sudan. instead, we have leaders who have decided to go outside of the peaceful rules of the game and to pursue their political objectives through violence. that is destroying their country. so this is a humanitarian crisis of massive proportions, but it is rooted in this political crisis. so just to frame the humanitarian piece of this, we're talking about two million people who have fled the country around the neighboring regions. we have two more million people displaced inside of south sudan and 2800 people are continuing the flee the country every day. so that's about one in three people who are displaced from their homes right now. by july, and that's really just around the corner, we estimate about six million people are going to be in need of life-saving or will face life-threatening hunger. and about 7.5 million people are going to need humanitarian assistance writ large. just to put this in context, that's about 60% of south sudan's pre-conflict population. so this is a massive impa

. >> next a discussion on south sudan. and marco rubio on ways to combat transnational crime in the us. after that the senate intelligence committee hearing on motion interference and democratic elections. now, a discussion on the famine crisis in south sudan and violence against humanitarian aid workers in the region and the need for more international support in helping to find a political solution.this is just over an hour. >> as we watch the last of the few the brave come in, i see lots of familiar faces in the audience. come on in. do not be shy there are seats up here. i was fine i had to convince my colleagues to sit in the front seat. you can sit there. all right. so we are going to get started here today. first of all i want to note a couple of things. this event and teacher ones that we will be doing are under a new initiative here at csis on bringing different perspective, new voices and representation that reflects all of the united states in discussions in foreign affairs. today we have with us, for fellows. t

i will share my thoughts on my experiences in sudan and the 2010 negative election. during part of this period to focus on that referendum i think it is important to lookit this period and hopefully this will contribute to the understanding to the steps that will be taken during a civil war so i think of what has already been discussed on the panel and from becoming too south sudan during that time there was a lot there so it challenges that situation on the ground . so looking at the sudanese national election so that was the leadership of south sudan to use violence even while participating in the democratic process it was immediately clear there was the deep division that predated that period that contributed to the violence. during the elections they made sure their preferred candidates won many candidates were detained or beaten as the soldiers routed to the polling stations even soldiers with the gubernatorial race after it was clear the candidate was backed by the of leadership and lost. so the military was moving soldiers from one region to another so of to b

enter northern sudan and people from northern sudan would not be allowed to enter southern sudan. no exchange in business, no exchange culture early. no exchange at all. and then they decided that the north was more advanced, more prepared to be integrated into the modern world. they continue to flourish there. they allowed the arabic language to be the predominant language in terms of education and commerce. and in the south, they decided that they would bring in missionaries from the u.k., educate them primarily in english and then their plan all along was to integrate the south into what they call british east africa, which would've essentially been a combining of that territory with kenya and uganda. so they never intended for the nation actually to be unified. in addition to that, they made a decision that the south was backward and it wasn't ready to join the modern world, which as i stated earlier was essentially the same position to every entity that it governed south sudan had and then you follow that january 1st, 1956, independence comes in the british just disappear, es

lobbying firm squire patton boggs for representing sudan. in a time magazine op-ed, he said the firm will be paid $40,000 per month by a government that the u.s. state says sponsors terrorists. she works for a local nonprofit focused on the crisis in sudan. >> we want stronger sanctions and support the people who really want freedom and democracy in sudan. tim: the op-ed points out that did genocide. the obama administration lifted reviewing that decision and is expected to make an announcement on july 12. the firm gave abc 7 a statement saying, many believe that engagements with sudan produces meaningful gains in humanitarian assistance and working with rather than against sudan is a more constructive strategy. the firm had a lot more to say about this. we have the full statement on wjla.com. tim barber, abc 7 news. alison: tim, thank you. still ahead, preparing for real-life star wars by sending u.s. troops into space? nancy: a proposal on the table in the house right now. and male costars taking payments from >emma stone? >> it is a weigh

i mean, you've got countries where they are not members, like the sudan and the president of sudan, omarause people are saying that there is selective justice. in 2014, 65 nations called for the syrian conflict to be referred to the court, and it was vetoed. let me just come back to the fact that the un security council referred the sudan case to the icc. 0k, can you deal with first of all why we don't have bashar al—assad, for example, indicted? i just want to clarify the fact, indeed, sudan is not a state party to the rome statute, and ordinarily, we don't have territorial jurisdiction, but sudan was referred to the icc in one of the ways that can be done — through the security council. but why wasn't bashar al—assad, when 65 nations called for the syrian conflict to be referred to the court, it was vetoed, wasn't it, by china and russia? indeed. this is a question that i think would ideally be asked of the un security council. but itjust shows you that there is selective justice, and you are part of that framework. i mean, so, were you upset that syria wasn't referred ? no, i beg to d

the thousand dollars in sudan not moving the needle. -- the $8,000 in sudan is not moving the needle. think it's kind of important because what it tells us is not every place is going to run netflix like they do here in san francisco or london. different parts of the world are different. it's not just about the way the internet exists in different countries. people will not be able to stream as much in certain places, they are not going to want to stream the netflix content as much. it is still a hit-driven business. they've done a good job with some good shows whether it is "luke cage" and "house of cards." they have done alright with some of these things, but a lot of this stuff is missed the boat -- has missed the boat. that is hard to do when you are dealing with so many different cultures. caroline: there was an amazing array of content. "orange is the new black," if you dig into the letter you are getting from the ceo to investors, it seems he is trying to deflect competition. he said there is room for everyone. they make the internet tv market expand. they say hbo has exclusive

yes, we will continue to work on south sudan. i'll be visiting there in the fall to deal with it head on. israel, i will continue to call them out every time that happens. i hear you on the state department and what you told secretary tillerson. we have worked really hard too -- really hard to fill the roles on u.s.-u.n. and are almost there. in terms of the peacekeeping budget -- rep. sherman: peacekeeping and -- ambassador haley: peacekeeping and -- rep. sherman: my question was we have our general u.n. dues, the line item for that and the president's proposed budget cut 27%, peace keeping 37%. ambassador haley: right. rep. sherman: does that diminish your ability to do your job or does it make your job easier? ambassador haley: no, i am -- so my job has worked well because i've used that as leverage. with every single renewal, what we did was we looked at the political solution. we looked, is it working, is it actually helping the people on the ground? what they have done in the past is challenged areas, they would just send m

we have a big case against sudan. it's very public. this is not secret or confidential. i think the lessons that we learn from the libya experience might help us there, maybe. we have other things we work on. but this is not a cookie-cutter kind of practice, and you have to be creative and you have to be determined, and do have to -- like my law firm -- you have to be patient. of these things take many, many years, sometimes with great investment that we never get back, and sometimes with clients who give up and think they are never going to get anything -- i should tell you the funds we mentioned that the department of justice, you know -- some of our clients were injured in embassy bombings 30-plus years ago. some of their parents or children were killed 30-plus years ago. and we just got them checks. it's very gratifying to be able to do that, even after all that time. it is hope, but it takes a lot of work and a little bit of luck. , thank you very much. this is fascinating. you will be outside signing books? mr. newberger: if anybody wants one. looks are outside. --

famine in south sudan has been created by conflict. famine was declared formally in two count yoifs unity state. hundreds of thousands would be in jeopardy of die from famine. it's come about because of the conflict between the president and his former chief of staff or his former vice president. we need to have the engagement to save lives. i thank the support of this amendment. likewise the north korea icbm, as i was in europe during the fourth of july, my amendment in particular supports upholding the goal os of this e1963 treaty banning nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere and outer space, under water, addresses the fact that our nation should take the next step in preparing for nuclear north cree and -- north korea and establishes that the states may be far greater. we have all been discussing the question of north korea and icbm's. we have to be studious in assessing it. let me also say, however, that i am disappointed that the amendment dealing with the aumf on north korea did not get in. i do believe it is an important issue

they got queried the fcc about doing business with sudan, a country u.s.nies are banned from doing business with. they pointed out their revenues are de minimus in sudan, as low as $8,000 for the 15 months that preceded their letter to the fcc. so the $8,000 not moving the needle, but i do think it is kind of important. it tells us not every place is going to run netflix like they do in san francisco or in london. in fact, the different parts of the world are different. it is not just about the way the internet exists in different countries. people are just not going to be able to stream as much in certain places. they will not want to stream the netflix content as much. it is still a hit driven business. they have done a good job with shows, whetherd house of cards or luke cage they . have done alright with some of these things. a lot of stuff has missed the boat. that is tough to deal with, dealing with so many different geographies and cultures. caroline: that is what helped the second quarter, an amazing array of content. it was really interesting if y

they have one million refugees from south sudan. the average income is $952 per year.ganda is saying we will take them and look after them until they can go home. there is an important lesson there. wilfred: in terms of something i've seen you talk about recently, the level of the issue you feel is underestimated because the length of displacement people experience has risen sharply. david: that's a good point. the average refugees out of their own country now for 10 years. suddenly issues of employment , and education become absolutely central. the humanitarian sector does not invest in education. less than 2% of the global humanitarian budget goes to education. you have millions of kids displaced from their homes by conflict, become refugees, and they are not able to get education. one of the things we argue for is we need more aid but we also need a better aid system. i think it is important to say those together. wilfred: david, president macron has said he intends to keep an open dialogue with president putin and has had meetings already. do you see the tone impro

we had 750,000 visitors from literally every state in all but four countries of the world -- south sudan, north korea. there is a global interest in this kind of thing, although our data is only focused in on the united states. offthe interest has dropped from our initial launch. we get about 4000 visitors a day. some of that has to do with us needing to make the website easier, more navigable, more relevant. some of it probably has to do with marketing. it is kind of crazy to me that you market a public service, but we will do some marketing, search optimization. that is a problem with government websites in general. they are hard to find even if they are in good shape when you get there. the other problem is to suss o ut and understand what citizens want in terms of the facts. harris andll with asked a bunch of questions about what citizens are interested in. they preferens said facts to anecdotes. and yet a lot of what we read in the paper is anecdote. i think anecdotes are great way to get color and texture, but need to be anchored in real numbers. i am not an a typical citizen. thre
