Doha - Muslimchronicle
A video that’s been described as a violation of diplomatic norms showed a member of the official Qatari delegation, participating in elections to select a new director general for UNESCO, accusing Egypt’s foreign minister and Saudi Arabia’s delegate of pressuring some countries not to vote in favor of Qatar.
Qatar could not finalize the first round of elections in favor of its candidate Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kawari despite making generous financial offers and bribing some delegates to vote for him, as French media outlets reported prior to the elections.
According to these reports, Qatar received at least 10 UNESCO delegates two weeks ago, hosted them and gifted them generous presents.
Other media reports published two days ago said Doha bribed some delegates while meeting with them in a restaurant close to UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris. These delegates include two from an Arab country and others from African and Latin American countries.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
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.
