Mother and child killed as Swiss house swept away in landslide
Swiss landslide
Vienna - SPA
A mother and her 3-year old daughter were found dead in southern Switzerland on Thursday, police said, after their house was swept away by a landslide, dpa reported. The landslide was triggered by torrential rains that brought some 1,000 cubic metres of soil down from a forest the previous evening onto a traditional stone house in Cuiro in the canton of Ticino. About 80 rescue workers worked with search dogs through the night. They found the 31-year-old woman and her child early in the morning. Since the weekend, up to 300 litres per square metre have rained down on Ticino, the daily Blick reported.

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.
