is then-secretary of state colin powell calling what was happening in darfurhink in the kind of mid 00s, he actually called it a genocide in congressional testimony and i think was trying to spur more american action in response. you know, so in this case, i think that in iraq, when you're looking at the yezidi and the effort to basically massacre them, it does meet the definition of genocide pretty clearly. the genocide convention of 1948 has four criteria, and i believe it's race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. and in this case, you have a religious group that is essentially being slowly starved and killed. it's possible when john kerry avoids using the word as it applies to syria, "a", it's administration policy not to get too deeply involved in the syrian civil war which i think they think is just not a place where we can have a practical useful effect. and "b," it's not really a case there where you have one of those four groups that's being sort of systemically wiped out by another one. you kind of have everyone killing everyone in this horrendous

the u.s., like most nations, has declined to intervene in massive humanitarian crises, from darfur, toat civil war next to iraq still raging today actually claimed 170,000 lives already over 3 years. that is a much bigger scale than even what we're considering doing right now in iraq. and the president has repeatedly said long before his announcement this week that just because we can't act everywhere does not mean we shouldn't act anywhere. and as a matter of pure foreign policy doctrine, inconsistency isn't necessarily a vice. but look, as the world learns more about the plight of religious minorities in iraq, and watches president obama wade a little bit back into iraq, it is worth asking, what is so different about iraq? why do humanitarian appeals seem to win there when they are ignored in so many other places? we have some experts who are going to help explore those important questions. please stay with us. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at n

and for the u n security council to look into the situation as it did, for example, in darfur, sudan. that is probably going to be my last topic to discuss in this presentation. request of thet president of palestine, mahmoud abbas, to seek u.n. protection from israeli aggression, continued occupation, and violation of international law itsn particular bombardments of the civilian population in gaza. this is in effect going back to system. trusteeship watch was to -- which was to -- [indiscernible] after world war ii. that was the main purpose of the council. the trusteeship was also created by the secretary-general and carrying out its functions according to the charter. also important -- this is the receive -- to to achieve full independence in 1994. without members and we're the only ones here. what is the object under the charter? further international peace and security and promote advancement of its inhabitants. it is to protect human rights. i am not going to go through them. it is very clear in the charter. one other point briefly about going back to the trusteeship totem, or

i have a question regarding foreign policy and areas such as darfur and south sudan.ould it be an appropriate approach there diplomatically or other means to help people who are undergoing such horrible atrocity? >> host: what do you think would be an appropriate approach, kate? >> caller: well, i'm really confused about it because -- [inaudible] for the people to take on themselves and i do feel that paid assistance pretty much emergency assistance -- [inaudible] by the type of violence that goes on there. but really for me, especially just going on for so long, and so many people have been particularly affected. >> host: thank you, man sunny wasn't able to follow that. >> host: she asked about what do you think the approach the u.s. approach should be for humanitarian assistance when it comes to -- fur or sudan. >> guest: -- to darfur or sudan. >> guest: that's a reasonable question mitchell answer is the same. i if you have money and want to help send them money but it's not proper to do this, to take money from people in this country because you think you're going

north-south things, did it in terms of religion can and they moved lock stock and barrel to door for -- to darfur. i know how instrumental you have been in that and how influential you still are. and i would love to hear how we could help what is going on in sudan now and maybe have somebody like jerry's croup go in, because i do not think, unless the presidential envoy agrees to meet with the present, that anything will happen. >> let's take another. >> fulbright scholar. i had two questions. the first one was also for jerry, because you described this fusion that happened in the state department in the practice of u.s. diplomacy. you see the same thing is happening on the other side of the landing best of the atlantic, like europe, or some countries [indiscernible] i was wondering if you had any transatlantic commonality on that, especially also with the european elections, that if you had any contact? this leads me to my second question, again, drawing from european philosophy to engage with islamists come especially political parties, is that evident? it was denounced that western powers are

senate, we work hand-in-hand on darfur were, far, and as the vice president said, he has traveled farnd wide, but especially as vice president, to south africa, kenya, ghana to help build transparent and accountable institutions and to help lift millions of people out of poverty. i want to especially thank michael bloomberg. philanthropy sponsoring this event. michael's contribution to africa comes not just in the form of this summit, but through his latest commitment of $10 million that he made just this february 2 african countries to build media capacity with a business focus and to promote reliability and reporting, educational opportunities, and the transparency that the vice president just talked about that markets need in order to give capital confidence and in order to grow. finally, i want to thank penny pritzker, my partner, a fellow member of the president's cabinet. she has been a terrific partner in our endeavors to make certain that people understand that in this globalized world, in the transformative societies we are , that economics is not divorced from foreign policy

and also for the united nations security council to refer the situation as it did, for example, in darfur, i sudan. now, there was, and that's probably going to be my last topic to discuss in this presentation. it's really about the recent request by the president of palestine, president abbas, to seek u.n. protection from israeli aggression, continued occupation and violation of international law, in particular its escalation and its bombardments against the civilian population in gaza. now, this is, in effect, going back to the u.n. trusteeship system which was created to replace the legal definitions mandates system in order to administer the colonies of the defeated states after world war ii. that was the main purpose of the trusteeship council. new areas can be placed voluntarily by states responsible for the administration under the charter, and the trusteeship was also created to assist the general assembly in carrying out its functions according to the charter. also important to know that palau, for example, was the last territory of the original 11 to achieve full be independence

approach should be for humanitarian assistance in darfur or south sudan something like that. >> guest: that's a reasonable question. and of course my answer is the same. if you have money and you'll want to send money but it's not proper to take money from people in this country because you would think you will help somebody over there but the problem is so often when we do that we send money it ends up in warring factions and it doesn't end up helping the poor people. a lot of times people will vote for gifts where they wouldn't vote for any militarism and i can understand that. i certainly would have more sympathy helping people like that but they will do that but first taking the money is wrong and second it doesn't end up doing a very good job. so i don't think that we should do that. the only thing that i have an in between process would be let's say there is some of this problem in a country in africa and they really need help and we think we can help. if we could cut $10 billion out of some nonsense in building an embassy someplace in iraq and send part of that to feeding peopl
