Tillerson bats for Qatar monitoring mechanism
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson flew to the Middle East on Monday for talks aimed at resolving a crisis over the cutoff of diplomatic and transport links with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and three regional allies.
In Doha, a Western diplomat said creation of a "terror finance monitoring mechanism" would feature in the talks. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt imposed sanctions last month, accusing Doha of aiding terrorism.
The US State Department said Tillerson, who forged extensive ties in the Gulf as CEO of ExxonMobil, would hold talks with leaders in Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He was flying from Istanbul where he attended an international petroleum conference.
R.C. Hammond, a senior adviser to Tillerson, said he would explore ways to end a stalemate following Qatar's rejection of 13 demands issued as condition for ending sanctions.

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.
