TSE hits 7-week high in cautious trading ahead of ECB meeting
Britain's top share index
London - ASP
Britain's top share index hit a seven-week high in cautious trading on Thursday ahead of the European Central Bank's policy meeting at which it is likely to announce a government bond buying scheme to try to boost the region's economy, Reuters reported.
A euro zone source said on Wednesday the ECB's Executive Board has proposed that the bank should buy 50 billion euros ($58 billion) in bonds per month from March -- the last big policy tool for breathing life into the flagging euro zone economy and fending off deflation.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index was up 0.3 percent at 6,748.02 points by 0901 GMT after rising to 6,749.07 points, the highest level since early December.

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.
