Arab coalition forces capture Yemeni island
Arab coalition forces
Riyadh - Arab Today
Spokesman for Arab coalition operations in Yemen Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri said Tuesday the coalition forces seized control of Yermen's Zuqar Island just hours before a week-long ceasefire came into effect.
The forces managed to expel Houthi and Saleh militias from the island, he added.
The spokesman said that the island would help the coalition forces to provide protection of shipping lanes in the Strait of Bab el Mandeb.
Zuqar Island is an island in the Red Sea between the coasts of mainland Yemen and Eritrea, near the Bab el Mandeb strait which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
Meanwhile, the coalition said that a ceasefire had begun at noon Tuesday as scheduled.

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.

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.
