Sudanese protest leaders are expected to unveil today a civilian council that they want to take power from the army rulers, who have resisted calls to step down despite mass demonstrations. Thousands of protesters gathered outside the army headquarters in central Khartoum ahead of the announcement, a day after the two sides pledged to hold more talks. Photograph: Ozan Kose/AFP/Getty

Descent: Young Daniella Garro (upper centre) moments before the traditional 'Descent of the Angel' in Tudela, Spain on Sunday. The ceremony, considered of National Tourist Interest, is held every year on Easter Sunday during which, a child descends 'from the skies' to the image of the Virgin covered by a black veil as a sign of mourning due to the death of Christ, the 'angel' unveils the head of the virgin. The public remains silent as the child re-enacting the angel descends from the Town Hall balcony to the image of the Virgin and says: 'Be happy Mary, because your son has resurrected!'. The public cheers and the kid unveils the head of the Virgin as a sign of joy for the resurrection of Jesus, moment in which the angel returns to the 'skies'. Photograph: Jesus Diges/EPA
