Brazil's Interim President Michel Temer holds first cabinet meeting Friday May 13,2016

Brazil's new interim president, Michel Temer, has held his first official cabinet meeting, after vowing the new team would try to rescue the country's plunging economy at a moment of profound political confrontation.

Michel Temer's choice of ministers has raised criticism for its makeup: All its members are middle-aged or elderly white men - a particularly sore point in this majority non-white country

Six women, including one black, were included in the 39 members of Rousseff's cabinet when she began her second term last year.
