White House to Use to Build Border Wall
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney
Washington - Emirates Voice
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said that the White House plans to use the border security spending increase, which was approved by Congress' negotiators during the negotiations for budget deal, to initiate the construction of a steel border wall between the US and Mexico.
Mulvaney acknowledged that the funding won't allow the White House to build the massive concrete barriers Trump has promised his supporters, but the administration still plans to fix and replace existing fencing with a "see-through steel wall." The Democrats touted the budget agreement, which was announced a couple of days ago, as a win and claimed it blocked new funding for border wall construction, according to the CNN.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday: "The bill ensures taxpayer dollars aren't used to fund an ineffective border wall." However, Trump touted the border security funding as a "down payment on the border wall."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
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. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
