Good morning! First up, French President Nicolas Sarkozy's supermodel wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has given birth to a daughter. "For the moment we don't know the little girl's name," a source in the first lady's inner circle confirmed to AFP, as the world's media gathered near the La Muette clinic in Paris and Sarkozy returned from talks on the future of the eurozone in Frankfurt.

Sarkozy arrived at the clinic shortly before 11:00 pm (local time), just over three hours after the birth. "It happened between 7:00 and 7:30 pm. Everything went well," a second source told AFP.

The staff at the clinic hasbeen reminded of the strict duty of medical  confidentiality, and Sarkozy's office was silent.
