FURIOUS FRENCH ROW OVER BREAK-IN !

Segolene Royal is one of President Sarkozy's fiercest critics.
Supporters of French President Nicolas Sarkozy have reacted angrily to a statement by Socialist Segolene Royal linking him to a break-in at her flat.
In a TV interview on Tuesday, Ms Royal suggested that last week's burglary was connected to her recent criticism of "the Sarkozy clan's grip on France".
PM Francois Fillon said the Socialist ex-presidential candidate was "losing her self-control" and had no proof.
A spokesman for Mr Sarkozy's UMP party said Ms Royal had "blown a fuse".
Another Sarkozy supporter, parliamentary Speaker Bernard Accoyer, said: "She will stop at nothing to get attention."
Ms Royal - who was defeated by Mr Sarkozy's in last year's presidential election - filed a complaint with police after her flat outside Paris was broken into on 27 June.
She says the intruders rummaged through her belongings, but stole nothing.
"I note that last week - just after I'd said that the Sarkozy clan's grip on France must come to an end - my home was ransacked," she told French TV on Tuesday.
"I do establish a link between the two."
