PHONE-IN
Gabriel Attal has been named France's next prime minister, as Emmanuel Macron aims to revive his presidency with a new government.
At 34, he is the youngest PM in modern French history, outranking even Socialist Laurent Fabius who was 37 when he was appointed by François Mitterrand in 1984. Mr Attal replaces Élisabeth Borne, 62, who resigned after 20 months in office.
Even since his time campaigning for office, US President Joe Biden has defused concerns about his age with humour. Biden, 81, is currently running for a second term.
