00:00The new French Prime Minister, only been in office since the 9th of September,
00:05Sébastien Lacornu, has tendered his resignation.
00:09He has contacted the French President Emmanuel Macron,
00:12tendering his resignation after just that short period in office.
00:17It has been accepted by President Macron, of course,
00:22because the political crisis in France seems to be deepening now.
00:25It has affected the markets. The euro is down on this news.
00:30He has resigned. It's not clear as to why he has resigned,
00:33but the French far-right, the National Rally's leader, Sébastien Bardella,
00:39says that the new government had no understanding of the country
00:42and they are now closer, they say, to voting this government out.
