Residents Evacuated after WW-II Bomb Found
The German authorities evacuated residents from their homes in the western German city
Berlin - Emirates Voice
The German authorities evacuated residents from their homes in the western German city of Krefeld late Tuesday to defuse an unexploded World War II bomb.
The bomb, a 250-kilogram war relic, was found just one meter underground during excavation work at a former retirement home, the local fire department said in a statement early Wednesday. Bomb experts determined that the bomb had to be defused quickly.
Around 500 residents within a 100 meter radius were forced to evacuate the area while the bomb was defused, with some less-mobile neighbors being moved by ambulance. Streets in the area were also blocked off by police.
On May 7, authorities in Hanover defused three much larger World War II-era bombs, in the second-largest operation to remove unexploded ordnance in the country's history.
During that operation, 50,000 people had to be evacuated from the surrounding area.

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.
