Fitch: UK downgrade more likely
Washington - Arabstoday
The rating agency Fitch has warned that it may downgrade the UK's credit rating in April. It has put the UK's long-term rating on Credit Watch Negative, which it said showed "a heightened probability of a downgrade". The agency said it was due to higher-than-expected debt levels and downward revisions to UK growth forecasts. The review follows the Budget this week in which UK growth forecasts for 2013 were halved. The Office for Budget Responsibility cut its growth forecast to 0.6% for 2013, from 1.2% in December. The pound fell sharply against the dollar after the news from Fitch, dropping half a cent against the dollar. It has since come back to trade at around $1.5222. BBC

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
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.
