The French prime minister has resorted to a rarely used emergency procedure to push through labour market reforms without a parliamentary vote.

Manuel Valls faced opposition from some MPs in his own Socialist Party, as well as Green MPs over the reforms.

The Socialists have a majority, but now face a confidence vote on Thursday. The reforms will be adopted automatically if the government wins the vote.

The plan is to scrap barriers in law firms and extend shop opening hours.
