The French government is back in action after a summer break, ahead of what is predicted to be a tense autumn, with Emmanuel Macron's ruling party lacking an absolute majority in parliament to pass key legislation.
Macron will preside a council of ministers on Wednesday after a three week break at the Brégançon fort, the French presidential summer palace in the Var department, during which time France was hit with record-breaking forest fires, drought across the country and deadly storms in Corsica.
