Japan Reform Package Defeat Threatens Hosokawa Government
Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa faces a crisis as the upper house defeats the reform package 130 to 118. The measure would curb corporate political contributions and overhaul Japan’s electoral system, abolishing multi seat districts to curb corruption. The setback weakens his 5 month old coalition and raises questions about his leadership ahead of a Clinton meeting.

Cabinet shake-up leaves Yeltsin teetering on reform path
Four months after disbanding parliament Yeltsin reshuffles a conservative cabinet amid Western image concerns and rising ultranationalist pressure. He gains a new constitution backed power but loses reformers who warned he risks standing alone as Chernomyrdin Soskovets and moderates move to seize command. Clinton and Kohl sought to reassure on reforms while two advisers Sachs and Aslund resigned in protest.
