Death toll from Tianjin blasts rises to 135
Explosions at a hazardous goods storage facility in Tianjin
Beijing - AFP
The death toll from huge explosions in the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin nearly two weeks ago has risen to 135, officials said Tuesday.
A total of 38 people were missing and 582 were still in hospital, a total of 36 of them in critical or serious condition, local officials announced on Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter.
The explosions at a hazardous goods storage facility on August 12 created a giant fireball and new blazes broke out as recently as last Friday.
They have sparked fears of toxic pollutants contaminating the air and water of the city of about 15 million people about a two-hour drive southeast of Beijing.
China's powerful State Council, or cabinet, has vowed to conduct a "rigorous" investigation into the cause of the explosions, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.

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.
