Ads off

France's National Assembly has voted to back Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to remove advertising from "state" tv channels. From January France2 and France3 will carry no ads after 8pm at night. All ads go by the end of 2011.

But the debate was a grumpy Friday session, with only 48 out of 477 there to decide the issue. One comment on the Le Monde website: "Now let's have a ban on 'publicite' for Mr and Mrs Sarkozy".
