Bruni-Sarkozy gives birth to baby daughter

FRENCH First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy last night gave birth to a daughter — her first child with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Massive crowds had gathered behind a security cordon outside the La Muette clinic in Paris ahead of the arrival.

The baby girl, whose name is unknown, is the first child born to a ruling French leader since Napoleon. Bruni-Sarkozy has a boy from a previous relationship, while Sarkozy also has three sons.
