. >> reporter: the chairman of the city council committee that oversees police says the union never raisedue and he says don't blame the current administration. >> what we saw over the last four years, the previous mayor was that there was a deliberate effort to not appoint anybody any of these boards. a lot of these boards, the membership just dried up and the boards became non-existent. this is just another one of those boards that was a victim of the previous maryland administration. >> reporter: we have had a new mayor that's been in office for almost a year and a half now, and that continues. >> yes. i'm not sure i would say it continues, but they were polled by the abandonment -- by the previous administration and it's very hard to fill all of the boards at one time. >> reporter: the city tried to get the lawsuit thrown out of court this week, but the judge says forget it. the suit goes forward. the one that chairs the committee says it may be time to reexamine whether the board is even necessary. everything, he said, is on the table. anita. >> i'm sure you'll keep us posted. thank y

union mine and a nonunion mine. there is three minimum health and safety committee representatives of the united mine workers at every union mine. they travel with the federal inspectors. they travel with the state inspectors. and they file reports on their own. they inspect the mines themselves, at least four times a year. in some places they inspect the entire mine every month. so there is another set of eyes that being a representative to workers at all the union mines. and that's not true at a most nonunion mines. the protections that they have at nonunion mines are the federal inspectors and the state inspectors. so it's a world of difference. >> thank you for that response. dr. kohler, legal me ask you, do you feel you have sufficient personnel at and if so how do you keep them with you? >> the workforce challenges spread across the mining industry. they're not just confined to msha. we experienced them at niosh. universities, everywhere. everyone is struggling to hire and recruit talented personnel into mining. just to give you an example, msha and niosh both compete for entry level mining engineers. a student

>> look, i think ultimately the nuclear none proliferation committee has reciprocal commitments. and states like the united states and the soviet union and others that signed the treaty initially as nuclear states, they have an obligation to move towards disarmament. i think actually the obama administration shares the view that there are obligations on both sides, which is why they moved aggressive forward on new start, which was not an insignificant political risk. i think matt thinks some of those cuts go through too deep but i don't know if that's true or not. but in any case, i think the administration believes basically we also have to make good faith efforts to start to shrink our arsenal. but it doesn't excuse iran's commitment under the npt. the fact of the matter is iran gave up the right to have nuclear weapons when they signed the npt. unless they're willing to pull out of the npt, the iranians are not a member of the npt, we are a member and committed to drawing down forces, that member is ironclad no matter what we're doing. >> kbh you put yourself in the place of the leader of tehran, they're probably thinking what nuc

morning rupert murdoch testified before the leveson committee and discussed former prime minister margaret thatcher's ownership of news corp. and his relationship with unions>> it was quite an infamous occasion. one looks at the few numbers of people there and mr. factor and mr in them and you and the meeting was that your request. you see that? >> i hope you don't mind if i tease you about this. when you told the select committee on the nineteenth of july that he wished politicians would leave you alone, you were at this meeting. what we see -- >> from the company, the likelihood of a >>> of ownership. it was quite appropriate. >> that was probable and one outcome, might have closed the title if you couldn't sell them. there were two purposes. one was to give your thoughts about what is described here as the embryonic and developing reason administration. do you see that in paragraph 2? >> i think it shows at least the conversation, time taken up by american politics. >> in this way president-elect reagan and you were on the same page politically. weren't you? >> i guess. this was just before his inauguration. >> is it part of the purpose of this meeting,

the income for a lot people. >>neil: thank you. i think. union leaders are teaming up with the democratic committee to public for tax hikes on the rich and touting private sector job growth. the former g.o.p. presidential candidate, huckabee, sees irony in this. >>guest: we are talking about increasing taxes when we really need some things that will get the job market doing and what ed was saying is powerful. people say romney is not paying enough taxes making it off of capital gains and he will be come january with a tax increase, as will a lost other americans and he can afford it and a lot of retired firemen and teachers would live off investment income would cannot. >>neil: not a huge difference between the release of the president's tax rate and romney's but i digress. do you get a sense, governor, that this will be an issue that resonates or that arguing about who pays more in taxes or the rate, will register, period? >>guest: well, the romney campaign has to be careful that romney does not come across as a person who doesn't understand and doesn't care. people do not resent wealth. they rese
