Burkini Must Be Banned, Says Nicolas Sarkozy As He Launches Presidential Election Campaign

THE TELEGRAPH: Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president, called for a full burkini ban in France on Thursday night as he warned that immigrants, minorities and the Left were threatening to destroy French identity.
