French FM bows out

France's veteran Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius bowed out of government yesterday after a three-decade career. Fabius holds the distinction of being France's youngest ever prime minister, a post he took up at 37. As foreign minister, Fabius helped to negotiate a complex climate deal, the Iran nuclear deal, as well as dealing with the thorny dossiers of the Syria conflict. He is expected to take up a position as head of France's Constitutional Court.
