France is farewelling its fifth Prime Minister in under two years as it enters a fresh political crisis. 

The country's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned just hours after appointing his new cabinet. 

His ministerial line-up has been heavily criticised by parties in the National Assembly.
