Rio Tinto half-year net profit doubles to $1.7bn
Sydney
Sydney - Arab Today
Mining giant Rio Tinto Wednesday more than doubled its first-half net profit amid a recovery in iron ore prices this year after steep falls sparked by softening Chinese demand and a supply glut.
But underlying profit at the Anglo-Australian firm, which is the measure preferred by Rio, was down 47 percent to $1.56 billion.
Net profit was $1.71 billion in the six months to June 30, up from $806 million in the corresponding period last year.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
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" opened 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.
