Myanmar introduces FM radio program in northern state
Myanmar's Ministry of Information
Yangon - ArabToday
Myanmar's Ministry of Information has introduced May Yu FM radio program that can be received within three restricted areas in northern Rakhine state -- Buthitaung, Maungtaw and Yathedaung, according to a statement of the ministry's information committee Thursday.
The radio program, which began broadcasting on Feb. 1 on test, is to release news for local people to keep up with the times and know about the stories as conflicts have taken place recently in the region causing rumors and invented stories to emerge, the statement said.
The May Yu FM radio program is implemented for current need within the restricted area and it is broadcast with a view to reaching all local people in multiple languages -- Rakhine, Myanmar and Bengali, the statement added.
Three border outposts in Maungtaw, Rakhine state came under violent attack by armed men on Oct. 9 last year in which nine policemen and five soldiers were killed.

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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
