sunday whale hunting is condemned by conservation groups who say many whale species are facing extinction. european union leaders have been locked in all night discussions over who will fill the top jobs following e.u. parliamentary elections 6 weeks ago in the run up to the summit france germany agreed to support a common candidate for the key post of commission president the dutch social democrat runs to months but their choice is met with some stiff opposition. over more now for the very latest we're joined by. john he's at the e.u. council building in brussels max we're hearing some rumors here that they might be closer to agreement on some of those top jobs in brussels what are you hearing at this point. yeah we're hearing some sources saying just that that there is a basis for discussion for an agreement actually but it's not

a done deal yet and that basis would see funds to moments the dutch man being head of the european commission something that would be a victory for the socialists who haven't had that job in a very long time i believe and that would also see the. comeback from the world bank as some of you might know is he right now is the. into rooms director of the of the world bank that she used to be a vice president for the e.u. commission here in brussels so she's a known entity and she would head this institution right here the european council and now we still have to talk about that other candidate that other spits in county that's a lead candidate the one for the strongest party actually the conservatives that's the german monthly veba and the discussion here is that he might become the new president of the european parliament so you see a lot of posts a shuffle it's not over until it's over though and right now it's not over yet. max we have an election here in europe just 6 weeks ago parliamentary elections why is

it proving so difficult for the e.u. to decide on these top jobs. it's always difficult because you have to balance it out between smaller countries larger countries between the east between the west between the major political parties the socialists the conservatives the liberals also to a certain extent the greens you need to make sure there are men and women represented of course it's harder to have equality in these posts than than you might think in these days and it's gotten even harder this year because in the parliament you need 3 parties to have a majority in the past it would be enough to have the socialists and the european peoples party so the conservatives agree on something that's no longer positive possible they need the liberals to go along possibly even the greens to go along and that's why this whole how do you call that you know i don't even know if this whole salad bowl of different options has become so difficult and especially for

the top job the commission president you need a double majority one in the parliament and one right here in the council where the leaders are meeting right now. let's remind us why this top job the commission president is so important what's it all about. it. might be a little less important than some people think because the commission president still follows orders from the leaders so from the council right here but it is of all the positions discussed here today the most influential one because the commission can actually propose legislation they can shape the legislation in a certain direction they can also decide whether to an act a certain procedure against a country 1st for example a deficit procedure like against italy or another country and that's why it's it's powerful because after all that person in charge there is not only the

administrator of the laws but can also steer things in a certain direction make certain interpretations and that's why it's the most powerful job and discussion here but still the most powerful institutions are the most powerful people are sitting here behind me and they've been sitting here for over 18 hours those are the heads of state and government of the different countries in the european union max help thank you so much for helping us make sense of that fascinating salad bowl. in brussels. now to sit down and at least 7 people have been killed and almost $200.00 injured in clashes between police and protesters thousands took to the streets across the country to demand the ruling military council hand power to a civilian government the demonstrations are the biggest since curity forces opened fire on a protest in the capital khartoum almost a month ago killing dozens. of these demonstrators
