US intelligence chief James Clapper has denied reports that US spies recorded data from 70 million phone calls in France in a single 30-day period.

美国情报负责人詹姆斯·克拉珀否认了美国特工在30天时间内监控法国七千万电话记录的报道。
 
The director of national intelligence said the report in Le Monde newspaper contained "misleading information".
 
In a separate story, the newspaper said the US bugged1 French diplomats2 and used the information to sway a key UN vote.
 
Both reports were based on leaks from fugitive3 ex-US intelligence worker Edward Snowden.
 
"Recent articles published in the French newspaper Le Monde contain inaccurate4 and misleading information regarding US foreign intelligence activities," Mr Clapper said in a statement released on Tuesday.
 
"The allegation that the National Security Agency collected more than 70 million 'recordings5 of French citizens' telephone data' is false."
 
Mr Clapper said he would not discuss details of surveillance activities, but acknowledged "the United States gathers intelligence of the type gathered by all nations".
 
Iran sanctions
 
His statement did not mention the second set of allegations about the National Security Agency (NSA) programmes that allegedly monitored French diplomats in Washington and at the UN.
 
The paper laid out how US spies used computer bugs7 and phone-tapping techniques to monitor French diplomats at the UN and in Washington.
 
Those claims were first carried in the German magazine Der Spiegel and the Washington Post in early September.
 
But Le Monde's story gives details of how the intelligence gathered from French diplomats was used.
 
It quotes a document issued by a directorate of the NSA as stating that the data helped the US sway a Security Council vote on a resolution imposing8 new sanctions on Iran on 9 June 2010.
 
The US had apparently9 feared losing the vote, and needed French support.
 
The document quotes America's former UN envoy10 Susan Rice as saying the NSA's information helped the US "keep one step ahead in the negotiations11".
 
On Monday, Le Monde alleged6 that the NSA spied on 70.3 million phone calls in France between 10 December 2012 and 8 January 2013.
 
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he had asked for a full explanation of those claims from US Secretary of State John Kerry.
