French President Hollande Berates US Over Spying Claims -- BBC
French President Francois Hollande has expressed "deep disapproval" over claims the US National Security Agency secretly tapped phone calls in France.
In a phone conversation with US President Barack Obama, he said this was "unacceptable between friends and allies", demanding an explanation.
The White House said the claims "raise legitimate questions".
The NSA spied on 70.3 million phone calls in France between 10 December 2012 and 8 January 2013, it is claimed.
Officials, businesses and terror suspects are among those believed to have been tracked.
The allegations were carried in France's Le Monde newspaper and are based on leaks from US ex-intelligence analyst Edward Snowden.
