More Than 250 People Arrested in French Anti-Government Protests
----------------------------------------------------------------

In France, more than 250 people have been arrested in nationwide
demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron and his economic
policies. On Tuesday, Macron tapped his close ally Sébastien Lecornu to
be the new prime minister - he is France's fifth PM in two years. His
predecessor, François Bayrou, resigned as prime minister after losing a
no-confidence vote.
