A seven-year-old British boy has died in a skiing accident in the French Alps.
The child, who had been on a family holiday in the resort of Flaine in the Haute Savoie region, went over a cliff after straying off piste, emergency services told news agency AFP.
Some reports suggested the boy got lost after attempting the final descent of the day on his own.

Others said he got separated from the group after taking a wrong turn, while skiing with the rest of the group.
An emergency services spokesman said: "He hit a rocky outcrop, then fell 50 to 100 metres (160ft to 320ft)."
His desperate mother raised the alarm at 7pm on Friday, said reports.
The child's body was found by a rescue helicopter, about two hours after the fall, according to reports in French media.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Flaine, France, on April 10.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
An investigation by French authorities is under way.
Ed Miliband has hit out at David Cameron's pledge to pump an extra £8bn a year into the NHS by 2020, warning the PM: "You can't fund the NHS on an IOU."
The Labour leader was speaking after the Prime Minister pledged to protect the NHS by meeting its funding needs "in full".
Mr Cameron has promised to fund the five-year reform plan put forward by NHS chief executive Simon Stevens by providing at least an extra £8bn a year for the health service by 2020.

This will mean that over-75s will be guaranteed same-day access to GPs, patients will be able to see doctors out of regular office hours and the NHS will provide a full range of services seven days a week, according to Mr Cameron.

But Mr Miliband said: "We've seen five years of failure and broken promises from David Cameron on the NHS."
He added: "The truth is - you can't save the NHS if you don't know where the money is coming from.
"You can only damage the NHS when you are planning colossal cuts in public spending year after year after year, which is what this Tory government is planning.
"The choice is clear: a funded Labour plan for more doctors, nurses and midwives - or unfunded promises from a Tory party that has a record of breaking its word."
Labour has published a mini-manifesto on the NHS, which includes a new right to a dedicated midwife before and after childbirth.

Mr Miliband said this would be made possible by recruiting 3,000 extra midwives.
The party has already committed to providing an extra £2.5bn of health spending on top of the budgets provided by the Government to pay for more doctors, nurses and other health workers.
This would be paid for through taxes on expensive properties and tobacco companies and a crackdown on tax avoidance, the party claims.
In an effort to keep the pressure on Mr Cameron and the Tories about how they would fund the pledge, Labour tweeted a video of an exchange at Prime Minister's Questions earlier this year in which Mr Cameron said the "real risk" to the NHS was "unfunded spending commitments".
When pressed by Sky's Anushka Asthana on how the Conservatives would fund the plan Mr Cameron did not go into specifics, but he said the pledge was possible "because we have a strong economy and because we have taken the long-term decisions necessary to put the NHS first".

He said: "I want an NHS that continues to expand and improve and provide great care, that continues to save lives.
"It's always been there for me and my family and I want it there for everyone's families."
Mr Miliband was pressed to say if he would commit his party to matching the £8bn pledge, but he declined.
Conservative Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Labour would put the future of the health service "at risk" because it would not match Tory funding commitments or their long-term economic plan.
Sky's Health Correspondent Thomas Moore said the Conservative commitment to fund the NHS is no more or less unfunded than Labour's.

He said: "The Tories are banking on growing tax receipts by the Treasury as wages rise with the recovery. No guarantees there.
"Labour is banking on a mansion tax (verified £1.2bn), a tobacco tax (no details yet) and a crackdown on tax avoidance (always difficult to guarantee because the rich employ clever accountants."
Funding of the health service has emerged as one of the key issues of the campaign.
Mr Stevens predicted in a report in October that, if health spending rose only at the rate of inflation, growing demand for care would leave the NHS in England with a £30bn funding gap by 2020.
He said around £22bn of that could be met through "efficiencies", but the remainder would have to come from government funds.

The driver of a stolen ambulance has been killed after the vehicle crashed into a double-decker bus near York.
The person driving the ambulance - who police believe was not a paramedic or a member of ambulance staff - was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the bus and five of its 16 passengers were taken to hospital after the collision on the A64, near the Flaxton junction, about 8.30pm.
The accident happened on the A64 near Flaxton
Their injuries were not life-threatening.
Another person, travelling in a Toyota Yaris with one other, was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The A64 has now reopened, North Yorkshire police said.
Traffic sergeant Ian Pope said that police had been looking for the stolen vehicle for 20 minutes when they were notified of the collision.
The search began at 8.10pm on Friday when the ambulance, which was privately owned and did not belong to Yorkshire Ambulance Service, was reported stolen.
Police have urged anyone who witnessed the crash or saw either of the vehicles beforehand to contact police and quote reference number 556 of 10 April.
Police have released CCTV pictures of a van and three suspects wanted in connection with the Hatton Garden jewel heist.
Scotland Yard described the men as "highly audacious" and said they entered the building in London's jewellery quarter twice over Easter.
The images were released after footage reportedly showing the gang raiding the safety deposit boxes was published by the Daily Mirror.
A view through a grated gate at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company
The 17-minute video purportedly shows at least six men arriving at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company's building on Good Friday.
The Daily Mirror, which obtained the footage, reported that the group made two separate visits before leaving in a white van on Easter Sunday with the contents of 72 safety deposit boxes in wheelie bins and bags.
Video:Given Grade Which Meant No Action
Scotland Yard is examining the footage, and has insisted it was already aware of the video before it was published by the newspaper.
The spokesman added the force had "not made any links" between the heist and an underground fire in the Holborn area which caused widespread power outages and road closures.
Detective chief inspector Paul Johnson said the images released on Saturday showed the suspects accessed the premises using a side door.
He said: "They were highly audacious entering on two occasions over that weekend, firstly on Thursday, 2 April at 20.19 before leaving the following morning at approximately 08.12.
"They then returned over a day later on Saturday, 4 April at approximately 22.17 before leaving the following morning at approximately 06.44.
Video:Ex-Detective On Jewel Heist
"This footage, along with other material, was already recovered by police at the earliest opportunity, and continues to be evaluated to capture the precise movements of the suspects."
DCI Johnson said officers were continuing to collect CCTV from the area where the raid took place, and appealed for nearby businesses and anyone else in possession of footage to make contact.
Police are also continuing to investigate why a call from a security firm about the alarm was graded in a way that meant officers did not consider it worthy of a response.
It was not until Tuesday morning that the raid - one of Britain's biggest - was discovered.
The Daily Mirror footage is from a camera that centres on a doorway, with an adjacent intercom, at the bottom of a set of stairs that leads to the street.
Video:Jewel Heist Drilling Explained
A number of men appear wearing high-visibility jackets, hard hats, gloves and dust masks, and carrying orange tool boxes and holdalls.
Others in the group are dressed in blue overalls and gloves.
Three men with their faces covered are seen taking wheelie bins in and out of the building.
A white van is seen pulling up shortly before 7am on Sunday, the newspaper reported, and once the bins and bags are loaded into it, the group get in and drive away.
Police have insisted it is too early to say if the handling of the call about the alert would have had an impact on the outcome.

But the revelations have led to anger from potential victims, who spoke of their shock that the police "just weren't there".
The police could face compensation claims running into millions because officers failed to respond to the alarm, it has also been claimed.
Oxford have beaten Cambridge to win the women's Boat Race, the first to take place on the same course and the same day as the men's race.
Taking control from the start at Putney on the Thames, Oxford's eight quickly moved a boat's length clear and never faltered during the 6,800-metre slog to Chiswick Bridge.
They finished 19 seconds ahead of their rivals.
The women's race has been held since 1927 further up river at Henley, but after years of campaigning for equal billing they were finally given equality with the men.
It was sporting history for rowing and was described as "hugely significant" by Sarah Winckless, Olympic bronze medallist and former world champion.
Speaking ahead of the Putney to Mortlake race, she said: "It's an amazing opportunity for these women.
"They can stand side by side with men. We've seen it, in the London Olympics 2012 when the women came home with the gold medals we've been hoping for."
What's made this year's race possible was not a sudden increase in female interest, strength or ability. Rewind almost 90 years and you'll see women rowing with passion.
Oxbridge female rowing crews began competing against each other in 1927, but then they were not fighting to win.
It was deemed unladylike and vulgar to race against each other and instead the teams were made to row separately and were judged on their time, grace and style. The battle they did have was to wear shorts rather than skirts.
It took about 40 years until the women's boat race became an annual fixture at Henley, a much shorter and easier course than the men's.
The reason it now follows the same tough 4.2 mile (6.7 km) course on River Thames' Tideway is simple - money.
Until this year the boat race has been a male-dominated tradition, but thanks to the sponsorship and support of a London-based company the women's team will get equal funding to the men.
Winckless thinks this will change the race dramatically.
"For me, the sponsorship from Newton Investment Management is an absolute step change," she said.
"These women can now have professional coaches, they can have training camps paid for and they are not paying for their kit.
"When I was a Cambridge blue in the boat race we had to scrape together money to pay for our own kit and rely on volunteers to coach us.
"Hopefully now we will see women learning from this Tideway course and coming back year after year."
Helena Morrissey is chief executive of Newton Investment Management and helped get the course moved to the Tideway.
She told Sky News the changes were a "breakthrough" and "something to celebrate".
Ms Morrissey - who is also the founder of the 30% Club, which campaigns to have 30% of women on FTSE 100 boards by the end of this year - said people were keen to see the women row the same course as the men.
But she said there were "some pockets of resistance".
"There were worries that the men's race would lose out, so it was really important that we found a way through that," she said.
While some barriers are being broken in the boat race, critics argue it is still an exclusive, elitist and even irrelevant event.
This year's race will however mark a small victory for women in sport - not only for the women rowing but for all those women who rowed before them.
US President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro have greeted each other at a summit in Panama - a symbolically-charged gesture, as the pair seek to restore ties between their countries.
For Barack Obama this will surely be amongst the highlights of his presidential legacy.
He's in Panama for a gathering of leaders from across the Americas - but it's a meeting that has taken place on the sidelines of the summit which will attract the headlines.
That meeting has taken place with Raul Castro.
Touching down in Panama City, even getting invited is a first for the Cuban President - after half a century in exile for his communist country.
The two men had spoken by phone - hours before they were due to meet.
It was only the second conversation between the leaders of the US and Cuba in 50 years.
Four months ago Mr Castro and Mr Obama simultaneously announced an ending of hostilities.
President Obama said starkly: "Fifty years of isolation hasn't worked."
It was quite a statement. But words come easy to the eloquent president. Now it's time to show Cuba has come in from the cold.
Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 after overthrowing Fulgencio Batista
The handshake between the two leaders is symbolic proof of that.
It isn't technically the first time they have shaken hands.
Video:Fidel Castro 'Still Full Of Life'
There is a grainy image of them fleetingly meeting at the Memorial Service for Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 2013.
But this time the handshake is supposed to mean more because it comes after the leaders' December declaration of a new beginning.
Speaking in Panama, President Obama said: "As we move towards the process of normalisation, we'll have our differences government to government with Cuba on many issues, just as we differ at times with other nations within the Americas, just like we differ with our closest allies, there is nothing wrong with that.
"But I am here to say when we do speak out we're going to do so, because the United States of America does believe, and will always stand for, a certain set of universal values."
Video:Dec 17: The Cuba Deal
And that means probably taking Cuba off America's designated list of state sponsors of terrorism. Something which infuriates Cuba.
The rapprochement will also open the door towards loans and aid for Cuba after decades of a crippling trade embargo. And that is a move worth its weight in gold.
Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 after overthrowing the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.
For half a century, the leader of the first communist country in the western hemisphere was a thorn in America's side.
Video:Dec 17: Obama On Cuba: Statement
In 2006 after abdominal surgery he started the transfer of power to his brother Raul who took the landmark step in 2014 of appearing with the US President.
Removing Cuba from the terror list will be a major step if ties really are to be rebuilt between the US and Cuba.
An historic moment after 50 years which has seen America try to isolate Cuba and finally acknowledge it as a neighbour.
Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 other senior members of the group have been sentenced to death for inciting violence and unrest in Egypt.
The court in Cairo also sentenced US-Egyptian citizen Mohamed Soltan to life in jail for supporting the Brotherhood and spreading false news.
Soltan, who is on hunger strike, is the son of Brotherhood preacher Salah Soltan, who was among those sentenced to death on Saturday.
Judge Mohamed Nagy Shehata announced the sentences in a televised address
Judge Mohamed Nagy Shehata also handed life terms to 23 other Brotherhood members.
The defendants were among thousands of Brotherhood supporters arrested after the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

They were accused of plotting unrest from their headquarters in a sprawling Cairo protest camp after the Islamist leader was toppled.
The Rabaa al Adawiya camp was dispersed by police in August 2013 after a 12-hour operation that left hundreds of protesters and 10 policemen dead.
It came after weeks of failed European and US-brokered negotiations with the Brotherhood, who insisted on Mr Morsi's return to power.
Mr Morsi was the country's first freely-elected president and ruled for a year before he was ousted.

President Abdel Fattah al Sisi, the former army chief who toppled him, then won an election and has vowed to eradicate the Brotherhood, which he calls a terrorist organisation.
The group is blamed for a string of militant attacks that have killed dozens of policemen and soldiers.
The deadliest attacks took place in the Sinai Peninsula and Cairo.
The Muslim Brotherhood claims it is committed to peaceful activism and had nothing to do with the bloodshed.

The men's sentences can be appealed before Egypt's highest civilian court, the Court of Cassation, in a process that could take years to reach a final verdict.
The mass trials have drawn international criticism of Egypt's judicial system.
A passenger plane pulled out of a terrifying nosedive with just seven seconds to spare after being hit by lightning in Scotland, says an air accident report.
The Loganair flight, carrying 30 passengers and three crew members, was moments away from crashing into the North Sea before the pilot wrested back control.
The island-hopping Saab 2000 was flying from Aberdeen to Sumburgh Airport, Shetland, when it hit a snow storm with 70mph winds, an interim report by the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) said.
The 42-year-old pilot decided to abort his approach when he was seven miles away, and the plane was then struck by lightning which travelled from the nose to the tail of the aircraft.
He and the co-pilot wrongly believed the autopilot system had disengaged and struggled to regain control of the plane as it plunged at high speed.
As the co-pilot declared a mayday, the pilot kept trying to gain height - but every move was countered by the autopilot.
When it fell to 4,000ft, the plane suddenly pitched nose down and started falling at 158ft per second.
At 1,100ft - giving the crew just seven seconds to act before the plane crashed into the waves - 'pull-up' alarms sounded, the captain applied full power and the aircraft finally started to climb.
The plane landed safely in Aberdeen, with only minor damage.
No passengers were injured, but many were left shaken by the incident, which took place on the night of 14 December.
Passenger Shona Manson told the Daily Telegraph: "It was really, really bumpy. If it was someone who's a bad flyer, it'd be their worst nightmare.
"We were on descent and I said to my partner, we're going back up again, and just as we started to go up again there was an almighty bang and a flash that went over the left wing.
"Then we were really ascending, and at that point there were a few folk looking around going 'Oh my God, what's happening?' The poor guy across the aisle from me just had eyes like rabbits in headlights."
The report said the crew may have thought the lighting strike had disabled the autopilot because other controls had stopped working.
But it was still functioning and trying to descend to its instructed level for the landing.
The AAIB report said: "Although the pilots' actions suggested that they were under the impression the autopilot had disengaged at the moment of the lightning strike, recorded data showed that it had remained engaged."
It said it had not identified any technical malfunction which might account for the incident, and the investigation is continuing, looking at crew training, autopilot design, and any "human factors".
Leighton Aspell has won successive Grand Nationals after riding 25-1 shot Many Clouds to victory at Aintree.
He is the first jockey to win back-to-back Nationals since Brian Fletcher on Red Rum in 1973 and 1974 - and the first to do so on different horses since the 1950s.
It meant there was no fairytale ending for the retiring AP McCoy, who the bookies will have been relieved to see finish fifth.
Saint Are was a close second, Monbeg Dude third and Alvarado fourth.
More than nine million people were expected to watch the biggest race in the calendar, while some £150m of bets were anticipated.
Video:Double Winner's View Of Course
Aspell, who won last year on Pineau de Re, said of his Oliver Sherwood-trained horse: "He's the best ride I've had over these fences, he was awesome.
"It was wonderful and we will certainly celebrate tonight. I asked some big questions, but he dug deep.
"He is all heart - all season he has had hard races.
"Win lose or draw, that's the best ride I have had in the National. I just hoped his battery life lasted out and it did."
Many Clouds was said to have had a "wobble" after the race but recovered quickly.
Owner Trevor Hemmings, for whom this was a third win, said: "I'm almost speechless but what a wonderful feeling."
All 39 horses were thought to be okay afterwards despite several heavy falls.
A total of 19 completed the four-and-a-half mile race.
The team behind Many Clouds collected £561,300 for victory, with second getting £211,100 and third £105,500.
Andy Murray has married his long-term girlfriend Kim Sears in the tennis star's Scottish home town.
The couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends at Dunblane Cathedral and as they left, guests lined the path and threw confetti.
The newlyweds, both 27, waved to crowds as the rain held off despite earlier showers and hailstones.
They then got into a grey car decked with ribbons and will attend a reception at Cromlix House, the hotel owned by the top sportsman.
Murray donned a blue and green kilt as he arrived at the cathedral along with his brother Jamie, one of three best men along with friends Ross Hutchins and Carlos Mier.

Sussex-born Sears, who has been dating the tennis player for nine years, wore an embroidered white gown with three-quarter-length sleeves and a long veil.
She was accompanied by four bridesmaids in long pink gowns.
Guests included Murray's parents Judy and William, grandparents Shirley and Roy Erskine, and former British tennis number one Tim Henman,

Video has been released of Prince Harry performing a dramatic roll in a Spitfire over the chalk cliffs of southern England.
The fourth in line to the throne whooped with delight as he flew upside down in the iconic aircraft, with the Isle of Wight below him.
Footage and pictures, shot in August and released to the media on Saturday, show Harry sat in the back of the two-seater Spitfire.
Harry loved every second of his maiden flight in a Spitfire
Phil O'Dell, Rolls-Royce's chief test pilot and head of flying, sits in front and gives instructions for the engine to be started.
The plane - which became the symbol of Britain's aerial fight against Hitler in the Second World War - is then seen taking off in formation with an identical aircraft.
Video:Harry Backs Veterans' Cause
After Harry's roll, Mr O'Dell takes over the controls and is about to perform a loop.
The royal, an Apache Helicopter commander who is known in the military as Captain Harry Wales, asks him: "What's the G (force) like on that?"
He then winces when he hears the words "about two-and-a-half, three".
But again the white-knuckle manoeuvre leaves Harry howling in appreciation.
As they land at Boultbee Flight Academy in Goodwood, West Sussex, Harry says "my first landing in a Spitfire feels quite good" and when they come to a stop adds "all good things must come to an end".
On the ground, he met two men who have won a place on a Spitfire scholarship training programme for wounded servicemen and women.
Nathan Forster, 27, a former private in the Parachute Regiment from South Shields, Tyne and Wear, and Corporal Alan Robinson, 36, an RAF aircraft technician from Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, hope to join a flypast to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain later this year.

A survivor of the Kenya university massacre in which 148 people were killed has told how she hid from gunmen by covering herself with clothes in a wardrobe.
Cynthia Cheroitich was found by security forces two days after the attack, as medical staff carried out the grim task of dealing with the victims' bodies.
The atrocity was carried out by four gunmen from the al Qaeda-linked Somalia-based terror group al Shabaab, who were killed at the end of the day-long siege.
Ms Cheroitich, 19, said from her hospital bed that she had hid in a large cupboard, refusing to emerge when some of her classmates came out of hiding at the demands of the extremists.
She said the Islamist militants separated the group into those who could read Arabic and who could not.
Video:'I Pretended To Be Dead'
Ms Cheroitich, a Christian, said: "I was just praying to my God."
She also said she drank lotion to stave off thirst and hunger.
She said she did not believe that rescuers urging her to come out of her hiding place were there to help, suspecting at first that they were militants.
It was only when security forces had one of her teachers appeal to her that she did she come out, she said.

Fellow student Cheruiot Tiebafy told how he used the blood of his colleagues to survive Thursday's massacre at Garissa University College.
He said: "Actually I am the only man who survived from all the boys who were held hostage.
"I just smeared the blood of my colleagues, I ate the blood to be my lunch and I go to sleep there for around 13 good hours when we got to be hostage and I pretended to be dead.
"They turned me around, they kicked me but I'm alive."

The UK will get its first three proton beam therapy centres from next year in what experts say is a significant breakthrough for cancer treatment.
The first centre will be opened in Cardiff by local company Proton Partners International Ltd, with two others to follow in London and Northumberland by 2017.
The centres will be available for NHS patients from England, Scotland and Wales, as well as self-paying patients and those with private medical insurance.
Currently patients must head overseas for this type of treatment.
Life sciences entrepreneur Professor Sir Chris Evans says there are more than 150,000 people treated for cancer each year and that demand for treatment is growing.
Video:Ashya Finishes Proton Treatment
Health insurer Bupa has estimated that by 2021 the UK's ageing population is likely to see a 20% rise in the number of new cancers and a 62% rise in the cost of treatment - to £15.3bn.
Proton beam therapy is a targeted type of radiotherapy that can treat hard-to-reach cancers, such as spinal tumours, with a lower risk of damaging the surrounding tissue or causing side effects.
The announcement comes just weeks after the parents of brain cancer survivor Ashya King told how the five-year-old made a "miracle" recovery after receiving proton beam therapy in Prague in the Czech Republic.
Video:Sept: Inside The Proton Beam Centre
The treatment was not available for him on the NHS, although the health service later agreed to fund it.
Professor Gordon McVie, senior consultant at the European Institute of Oncology, who has been appointed chairman of Proton Partners International, says the development is "exciting and important".
He added: "As things stand, patients who can benefit from this treatment have to go abroad for treatment, often at great expense to the NHS.

"The creation of these centres will go a long way to ensuring the very best of treatment is available in the UK."
Former New Zealand rugby union captain Mils Muliaina has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
The 34-year-old Connacht full back, who earned 100 caps for the All Blacks, is suspected of involvement in an incident in Cardiff last month.
He was forced out of Friday night's European Challenge Cup quarter-final tie against Gloucester after 34 minutes, because of injury.
However, shortly after the final whistle, television pictures showed Muliaina being taken away by police.
A spokesman for Gloucestershire Police said: "A man in his 30s was arrested at Kingsholm Stadium on Friday 3 April on suspicion of sexual assault in relation to an incident in Cardiff in March.
"The man has been handed over to officers from South Wales Police who are investigating the incident."
Details of the incident have not been confirmed.
Muliaina was in the Welsh capital playing for Connacht against Cardiff Blues on 6 March.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has denied telling a French diplomat she would rather see David Cameron as Prime Minister than Ed Miliband.
:: For full coverage of General Election 2015 click here
The claims come from a leaked memo, published in the Daily Telegraph, of Ms Sturgeon's meeting with the French Ambassador in February.
The memo was written by a British civil servant after a conversation with France's consul general in Edinburgh, Pierre-Alain Coffinier, who was present.
But speaking to Sky News on Saturday, Mr Coffinier said no preference for PM was discussed at the meeting.
Video:French Official: No Sturgeon Leak
So what do we know about this supposed memo - and who will the story damage most?
:: What does the supposed memo say?
"The Ambassador … had a truncated meeting with the FM [Nicola Sturgeon] (FM running late after a busy Thursday …)
"Discussion appears to have focused mainly on the political situation, with the FM stating that she wouldn't want a formal coalition with Labour; that the SNP would almost certainly have a large number of seats … that she'd rather see David Cameron remain as PM (and didn't see Ed Miliband as PM material)".
:: How did it come to light?
The Daily Telegraph claims the allegations are contained in a leaked UK government memorandum.
It was drafted by a Whitehall official after speaking to France's consul general in Edinburgh, Pierre-Alain Coffinier.
Video:Sturgeon Denies Cameron Support
He called the Foreign Office, following protocol, to pass on a confidential account of several of the ambassador's meetings in Edinburgh.
Those meetings also included talks with the Scottish Secretary, Alistair Carmichael. The letter appears to have been leaked to the newspaper.
:: What has the reaction been?
Ms Sturgeon was quick to react, angrily denying the claims by tweeting the Daily Telegraph's Scottish Political Editor: "Your story is categorically, 100% untrue … which I'd have told you if you'd asked me at any point today."
Labour Leader Ed Miliband said: "I think these are damning revelations ... in public the SNP are saying they don't want to see a Conservative government, in private they are actually saying they do want a Conservative government.
"It shows at this General Election that if you want the Conservatives out is to vote Labour for a Labour government."
Mr Coffinier has also denied the story, telling Sky News: "It is normal to talk about the political situation in broad terms, but I do not know where this comes from, because it is certainly not in my report that anyone gave any preference."
Video:Sturgeon On SNP-Labour Pact
:: Who do these allegations affect most?
For Mr Miliband it is not great, that one of your potential political partners would view you as "not PM material".
But ultimately it is Ms Sturgeon who could be most damaged. Critics have long believed that the SNP's long-term aim of an independent Scotland is best served by stoking anti-Conservative rhetoric.
With the Tories pledging greater spending cuts and offering what could be a toxic EU referendum - those unpopular measures north of the border, administered by Westminster, could strengthen Scottish nationalism.
But if the strategy was exposed it could turn voters off.
:: Could Labour gain?
If Labour can convince former Scottish Labour voters that by voting for the SNP, Mr Cameron is more likely to be Prime Minister, that could boost Jim Murphy's beleaguered party.
Video:Sturgeon Asks For EU Guarantee
And inversely, increased support in Scotland for Labour, would increase the chance of Mr Miliband walking into Number 10.
:: And who do we believe?
The denials from both Mr Sturgeon and Mr Coffinier are strong. That begs the question of why a civil servant based in Whitehall would record something that wasn't true.
SNP supporters may well believe Ms Sturgeon, while her opponents might seize on it. But the only people who know for certain exactly what was said were the ones present in February's meeting.
A Universal Studios employee's ex-boyfriend has shot himself in front of guests at the Los Angeles area theme park.
He put the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger near the new Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride on Friday afternoon, say police.
A woman who works at Mel's Diner inside the tourist attraction called park security after seeing her ex-boyfriend, the father of her child, in the park.
She had obtained two restraining orders against him after incidents at the park, including vandalising her car, according to the authorities.
A policewoman confronted the man in a designated-smoking area, whereupon he drew the gun and shot himself.

"The deputy tried to talk him out of it, but after going back and forth for 30 seconds or so, he shot himself," Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Lt Eddie Hernandez told reporters.
Several guests saw the suicide. Many other park-goers heard the shot but did not witness the death.
Rosie Love, who had just gone on the Despicable Me ride with her daughter, told NBC News: "Everyone was hysterical and praying.
"We heard there was a guy with a gun near one of the water rides."
The man was able to bring the weapon into the park because security search the belongings of guests, but rarely use metal detectors, authorities say.
Universal Studios remained open and was co-operating with the shooting investigation, it said in a statement.

It began at 7.15pm in Japan and at around 8.54pm the moon was fully covered by the Earth's shadow.
Residents of Tokyo – keen to see the local cherry blossoms with the rare background – gave up on viewing the so-called "blood moon" due to thick cloud.

An investigation will be carried out into how a controversial memo about a meeting between Nicola Sturgeon and the French ambassador was leaked.
A Daily Telegraph report claims a leaked UK government memorandum - likely from the Foreign Office - sets out an account of a meeting between the SNP leader and the French ambassador to the UK Sylvie Bermann.
It claims she told the ambassador she would rather see David Cameron than Ed Miliband as PM after the election, a claim she strongly denies.
Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood has ordered a leak inquiry to see how the memo reached the newspaper.
Ms Sturgeon had earlier said: "The bigger question and one I am raising with the head of the civil service is who wrote this memo since the Foreign Office seem to be denying all knowledge of it.

"How did it come to contain such an inaccuracy and how did it get into the hands of the Tory-supporting Daily Telegraph?"
The memo was written by a British civil servant after a conversation with France's consul general in Edinburgh, Pierre-Alain Coffinier, who was present.
But speaking to Sky News on Saturday, Mr Coffinier said that no preference for Prime Minister was discussed at the meeting in February.

"At no stage did anyone comment on their preference regarding the elections."

The memo reportedly said: "Discussion appears to have focused mainly on the political situation, with the (First Minister) stating that she wouldn't want a formal coalition with Labour; that the SNP would almost certainly have a large number of seats ... that she'd rather see David Cameron remain as PM."
It added that Ms Sturgeon said the Labour leader was not "prime minister material".
The final line of the memo, however, read: "I have to admit that I'm not sure that the FM's tongue would be quite so loose on that kind of thing in a meeting like that, so it might well be a case of something being lost in translation."
Mr Miliband said: "I think these are damning revelations.
"What it shows is that while in public the SNP are saying they don't want to see a Conservative government in private they're actually saying they do want a Conservative government.
"It shows that the answer at this General Election is that if you want the Conservatives out the only answer is to vote Labour for a Labour government."

Sky's political correspondent Anushka Asthana said: "The fact that Nicola Sturgeon has 'categorically' denied that she expressed a prime ministerial preference during a private conversation with the French ambassador will do little to stem the political fallout from this story.
"After all, the very suggestion of a conversation could be political gold-dust for Labour, whose national electoral hopes hinge on how well the SNP perform in Scotland."
Meanwhile, campaigning continues into Easter with Labour unveiling a plan to build 125,000 homes by creating a £5bn housebuilding fund.
The Tories, meanwhile, are unveiling a pledge to force pornography websites to use effective age-verification tools to keep out under-18s.
Ms Sturgeon is due to join the annual Scrap Trident group march in Glasgow, only a short distance from the Faslane home of nuclear-armed submarines.
The latest Survation/Mirror poll puts Mr Miliband ahead of Mr Cameron, with 33% and 31% of the vote respectively.

UKIP polled at 18%, the Liberal Democrats 9%, the SNP 5% and Greens 3%.
These results are markedly different from a YouGov/The Sun poll which was published on Thursday night.
It suggested that the Conservative Party had hit a three-year high - with 37% of those questioned stating they would vote Tory if the General Election was tomorrow.
Labour was on 35%, the Lib Dems on 7%, UKIP on 12% and the Greens on 5%.

UN Evacuates Staff As Warplanes Pound Yemen

Video:Warplanes Pound Yemeni Capital
The United Nations has evacuated its staff from the Yemeni capital Sanaa, as a Saudi-led air campaign pounds Shia rebel targets across the country.
Health officials said more than 62 people have died in the southern city Aden alone in the three-day bombardment by Saudi Arabia and its fellow Sunni-ruled allies.
A convoy of rebel fighters advancing on Aden was bombarded on Saturday, residents said.
Explosions at the city's biggest arms depot left at least nine badly injured, a health official said.
Airstrikes hit the biggest arms depot in Aden
And warplanes targeted an airport in the rebel-held capital, according to residents and an official.
The air campaign is an attempt to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who was ousted from Sanaa in September by the Shia rebels, known as the Houthis.

Mr Hadi also fled Aden earlier this week in the face of a military push by the rebels, who are believed to have been encouraged by Mr Hadi's ousted predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh.
A UN source has told Reuters that more than 100 staff members have left and they would move to several countries.
It has also emerged that two Saudi warships evacuated dozens of its foreign diplomats from Aden on Wednesday - hours before the airstrikes started.
The evacuations came as Arab leaders, including Mr Hadi, meet at a summit in the Egyptian resort Sharm el-Sheikh to discuss the crisis.
Yemen's President, speaking at the meeting, called the Shia rebels "stooges of Iran" and blamed Iran for the chaos in his country.
"I tell Iran's puppet ... 'You are the one that destroyed Yemen with your political immaturity'," Mr Hadi said.

Other leaders obliquely referenced Iran at the opening session of the Arab League summit.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi said that military intervention had been "inevitable" due to meddling by a foreign power.
He also endorsed the creation of a joint Arab military force, saying that the Arab world was facing "unprecedented" threats.
Without mentioning it by name, Mr Sisi accused Shia, non-Arab Iran of meddling in Arab affairs.
Iran and the Houthis deny that Tehran is arming the rebel movement.
Mr Hadi demanded the air campaign in his country continue until the rebels surrender and "their leaders turn themselves in to face justice."

"I call for this operation to continue until this gang surrenders and withdraws from all locations it has occupied in every province," he told the Arab summit.
He also called for peaceful demonstrations in Yemen in support of his government.
Saudi Arabian King Salman told the Sharm el-Sheikh meeting that military intervention would continue until "security" is brought to impoverished Yemen.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, at the summit, said negotiations were the only way to prevent a long-term conflict in Yemen.

Breaking News: Crash Victim's Father: Pilot Motive Irrelevant
Two murderers who married in Britain's first gay prison marriage have been banned from sharing a cell.
Paedophile Mikhail Gallatinov, 40, and Marc Goodwin, 31, who is serving life for a homophobic murder, wed at the maximum security Full Sutton prison, near York.
A Prison Service spokesman said the taxpayer did not pay for the 15-minute service at Full Sutton, where both men are serving their time.
"We are very clear that if prisoners do get married, the taxpayer does not foot the bill for the ceremony and they are certainly not allowed to share a cell," he said.
Four of their relatives attended the 15-minute ceremony, which the inmates wore suits for.
Gallatinov's father told Manchester Evening News that even though his son has violent past, he still deserves happiness.
Allen Abdulla, from Hull, said: "If you find love you have to go for it - even if it is in prison.
"Everyone deserves to be happy."
Gallatinov was sentenced to life with a minimum of 20 years after being convicted of murdering Adrian Kaminsky, 28, in Manchester in 1997.
The court heard Gallatinov, a convicted paedophile, was under surveillance by undercover police when he strangled Mr Kaminsky.
Judge Rhys Davies QC said at the time: "This was a cold-blooded, well-planned, callous, chilling and apparently motiveless killing."
Gallatinov's new husband, Goodwin, was handed a life sentence in 2007 for the gay-hate killing of Malcolm Benfold, 57, on the Blackpool seafront.
Goodwin, of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, was 23 at the time and was told he must serve a minimum of 18 years before being considered for parole.
After Goodwin was convicted, police described the killing as "a savage, senseless homophobic attack that resulted in the death of a harmless man".

Video:Knox 'Grateful' For Acquittal
Amanda Knox said she was "full of joy" after she and Raffaele Sollecito were acquitted of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
A tearful Ms Knox added she was "grateful" following the judgement by Italy's top court, which brings an eight-year legal saga to a close.
"I'm still absorbing the present moment, which is full of joy," she told reporters outside her family home in Seattle.
Ms Knox also said she was thankful "for the justice I've received and for the support I've had from everyone - from my family, from my friends, to strangers. I'm so grateful to have my life back".

Asked about Ms Kercher, she replied: "Meredith was my friend. She deserved so much in this life. I'm the lucky one."
Ms Kercher's family said they were shocked by the judges' ruling, although they knew it was a possibility.

In a statement they said: "Emotions are naturally raw at this stage. The decision came as a shock but was an outcome we knew was possible, even if it wasn't what we expected.
"We now understand this decision to be definitive and the end of what has been a long and difficult process for all concerned.
"We believe we will learn of the full reasoning behind the decision in the coming months but for now we need some time to take this in and remember Meredith, the victim at the heart of this."
Ms Kercher, who was 21 and from Coulsdon, Surrey, was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in Perugia in 2007.
Her flatmate Knox, also a student, and Knox's then-boyfriend Sollecito spent four years in jail for the murder but were freed on appeal in 2011.
Knox, now 27, returned to the US before an appeal court threw out the acquittal and reinstated the guilty verdicts last year.
But the legal seesawing now seems to be over after both convictions were annulled by Italy's Supreme Court.
"Finished!" declared Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, after the decision was read out.
He then called his client, who was "crying because she was so happy".
Within minutes Knox, who had remained in Seattle, released a statement saying: "I am tremendously relieved and grateful for the decision of the Supreme Court of Italy.
"The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of this ordeal."
The judges, after 10 hours of deliberation, concluded that a conviction could not be supported by the evidence. Their reasoning will be released within 90 days.
Sollecito's lawyer, Giulia Bongiorno, shouted "Yes, yes, yes" after the judgement was read out.
"You never saw Raffaele pleading, or praying. He has been a rock," she said.
"He is at home with his father and he is very happy. The verdict has proved him completely right."
A lawyer for the Kerchers, Francesco Maresca, expressed very different sentiments, saying: "This is not so much a defeat for the prosecution as a defeat for Italy's justice system."
The original guilty verdicts led to sentences of 28 years for Knox and 25 years for Sollecito.
The couple maintained their innocence, insisting that they had spent the evening together at Sollecito's watching a movie, smoking marijuana and having sex.
Another man, Rudy Guede, from Ivory Coast, was arrested, tried and convicted of the murder in a separate trial and is serving a 16-year sentence.
