S. Korea Confirms Foot-and-Mouth Disease Case
Seoul - QNA
South Korea confirmed a case of foot-and-mouth disease at a dairy farm, the agriculture ministry in Sejong said Monday.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said that 195 cows at the farm in Boeun, 180 kilometers southeast of Seoul, of North Chungcheong Province, tested positive for the animal disease, according to (Yonhap) news agency.
Foot-and-mouth disease, which does not affect humans, is often fatal for cloven-hoofed animals, such as cows and sheep.
The ministry said it has taken measures to contain the suspected outbreak, including a ban on the movements by livestock and people near the farm.
South Korea reported its last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease on March 29 last year.
The country has been struggling with rapidly spreading avian influenza for nearly three months, with more than 30 million chickens and ducks culled.

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.
