France is facing the possibility of having its fifth prime minister in less than two years, an economic crisis and the threat of further civil unrest as French MP's today debate a vote of no confidence in the country's current prime minister, Francois Bayrou.

Guest: Natanael Bloch, French Political analyst; former advisor to government of Nicolas Sarkozy
