and prime minister david cameron. the president and prime minister sat down for talks the last hour that likely included anything from the civil war in syria to the upcoming g-8 summit in ireland. it's syria that's expected to dominate the discussion, after the twin bombs that killed more it and 46 people this weekend at the turkish border. the situation amping up as republicans hammer the obama administration hard on two fronts, one of this many here at home. front one, accusations of a coverup after the deaths of four american diplomats in benghazi and the fact that the administration edited those talking points 12 times. >> i'd call it a coverup. i would call it a coverup in the extent that there was willful removal of information which was obvious. >> some on capitol hill are calling for a select committee now to investigate who did what and when. >> i am willing, as i have said continually, to go to that committee. i had regrets about going there first when it looked like this was an entire political circus, but

he is about to appear there in the east room with the british prime minister david cameron. after these joint statements by the two leaders, very often the topic at hand will be whatever they are talking about themselves. but in this case, we expect that u.k.-u.s. relations are not going to be on the minds of the press. our bret baier is joining us as well to help take us through this presidential news conference and joint statement from these two leaders. bret, i'm starting to see some reaction, for instance, senate finance committee chairman max baucus. he says that this irs action, these irs actions are an outrageous abuse of power and a breach of the public's trust. there are, well, some political leaders on capitol hill getting pretty steamed about all of these revelations. >> this is big, big deal. this irs story has the potential to become a major, major controversy here in washington. it is already through this weekend but with hearings on both sides of the capitol on the senate and on the house side. as you mentioned democrats weighing in with some pretty stern lang

right now the president is meeting with british prime minister david cameron. they'll hold a joint press conference in about an hour. the big question dogging the president this morning is still about benghazi. republicans calling for more hearings, subpoenas, depositions. they say they need to get to the bottom of what happened eight months ago. senator mccain wants a joint select committee to investigate calling what happened a coverup and congressman darrell issa wants testimony from the two men in charge of an independent review of what happened, former ambassador too many as pickering and admiral mike mullen. >> ultimately if that got it right, then we can put this to a rest. we believe it was insufficient. we believe it is likely they did not interview all the people. we have a witness who says i want to be interviewed and i wasn't. >> this morning ambassador pickering said he will testify. >> i am willing, as i have said continually, to go to that committee. i had regrets about going there at first when it looked like this was an entire political circus.

president, earlier this year you told david cameron you wanted a strong uk in a strong eu. how concerned are you that members of david cameron's cabinet are now openly contemplating withdrawal? and on syria, if i may have a question to both of you, what gives you any confidence that the russians are going to help you on this? >> well first of all on the issue of a referendum, look, there's not going to be a referendum tomorrow and there's a very good reason why there's not going to be a referendum tomorrow. it would give the british public, an entirely false choice between the stall status quo, which i don't think is acceptable. i want to see the european union change and i want to see britain's relationship with the european union change. and i don't think that's a choice the british public want or deserve. everything i do in this area is guided by a very simple principle. which is what is in the national interests of britain? is it in the national interests of britain to have a trans-atlantic trade deal that will make our countries more prosperous, that will get people to

prime minister, david cameron, just spoke. we'll hear from him coming up. >> reporter: the chp asking for the public's help this morning as you head out to work after a man was killed in a very strange accident in his car on interstate 580. i'm christie smith. i'll tell you how it happened coming up. >>> some folks finish their day as you are getting ready to start your day. we are having a little shakeup for 880 in the east bay and also in the south bay. that is coming up. >>> hold on to your steering wheel this morning. winds are still strong and hold on. you are almost to that three-day weekend. your full forecast coming up in moments. >>> a live look outside. san jose hp pavilion. you made it to thursday, may 23rd. this is "today in the bay." >>> good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. good morning, everybody. despite hea

we have been enjoying the spectacle and considering what the queen's speech tells us about david cameron's ambition for the coalition in the months to come. the traditions and features a state openings are reassuringly familiar. there is one notable change this year. we will have not one, but two royal processions making their way to the entrance of the palace. the prince of wales is attending with the duchess of cornwall. first time together. we expect them to arrive just before 11:00. taking position at the house of lords, we will have the band of the welsh guards to provide the guard of honor and the royal salute. inside the palace, the chamber of the house of lords, they are already claiming their seats. as ever on state opening-day, they are wearing parliamentary robes. it is a glorious sea of gold. we have a few minutes before the speech. the words are written by government and approved by the capital. later this morning, the prime minister will be leaving downing street for the houses of parliament. the is when members of house of commons will be summoned to the chamber of the lord

it comes a day after president obama and david cameron met at the white house and there was distance on the syria issue. with cameron using far more urgent language. five million people forceed from their homes. serious history is being written in the blood of her people. the world meads to bring the killing to an end. they say that a cia officer was detained on supposed suspicions of spying after he attempted to recruit a russian secret agent. he was under the guides of a diplomat and written introductions and a large sum of money when he was detained. sounds like a tom clancy novel. to minnesota where later mark dayton will sign the same-sex marriage bill into law.

it is prime minister david cameron says the west has found common ground with russia, the key ally of the syrian leader, bashar al-assad. >> this follows talks with u.s. president barack obama at the white house and came just days after hammering met with russian president vladimir putin to discuss solutions -- after cameron met with russian president vladimir putin to discuss solutions. >> 80,000 dead, 5 million people forced from their homes -- syria's history is being written in the blood of her people, and it is happening on our watch. the world urgently needs to come together to bring the killing to an end. none of us have any interest in seeing more lives lost, in seeing chemical weapons used, or extremist violence spreading even further. so, we welcome president putin's efforts -- agreements to join in efforts to reach a political solution. we have an urgent window of opportunity before the worst fears are realized. there is no more urgent international task than this. >> that was david cameron speaking a short while ago. that go live to our washington correspondent for more. -
