Car rams into crowd at violent rally in US
A witness estimated a dozen had been hurt in the collision
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A vehicle plowed into a crowd of people Saturday at a Virginia rally where violence erupted between white nationalist demonstrators and counter-protesters, witnesses said, causing an unclear number of injuries.
A witness estimated a dozen had been hurt in the collision - which he called "intentional" - saying one girl got "tore up" after the car "backed up and they hit again."
He said the dark sedan "raced down here, jumped over the speed bumps and it backed up and it hit everyone again."
"There was a girl that was on the ground; she was trying to get up," he added.
Emergency personnel in ambulances quickly arrived at the scene in the normally tranquil city of Charlottesville. An AFP journalist witnessed injured people on the ground and others in tears.
The crash occurred as hundreds had descended on the city either to take part in or voice condemnation for a far-right rally that quickly erupted in violence.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe had earlier declared a state of emergency as Charlottesville descended into violence.

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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
