'Racist' daubed on France coach Deschamps' house
Karim Benzema (R) claimed "a racist part of France" was to blame for his exclusion from the French side, coached by Didier Deschamps (L)
Rennes (France) - Arab Today
The word "racist" was daubed on the wall of a house owned by Didier Deschamps days after the France manager was accused by Karim Benzema of bowing to "pressure from a racist part of France".
The Real Madrid striker made the accusation after being left out of Deschamps' squad for the European championships starting in France next Friday.
Police confirmed to AFP on Saturday that the Deschamps' property in the Brittany town of Concarneau had been tagged with the word "racist".
It was quickly wiped off again.
Deschamps' lawyer Carlo Alberto Brusa later announced his client was suing for "trespassing and damage to private property".
Benzema was excluded from France's squad after being charged with complicity in an attempt to blackmail France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena over a sextape.The 28-year-old was widely condemned for suggesting it was his Algerian roots rather than the Valbuena scandal that had triggered his omission.
France Prime Minister Manuel Valls was among those to take the Real Madrid star to task, saying he was "shocked" by the outburst.

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. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. 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.
