brussels but this time leaders have to come up with names that they can present to the new european parliament when it convenes this week. and it will be a long night too for a correspondent you're gratis who is at the european council in brussels i know the negotiations are closed door but are you hearing anything. well what we've heard so far is that the high hopes at the beginning of the night that the so-called sushi deal that came back with leaders from japan particularly from the german chancellor angela merkel and the french president the idea of the sushi deal being that from still a month the social democrats from the netherlands could become the at the top job at the head of the european commission where response rate veba the conservative could become the head of the european parliament and now that idea was met with a lot of critique from the conservatives here in brussels just before the summit started they thought the idea a little bit fishy because they are in the parliament the strongest force and so we're back at square one and leaders are now looking for a solution to that to

chips on the table because another 4 top jobs the head of the european council head of the european parliament the foreign political chief of the european union something like a foreign minister and the head of reed the european central bank are also to be appointed and those jobs could then be allocated so we have to wait for the entire package at the end of the day he will need to franco german deal in order to sort this one out. mathis in brussels thank you. now iran says that it is quote ready for war after shooting down a u.s. spy drone tehran said that the u.s. had crossed a red line by sending the drone into iranian airspace the u.s. has denounced the incident as an unprovoked attack it says that the drone was in international airspace the incident comes at a time of heightened tension between washington and tehran. the shooting down of the u.s. drone was announced on iranian state television they did not immediately broadcast any pictures of the attack but showed instead a file image of the type of drawing they said had been hit by an unmanned surveillance act craft he used the gatheri

a problem of the top sure enough now aim should be to get this resolved by the time the new european parliament moves in parliament to do so that we can get to work straight away that means we still have a few days left on target side. so georg i mean we heard it there can there be a compromise of course or a compromise could be a candidate someone like michelle dunne yea you know who is not been running an official campaign who is a frenchman so that would be good for me for the man in my car the french president who's a conservative which would be good for center right german chancellor angela merkel but of course the problem is he's not a lead candidate and that is a problem for the european parliament which at the end of the day will have to vote will have to confirm a candidate that that is being chosen by a summit here in brussels and so it's a real. is the number of bargaining chips on the table because another 4 top jobs the head of the european council head of the european parliament the foreign political chief of the european union something like a foreign minister and the head of ree

president of the next european parliament but the greens have gained a lot of influence in the us european in this election because especially in germany they gained a lot of votes and she was very quiet indeed in that interview with you now the new european parliament starts that work on july 2nd when can we expect any decisions. that is indeed a very important date because that is the date that the parliament we just talked about might elect its president and if they do without a complete full package being in place it would be very hard to figure out the rest of the package for example president of the european union commission or president of the european central bank just to name some of the few and that's why the leaders that are here today really want to find a solution before that 2nd of july and that's why we're hearing if they can't find a solution tonight which is not impossible but not very likely they might summon a special summit on the 1st of july right here again current then will be continue with you again i'm max entrepreneur thank you so much for your continued coverage.

will convene and presumably also elect its president so the president of the european parliament is important why because he's part of the whole package we're not only talking about the european commission president here tonight but a total of 5 jobs i'm not going to name them all because it might take a little long but the president of the european parliament is one of them and if the parliament elects that president without all of the other posts of that package being in place this will cause a lot of trouble going down the world that's what the leaders want to avoid at all costs they want to have their plan in place before this 1st domino the president of the european parliament falls busy into place and die it's why it's likely that if they don't find a solution tonight there will be another summit and people here are talking about a 1st of july the 1st of july and the german chancellor. coming into the summit here told us how difficult she thought it would be to find a solution already today here in brussels even though it's often the move on a list host and we'll be having an o

be the sitting in the way things stand the talks are going to be easy to put it mildly the european parliament or at least 2 of its political groups are committed to the principle of selecting one of their candidates so i think it's going to take a while though and that's the focus so it looks like another long night in brussels but this time leaders have to come up with names that they can present to the new european parliament when it convenes this week. in turkey police have used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up a rally by l. g.b.t. people marking an annual gay pride day in istanbul gay rights groups and activists had defied an official ban on the event to gather in the city the pride of and has been banned in turkey since 2014 when 100000 people took part in the march the turkish government outlawed pride describing the l g b t community as objectionable to society. for more on that i'm joined by the correspondent dorian jones dorian you were at the pride gathering today was there hope that police would not break up the march. indeed there was such hope since a short fic tree last s

president of the european parliament is more like the speaker oi’ parliament is more like the speakerr but also kind of not like the eu foreign minister. and the president of the european central bank who is usually a european central banker and will be in office for eight years. all five jobs are being treated as one package which has to be divided up by geography, north, south, east and west. politics, so the right, the left, the liberals and the greens. by gender and between bigger countries than smaller ones. it is all a big old mix of politics and power and personality. watch out for the italians, the luxembourg is and the belgians who historically have proved to be very good at playing it. millions of people have descended on the streets of new york this weekend as part of a series of events to celebrate the city's annual lgbt pride. it follows the 50th anniversary of the iconic stonewall riots earlier this week, seen by many as the start of the international gay rights movement. our lgbt correspondent ben hunte reports. it is a weekend like no other. an estimated four million p

european union so you have a number of including you know the president of the european council president of the parliament head of the european central bank and so you have a couple of bargaining chips on the tables that leaders tonight over dinner will shift around and then we'll have to see what they come up with garrick matus in brussels thank you. well now you're watching news still to come on the program scotland are out of the women's world cup after their opponents argentina now today are growing and a controversial comeback. but 1st india is in the grip of a deadly heat wave with temperatures soaring in many parts of the country the monitors have hit 40 degrees celsius for 32 days now and the state of bihar has been hit especially hard more than 180 people have died as a result of the hate and in the capital delhi the temperatures are so high that officials have warned people not to leave their homes until those temperatures fall . even for india's dry season this is historic the capital delhi baking under record high temperatures raised and looking to the heavens for help. but i never experienced

and they don't wa nt european parliament and they don't want the parliament seizing the initiative fromirst thing the parliament will do on the 2nd ofjuly is elect a new president and that might seem sensible, getting one of the jobs out of the way but that if you allocate one of thejobs it way but that if you allocate one of the jobs it leaves you less room for manoeuvre and one less job to give to somebody when playing the chess game and in terms of theresa may, she isn't here for the last day of the summit visits for countries that use the euro zone and one to have a discussion about the future of the eurozone, so it is the 27 but theresa may had a one—on—one meeting with angela merkel and she popped into the office known as the uk permanent representation to the eu, which is the british diplomats who represent the uk position in brussels and then the 27 leaders are talking about the future of the eurozone and will have a five minute discussion about brexit at the very end at lunchtime and we think it will be a generic statement from donald tusk and jean—claude juncker about preparin

to the european parliament who then votes on it and if they get through well they become european council president however if they don't the system starts over again and it's coming in it's a system that's come in for some real serious criticism. and it's really been the most step prominent voice who spoken out against the spits and candidate system he has backed michel barnier the former i guess we can say former now chief of briggs that negotiations. yes well he's back to him he said that the current system doesn't allow candidates to come through from smaller parties interestingly enough of course mr representing and marché they are a much smaller party in the european the european parliament. merkel here in germany she bucked a man for it verba which is understandable the european people's bodies linked to her christian democratic and social busy christian social union here in germany so she supported them however what we heard from mr mccollum was this he would have actually supported i'm going to merkel if she'd gone for the position of european commission president i have nothing

will be appointed by the european council maybe even today will have to pass a vote in the european parliament and so that is where the parties then will have to give their support to that kind of how likely game that we could see a compromise in any sort of timely matter i mean each side seem to have dug in their heels here. a compromise will be really tricky here because a german chancellor angela merkel emphasized again that she is in favor of a lead candidate system that means only those people qualify for head of the european commission who have run the can paint for the parties in the european parliament now friend french president by car arrived today he said he doesn't like that process at all and he'd like to see as someone else now a potential compromise candidate could of course be michele dunne you the chief rex of negotiator who is a you is a conservative and so someone who politically could work for angela merkel but of course the problem is he's not a lead candidate he hasn't run yes been running a quite campaign behind the scenes but he hasn't officially run for a party in the

started the process this year whereby they would like to see a lead candidate from the european parliament elections someone who has been running the can paint for the european elections which may but it is to see that person being selected for the top job in the european commission and that is a process that the french president rejects he'd rather like to see the states the people who are running the democratically elected representatives in brussels electing a candidate and he could see for instance someone who has not been the lead candidate michele dunne is so far the chief negotiator to become the future commission president he would be from the center right so he's something someone politically and glum actually could support so it'll be really interesting to see how leaders will work that out at the end of the day if you will need a german french agreement in order to solve this problem ok we'll see if that agreement is reached in brussels beginning with the summit today garrick thanks so very much for that. it's to india now that country is in the grip of a deadly heat wave with t

eu leaders come up with a name, then the nominee has to be approved by a majority of the european parliamentring the european elections and came from one of europe's political families. someone like manfred weber, who leads the centre right in the european parliament. 0r frans timmermans, the dutch vice president, who represents the centre left. 0r margrethe vestager, the competition commissioner from denmark who represented the liberals but parliament can't settle on anyone. neither can the leaders and it has become a bit of a power struggle between them. so it could end up being a compromise candidate like michel barnier or someone from the world bank. 0r somebody that no one has mentioned. president of the european parliament is more like the speaker or the chair. president of the european parliament is more like the speaker or the chair. the high representative who is kind of like the eu foreign minister but also kind of not like the eu foreign minister. and the president of the european central bank who is usually a european central banker and will be in office for eight years. all five

as promised, right wing nationalist parties are forming a new political bloc in the european parliamentart, matteo salvini's league party in italy. we knew this was coming. this was a rally in milan i attended just before the european elections last month. more than 10 nationalist and far right partiesjoined mr salvini on stage. they all share a scepticism about the eu and want to reform it — they also want greater controls on immigration and to protect what they called europe's christian values. note though despite their scepticism, none want to leave the eu. but they don't agree on everything. on government spending and russia for example, there are many differences. now, this new bloc will have 73 members of parliament from 9 eu countries — and it'll make up around 10% of the european parliament — that makes it the fifth largest bloc. this is its leader. translation: it's true we have not been able to fund this life script for various reasons, there is a question at brexit which is not settled and that's weighed heavily. it's not a defeat, it's a starting point and it's not a defeat,

so by the political parties in the european parliament and that's why party politics come it comes into it as well if you look at last time around it was jungle junker he was voted in in the european council by member states 26 against 2 at the time it was the u.k. and hungry not voting for him but then he had strong support in the european parliament this time around things are a lot more tricky garrett matters in brussels thank you. to the woman's world cup now and it was a nightmare end to the competition for scotland they enjoyed a comfortable lead over argentina but threw it away in the final 20 minutes of the game it means that the scots are heading home while argentina still have a slim chance of progressing to the knockout stage here's what's happened 3. scotland didn't waste time taking the lead with kim little setting the tone with their 20th minute strike. scotland seemed to have things wrapped up at 3 mill thanks to an aaron custard volley in the 69th minute scotland well on their way to their 1st ever knockout round appearance in a major football tournament. but argentina r

the european parliament even if even if 100 percent of seats were to go by and by john get that that's untenable in the long term isn't it i mean that mean that is meaning that you actually genuflect to a democracy deficit instead of ignoring it you're genuflecting in front of it that is not a long term solution to europe's problems go ahead john you know. europe europe's problems are extremely serious and we see this is what i was going to say we see this in this election and in the fallout from the election particular of course in britain the fallout from bracks it what we see is what the great franco russian political philosopher alexander koshare have predicted he predicted that in a society in which there would be no more values no more traditional values that the only thing he said that would hold society together anymore was snobbery move and a city that wrecks it. some place hatred of the people risk hatred of the people who dared to vote against. you know a system of free lunches for the elite that has brought out people's fury and anger and their very clear anti democratic in
