he said the new guidelines will allow more cooperation in areas such as outer space and cyberspace. >>> u.n. officials have issued a message to militants who are battling for control of a refugee camp in syria. security council members have demanded the warring sides allow people access to food, medicine and water. islamic state militants swept into the yarmouk camp near damascus earlier this month. they seized control of most of the area which has been home to palestinian refugees for more than 50 years. but palestinian insurgents are fighting back. and u.n. officials say the clashes are intensifying. syrian government forces have surrounded the camp which is just kilometers from the power base of president bashar al assad. they're conducting airstrikes against the militants. the u.n. officials say 18,000 refugees are trapped and unable to receive aid. the head of the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees pierre krahenbuhl, described the situation as desperate. >> all of this has been turned upside down by the escalation of conflict. currently it is simply too dangerous to access yarm

right now we are in a 9/11 -- pre-9/11 moment in cyberspace. in the same way legal barriers and turf wars kept us from connecting the dots before 9/11 the lack of cyberthreat information sharing makes us as vulnerable to an attack. companies are afraid to share because they do not feel they have the adequate legal protection to do so. h.r. 1731 removes those legal barriers and creates a safe harbor which will encourage companies to voluntarily exchange information about attacks against their networks. this will allow both the government and private sector to spot digital attacks earlier and keep malicious actors outside of our networks and away from information that americans expect to be defended. this bill also puts privacy and civil liberties first. it requires that personal information of our citizens be protected before it changes hands. whether it is provided to the government or exchanged between companies, so private citizens do not have their sensitive data exposed. significantly, both industry and privacy groups have announced their s

it is clear we have been losing ground against our adversaries in cyberspace. but better cyber threat information sharing will help us curb the tide and defend our networks against destructive intrusions. thank you very much for having me. i appreciate it. host: i will say a couple of years ago that chairman mccaul told me he was going to pass multiple bills. at the time this was the start and i thought, that would be a good trick. but he delivered. when he said we have a new bill, i would probably bet on this one. i do not bet the last time. with that, i have loads of questions. we will start with the audience. one in the back? >> good morning, i'm a retired navy captain. i'm glad to see you guys wearing green ties for st. patrick's day. my question is, how do we combat insider attacks, which seems to be one of the biggest problems we are facing? there are all these outside guys come up with air insiders and with the u.s. being a global company and business and so forth, there is a lot of openings for that kind of attack. chairman mccaul: it's very hard. we ar

we have seen iran for instance, be active in the cyberspace against different targets around the world. so we're constantly vigilant for potential cyber intrusions on any u.s.-based systems. >> was the recent order declaring cyber activities a greater national threat and new steps taken a direct result of this particular incident? >> no wolf. we've been increasingly focused and concerned about the cyber threat. frankly, that doesn't just include governments. there are private hackers individuals who may want to steal not just from the u.s. government but from u.s. businesses who could threaten u.s. critical infrastructure. that's why we put in place new measures to increase cyber security protections in the government, new ways through an executive order that the president signed for us to cooperate with the private sector to share information about cyber threats. but we're also working with congress now importantly to support legislation that could authorize and facilitate greater cooperation between the u.s. government and the private sector to defend against any cyber intrusions and

and finally some of my legislative goals this year to defend the american cyberspace against the district of attacks and costly intrusions. the cyber war has been waged against us and we are losing ground in the adversaries. they shifted quickly at the dawn of the digital age the nation saw endless opportunities to generate prosperity by expanding the networks and connecting it to the world. but today american prosperity depends on those networks as it does on expanding them. we cannot tolerate the cyber theft and warfare and we will put the nation's critical infrastructure *. when we compromise american innovation yet our cyber defenses have proven we in the face of enemies. as i speak the proprietary data is being stolen from american companies and the computers into the computers of private citizens are being compromised. and most of it is being done with impunity. the nationstates managed to exploit the networks. in the meantime the defenses have lagged behind. these intruders change the tactics by masking their identities and usually they are operating beyond the reach of the u.s. au

in these new guidelines we can work in domains like space and cyberspace and we can cooperate in new ways both regionally and globally. i look forward to working with mr. anakatani during mr. abe's visit to washington and in the coming months to implement the roles and missions detailed in these new guidelines. tomorrow we'll finalize plans for a space cooperation working group. i recently returned from my first visit as secretary of defense. as i said on that trip this region is so important to our future. i'm personally committed to working with secretary kerry and others in the administration on the next phase of the rebalance as we work to deepen and diverse diversify our diplomatic, economic and military engagement in the region. the approval of the new defense guidelines marks an important step in the rebalances next phase. there will be many more. i turn it over now to the foreign minister. please. >> i'm glad to report that we have made great achievements at the meeting. i would like to give my gratitude to those who realized efforts to such a successful meeting secretary ker
