Australia to build first jail for militants
First prison aimed at isolating militants
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Australia is to build its first prison aimed at isolating militants and stopping the spread of radical beliefs through the prison system as part of efforts to eliminate terrorism, the premier of New South Wales state said on Sunday.
The unit will be within a maximum-security prison and have capacity for 54 inmates, who will be isolated and intensely monitored, said the state's Premier Gladys Berejiklian
"We'll be giving $47 million over the next three years to have the extra capacity to isolate those prisoners who are likely to try a spread radicalisation through the prison network," Berejiklian told reporters. There are 33 people within the New South Wales' prison system who have been jailed for terrorist offences. Australia has seen a series of militants-inspired attacks recently.
"We're a government taking nothing to chance, we'll be making sure we continue to have the toughest position in the nation in relation to eliminating terrorism," Berejiklian said.

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.
