France has a new Prime Minister, ending the country's months long political limbo.

President Emmanuel Macron has named conservative Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister.

It comes two months after a snap election ended with a political stalemate.

Europe Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge that Barnier was the EU's former chief Brexit negotiator.

He says they'll see whether it gets France going again after the truce they've had through the Olympics.
