A French court has rejected an attempt by descendants of the man who founded the car-maker Renault to take back ownership of the firm.
The company was nationalised in 1945 after the death of Louis Renault, who had been accused of wartime
collaboration
with Nazi Germany.The Renault family argued that the move was unconstitutional and wanted the firm back from the French state.

A French television correspondent has become the first Western journalist to be killed in Syria since the uprising against President Assad began. The television channel France 2 said Gilles Jacquier was killed in the city of Homs. Another foreign journalist who was on the Syrian government-escorted trip told the BBC what he saw.
一名法国电视台记者成为自反总统阿萨德起义以来首位在叙利亚被杀的西方记者,法国电视台F2称Gilles Jacquier在霍姆斯市被杀,叙利亚政府护送旅行团的另一位外国记者告诉BBC他所见到的情况。
"The only thing that I could see was that grenade[s] were hitting the building where we were (in), and so the only thing we tried to do in the chaos was [to] try to get out. And I was running down, and then I saw the body of Gilles laying there. But in the next couple of minutes, you could see some other bodies. We just tried to get in a car and tried to get out of there."
