anyway is it available now the conflict, returning to the latvian application along the lines of the cabinet of ministers and local self-government. you feel the tension simply. well, first of all, you need to pay attention to the fact that absolutely recently, i read somewhere that it is the first president and government of which there are no conflicts . in this period of time, the institutions do not work and the cabinet of ministers does not perform its functions at all, all functions and commands are issued by a few people from the president's office, and it seems to me that the moment has just arrived. i liked it, but at the moment everyone clearly understands that there should be a strong government in which there are really ministers and at the meetings of the cabinet of ministers there is a discussion, there are those who do not agree and there is a legal decision of one of the key ministers. ours is very strong because we survive all the challenges somehow, we manage to grind it all and get out of the situation in some way, but it cannot be forever, but just such opportunities for

last few days but today we have a new cabinet-— a new cabinet.s as well. more appointments to come, we expect. it wouldn't on the face of it look like a radical reshuffle of it look like a radical reshuffle of the cabinet pack and it would seem, as things stand, that those cabinet ministers who had seen the prime minister yesterday and told him he should resign but hadn't resigned themselves, they would appear to be willing to carry on in office. so the prime minister expected here shortly, within the hour, it wouldn't surprise me if it was within the next ten or 15 minutes or so. and then we will hear from the prime minister within the next hour, making the case, which will be fascinating to hear, firstly his reflections on his time as prime minister. what does he regard as his legacy? be keenly contested by journalists, the electorate and historians. but how will he define historians. but how will he define his legacy? and crucially, how willie frame the argument that justifies in his own mind the desire to carry on as prime minister until octo

donald trump's cabinet. today, cnn is reporting that treasury secretary steve mnuchin has testified to the jab january 6d th investigation in congress and best remembered as this guy, the one who brought his wife along to the office one day so they could pose with all of the money, and another reason steve mnuchin is worth remembering is that he is reportedly one of the cabinet secs who opened up discussions of using the 25th amendment on donald trump in the aftermath of the january 6th attack. in his book "betrayal," mnuchin talked to other members of the cabinet about attempting to remove trump from office by invoking b the 25th amendment. among the cabinet officials he spoke to that night was secretary of state mike pompeo. pompeo has denied the conversation. but to this day, mnuchin has never responded to questions about. it he still refuses to say whether he on january 6th thought that donald trump might have beenth mentally unfit to continue serving as president of the united states. "the new york time

the new cabinets on in is more or less the very same cabinet as the old one. even the defense secretary of very staunch supporter of the former president, go to our b roger boxer. ah, one of the leading commanders during the war. a major general retired major to come again to ratner has been re appointed as defense secretary, which all goes to show that there might be a new name and a new person in the top office. but it very much seems to be that those who have been appointed are all raj fox loyalists. so that's what it seems like. so the reaction, i mean if i can just show you here, people are still protesting. we haven't seen a violent pushback quite frankly. but the anger, the frustration is still there, but just step out of view to let you see behind me there is this silent demonstration or sat to grow her by protesters are sitting right opposite of the barricade. now for them. or what they have said is the crack down that was launched in the early hours of this morning at 1 o'clock in the morning by hundreds of military and special task force. police com

and either today appointed a cabinet to serve as i will until the new data is in place. it was a speech show on contrition, and it gave the impression of johnson as the victim rather than the agent of his own demise. since tuesday, when key cabinet ministers, santi, job aid, and richie sue not quit, the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing. the chris pincher affair, and what johnson knew about previous sexual misconduct allegations against the m. p . was a scandal too far. by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting. as an old westman, the saying that a week has a long time in politics, we're currently that unit of measurement seems quaintly inadequate. try an hour, maybe 5 minutes. and there are many conservatives for whom speed has become vitally important. they don't want boris johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they want him gone. now. george freeman for example, who resigned his science minister? sadly, he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability. and it's disruptive

what does that say about the entire cabinet around him? you are right.was first standing, when borisjohnson was first standing, when i boris johnson was first standing, when i was trying to convince people to vote for almost anybody exactly him, people would say, "but he can win and when i would remind them that everybody that i knew in parliament knew that this man was incompetent and dishonest and not suitable as a prime minister, the answer kept coming, "but he is a winner." and i think it is very sad that so many people decided to vote for him to be prime minister in the first place and that so many people were prepared to go along with this cabinet, and it is sad. it is said in so many ways. probably the most fundamental thing is that it erodes the reputation of our country and it makes it very difficult for us to face some of the most experienced challenges any british government has faced. i think the security challenges we face, the economic challenges, are so extreme they are almost unlike anything we have seen it since the second world war and

other members of johnston's cabinet were seen coming and going from downing street. they are still backing him, at least for now. nadeem the ha, we was quickly appointed the new chancellor. the health minister position went to former chief of staff. steve barkley, i can mouse to fall off as johnson survived a vote ahead confidence a month ago. another vote can be held for a year. johnson has managed to ride out many a storm. now polls suggest a majority of britons want him out. they will have to see whether this time there is enough pressure from within his own party to force him to step down. that spring anal, correspondent, big mass. more and more lawmakers are abandoning bars. johnson multiple scandals are weighing on his government. could this be the final push to topple johnson's government? it's very difficult then to imagine how he can stay on one conservative m p. i was in touch with. yes, this is really, really tough situation for him. he really doesn't have anywhere to turn to we've seen cabinet minister resign and we've seen a trickle of junior ministers t

two cabinet secretaries resigned for example. secretary chow and secretary voss.oss said this is an inflexion point. what happened here on january 6, that's it for me. we know there were credible reports. the committee wants to get to the bottom of it, that other cabinet secretaries like mnuchin were going to invoke the 25th amendment. >> you would then say if you were considering 25th amendment, why? did you consider the behavior criminal? i want to bring in our reporter who has new reporting this morning about these key cabinet officials testifying. tell us what you know. >> reporter: there is a long list of names in the cabinet that the house is looking into now trying to get information out of as their investigation continues on. so the new information today is that they have interviewed the former secretary of the treasury, steve mnuchin and are negotiating for interviews with john ratcliffe at the end of the trump administration. we learned yesterday that mike pom p pom pompeo was in talks to do an interview. mick mulvaney, the former acting white house chie

donald trump's cabinet. today, abc news and cnn are reporting that trump chair jury secretary mnuchin has testified to the january 6th committee -- best remembered, as this guy. the guy who brought his wife to the office one day so that they could pose with all the money. but another reason, excuse, me steve mnuchin is worth remembering his that he opened up discussions about using the 25th amendment on donald trump in the aftermath of the january 6th attack. in his book, betrayal, about the end of trump's presidency, abc news's jonathan call wrote that according to a source, familiar with the conversations, starting the night of january six quote, mnuchin talked to other members of the cabinet about attempting to remove trump from office by invoking the 25th amendment. among the cabnet officials he spoke to that night was pompeo, pompeo has denied the conversation, but to the, stay mnuchin has never responded to questions about it. he still refuses to say whether, he, on january 6th, thought donald trump mi

now, downing street has made it clear that some cabinet was told in the last few hours. there will not be any new policy directions. no new initiatives, there will not be any new policies put forward in terms of fiscal policy. i said that probably means the a much announced tax cuts. that bar is johnson's been talking about put on pause, but talking about driving through things which they do have an agenda for perhaps things like m m changes to break sits and that term bill that's going through parliament or which effectively scraps the northern ireland protocol and agreement with the european union. and so, and there's lots to do and people are asking, what do you have the people in place? boris johnson insists he does and that for the stake of stability, he's the man to preside for who knows how long until a new leader has been chosen. it's not very popular among some of his colleagues. the minister who resigned that you heard in rory's report. there pointed out the instability in the fact that some his joncelyn at eames a hallway, the new chancellor actually told bori

margaret thatcher was brought down by her cabinet. it may turn out to be the case that is the achilles' heel the boris johnson experiences. this is his weak point, that his cabinet will no longer tolerate him being prime minister and will step in and intervene and effectively remove him. the question is, some of those resigning are going to be leaving leadership challenges. rishi sunak talked about this could be his last ministerial post. he also faced his own challenges as a result of his rich spouse and the scandal that surrounded that. maybe he is going to step away from government. we will see what happens. kriti: guy johnson, that leadership potential is what will keep a close eye on. thank you. we step back into the volatility. that coverage all coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ real luxury, real thrill. feel the rush of performance at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. kriti: this is "bloomberg markets." i am greedy group to with jon erlichman -- i am kriti gupta with jon erlichman. vince cignarella brexit do
