Tehran - Al Maghrib Today
An 5.2-magnitude earthquake rocked southeastern Iran on Thursday, less than 24 hours after a similar tremor killed two people in the capital Tehran.
Thursday's tremor hit the Kubandan region, 140 kilometres (90 miles) north of the provincial capital of Kerman, at 8:34 pm (1704 GMT), according to the University of Tehran's Iranian Seismological Centre.
Local media reported that the rural area faced power cuts but that no serious damage had been reported. Rescue teams were sent to the area.
The epicentre of Wednesday's quake, also measuring 5.2 magnitude, was just 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of the capital.
It killed an elderly woman and a young girl in Tehran as well as injuring around 120 people.
Iran sits atop several fault lines, and this week's quakes are the latest in a series to have hit the country in recent weeks.
On November 12, the western province of Kermanshah was hit by a 7.3-magnitude quake that killed 620 people.

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.

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.
