Iran currency crashes 9% to record low
Tehran - AFP
Iran\'s currency, the rial, plunged nine percent against the dollar at the opening of trade on Monday, to a record low of 32,500 to the greenback, real-time exchange websites showed. The freefall exacerbated a slide over this year that accelerated last month, amid heightened tensions over Iran\'s nuclear programme and as the effects of draconian Western sanctions against the Islamic republic fed into its economy. Minutes after the dramatic plunge was posted on websites such as Mazanex.com, the data was censored. The Mehr news agency reported the rial trading at 32,300 to the dollar.

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.
