Policemen walk beside explosion
Mogadishu - Arab Today
A car bomb exploded at the gate of Somalia's presidential palace in the capital Mogadishu.
A conference debating the nature of Somalia's election in 2016 had just ended in the compound, reported the BBC.
It is not clear if there are any casualties - most delegates are thought to have left the palace but a few remained.
The presidential palace is the seat of government and many top government officials live and work there.

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.
