Gabriel Attal
Youthful, charming and popular, who is the new French PM promising "action, action, action" as he seeks to revitalise Macron's government? Stephen Smith profiles Gabriel Attal.
Stephen Smith looks at the life of the newly appointed French prime minister.
The child of film producers, at one stage it looked like he was bound for a career in entertainment.
Instead, Gabriel Attal has become the youngest PM in modern French history and he hopes to revive President Macron's government.
One of his first tasks will be to lead the French government into the European Parliament elections in June.
