New-look French government holds first meeting

Today/Monday/May 23 marks the first official working day of the new French government, with a cabinet meeting held on Monday.

It's the first meeting since the reshuffle on Friday which saw a new foreign minister appointed. Catherine Colonna is just the second woman to serve as France's diplomat-in-chief.

And Elisabeth Borne is the new prime minister - she herself is the first woman PM that France has had in 30 years.

From FSN's bureau in Paris, here's Ross Cullen.
