a month ago. these demonstrators made their way to khartoum's defense ministry to appeal to military rulers it was one of numerous rallies in cities across sudan protesters were eager to make their voices heard. god punished these oppressors. we want to civilian government a civilian one. and some marches carried photos of family members who were among dozens killed when police broke up a peaceful sit in protest outside omi headquarters in early june that violence coincided with the collapse of tools between military rulers and protest leaders about should head any governing body sunday's rallies marked the 1st return to destry since then. as protesters in khartoum near the presidential palace officials made it clear that they were unwilling to listen to the voice of the people saying

top positions following may's european elections france and germany have reached a compromise on who they think will take the key commission president post dutch social democrat frets temperaments but their choice is meeting with some stiff opposition. and we are joined now by did i mean correspondent york matus at the european council in brussels are the e.u. leaders any closer to an agreement yet. the meeting has been delayed twice now by bilateral meetings and that's an indication normally that things are not exactly running smoothly leaders clearly have to feel these finding someone for the top job in the european commission or it doesn't look like the compromise that france and germany have for reached basically lifting someone from the netherlands

the dutchmen france to months of social democrats onto that top position within the european commission it's not finding a huge support and a number of diplomats have come out of that meeting where leaders are meeting right behind me in the real ping council here in brussels and have told us that it may take actually another summit in about 2 weeks times in order to resolve this conflict. well it's certainly sounds like the divisions are quite deep there then if another summit is required would you say that there are deeper than usual this is often a long process funny commission president. i would say 2 things are at play here one the situation is that you need not only to find the head of the european commission but also for other top jobs within the european union so the place of the foreign policy chief the head of the european council the head of the european central bank but also the european parliament needs to find

a new president and in order to allocate these 5 top jobs a number of factors come into play you need to think about a 2 of those posts are supposed to be filled by by the female candidates you need to think about placing someone from the east of europe into one of those top positions you need to think about party political considerations become. all of that needs to be considered and then in particular this is a special situation the head of the european commission is appointed by the council by member states but it has. to be approved by the european leader of these 2 institutions. the european council can't agree on a single kind of makes things so difficult. complexity could you just remind us of all the posts that are being talked about why the european commission job president's job is the most important in many ways.
