Belgium’s prime minister, Charles Michel, has announced his resignation after socialists and greens tabled a motion of no confidence in his minority government.

Michel relaunched his government a week ago as a minority administration after the Flemish N-VA, the biggest party in his coalition, quit in a dispute over signing the UN migration pact.

In an address to parliament on Tuesday, he said he would offer his resignation to the king.
