From today’s Guardian:

The French pres­i­dent, Nico­las Sarkozy, has lived up to his tough-​talking rep­u­ta­tion in an extra­or­di­nary out­burst against two pho­tog­ra­phers while on hol­i­day in America.

A furi­ous Mr Sarkozy, sport­ing only his swim­ming trunks, leapt into a boat car­ry­ing the paparazzi and began shout­ing at them after he spot­ting them taking pic­tures of him.

Unfor­tu­nately, the president’s tirade – deliv­ered in French – was entirely lost on the pho­tog­ra­phers, nei­ther of whom could under­stand a word he was saying.
