french cops. it is very much reflecting the situation at the national assembly in palm, and that is, this country is divided according to polls. the head of the road, about half of the country was in favor of hosting the government and the other half was against and saying that we only add additional instability political pay us to an already complicated situation. i'm not exactly exactly along the lines uh well of what people have been saying in the friends capital since this vate, since the last night this week, this is the logical conclusion of what brands and its law makers are at the moment . a mess you said if you think about this inventory, i think it's a good thing. and i think that they didn't respect the contract that he made with the french people at the legislative elections or not to align with the far right. and the reaping what they sewed said it's complicated. it is your boss. i don't think anybody's happy. ok only also there are 2 different parties and that's it. you know, i don't listen to you and neither do you. and neither does he only the quick but so it can never work a we d

also we saw ok in june when the french present decided unexpectedly, surprisingly 2. 6 244 elections result, the national assembly price of my call would now be faced. if this new confidence motion for 3 key would be face has happened to make a new appointment is that you could re appoint for siobhan it was that would not be done very well. you'd have much of with m p 's here. you could choose someone else would like to take weeks. it took months to appoint fornia in the 1st place to find someone who actually wanted to try a form of government in such a now front meant it's been a school landscape since those elections in june present. michael cannot hold a another round of elections until next summer, because of wasting various officers as not selections. you could choose to resign and then we would have a presidential and all demetri elections, but most people are saying that is unlike case, but of course, you cannot rule anything out. indeed. and then we just saw michelle bonnie, the following only proceedings very closely. indeed as well we natasha butler. many thanks. indeed. the philippine vice president is

the french president now looks weaker than ever as he faces the challenge of swiftly finding a new prime minister. the national assembly remains deeply divided and fresh parliamentary elections county health. before next july i spoke to paris space journalist daniel brown about the next steps. now that french law makers of ousted the prime minister, well by means a resignation is set to be founded in tomorrow morning a n i'm so my call is back to where he was up to the summer recess, trying to somehow find a science prime minister who balances between the 3 forces that are currently in the national and assembly. and we know how much fuel appears to be loves to name someone from the left wing. and that's the position the which one the popular vote in july. so legislative elections and also the extreme right wing of our ink cartridge, which seems to terminate the national assembly the past month. so it means that we're entering into a new for you to click on search and see something francis know, thinks those elections in july. so these are uninsured to 3rd, so a c or a 1st time in the 5th republic that the government is

french. cac 40 with the issues, not least the fact that emmanuel macron called an election for the national assemblyhich has proved really torturous. they have a budget deficit below 6% next year . that is a dangerous signal. the ftse with the gain up to 9% and 4% yield on the broader stock. it's been a tough year for the ftse. material stocks have been under pressure. the oil majors. let's have a look at sectors. which sectors performed the best so far? i think we can say did perform best in 2024. it's the banking sector. my goodness, me. we spoke about with ubs, it is all to play out in the sector. what are european regulators wanting from the banking sector in 2025? do they want sectors and companies to consolidate and compete with the best in the united states or are we destined to remain in the slow lane? germany is the litmus test here with unicredit comments with the economic interest and derivatives with 30% of that company? telcos. another interesting sector. some consolidation. it hasn't felt like an up 16% for many of the companies. again, it's a tough and competitive sector. it has put o

hope so, and it is indeed possible, it depends on the members of the national assembly each of whom has a responsibility to the french people, the voters of their constituency and before france too which is at a rather serious moment. tom: let's bring in bloomberg opening trade anchor kriti gupta on the ground for us in paris. macron saying the government might survive, wishful thinking, kriti? >> the odds are stacked against them but in the words of michel barnier, it is not impossible. tom, it comes down to the way parliament is broken down around this vote. french parliament is broken down into thirds at the moment. nfp, the left coalition, the right with marine le pen and national rally and emmanuel macron's party in the center. what is tricky is there could be a make or break case when it comes to the socialist party, the most interest faction when it comes to the left side of parliament. what is significant is those are the people both michel barnier and emmanuel macron targeted the last 24 hours saying these people could vote with their conscience. could potentially make or break this vote and that is where th

french republic's history. that wasn't to the taste of even the most moderate left mps in the national assembly.o appease that a bit more and probably be able to find some more leeway and common ground with that. we have seen reactions because of francois bayrou's name was there for quite some time, that some members and the many groups within that left coalition will not be very happy with this appointment. there have been many already saying we need fresh voices in french politics and he's definitely not one of them because, as i said, he's beenin them because, as i said, he's been in french politics for almost 30 years now. the groups we have been _ almost 30 years now. the groups we have been speaking _ almost 30 years now. the groups we have been speaking to, - we have been speaking to, notably the green party, this morning saying we want somebody from the left because we did so well in recent elections and that should be reflected in the choice of prime minister. and emanuel macron has not gone with that. he emanuel macron has not gone with that. ., , ., ., with that. he has not gone with

there are 100 20 lawmakers from the national rally in the assembly and probably around 2 p.m. french time and then we will find out for what they will vote but for this motion of no-confidence to to make the government collapse you also need the support of the socialists because they have lawmakers as well so if they do not support this no-confidence barnier will stay in place and what's interesting as well is that he also opened the door to perhaps the socialists rather than just discussing with marine le pen, which they said they do not want to do for anymore. perhaps this could be the way out for michel barnier. >> excellent with that exclusive. it could be a make or break week for this french government. let's bring in bloomberg's strategist and details in reaction. we got to a spread of french over german debt last week what do you expect the market reaction to be to the development we have seen out of paris over the last 48 hours? >> bond traders think it is an early christmas present. they low volatility when it's created by the bond market and what is interesting now for them

michelle bonnie: it has been very said out by the national assembly natasha butler has this report from paris a crushing defeat french prime minister michelle bonnie's wrong twin minority government collapsing often only 3 months in power after new confidence boots and from says, paula meant bonnie: i had infuriated in peace on the far right and on the left by pushing through an austerity budget. by decree, the decision he defended, plus the $50000000.00 in interest. that's what the french will have to pay every year. it's more than our budget for defense or higher education and it will be even higher tomorrow if we don't do anything. we put the food came off to hours of fiery debate, some in peace or the budget, which is poor people. the hardest for right lead to marine depend, been told back. uh so those who believe that i'm supporting the worst possible policy by backing on the confidence foot, i would say that the worst possible policy would be not to sense of such a budget, such a government, such a collapse.

it's the first time the french government has been brought down in such a vote since 1962. the leftwing bloc in the country's national assemblyine le pen�*s hard—right national rally combined to oust mr barnier after he pushed through a budget without a vote. that budget is now null and void — and a weakened president macron will have to try to find someone else to appoint. in a moment, we'll speak to our europe editor katya adler about what this turmoil in europe's second largest country means for the eu, but first, let's go live to paris and to our correspondent there andrew harding. good evening. the voting took place in the parliament building behind me just a few hours ago this evening in paris, but essentially it all began, became inevitable earlier this summer when the french people voted a parliament that was completely deadlocked, unable to agree on anything. no interest in coalition or consensus, a coalition government of sorts, a fragile one was scraped together but it looked vulnerable from the start and tonight was the moment that it fell. what happens next is unclear but it looks like france is entering a period
