Description: On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker talks to Bernie Sanders delegate to the Rules Committee, Attorney Julie Hurwitz about what's next for his supporters now that he has called for a united effort to elect Hillary Clinton.

As the Democratic National Convention enters its third day today and supporters of Bernie Sanders continue to protest both in and outside of the convention, will his call be heeded or will Sanders voters turn to third party candidates?

Russia and China have criticized the decision by South Korea to deploy an advanced U.S. anti-missile defence system. Seoul has said the THAAD system (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence) is necessary to counter threats from North Korea, but will it only inflame regional tensions? Joining Becker to discuss THAAD is Michael Elleman, Consulting Senior Fellow for Missile Defence at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, D.C. and a former UN weapons inspector.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is meeting Secretary of State John Kerry today. The meeting comes weeks after a UN Court ruled in favor of the Philippines against China in matters related to the South China Sea, but is Duterte looking to ease relations? Becker speaks with author Patrick Lawrence and activist David Ewing about whether or not the South China Sea dispute is cooling.
