we don't see in the cabinet is all powerful the great cardinal of russian politics. in the former cabinet secured the position of why it's previous at the same time we see that former presidential aide out of court which is appointed as the deputy prime minister. has a bit of tradition of that liberally minded economist so i think this is the strong signal both to russian society to the capital of business as well as to the world that russia will not crack from the reforms what is also striking is that we normally see in the new cabinet deeply. interior minister. health minister so it shows that he's just able to. feel good from the society to take into consideration. all those there's a racial worst piece of that political figure of course because you know as we all know this was this was part of president putin pre-election campaign it was promising to do a big shake up he's followed through with that promise it has been a big shake up of the with his new cabinet though the unveiling of the new cabinet was fairly late wouldn't you say well this is north of the shak

i sought advice from the cabinet secretary and the cabinet set -- cabinet secretary as to the secretary of state. >> the prime minister just reassure the house that we are getting maximum value for money in these cash-strapped towns in the office of the independent adviser. [laughter] >> yes, i can. >> i was at the meeting of the public committee where, according to the prime minister's the statements just now, the press secretary said he approved the approach which was taken by the department in relation to using adam smith as a conduit. the press secretary said the secretary of state made a statement and made it clear he is providing full written evidence for looking forward to providing normal evidence l to theeverson inquiry. this makes no reference to the ministers of parliament, how can lleverson deal with this? >> let me be clear -- the approach was approved taken by the department to the clause i- judicial process. this included adams met acting as a contact point with news corp.. it is normal and required to have contacts and a promise secretary has made clear that he was aware

that's why i asked that the cabinet secretary to write to all the departments clarifying the rigorous procedures that the department should have in place for handling cases of this nature. this leads to the second issue, the nature of the inquiries, or inquiries best suited to get to the bottom of this issue. mr. speaker i consulted the cabinet secretary and decided it was right to allow the conduct of the inquiry and not allow a parallel process to establish the fact. we have a judgment inquiry, witnesses required to give evidence under oath full access to papers and records, full cross examination by baristers on television. there was nothing that this could be provided. it is not for them to decide if the prime minister has broken the code. that is an issue for me and i will deal with it properly. >> you must not shout at the prime minister. they want to hear what the prime minister has to say. i want to hear what he has to say. it must be heard with curtsy. the prime minister. >> i will not wait until the end the inquiry to take action is action is needed. if new evidence emerges

guest: when i teach about the cabinet, we look at the relationship between the cabinet and the president. the president's closest advisers come from his closest of staff. the executive office. the cabinet tends to be a mixed bag for the president because the secretaries have loyalty to their own cabinet. to their own agency. the cabinet is not as strong as one would think. guest: one of the things you can note about the cabinet versus the white house staff is that the white house staff does not have to be approved by the u.s. senate. it allows the president to surround himself with more loyal aides. like mr. larsen said, increasingly, presidents get their day to day advice from his staff. host: how does the test of presidential powers? guest: it is all about power. when you talk about government, you are talking about who has the power. is it in the people? we would like to think so. the first three words are after all, we the people. host: just to give you an example of an issue of presidential power coming here is senator tom colburn talking about the issue of presidential recess appoi

at the top russia has a new cabinet ministers managed to hold onto the job but the majority of new kids on the political block. out with the old and in with the new with the appointments of the new government seventy five percent of the nie ministers and many of the people be taking place in government for the very first time so really a significant shake up in from in large part by the wide scale process we've seen in the save in the recent months in the country and much more politically engaged population that have really made their demands very clear and one of those was for a shift amongst the political elite that reflected a moment what they were calling for and so a lot of people going to be looking very closely now to see whether this is going to be the government that's going to be ok he's to. to working towards the reforms that they've been so loudly calling for every ten times the loss of most any major . city we should expect expect some of these young most liberals the prime minister in the day this had baby during his term in the kremlin and now as prime minister is expecte

the cabinet office said the index was 40, down 0.3 points from march.he figure is based on a monthly survey of over 6700 households nationwide. the slump in confidence was mainly put down to a reduction in pension payments starting from april. the cut will be adjusted in line with falling prices of goods. slow auto sales have been tagged as reflecting consumers pessimism. but the cabinet office says it sees some positive citing robust sales of high end goods at department stores. officials say they will closely follow how the european debt problem and power shortages this summer further weigh on shoppers' sentiments. >>> japan's honda motor developed a unicycle people can ride almost as freely as walking. the new personal mobility device called uni-cub is 75 centimeters tall and runs on electricity. it uses honda's robotics technology that has produced human identify robot asimo. the unicycle moves in the direction where the weight is put. but it maintains its balance and even rotates and moves at a speed of 6 kilometers an hour. it is a little faster t

one of them is for the agency or the cabinet position they work for, they may or may not be presidentially appointed. they may or may not be confirmed in the same way. that may be something that needs to be changed. but today we will primarily be dealing with and asking the question of, how can we get greater independence and for this committee, forconsistent transparency with -- to this committee and to the public. with that i recognize the opening of ranking member for his opening statement. >> a point of clarification. the omb i understand has a policy of -- >> i recognize the omb has chosen not to be on this panel. we'll remove the name. it may very well mean that he'll be called back. >> that will be fine. first of all, it's not unwilling, just that it's another precedent and they'll testify at any time. they are glad to come back. >> no. it was an asked for and i had hoped that they would view this as a time in which it would not be a problem. as you know, administration selectively decides at times that they will sit with non-administration, and selective times they won't. ultimatel

and he walked into the cabinet. his exact words were the 30 years war in germany was a joke compared to this. and if we think we're going to sail over there and break them up, we're nuts. and lincoln and his secretary of state, william seward, were very keen to this. right at that time, s evechsewa a letter to the ambassador in london. he said you let them know they're looking at a war of the world, he called it. not a world war. that hadn't been coined. but this is one of the earliest uses of this phrase, a war of the world if they try to get in the middle of this. and so those were the three factors i'd say. >> thank you very much.

you back the time, that is part of the discussion today is if you -- if you serve at the whim of the cabinet officer, and dismissal offends no one in the senate because they didn't confirm you, versus you have been put up, vetted, confirmed by the senate and now a dismissal be the cabinet office, regardless of party reflects directly on those people who confirmed, who typically the senators want to know why. there can be a few differences in the dismissal procession between an acting and a permanent. >> my biggest concern is that this discussion is probably to be directed at the senate more so than at the president because it's the senate that oftentimes takes a long time to confirm individuals and as i understand it, with you mr. miller, you waited 270 days before you were confirmed by the senate. but i don't believe that in any way damaged your ability to do your job, did it? >> i waited about nine months after i was first nominated. in october of 2004, and then i was renominated in january of 2005. i remained it as a prosecutor and assistant united states attorney during that time, until

the qualitative cagers there was an enormous outcry of all of the presumed late appointment of the cabinet and what added to the confusion to the story that we didn't didn't go to as you know g. eight summit there so what we see today is that really this system often them is it isn't working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by some but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are faced by russian. a growing number of young entrepreneurs are turning their backs on america for greener pastures abroad fierce competition from fast growing economies as seeing the children of u.s. immigrants tempted by better employment chances in the countries their parents left behind report neiers more. karen asia is an american citizen pursuing his professional dream in a country his parents abandoned decades ago the twenty six year old relocated to one of the world's fastest emerging economies seeking the success and security that america just couldn't offer i thought that in india there was more scope to actually break through and do something t

still the cabinet office projected more robust spending in the months ahead. government analysts expect orders to rise in the next quarter. >>> executives at japan's three major financial groups like what they see on their books. the books posted higher net profits over the past year. the increase is largely contributed to gains from selling japanese government bonds. mitsubishi ufj reported a 68% increase in net profit from a year ago to about $12 billion. sumitomo mittsu i rose 9% and mizuho's increased 17% to about $6 billion. outstanding government bonds held by the banks added up to a record more than $1.3 trillion. analysts suggest a decrease in the price of japanese government bonds would weaken the bank's bottom line. >>> agents with the federal bureau of investigation have launched an inquiry at jpmorgan chase. traders at the bank made errors that led to losses of more than $2 billion. fbi spokespersons told nhk they see the trades as a problem and are looking into possible fraud. executives at jpmorgan chase have denied illegal conduct, but they have

from my point to you this is the movies dramatic cabinet reshuffle in the decade and what matters is not only the number of the new faces which is really amazing can you imagine three quarters of a new faces but the qualitative changes that there was an enormous cry all of the all of it presumes a late appointment of the cabinet and more added to the confusion of the story that we didn't didn't go to as you know to the g eight summit in every day so what we see to be is that really a system often blame is isn't working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by someone but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are faced by the russian. markets and russia has been flat despite the news of the new cabinet reshuffle more analysis on the way in our business updates with katie. nationalist thomas love nichelle it has defeated the pro e.u. candidate and incumbent in serbia's presidential vote voters blamed him for the economic downturn job losses and corruption during his two terms this excessive previously known for his anti wester

from my point to you this is the movie's dramatic cabinet reshuffle the deck eat and what matters is not only the number of the new faces which is really amazing can you imagine three quarter of new faces but that qualitative changes that there was an enormous outcry or that all of it presumes a later point of the cabinet and added to the confusion of the story but we didn't didn't go as you know. every day so what we see to be is that really a system often blame is working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by someone but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are phrased by russian. now some other news making headlines around the world at this stage of the day in our world update a suicide bomber kills at least ninety people during a military parade rehearsal in the yemeni capital sanaa reportedly wearing an army uniform blew himself up in the middle of a group of soldiers standing near the presidential palace it's not clear if the assailant was actually taking part in the drill this is the deadliest attack in the capita

but there were two -- according to the cabinet office, there were only -- between 2002 and 2005, tony blair spoke to murdoch six times on the telephone. three of those calls were during this period. and i think it's a combination of rupert murdoch trying to find out what's going on and also probably just saying, you know, we're going to support you on this. does that help? >> why would he need to do that? >> well, he wouldn't. he wouldn't. but i think it's -- again, i can't really help you beyond what i've put in my statement. but they -- i think it was the biggest issue anywhere in the world at the time. >> i understand that. but it's -- i suppose it goes back to the whole question of the the perception of the reason why this intensely difficult time which you've described and which we all remember simply from what we were watching and reading. we weren't involved in these decisions. and i can understand his talking to world leaders about this phenomenally important decision. that three times, he should feel it significant enough to chew the custody, talk to, listen to, one newspaper

. >> -- is part of the discussion today is if you serve as the, if you will, the whims of the cabinet officer and dismissal offensive en offends no one versus you've been vetted, put up by the senate and now a dismissal by the cabinet officer regardless of party reflects directly on those people who confirmed who typically the senators want to know why. there can be a huge difference in the dismissal perception between an acting and a permanent. the gentle lady's point is right, which is that, although i.g.s sort of have four-year terms for good behavior at most, we only have two-year terms for good behavior. i'll reset the clock. >> all right. thank you. so i guess my bigger concern is that this discussion should be directed at the senate more so than at the president because it's the senate that oftentimes takes a long time to confirm individuals. and as i understand it with you, mr. miller, you waited 270 days before you were confirmed by the senate. but i don't believe that in any way damaged your ability to do your job, did it? >> i waited about nine months after i was first nomi

from my point to you this is the movie's dramatic cabinet reshuffle the deck eat and what matters is not only the number of the new faces which is really amazing can you imagine three quarters of a. qualitative changes that there was an enormous outcry or that all of it presumes a later point of the cabinet and added to the confusion of the story that didn't didn't go as you know the g eight summit. so what we see today is that the really system often blame is isn't working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by someone but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are face brush. well you can always find the latest on the stories or comments and analysis by going to our web site r.t. dot com has some of the items waiting for you there right now no tweet says in pakistan the country blocks access to twitter after calling a competition to come up with a caricature is of prophet mohammed the last. class a monster we'd hold california's border patrol finds nearly forty tons of marijuana worth millions of dollars just floating off

and instead the prime minister who normally present the cabinet to the president went to the united states prime minister media age of has a good relationship with the but i could bomb of the met last year they had burgers together etc so there is a relationship there how late it had burgers and cetera quality time yes. but i would say that g eight normally is a meeting of heads of state of the eight largest economies and we have a very difficult economic situation in the world maybe mr putin was anxious that the europeans will be asking for loans from russia and didn't want to give them loans i'm speculating i'm not being serious right now but the fact that the first major foreign visit of mr putin is going to be to china indicates we're at what i've been through. what they call the union state clearly it is in russia it's called so use the. joint venture and this is a visit that will probably outline the ways for the worse for integration biller us into russia but the real foreign visit that puts in starts his third term is to china and that should be taken as a note as as a hint for the

he was the first to serve two presidents in the cabinet. it was on 9/11 that he showed us what he was made up. when those planes hit the twin towers, it was secretary mineta who made the call to ground all the planes. he instituted a policy that tsa is following today to ensure that our skies are say. after 9/11, he prevented the profiling of arab-americans and muslim americans in our country. tonight, we honor him and give him this back for a very special reason. i want to thank the san francisco giants for donating a bat autographed by hall of famer orlando said payton. the reason why we are giving thisbat to the secretary is because of what happened to him when he was a young boy. like hundreds of thousands of other japanese-americans, he was forced to relocate into the internment camps. as a young boy, the secretary was taken to the train station by military police officers. as a young boy, he was a huge baseball fan, and he had his prize possession with him -- his baseball bat. the military police saw the young boy with his baseball bat

appointed communications minister and you're also twenty nine and you are the youngest member of the cabinet it's really great to have you with us today thank you so much thank you for the opportunity so we're putin has brought as many as sixteen new faces into the new cabinet and that's really in response to the popular demand for new faces but of course there's concern that it wasn't really a renewable but was was originally shuffle and then you are really generally wanted very few new faces in that cabinet do you feel an extra pressure because of that well look truly. well i believe that. kind of a. sox success story of the must media called it my my my appointment it could be a wonderful example for many even teenagers is just about you if you want to reach some. results if you want to be successful you can just do some you can just start generating ideas you can just start implementing them. and they don't see any kind of pressure you know the public outcry for fresh faces was invigorated by virtue of new communications i mean if you look at it during the protests the biggest number of
