.The little white dog belonging to former French president Jacques Chirac underwent treatment for depression after leaving the Elysee palace and bit his master three times before being sent off to a farm.
Mr Chirac’s wife, Bernadette, has told Le Parisien newspaper that Sumo, a maltese bichon, apparently could not cope with life in a spacious Paris apartment.
Sumo was sent to a farm owned by a family friend outside Paris and since has never showed any aggression.
The dog bit Mr Chirac’s leg twice and despite undergoing treatment with anti-depressants, Sumo made a third attempt a few months ago, this time attacking the 76-year-old ex-president in the chest.
.From Caen to Dieppe, Monet to Pisarro and Debussy to Ravel, the Normandy region that nurtured the French impressionists plans to fete the movement in what it says will be the country’s biggest event of 2010.
With exhibitions, concerts, films and picnics on row boats, the first Impressionist Festival from June to September 2010 will offer dozens of events related to the art movement, organisers say.
“Normandy is impressionist, and impressionism is very much from Normandy,” said former left-wing prime minister Laurent Fabius, who is an MP for the region.
There will be concerts of works by Debussy and Ravel, readings from Marcel Proust and dancing, picnics and cruises on the Seine river that featured through much of the work.
Among the dozens of art exhibitions planned, the biggest will gather 100 works from collections worldwide at the Rouen art museum including Monet, Pissarro and Gauguin.
.French politicians want to stamp a “health warning” on photographs of models that are altered in order to make them more appealing – part of a campaign against eating disorders.
French parliamentarian Valerie Boyer, a member of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s UMP party, and some 50 other politicians have proposed the law to fight what they see as a warped image of women’s bodies in the media.
Under the proposed law, all enhanced photos would be accompanied by a line saying: “Photograph retouched to modify the physical appearance of a person.
“These images can make people believe in a reality that often does not exist,” Ms Boyer said in a statement, adding that the law should apply to press photographs, political campaigns, art photography and images on packaging as well as advertisements.
Luxury brands and fashion magazines have also been accused of digitally making models look thinner, enhancing their breasts, whitening teeth, lengthening legs and erasing wrinkles.”
Digitally enhanced photographs have been at the centre of a string of scandals in France – most recently Paris Match was caught out after having altered a photo of Mr Sarkozy to remove chubby love handles.
Breaking the law would be punished with a fine of 37,500 euros ($63,700), or up to 50 per cent of the cost of the advertisement.
Ms Boyer says being confronted with unrealistic standards of female beauty could lead to various kinds of psychological problems, in particular eating disorders.

AFP – Former French prime minister Dominique de Villepin goes on trial Monday for allegedly plotting a smear campaign against President Nicolas Sarkozy in France’s most politically-charged case in years.
Dubbed the trial of the decade, the judicial drama features a cast of powerful players in politics, industry and intelligence circles, beginning with Sarkozy, who is a civil plaintiff in the case.

A suave diplomat best remembered for leading the charge against the Iraq war at the United Nations, Villepin is accused of conspiring to slander Sarkozy at a time when the pair were waging a vicious battle to succeed Jacques Chirac as president.
One name on the bogus list was that of Sarkozy, then Chirac’s ambitious finance and interior minister, who suspects the president’s chosen heir Villepin of using the list to try to torpedo his bid for the presidency.
The case dates back to 2004 and centres on a list — later proved to have been fabricated — of account holders at the Clearstream financial clearing house who allegedly received kickbacks from the sale of French frigates to Taiwan.
The trial is shaping up as a showdown between the two men, whose mutual hatred is legendary in French political circles.
Villepin, 55, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and maintains that the case would have never gone to trial had it not been for Sarkozy’s meddling in the judicial process.
But it will also cast light on the murky dealings of French intelligence and of one of the world’s top aerospace companies, EADS.
Also on trial are management consultant Florian Bourges, accused of stealing Clearstream documents, and journalist Denis Robert, who broke the story.
A former EADS vice president and Villepin ally, Jean-Louis Gergorin is also on trial as is the former head of an EADS research center, Imad Lahoud, who has reportedly confessed to falsifying the list.
In the weeks leading up to the trial, Villepin has waged a media offensive, accusing Sarkozy of being a bit twisted for insisting that the Clearstream affair was a plot to sabotage his bid for the presidency.
Villepin faces up to five years in jail and a 45,000-euro (66,000-dollar) fine if convicted of complicity in slander, complicity in the use of forgeries, dealing in stolen property and breach of trust.
Some day, he will have to explain his relentlessness, Villepin said last week.
Sarkozy reportedly vowed to hang up whoever did this on a butcher’s hook. This is not without consequences for the office of president, on the human and political level. This is not without consequences for the office of president, on the human and political level. .
General Philippe Rondot, a former intelligence official whose notes — seized by investigators — detail secret meetings that appear to incriminate Villepin, is to testify in early October.
This is the trial of an era, said Robert, the investigative journalist among the five defendants.
Villepin himself is expected to take the stand next week, defending himself in the exact Paris courtroom where Marie Antoinette was sentenced to the guillotine in 1793.
We see that inside domestic intelligence circles there was a rift between those who were loyal to Villepin and those who were close to Sarkozy, he told AFP.
It is the trial of a kind of French political practice, where spooks and the powers that be use the legal system as a political tool.
The hearings at the Paris criminal court are scheduled to run until October 23.
Villepin’s trial comes five years after another prime minister, Alain Juppe, was convicted of corruption in an illegal party financing scheme and given a 14-month suspended sentence and a one-year ban on holding public office.

» Hosni is opposed to the barbaric acts perpetrated by Israel, not to the Israeli people who want to live in peace with their neighbours – Ahmed Gamal el-Din Mohammed, communications worker, Cairo
Reuters – Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni, who said last year he would burn Israeli books, won a comfortable lead in the first round of voting in UNESCO election of a new director-general on Thursday.
Hosni bid for the United Nations culture agency top post has stirred a political storm, with accusations of anti-Semitism and press censorship in Egypt.
With 22 votes out of 57 expressed, he did not carry the majority needed to win in the first round so voting will go to a second round on Friday.
The Bulgarian candidate Irina Gueorguieva Bokova finished second with eight votes. There was one abstention.
All nine candidates are allowed to run in the second, third and fourth rounds but if it goes to a fifth round there must only be two. Austrian EU Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, and the Russian and Ecuadorean candidates got seven votes each.
There is no clear cut candidate tonight so there will be a second round tomorrow, said UNESCO spokeswoman Sue Williams.
Apology
If we don&rsquot bring in the Muslim world, it will be understood as a signal against them, and that will be difficult for us, Sishir Das, a member of the Malaysian delegation, told Reuters in the UNESCO foyer.
Earlier on Thursday at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, backers hailed Hosni as a man of peace who would improve ties with Muslim countries.
Asked last year about Israeli books in Egyptian libraries, Hosni was quoted as telling a member of parliament: Let burn these books if there are any, I will burn them myself before you. He has never been controversial, he has always been considered a man of peace.
Other activists have since piled into the row, accusing Hosni of colluding in censorship and violation of press freedom in Egypt, and pressuring UNESCO members not to vote for him.
Hosni this year apologised for the comment and some prominent activists such as French Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld have accepted his regrets and supported him.
Hosni is culture minister in a country that doesn&rsquot respect freedom of speech, Jean-Francois Julliard, secretary-general of media watchdog Reporters Without Borders, told Reuters.

The United States is reportedly working behind the scenes to prevent Hosni from winning the vote. Other European countries such as Germany have refrained from taking sides. .
A painter who has served as culture minister for two decades, Hosni was long viewed as a front-runner.
