Loss-hit Toshiba nosedives on fears about future
Toshiba's woes continue to pile up
Tokyo - AFP
Toshiba shares plunged Wednesday afternoon as fears grow about the future of one of Japan's best-known firms, which is battling massive losses and accounting fraud allegations at its US nuclear unit.
The Tokyo-listed stock dropped 13.62 percent to 186.5 yen with concerns growing that the embattled company's shares could be delisted from the bourse.
The vast conglomerate -- which has about 188,000 employees globally and annual revenue topping 5.6 trillion yen -- won regulatory approval Tuesday to delay releasing its fourth-quarter earnings for a second time.
Toshiba said it needed more time to probe claims of misconduct by senior executives at atomic power unit Westinghouse Electric and gauge the impact on its finances.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange has put Toshiba "under supervision" over concerns about its internal management controls, a designation that means the stock is at risk of being delisted -- a major embarrassment for a pillar of corporate Japan.

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.
