Authorities hoping to pump fuel soon from the ship but bad weather has prevented those efforts from beginning.

The Dutch designer Kris Van Assche took two “cliches” of menswear — a banker’s suit and labourer’s overalls — as his starting point, combining them to create a look part white- part blue-collar.

Slim-fitting black and grey jackets and crisp white shirts were paired with giant-legged pants in bold boilersuit blue, cropped at mid-calf over low, chunky laced boots.

“Workers need protective gear, but now with the crisis it is the bankers who need that protection,” Van Assche told reporters backstage following the show at the historic Beaux Arts art school on the south bank of the Seine.

Hair slicked back for the city, his models’ heavy shoes suggested a metal-capped boot, with protective sides to their glasses, and tiny backpacks in the same colour as their pants clipped to their rear pockets.

Wide-leg pants also came as low-slung dungarees, in black, blue or speckled grey wool, worn under a fitted jacket or ample black overcoat.

“He’s coming back this weekend and will be in the embassy on Monday,” a Turkish embassy official in Paris told Reuters.

“I think PSG is a fantastic club. I think I can do great work to help PSG become a big club in Europe,” Mr Ancelotti told a news conference in Paris.

Paris in the springtime gets a lot of press, but Paris at Christmas has its own special magic. Now, the Mandarin Oriental Paris has opened 39 beautiful suites to serve as your home base in time for the holiday season. Of the spacious refurbished rooms, the standouts are quite obviously the seven duplex suites located on the seventh and eighth floors, with spectacular views of the rooftops and monuments of Paris from their private terraces. Designed by French interior designer Sybille de Margerie, she marries Parisian haute-couture details with understated lines and refined materials that echo the hotel’s Oriental influence.

Some take their cues from the material world and focus on the interior details, as in the Couture suites, where the Broderies de Perles, Coromandel and Arabesque suites are all decorated with bespoke Lesage embroidery in silk, pearls, crystals and sequins. The Cabochons suite which embodies its name in bright jewel tones.

Others look outside: literally in the case of the 1930s-inspired 350 square-meter Royale Mandarin Suite, split over two floors with views of Montmartre, the Garnier Opera, the Grand Palais, the Louvre and the Madeleine. We also mean that figuratively, in the nature-inspired Royale Orientale Suite bedecked with hand-painted crocodiles on the bar and Asian-inspired floral patterns on the drapes. And if that’s not enough room to roam for you, in a notable accomplishment, the top-floor Atelier suites can be connected with the Royale Orientale suite to form the largest room in Paris, at almost 1,000 square meters.

Such risks, Napolitano said in an interview in Paris, heighten the need to keep dangerous travelers from reaching the United States, and she urged European partners to finalize a deal on sharing passenger data that has met resistance over privacy concerns.

And as the venerable establishment marks its 100th birthday, Harry’s Bar remains what it has always been, a small corner of Manhattan in the heart of Paris.

“Every time I’m in Paris I have to come here to get a cocktail,” former New Yorker Michael Formosa said sipping a Gibson – a Martini with a pickled onion instead of an olive.

Russian teenager Elizaveta Tuktamisheva, the world junior silver medalist, took a surprise lead after the women’s short program ahead of world bronze medalist Carolina Kostner of Italy and American Alissa Czisny.

“I skated very well, I’m very happy with what I did,” the 14-year-old Tuktamisheva said. “I got a higher score than Skate Canada.”

Chan, who won Skate Canada last month, toppled and fell backward onto the ice after completing a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop combination skating to “Take Five.” But the Canadian was faultless for the remainder of his program.

“I did a bad quad which happens sometimes, but I was able to get up and gather myself,” Chan said. “I’m very proud of myself. It will be better next time.”

Chan, a two-time Trophee Bompard winner, plans to try an even harder jump in the near future, although he has not yet decided when.

“I’m pretty motivated to try a new quad. I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” he said. “I kind of want to try something harder, something someone’s never done before.”

Chan’s score of 84.16 points put him well clear of Song’s 76.53.

“I’ve changed my technique now,” said Song, who also opened with a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop and recorded his season’s best score. “I’m more consistent, which is why I was able to do the quad.”

Czech skater Michal Brezina was in third place with 74.32, ahead of Adam Rippon of the United States.

Tuktamisheva, meanwhile, landed her triple lutz and triple toe loop and gained in confidence throughout her flawless program — although she downplayed her performance.

“The important thing was I made all my jumps. I didn’t notice a difference between junior and senior (level). I just want to do my job.”

But Kostner looked set to move into first place before an inexplicable stumble midway through her routine. Under no pressure, she lost her footing and fell forward onto the ice. At the end of her routine, Kostner held her head in her hands and crouched in disappointment.

“I got right back to reality when I tripped over my toe,” said Kostner, who spoke of losing her concentration. “When the jumps were over, I thought the most difficult part was over. I guess the steps are not as easy as you think.”

Czisny, wearing an elegant, glittering pink ensemble as she skated to “La Vie En Rose,” stumbled on a couple of landings but avoided touching the ice with her hand.

Czisny said she felt “honored” to skate to Edith Piaf’s song, which became famous worldwide after World War II.

“I’ve always loved the music as well,” she said. “To be able to skate to it makes me happy.”

The Paris criminal court fined Scientology’s two main structures, the Paris Celebrity Center and SEL bookshop, €400,000 and €200,000 respectively, while the French leader Alain Rosenberg was fined €30,000 and given a two-year suspended sentence. Several other members were also fined.

They were said to have taken advantage of the vulnerability of several former members to take large sums of money from them.
