Great Wall hosts major fashion show
Great Wall hosts major fashion show
Built centuries ago to keep out the barbarian hoards, China's Great Wall was lit up for its first ever big-name fashion show. Some of the country's most famous stars gathered at the Wall at Juyongguan, an hour north of Beijing, for the unveiling of a new line partly designed by Karl Lagerfeld for fashion house Fendi.

Sania rises to 44th in WTA Rankings- Hindustan Times
Sania rises to 44th in WTA Rankings
Press Trust Of India, New Delhi, June 25, 2007
Her not-so-impressive build up to Wimbledon notwithstanding, Sania Mirza's ranking improved by a couple of rungs in both the singles and doubles WTA charts released on Monday.
The Indian ace, who crashed out in the first round of last week's Ordina Open, rose to 44th in the singles list while her doubles standing also improved to 40th.
The 20-year-old Hyderabadi opens her campaign at the All England Club against Russian Yaroslava Shvedova.
Though grass remains Sania's favourite surface and she starts as favourite against the 80th ranked Shvedova, the Indian's recent form makes it a tricky opener for her.
Sania would be teaming up with Israeli Sahar Peer in the women's doubles and Mahesh Bhupathi in the mixed doubles.
Meanwhile in the ATP doubles rankings, Leander Paes dropped a rung to ninth, while Bhupathi remained static at 20th.
Paes will continue his partnership with Czech Martin Damm at Wimbledon where the duo has been seeded fifth.
The pair finished runner-up at last week's Ordina Open.
Bhupathi would also continue to partner Czech Radek Stepnak at the All England Club and the combination has been seeded 11th.

Aircraft crashes into New York City building
A aircraft crashed into a building on the East Side of Manhattan on Wednesday, where flames were exploding out of the 19th and 20th floors of at least one building, according to televised images.
The accident, which recalled bad memories of the disastrous 2001 terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center, occurred on East 72nd Street, not far from the FDR drive that runs along the east side of Manhattan, according to reports on CNN and Fox News.
The stations broadcast pictures of flames coming out of several floors on two buildings. Fox news reported the flames at the 19th and 20th stories.
Fox quoted New York Fire Department officials as saying people were trapped by heavy smoke in the building or buildings.
Broadcasters relayed reassurances from security officials that it was not believed to be an intentional or terrorist attacks. Stock prices nipped down for several minutes on the trading boards of the world's financial capital, but bounced back on the reassurances, Fox reported.
But the television broadcasters said it did not to appear to be an intentional attack on the building.
