Qatar has not yet approved Haj flights
Saudi Arabia
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Saudi Arabia says its aircraft have not been given permission to land in Doha to pick up Qatari pilgrims for the annual Haj.
Saleh Al Jasser, the general manger of Saudi Arabian Airlines, was quoted by Saudi state TV on Sunday as saying Qatari authorities have not yet authorized the kingdom's aircraft to land in the capital, despite a request submitted several days ago to transport Qatari pilgrims from Hamad International Airport in Doha.
Last week, Saudi Arabia reopened its border with Qatar to allow Qataris to attend the Haj amid a months long rift between the neighboring countries. The Saudi king also authorized Saudi planes to transport pilgrims.
Qatar's foreign minister said his country welcomed the move, though it does not appear to have been coordinated with Qatar's government.

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.
