nations are meeting to replace -- aside who will replace jean-claude juncker.e of the names have managed to secure a consensus from the four major groups in parliament. -- including michelle bonnier, manfred weber, or margrethe vestager. e.u. commissioners will be discussing the block's ambitious climate goals on how to achieve them. with more on that story, here is dave keesling, who has details on the agenda and the struggle to find a candidate for the top job. dave: e.u. national leaders hoped to come to an agreement on selecting the new e.u. commission president, but that has been complicated by conflicts between e.u. countries , political parties, and e.u. institutions. angela merkel's favorite candidate, manfred gable, the spitz and candidate -- spitzen candidate is opposed by emmanuel macron. he is upset of the center-right group that has been powerful across europe has had the commission presidency for 15 years along with other top e.u. positions. he says recent national elections and european elections show the epp's dominance over europe is over and i

you're one the candidates to take over from you're one the candidates to take overfrom jean—claude, you'rethink you have a chance based on the conversations happening? we greens have been doing very well in the elections, but i would say that maybe the president is not the one that we are going to necessarily get with over 10% of the european parliament even though we are very happy about our support from the uk. we set out to do is real change in the policies. still with me are a jewellers for the ear reporter and a french journalist based here jewellers for the ear reporter and a frenchjournalist based here in brussels. 0n election night the phone was saying this is a green wave in the eu would have to listen. this was their first chance to make a statement and it has not gone to plan. i think there will be a lot of very disappointed people that was a very disappointed people that was a very clear sign from the european parliament, like you said 73 huge results and yet that has not translated into powerful statement. a lot of disappointments but it would give the parliament a bit more im

wa nted most of the direction that the uk wanted the eu to move in the paradox is that when jean—claudeto do and i‘m very happy about it. i want and i‘m very happy about it. i want a european parliament that is complaining that they don‘t have enough legislation on their plate. it is good. it means the european union is focusing on core interests and moving away on doing everything to everyone. adam fleming is in brussels for us. listening to that, this is a self—confessed anglophile, one of the uk‘s biggest fans in the eu and he is saying all of that and it really highlights the realities of brexit as eu leaders see it versus the reality that the candidates for prime minister are talking about. yes, there are two points i would make. the first is looking at the netherlands, close to the uk geographically, politically and economically and it‘s going to be really ha rd economically and it‘s going to be really hard hit, one of the hardest hit of all the other eu countries if there is no—deal brexit but they have decided that their national interest is best served by preserving the eu inte

jean—claude juncker and michel barnier will still technically be there but have both technically said minister will have very little scope to talk to europe to get anything back. the problem with the extension is they will have to give a guarantee to tory party members there won't be an extension and i think it is the existential crisis for the tories are so serious that if they don't get britain out of the european union by christmas, the tory party is potentially finished so unless an extension was in very specific circumstances to prepare for a no deal on both sides or because angela merkel gave an indication that there could be movement, if the first indication is to turn to the british in autumn and say, i heard what happened with the brexit party, i don't have any donors, i think i'm going to delay brexit by another three or six months, it doesn't really work. the centre against an extension is there is still the belief in brussels and berlin and france, there is still thing is to solve before we have a voice. we have no certainty if a no—deal brexit will succeed or not because

among the positions up for grabs is that of european commission president, currently held byjean claudeons vying for control. but arriving for the summit, the french president, emmanuel macron, said he believed there would be a decision on several jobs today. joining me now from brussels is our correspondent, adam fleming. is that an optimistic view? it is optimistic. there are many people to much names of the jobs and to balance. there were five jobs coming up balance. there were five jobs coming up at roughly the same time, president of the european commission, president of the european council, the high representative, the president of the european parliament, and the president of the european central bank. all those jobs becoming president of the european central bank. all thosejobs becoming vacant at the same time, they‘ll have to be felled, all have slightly different procedures for filling them. they will have to be balanced by different factors, geography, big and small countries that joined different factors, geography, big and small countries thatjoined a long time ago and cou

the positions up for grabs is that of european commission president, which is currently held byjean claude clock ticking donald tusk says he needs more time to talk to leaders individually. a new top team needs to be in place before meps take their seats in july. in cricket, england has reignited their world cup campaign defeating india by 31 runs, at edgbaston. india still need to win one of their next two games to go through to the semi finals. there'll be much more on that story coming up in sport today in about half an hour's time. this footage is of an indian air force jet suffering engine failure shortly after take off. it's because of an apparent collision with a flock of birds. the pilot released the aircraft's fuel tanks and bomb pods in an effort to avoid a crash. he's been praised for averting a major disaster. returning to our top story, president trump has made history by becoming the first sitting us president to cross into north korea. with me is andray abrahamian from stanford university's shorenstein asia—pacific research center. thank you forjoining us. we have already ha

jean—claude juncker is on his way out.of top eu drugs but such is the power struggle going on behind closed doors behind me here, that it seems even possible they won't reach a conclusion tonight. it is tempting to think once there is a new european commission president and once there isa commission president and once there is a new prime minister installed in downing street, it will equal new opportunities for the brexit deal. but caution there because the european commission serves that member states when it comes to brexit. it is eu leaders who gave them their negotiating mandate and in november our government signed off on the brexit withdrawal agreement. what it means is the only one who has the power now to change that withdrawal agreement or to amend it are the leaders of the eu member states alone. that means all theresa may was advised not to go to berlin or to paris because the commission in brussels was negotiating, the prime minister might well be advised to go to germany, to france, to ireland before he comes
