French Polynesia has yet another new President. Gaston Tong Sang was sworn in on Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after the territorial assembly passed a no-confidence motion. That vote brought down the coalition government of anti-independence leader Gaston Flosse who won the presidency in February due to an unexpected alliance with Oscar Temaru's pro-independence party. Political parties are now holding talks to decide if they will participate in Mr Tong Sang's government, which must be sworn within four days.

Presenter: Sandrine Ducrot
Speakers: Gaston Tong Sang, French Polynesia's new President; Semir Al Wardi, political analyst at the French Polynesia's University.
