France political crisis: Fifth Prime Minister in two years

The Agenda

28:32

It's been a tough week for French President Emmanuel Macron, having to appoint a fifth Prime Minister in less than two years.

Former defense minister Sebastien Lecornu takes over with the French economy in crisis, with debt levels spiralling out of control. So is there any chance he can succeed in turning around French finances where so many others have failed?

Joining Juliet Mann on The Agenda this week are Douglas Yates, Professor of International Relations at the American Graduate School in Paris; Paul Taylor, senior visiting fellow at the European Policy Centre; and Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer in Economics at Lancaster University.
