00:00French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to name a new prime minister within 48 hours
00:06as the country faces one of its most serious political crises in decades.
00:11The announcement follows the resignation of Sébastien Lecornu on Monday,
00:15just hours after unveiling his cabinet,
00:18making his administration the shortest lift in modern French history.
00:25Lecornu said the chance of dissolving parliament is fading
00:28after two days of talks with political parties.
00:31At Macron's request, he met with leaders from the centre-left to the centre-right.
00:36Most lawmakers oppose fresh elections but agree the national budget must be passed by the end of the year.
00:42Lecornu warned, however, that forming a new government remains complicated,
00:46with deep divisions in parliament and politicians already eyeing the next presidential race.
00:52Pressure on Macron continues to grow across the political spectrum.
00:55France's political deadlock began after snap elections in July 2024,
01:01leaving no party with a majority and making it hard to pass laws, including the budget.
01:06Far-right leader Marine Le Pen refused to join the talks.
01:10She vowed to block all government initiatives and renewed her call for snap elections,
01:14saying the situation has become untenable.
01:16All right.
01:19All right.

01:22seeing how you okay who can't stay in theural offense,
01:24saying the hand interests price outside of any Sprint right now.

01:35There's taller than there.
01:37There's a bunch of people where you are not being able to respond.
01:39There's a bunch of women going forward at exploring.

01:42but it's simply to appreciate your minds.
