Beijing - XINHUA
China's meteorological authority on Monday warned the public of possible geological disasters in the south as heavy rain is expected to stay in the region for a while.
Parts of Guangdong, Guizhou, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan, Jiangxi provinces and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region will see torrential rain of up to 180 millimeters of precipitation from Tuesday to Thursday, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said in a statement on its website.
The strong rain is expected to weaken on Friday before a new round of rainstorms comes to the regions from April 9 to April 11, according to the forecasts.
The NMC warned of high risks of geological disasters in the areas, suggesting people affected by the rainstorms take precautions against possible mountain torrents, mud-rock flows and landslides.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
