Macron aims for new French PM 'within 48 hours'

French President Emmanuel Macron aims to name a new Prime Minister "within 48 hours", party chiefs who met him on Tuesday told AFP, after premier Michel Barnier was toppled last week.

Macron had gathered leaders of major political parties at his Elysee Palace office in a bid to thrash out the conditions for a new government that could escape losing a no-confidence vote in France's hung parliament.
