geoff: my supposition is, no effect whatsoever.ld refer you to the beginning of the press conference. it's not why the reporter is there, but she talked about her passion around issues involving women and girls. she talked about the insulting actions of the republicans with regard to iran. there are really important issues facing the country right now. and facing the world, that she can make a unique contribution to addressing. and that is, at the end of the day, why she will be a candidate for president. i think she understands that you go through these kinds of things , but i know hillary clinton. she is a person of immense purpose, and i think she will approach this campaign with that sense of purpose. mark: did anything she say today surprise you? geoff: i'm with doug on the yoga thing. i did not know that. mark: do you have any married children? geoff: i have two wonderful sons with wonderful girlfriends, but not married yet. mark: if one of them had been making plans to get married would you delete those? geoff: one thing we

. >> geoff, that's troubling, the news you're giving us about ukraine.oks like it is total pr campaign. is putin going to be seen there today do you think? >> yeah these events are incredibly well staged managed by the government. it has a strong background in rolling out these kind of patriotic moments for russian people and then tell advising them around the region. we have seen some prerecorded clips of the president speaking. as you know he has been something of an elusive character over the last two weeks, finally turning up earlier this week at a photo opportunity, so we are hoping that he will make an appearance here, but you never can tell. we've already had some prerecorded comments. we will have to wait and see whether he appears in the flesh. back to you. >> geoff cutmore, thank you very much. >>> after a stunging re-election victory, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu plans to form a new government in the next two to three weeks. his party had a decisive victory over herzog and leftwing party. joined by ronan farrow. good morning. >> g

struggle that brandt places at the heart of his storytelling another great so-called crime novelist geoff wine baugh says the best crime novels aren't about how cops work cases but about how cases work cops. that's a good line. >> yes. >> rose: that holds true with fervor in "the whites" because that's about how the case works the cop. >> yeah that these people take this guy who committed some kind of atrocity, and you never know, one man's atrocity is another man's big deal, and rarely are the whites for these guys the persons that had the high -- the perps that had the highest victim count. it's something personal between -- something inside that cop and the scenarios and the story of the victims or something about the perp, they're responding to something. >> rose: what's interesting about this is billy graves. he is the moral conscience of this. >> she's a regular schmo. he's more treasury in his wife and -- he's more interested in his wife and family than in being a cop. his wife has a very black secret he can never get to the bottom of which is revealed during the book, but the thin

big deal now daze but you become that the 1820s it was hugely important, and then on tom of that you geoff the day tariff of abominations which was basically a log-roll between new england and the mid-atlantic states at the expense of the south, and ultimately precipitated the nullification crisis. that was something he missed today, log -- i talk about this in the second half of the book -- is that log-rolls today usually don't exist on the house floor or the legislative floor. they certainly happen but usually the committees are much better for securing what political scientists call gains from trade. you hand discretionary power over the process to committees and then people who want pork from say, defense or technology they gravitate to whatever committee has particular control over it. so that was not formed yet in madison's day and that's why you get to rivers and harbors. >> as a former committee staffer, saw way too much of that up front. i want to go back to what i think is an interesting issue, hamilton almost suggesting there's good corruption, and i'll use some of the exampled

>> i think the obvious answer is geoff got to moscow and found putin. this is about his third or fourth absence, and there was another leader stalin who used to disappear as well. you don't know if it's some kind of depression or something like that, but what it did underscore is what you said at the top, it's about the instability surrounding succession in russia. it's the reason why investing in countries without that kind of succession plan or democracy, so to speak, are not necessarily good bets. you can have a lot of volatility around that kind of thing. >> john what's your read of his public absence and now unusual was it? >> it was odd. steve is right, he's done this before. he did it at the beginning of his presidency not in more recent years. yeltsin used to do this when he got drunk, he would just disappear for several hours. he would stay on his plane or disappear for a day or so. i don't see how putin comes out of this without seeming somehow weaker because there is no explanation for it. what was it was it an illness? was it an internal pow
