Retrial of Egypt's ex-minister in exporting gas to Israel adjourned
Former oil minister Sameh Fahmy
Cairo - MENA
Cairo Criminal Court decided to adjourn to Sunday the trial session of former oil minister Sameh Fahmy and five other defendants over charges of squandering public funds and profiteering from a deal for exporting the Egyptian gas to Israel.
Fahmy, together with Business Tycoon Hussein Salem, were both sentenced to 15 years in jail in June 2012 for squandering public funds in a gas deal with Israel.
Fahmy submitted an appeal against the original convictions and the court ordered a retrial. Salem, however, still faces a 15-year sentence and has not appealed his verdict as he was convicted in absentia.
Egypt agreed to provide Israel with natural gas in 2005 in a deal built on the landmark 1979 peace accords. The public prosecution claimed the agreement lost Egypt over $714 million.

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.

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.
