Chicago - Gulf News
YouTube star Austin Jones was arrested at an airport in Chicago on child pornography charges.
Jones, who has amassed more than 500,000 subscribers for his a capella music covers, has been charged with two counts of production of child pornography.
Jones has been accused of using digital mediums such as Facebook and iMessage to solicit sexually explicit videos from teenaged girls, pressuring them to “prove” that they were his biggest fans. His reported victims were around 14 years old.
According to Chicago Sun-Times, which was the first to report the news, Jones is currently being held in federal custody. The 24-year-old singer is expected to appear in court for a detention hearing on Wednesday.
He was brought on Tuesday, where federal prosecutors said they would oppose the release of the singer as he is a “risk to the community and there’s a danger he’ll flee”.
If convicted, Jones would face a minimum 15-year prison sentence.

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.
