in 2004 secretary of state colin powell used that term to apply to atrocities in the darfur region of sudan. this is the second time. it comes after considerable congressional pressure. kerry in making the statement today met a march 17th deadline actually included in a congressional funding bill and two days after the congress passed a nonbinding resolution in the house unanimously, 283-0, declares that isil's actions in iraq and syria and libya amounted to genocide. so it's significant from that standpoint, but it's notable that while the united states has condemned isil's brutal tactics and executions in the region over there for quite some time, it took an act of congress to push the administration to label this genocide a crime against humanity. >> yjamie, calling genocide yen side does that have any u.s.-led coalition fight against isil? >> in theory it creates a moral imperative to do so something. back in 2004 when secretary powell issued that declaration, he did so after state department lawyers assured it would not require the united states to intervene into the conflict in

something as complex as the holocaust and other similar topics whether you talk about what occurred in darfur or wherever is to overwhelm with the magnitude of it. i think we look at a screen and we see the bodies as the footage that came out of from bougainville men and other camps and often our first response is to say, that is horrible and there's nothing i can do about it. i think what we really want to do is teach in a way that connects into the jewel and experience that makes you feel that by being a dedicated, involved citizen of the world you can make a difference. i see my role as an educator, it is to try to mentor students so when possible they can connect with silver -- survivors. they not only learn all the norms of different stories that make up the hc

c\olin powell did when he sent troops to darfur.he knights of columbus went to the region to gather facts and they used the same questionnaire that the powell teams used. about 30 experts and christian leaders, from cardinals to an expert for american progress on the left -- a whole array of christian leaders -- signed a letter asking secretary kerry for a meeting so that they could come in and brief him about the situation on december 4. we never got an answer. one month before the deadline for genocide designation, the state department went to the knights of columbus, because they had been running television ads, and asked them to collect facts and present it to them in a report. which is what the report did. without waiting for the findings to come back to them, they visited, state department officials, went visiting state officials from iraq and told them genocide was out of the question. the state department did not have any interviews of christian leaders directly dealing with isis over the islamic tax issue. this is the pivot

how would you view darfur, what happened there given that you mention crisis, or the civil strife in south sudan which has been pretty much ended i guess? >> i think it's a really good question. he was as you say extremely suspect of these interventions in ongoing civil wars with parties on each side, each of whom are claiming legitimacy. he thinks they were likely to get into more harm than good. but he said there are some circumstances when the civil war just grinds on and on, and neither side is likely to win. and instead all that you are seeing is ongoing massacres of ordinary farmers, talisman, men, women and children. under the circumstances the presupposition against intervention has to be overwritten. he talks about a little obscure case that took place in portugal of all places in 1846. but, frankly, it was a very easy case for him because the mediation was relatively successfully done. they pressured the sides to negotiate. he had not fully come in my view, absorbed the capacities for massacre that modern technology and organization and communications even if it's only radi

in 2004, secretary of state said atrocities in sudan's darfur region constituted genocide. but only after lawyers did not intervene in sudan. meanwhile on capitol hill. defense secretary ash carter and the top military advisor said the effort to deal a lasting defeat ratcheted up pressure on the group. neither could say if the strongholds in iran or syria would be retaken. >> did you see raqqa fulling this year, taken away from isil. >> limiting the freedom of movement. i can't put a time line on it. i can say we were working closely with indigenous forces. >> the likelihood of raqqa falling between now and the election is remote. >> again, i haven't put a time line on it. the state department says the declaration would have little practical effect. the u.s. treating isil even without the formal designation. it's a specific meaning. it's not just killing people, but doing it with a religious group in whole or in part. secretary of state john kerry called for an independent investigation to document the atrocities so all is accountable in the future. >> jamie mcintyre at the

it's a big deal because the agency hasn't used the term officially since the 2004 genocide in darfur. bazi kanani explains what this means for the war on isis. >> reporter: the u.s. makes a new declaration against the islamic state. >> in my judgment, they're against groups in areas under its control. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry announced the results of his review of the atrocious actions against minority groups and the territory it controls. they've been accused of the kidnapping, rape, slavery, and muslims. secretary kerri says the extent of the crimes meet the definition of genocide. >> its entire world view is based on eliminating those who do not subscribe to its perverse ideology. agree. >> we need to go on record and declare the belief of congress that isis has without a doubt committed genocide. unanimously passing a resolution condemning the islamic states horrific acts. experts say in this case, the declaration of genocide carries no legal weight. countries are not required to act on genocide outside of the u.s. is all ready leading the fight to rid the world

time that secretary powell made that decision to call darfur genocide.orrect to do that and i think the legal interpretation that he followed at that time was also correct that it's really under american statutes which implement the genocide convention for our purposes there was no legal obligation act. my recollection is what secretary powell did was ask for the u.n. supreme court council to do something about darfur which they promptly did not. i suspect if we went to the supreme court council here, where actions go to die we would get a resolution condemning the atrocities. this isn't a legal issue. this is question what the united states and uniquely the united states can and should do to deal with isis generally. >> what would the declaration of genocide do for those christians, yazidis and kurds under persecution which is unspeakful. >> some reason to believe that the united states make day more vigorous action. having watch the administration's performance since the beginning of the arab spring in syria, i really doubt with this point, with less t

it is the first time the united states is declaring a genocide since darfur in 2004. >> primary wins comics taking their pot shots. here is our look at the late night laughs. >> donald trump won every priepry last night except for ohio. and donald trump didn't seem to mind. the word ohio is filled with zeros. and looks like he hit a really significant number. take a look at the number. yeah. when trump said he wassed good at making deals. i didn't know he was that good. >> donald trump won yesterday's republican primaries in florida, illinois and north carolina. trump did especially well with white males, caucasian men, and non women of no color. >> that's a specific group. [ laughter ] >> i like the reference made there with the 666. >> they're having fun with it. and there's much time to go. >> all right. hillary clinton and donald trump don't agree on much but they are both getting knocked around on one mutual weak spot. likability. which candidate is more likely to overcome that problem? when heartburn hits fight back fast tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches y

ashley: first time that the united states has actually declared a genocide, by the way, since darfur004. it's been 12 years. there's been increasing calls for this. certainly, you remember after the mass slaughter, the yeah yazidis trapped on the mountain and the women-- this is a major step. stuart: why did they have to include shiite muslims, genocide, surely. this is pure politics. president obama refuses to inject religion into this, and can't say that christians are being slaughtered. >> isis is slaughtering people of all favorites, many favorites. what this triggers is international criminal actions, be arrested and put before court trials, it's an international crime now. stuart: i wonder why they have to bring in shiite muslims to balance out the yazidis and the christians? >> it's a good question. stuart: steer clear of that one. we're up 25 points thus far. see on the bottom of your screen, senator reid has begun to speak and he's going to come out and blast donald trump. we're listening carefully to what he said. we'll drop into it when he says something really dramatic. y

a notable exception was darfur where colin powell sent people to the area and declared it a genocide. but by and large, the united states has had a very strong reticence to using the term. it's a terrible term but the only term that applies here. i would point out that in this case, we have had the lawyers look at it. they're having the lawyers look at it. our lawyers wrote a legal brief and said, look, there's a low bar for this. it's probable cause. as one of the attorneys put it to me there's enough evidence on social media for a prosecutor to move forward on a probable cause standard. this is not complicated. >> yeah, i mean, even hillary clinton called it genocide after you and the knights of columbus released that 278-page report on thursday. andrew, thank you so much for your time today. we hope that we get some action as a result. >> thank you. so do we. >>> all right. coming up, a fiery riot breaks out inside a prison and it's caught on camera by the inmates. the incredible details just ahead. >>> turning junk into something brand-new for your home. >> that's it. back to you.
