cabinet? ms. chervinsky: many were suspicious because there was not much transparency. they knew roughly what it was, but they were not sure who was in the cabinet and who had power at the time. they were also suspicious about the fact that have been members while -- that cabinet members while serving picking still held their seat in parliament. the design was to serve as a conduit between the king and parliament. americans view that as a suspicious set up. they felt it brought corruption into the monarchy. at first americans were excited about king george the third when he came to the throne. they thought the british cabinet was to blame for the conflict afterwards. >> how did they set up something different? ms. chervinsky: in 1787, when delegates met to form the constitutional convention, they discussed the british system in great detail. similartheir proposals to the british cabinet were rejected. instead they established two options for the president to obtain advice. requestident could w

we should be getting that announcement of his cabinet around 3:00 p.m. french time, about two hours from now. next, new clashes have broken out in athens today. thousands of greeks walked off the job's -- off their jobs -- againstadditional austerity measurements. the strike was called by the country's main public and private sector unions one day before greece's parliament is due to vote on reforms that would help unlocked funds from the bailout. james comey memos are coming back to haunt donald trump. media reports said comey wrote a memo where the president asked him to shut down an investigation into michael flynn. flynn resigned before the meeting, after reportedly his contacts with the russian ambassadors. trump reportedly shared classified security intelligence with russia's foreign minister and ambassador. the u.s. president accused of trying to suspend the fbi investigation into his campaign ties with russia. incident reportedly took place on february 14, the day after his national security adviser resigned for failing to disclose contacts with

lose their places on the cabinet.enie: thank you, chris. government's main portfolios, president macron and his prime minister chose politicians with long experience. other ministries were given out to people from outside the political sphere. the new culture minister is little known even in her own country. shirley explains. >> i am a publisher. >> the new culture minister still needs to introduce herself. little-known to the french oflic, she has headed one france's top publishing houses. she is the perfect example of what president emmanuel macron promised to bring into the government. people from the civil society, not power thirsty politics professionals. she has been her career behind the scenes. biologist first and then publisher. the publishing house has thrived under her management, printing bestsellers. such as the millennium series and critically acclaimed books. in 2015 her authors received the nobel prize and two of france's main literary awards. she has opened a culture center featuring arts exhibits and

inl not be -- who could be his cabinet.hat cabinet will not yet be announced officially, but we could get a sneak peek at who will be in it over the next couple of days. so, he has to go through that process of setting up his cabinet and reaching out to political figures on the left and right. that will take place over the next couple of days. there will also be the formality of standing down as the head of the movement to make way for some adults to take over ahead of the parliamentary elections. that is the big picture today, claire. there was a huge media scrum following emmanuel macron when he arrived earlier. there is a huge security presence appeared today. the feelingives you that someone very important has turned up. next someone important indeed -- >> someone important indeed. james, thank you so much. and john in the studio is our international foreign affairs commentator. hello, doug. emmanuel macron is going to be sworn in on sunday. he has come a very long way, and he has become somewhat rather important in a v

so there is a gap between the president and his cabinet officers and what the europeans are hearing. i think president trump needs to speak more like his secretary of state and secretary of defense. >> shannon: he has been critical because of the way they have handled their migrant crisis and having the free flow of borders. it seems as if his cabinet members have had part of the conversation, he has had the other part of the conversation that has been very critical. >> and that's i think unfortunate. because every past republican president has believed that the

cabinets. it consists of probably about 5,000 items. and the collection focuses on early california history, native americans but then particularly the history of shasta county. so this collection is important because it is a way for us to preserve the past and learn about the past in shasta county. and we've had some very interesting things that happened in this area. we were, we had gold mining, the railroad, native american, we were part of the central valley water project with shasta dam and whiskey town dam. so we have a lot of really exciting things, and it's important that we preserve the past as we prepare for the future. and it's really important for the children of shasta county that they understand where they grew up and this rich history and the part that we played in the history of california. so the items on the table are kind of -- they are arranged in chronicle order, and and i've selected things that kind of represent the significant historical moments in our county. but i also

my guest today, fikile mbalula, was made police minister in a recent controversial cabinet sha keup.e scandals pile—up, are we witnessing the slow death of the anc? fikile mbalula, welcome to hardtalk. let's begin with a simple question, there is no doubt the anc government is in crisis, who do you believe has the responsibility for that crisis? well, i wouldn't say it is a crisis. i would say we are undergoing some challenges in relation to what is happening now. and i think it is a test of time, which has happened not only now, over a period of time anc has been tested. it has emerged victorious at each turning point in terms of its history. well, you call it a challenge, i call it a crisis. i don't know what other word you could use when even the vice president suggests that the actions taken by his boss, the president, jacob zuma, have been unacceptable. well, the deputy president can express those views but we must understand the president has his prerogative and they have been placed in those positions by membership of the african national congress to lead, even in difficult ti

the economic situation since this disastrous cabinet reshuffle has taken a new downward turn.frica's debt turned into junk bold status by snp. we have had south africa's debt turned into junk bond status by snp. we've got economic forecasters say this is going to be a disaster for the south african economy. you have already got an unofficial unemployment rate of 50%. you are now supervising economic as well as political chaos. there is no political chaos. it is the wishes of others that seek to project a political chaos. and it is important that for everybody to come to the party, and to understand that it is important in the interest of all south africans and our national interest to come around what is important around our country. the state of the economy in relation to growth and employment creation has been a matter that has been receiving our attention since 1994. even the recession that we have come to witness has exacerbated the situation. in this particular instance, we are going to have to work, all of us together, to ensure that we get out of the quagmire ofjobless

emmanuel macron unveiled his cabinet and plan for reaching across party lines. donald trump on the so-called leak scandal. the 70thurtain up on cannes film festival kicks off. >> thanks for joining us. our top stories this hour, blurring party lines. emmanuel macron has appointed his cabinet with centrist, conservatives, and political newcomers in the mix. he's picked ministers from across the political spectrum but also get half of the jobs up grabbed two women. crucial parliamentary elections are just around the corner. we take a closer look at who is who in his cabinet. >> 22 ministers, 11 men, and 11 women. macron's first government s and politicaln outsiders. at 69, the new minister has been one of his closest advisers. the centrist leader becomes justice minister. he will be in charge of a new law to clean up french politics. a key condition for his political alliance with macron earlier this year. sending a strong signal to the business community, conservatives will be in charge of the economy. finance minister and the budget minister. a well-known enviro

a third cabinet nominee was confirmed on january 31. to compare, by january 31 in prior administrations, president obama had ten nominees confirmed and george w. bush and bill clinton each had 13 confirmed. now, please keep in mind that it's impossible for democratic senators by themselves to defeat a trump nominee. confirmation requires only a majority voting in present, that is usually 51 senators. there are 52 republican senators, and in addition, the vice president pence can vote in the case of a tie. there is no 60-vote filibuster to block these nominees because democrats, when they were in the majority in 2013, changed senate rules to eliminate the filibuster on nominationles. by their obstructions, democrats are using various tactics to require the senate to use nearly a week of floor time to approve even a noncontroversial nominee. now, we don't know how democrats will treat president trump's more than 350 remaining key nominees because the president has made so few of those. for example, i'm chairman of the health, education, l

the fact is, there were people within her own party, people within the cabinet to thought it was a badst not listening to anyone? it was a bad idea. is she just not listening to anyone ?|j it was a bad idea. is she just not listening to anyone? i do think one of the lesson that has come out of this is that we know, this is true with tony blair and probably with david cameron, he had a very sort of gilded circle, it does seem that prime ministers of all parties are to you eager tojust prime ministers of all parties are to you eager to just listen to a very few voices and they tend to govern much better when they listen toa govern much better when they listen to a wider cabinet and consult a bit more. that is probably a lesson that needed to be learned by mrs may, as it was learned by her predecessor. i suspect after this, she will... one thing that is good about her is that she does listen. she campaigned for a mane and now she is carrying through lees, but she listened,. i don't think she will make this mistake again. they get up this morning and say, prime minister, we've got to get r

the senators said this is the slowest a cabinet has been approved since george ashington. another example, the first day of the obama administration, we approved half of the cabinet. ms. werner: you indicated that you have problems with director comey and you welcomed a fresh start. what are your thoughts that there is at least a perception problem with the president ousting the person at the head what are your thoughts that of the investigation of the president? sen. grassley: well, the only thing i can go back to is the one document that was put together by rosenstein. and more importantly, the personality of rosenstein -- and i do not know him well except when he came to my office for an interview and then he was before our committee. i do not know him. nd president bush appoints him nd a president obama keeps him on and he wins 94-6 for confirmation. he is second in charge. the fbi reports to him. he feels there is a lack of confidence in him so i have to take the judgment of a guy that has broad bipartisan support. mr. lesniewski: some of your colleagues on the judici

to say that the commander-in-chief ahead of the executive branch and multiple members of the cabinet active pre-textually required the strongest showing. i don't think plaintiffs put together the kind of record -- >> there is a bad faith exception? agree?the court read justice -- do you agree? >> the court read justice kennedy's concurrence and said there is a bad faith exception. under this court's case law the exception is there. >> the exception only applies to individual visa denials? >> i don't think so at all. i think it applies to the full scope as mandel. which is to say the challenges to exclusions of aliens abroad, whether they are the statute or executive order. mandela has always governed those kinds of challenges. and the differences they require at least some affirmative showing of bad faith. it isn't just a wide-ranging inquiry to subjective motivation. >> if we conclude the district court applied the wrong standard, the government's position is this should be mandel. shouldn't we send it back to the district court to apply mandel and see if they can make an affirmativ

it began with mike pence and then a different cabinet secretaries. the american government is functioning and functioning very well. i'm very pleased with people like rick perry at energy, scott pruitt at epa, and jeff sessions as attorney general. each one is proceeding to promote a limited government agenda, which will provide freedom and jobs for the people of our country. department, justice it is the second in command being asked by democrats and republicans of appointing a special prosecutor to look at these issues. is that the case? guest: we don't need a special prosecutor. i've absolute faith and senator richard burr of north carolina. i have absolute faith in mike conaway. one of my favorites, jason shave its, government oversight, we have committees looking into this. we have downside of a special prosecutor and that would drag out forever. i agree with the democrat talking point. let's get to the bottom of it coul. it's not good for the american people with the environment that we are in of lunacy. it's not good. donald trump is succeeded

and do we have any idea of who is going to be in that cabinet?e from the right, left, and civil society. i think 50%, will also be women. he wants them to play a bigger role in politics. and the candidates, from up and down the country, a lot of people who have never been in politics, that is interesting, being all things to all people, you think that his cabinet could be a reflection of the political spectrum? could be a reflection of the political spectrum ? i could be a reflection of the political spectrum? i think it is good to try to reflect the renewal but he has been talking about. a lot of women. and also, people who have got experience. he is going to need that. people from the right, left. appeared to split from the political parties. i am thinking about anybody who fraternise with, could be kicked out of the party. all of them, it is particularly true of the socialist parties, because they are in ruins with the socialist candidate just taking a paltry 6% two weeks ago. with the socialist candidate just taking a paltry 6% two weeks agom

now the tricky test of pointing a cabinet. he's due to unveil the list today but has delayed the announcement until tomorrow. monday he chose his prime minister. next emmanuel macron's attempt to clean up french politics could prove harder than expected. president postponed the announcement of his new cabinet to wednesday, saying more time was needed to properly vet the candidate or potential conflicts of interest. his bow to break through the left-right divide has also come under fire, with critics accusing him of trying to widen for jeanscal base parliamentary elections. >> what i'm going to try to is so the country can succeed as the majority. for people who come from the right like me and from the left like him. people have come from out side politics and are not partisan. >> this is never been done before. >> macron has vowed to nominate 50 ministers within equal number all havingd men, clean criminal records. politicians who may fit the bill include the socialist minister of defense under francois hollande as well as min

the vice president and the cabinet can declare the president unfit to be president.dy you differentiate between illegitimate decision -- between a legitimate decision that a president is not fit from the vice president simply wanting to usurp the president's powers? chris: of course, and this is a problem and it is difficult. if it is done wrong to looks like a coup. we have to think about this carefully. the reason i say this is because donald trump's own advisers seem to think -- i saw a quote the other day we found out trump shared classified intelligence with the russians, an anonymous source said we're not sure he knows the difference between classified information and information and is not classified. if that is correct, this is a man who was not fully aware of how to fill the office. it is a very serious judgment to make and i am not in a position to make it. the vice president and the cabinet are. but if that is the situation they should take action. it is important, we don't know if -- what vice president pence's role is in all this as well. he might not ha

he told the cabinet they couldn't come. they were supposed to stand in the back drop.hey said we will not go at all and he relented and said they could come. so we'll see how this coalition cabinet arrays itself with a lot of the ministers not wanted to show up because of netanyahu's disagreements with him. but this of course a very anticipated first trip by president trump to israel and as you were just saying with jonathan, this really does sublumate all of the political difficulties back home for the time being. richard nixon most notably have used foreign trips in key moments to distract from their problems back home and that certainly could be the case. this is a long planned trip but a lot of other problems have intervened especially as the president was taking off from andrews air force base about 20 minutes to a half hour later, those first reports, damaging reports about the russia investigations. >> let me ask you. i know, andrea, you've covered many inaugural president's trips, most to eekt itherer can or russia. what is the significance of this administrati

whatever the bad faith exception executive branch in multiple members of the cabinet acted pretextual he. we do want to require the strongest showing for that sort of a remarkable holding. i just don't think plaintiffs have put together the kind of record -- >> there is a bad faith exception. >> this court read justice kennedy's concurrence to be controlling -- there's a bad faith exception. obviously didn't find bad faith there. under this court's case law -- yes. so i understand your position, -- onlye men exception applies to individual visa denials? >> no not at all. think it applies to the same. as mandell, which is to say, challenges to the exclusion of aliens abroad. whether those exclusion/are in congress or the president, statute, ordinance second of order, mandell has always governed those types of challenges. the difference between -- these different types of inquiries there's -- the wires that we have a affirmative showing of bad faith. in this context about to be a high one so it isn't just a wide into subjective motivation. >> if we could quote that the district court ap

as you've been hearing from mark perlman, speculation to the makeup of that cabinet. whether or not emanuel macron looks to bridge across the central left or right invested here for decades and obviously his choice as prime minister will be a very symbolic part of that should he do so. and if he does by selecting a center prime minister would be the first under the fifth republic. >> france 24's chris mohr reporting from the prime minister's office. so as we were saying earlier, emanuel macron will take his first foreign trip today as president and headed to berlin to sit down with the german chancellor angela merkel. merkel said improving the european union will feature high on the agenda as martin pollard explains. martin: in germany wmacron's election victory has been welcomed but some are afraid of his ideas for the euro zone. the weekly front page on saturday wrote, emanuel macron, a dear friend, dear as in expensive. then it has he plans to save europe but it's germany who will pay. macron's proposals for the euro zone includes creation of its own special budget

we pray for vice president pence and his family and members of cabinet. we pray that you would give them wisdom and strength and guidance as they make decisions that lead the way to restoring america and renewing our hopes in you. we do know, o god, our ultimate hope is in you and you alone. you are our life. and you are our only hope. we pray for one another that we would be strong in our own faiths, in our commitment and our courage to obey you. and we remember on this day those who suffer and those who hurt, especially those today we remember who are persecuted for their faith and we pray that you would comfort them and bless them. we ask you, o god, that every life, all of us, o god, would do our part where we live and how we serve, in expressing your love to people. now, unto him who's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think or hope, to him be glory in the church throughout all ages, forever and ever. and we pray this in the dear name of jesse helms, amen. name of jesus, amen. >> in the prologue of st. johns gospel we r

back during december, there was an effort to get democratic senators in to the cabinet.zled. i've learned this week that the house gop sought to get reince priebus to appoint house democrats, too. the idea being you would find red statehouse democrats, put them in a cabinet, nice gig, you open up the seat and you could win back the seats in special elections. well, that has not happened and the question now is given these jobs still left and given how competitive this next race is going to be, will the administration find some house democrats in red america, put them in the cabinet. there is one job that is still open as we know, army secretary. it's been twice -- not turned down, but it's open and i think there are folks on the hill who are kind of hoping this administration will find room for house democrats in the cabinet so they can get some of those seats. >> and there has been talk on what was actually promised to a lot of these republicans to get them over the finish line for health care. one thing i'm told is money. they know that they will need it especially for

there was an orchestrated series of resignations from his shadow cabinet.any labour mps urged him to resign. david cameron joined in. >> i have to say to the honorable gentleman, he talks about job insecurity. in my two months ago, it might be in my party's interest and a -- in trust for him to sit there. it is not in the national interest. i would say, for heaven sake, man, go. alicia: but defiant, jeremy corbyn stayed on. labour mps eventually found one candidate, owen smith, despite mr. corbyn in the second summer leadership battle. conservatives could not afford to gloat too much. they had their own leadership turmoil. would it be boris johnson and number 10? who could stop them? the home secretary said she would have a go. pm may: i think i am the best person to be prime minister. alicia: boris johnson still looked to be ahead until the moment michael goad dramatically withdrew his support, triggering a shock exit from the contest. -- contest from the former london mayor. mr. goat came third in the vote of tory mps, meaning two contenders were left. th

you see that in these key positions, especially the trump cabinet. also see it in the delegation from southern states that are having a lot of influence in congress. i think what it adds up to, we understand that the south has to become contested territory. it can't be seated to conservative republicans, or they will be up to up their game in using the south as a platform to drive -- amy: are you saying that change in north carolina? as you said, when you look at the latest election? absolutely. north carolina is an example of the conflicting trends. i'm one hand, the demographics are changing, becoming an state ofg diverse growing populations, and immigrant communities, asian-american communities to return aggression of african-american to charlotte and raleigh. this is changing the makeup from the so-called new american majority. we saw the evidence in the last election. on the other hand, we have to reminded about the deep white conservative trade that exists in many southern states. that is what trump was able to inivate in winning the state 2016
