Eurovision song sparks French row

A French MP has said he is outraged that the song chosen to represent the nation in the Eurovision song contest has English lyrics. Jacques Myard, of the UMP party, has urged the company that runs most of France's TV networks to reconsider.

Sebastien Tellier's entry, entitled Divine, combines both English and French lyrics with electro music.

France's culture minister has defended the song, saying the country should fully support his bid for victory. A total of 43 countries are taking part in a contest that draws some 200 million viewers from Europe and beyond. "Sebastien Tellier has great talent, he has a real international dimension," Christine Albanel told Agence France Presse.

Eurotunnel shows profit

Wow! Believe it or not, Eurotunnel has reported its first annual profit, boosted by its huge programme of debt restructuring.

The company that runs the tunnel between Britain and France reported a net profit of 1m Euros in the whole of 2007. That included a 3.3m euro exceptional profit from its capital restructuring.

The company has struggled with its debt levels since the tunnel was opened in 1994, but it finally reached agreement with its creditors last year. "The year 2007 proves that the new Eurotunnel group has broken with its past," the company said in a statement.
