French PM Sebastien Lecornu resigns after just 26 days in office
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned after just 26 days in office, making him the fifth French premier in under two years. The Elysee Palace made the announcement after Mr Lecornu met with President Emmanuel Macron. MPs had threatened to vote down Mr Lecornu's Cabinet, which was largely unchanged from his predecessor Francois Bayrou's. Mr Lecornu said the lack of support from parliament meant that he would not be able to do his job. Ross Cullen reports from Paris.
