FRANCE MULLS NEW PAEDOPHILE CURBS !

Mr Sarkozy is meeting his justice, health and interior ministers. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is to hold talks with his cabinet ministers about measures to prevent paedophiles from re-offending.
There has been outrage in France over a paedophile who allegedly raped a five-year-old boy weeks after being released from a long prison sentence.
The man told police that tablets of the anti-impotence drug, Viagra, found on him were prescribed by a prison doctor.
The man was found with the boy with the help of a new nationwide alert system.
Mr Sarkozy is meeting his prime minister and the justice, health and interior ministers.
The health ministry is investigating the claims of Francis Evrard, 61, that a prison doctor prescribed Viagra to him.
Police discovered him with the five-year-old boy hours after he had been abducted, in a garage in the northern town of Roubaix on 15 August.
The government is expected to consider measures such as electronic tagging and hospital detention, says the BBC's Alasdair Sandford in Paris.
But magistrates and health professionals complain that a lack of resources means medical treatment and monitoring procedures for released offenders are not carried out effectively, says our correspondent.
