Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Paris - Agencies

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has arrived in the French capital Paris from the US. Mr Strauss-Kahn and his wife Anne Sinclair landed at Charles de Gaulle airport at 07:05 (05:05 GMT) on board an Air France flight.
They have been in New York since his arrest in May on sex assault charges, which were dropped last month.
The 62-year-old, once seen as a possible French presidential contender, denied the allegations.
Mr Strauss-Kahn, who resigned in the days after his arrest, had his passport returned last week.
Hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo, who accused Mr Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her in his hotel room, is pressing her claims in a civil lawsuit.
Second allegation
Mr Strauss-Kahn and his wife smiled and waved as they arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport, but made no comment to waiting journalists and passed rapidly through the terminal to a waiting car.
They had boarded the same scheduled Saturday night Air France flight for Paris that he was about to take when he was arrested in May, the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says.
The couple and their daughter were mobbed by photographers as they left their rented home in Manhattan on Saturday afternoon.
The case against Mr Strauss-Kahn was dropped late last month at the request of prosecutors who had concerns about Ms Diallo's credibility.
With DNA evidence indicating a sexual encounter did occur between the two in a suite at the Sofitel Hotel in May, Mr Strauss-Kahn's lawyers maintain it was consensual and prosecutors were unable to determine whether force had been used.
The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that friends of Mr Strauss-Kahn say that he does, at some point, intend to explain what happened.
Mr Strauss-Kahn faces another sexual assault allegation in France, after novelist Tristane Banon accused him of trying to rape her during an interview in 2002.
Ms Banon made the allegation after the Diallo case, saying that she feared no-one would have believed her beforehand.
The former IMF chief had been considered the Socialist Party's front-runner to take on French President Nicolas Sarkozy in presidential elections next year.
But analysts say the allegations against him, and other details that have emerged about his wealth, have undermined his credibility.
