Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - Un pódcast de ABC listen - Miercoles

The French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to name a new prime minister within days — after a no-confidence vote in parliament forced Michel Barnier to resign, after a bare three months in the job. President Macron has rejected pressure from the opposition for his own resignation — saying he'll stay in the job until the end of his mandate in two years. Guest: Marta Lorimer, lecturer in politics at Cardiff University Producer: Matt Simpson and Anne Barker
