A French junior minister, Georges Tron, has resigned amid accusations that he sexually harassed female colleagues. Mr Tron denies any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a witch-hunt. Mike Sanders reports.
Georges Tron was civil service minister and mayor of Draveil near Paris. It was in the town hall there two former colleagues alleged that he gave them foot massages to
brush up
on his reflexology, an alternative therapy. They say his hands strayed from their feet. Nonsense, he says, but he appears to have lost the confidence of President Sarkozy and the Prime Minister Francois Fillon. His lawyer had said he wouldn't resign unless they asked him to.
President Obama has been visiting the area worst affected by a violent tornado, which killed more than 130 people in the American state of Missouri. Mr Obama met survivors and was attending a memorial service in the small town of Joplin, where the tornado struck a week ago. He called the devastation "a national disaster". Local officials say 40 people are still missing. Emergency services and volunteers are still searching for survivors.
