New heir to Saudi throne holds power
Saudi Arabia's hard-charging Mohammed bin Salman, named Crown Prince on Wednesday, holds unusual power for a man of just
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Saudi Arabia's hard-charging Mohammed bin Salman, named Crown Prince on Wednesday, holds unusual power for a man of just 31, so much so that diplomats nickname him "Mr Everything".
The son of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has risen to become Saudi Arabia's most influential and prominent figure since being named second-in-line to the throne in early 2015.
He symbolises the hopes of a youthful local population, more than half of which is under 25.
Prince Mohammed is the main proponent of a wide-ranging plan, dubbed Vision 2030, to bring social and economic change to the oil-dependent economy of a country where women's rights are among the most restricted in the world.
He also holds the post of defence minister more than two years into a Saudi-led military intervention in neighbouring Yemen.

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.
