The Danish fashion model’s barely-there black silk number was covered in delicate sheer lace panels, exposing large swatches of skin on her midriff and legs. As she posed for photos at the legendary Palais de Festivals, Christensen revealed how she’d bypassed Cannes’s “decency” rules with opaque layers of black ruffled fabric wrapping around the top of her skirt in the front and the back.

The mermaid-like silhouette of Christensen’s dress also featured a black silk trim at the bottom of the floor-skimming lace skirt, showing off just a glimpse of her strappy black stiletto sandals underneath.

Christensen accessorized her bold LBD with silver hoop earrings, a small black leather clutch adorned with a bow, and a white watch. She brought the drama by styling her chest-length chestnut brown hair in a French girl-coded blowout with her full bangs swept over one eye. A brown smoky eyeshadow and a dewy pink flush on her cheekbones and lips finished off her Cannes red carpet look.

Russia shows troops moving nuclear warheads in major exercise

MOSCOW, May 20 (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday showed what it said was footage of troops delivering nuclear warheads to mobile Iskander-M missile launch systems, loading them and ‌moving them to launch sites as part of a major nuclear exercise.

In a statement released ‌to state media, the Defence Ministry said its forces had practised bringing units to "the highest levels of combat readiness for the use ​of nuclear weapons".

The three-day exercise, which started on Tuesday and is taking place across Russia and Belarus, comes at a time when Moscow is locked in what it says is an existential struggle with the West over Ukraine.

A senior Russian diplomat warned on Tuesday that the risks of a direct clash between Russia and NATO were increasing ‌due to what he said was a ⁠growing narrative in European capitals about the "looming threat of a high-intensity war" with Russia.

The diplomat, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, said the consequences of such a clash could ⁠be catastrophic.

The Defence Ministry said the nuclear drills, which involve 64,000 military personnel, more than 200 missile launchers, 140 aircraft, 73 surface ships and 13 submarines, would include rehearsing launch procedures for Russian tactical nuclear weapons based in Belarus.

Video ​of ​the training element showed Russian nuclear forces moving in convoy ​through a heavily forested area, camouflaging their ‌vehicles, and raising a launch tube into firing position. The Defence Ministry did not say where the drills took place.

The Iskander-M, a mobile guided missile system code-named "SS-26 Stone" by NATO, replaced the Soviet "Scud". Its guided missiles have a range of up to 500 km (300 miles) and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads.

Russia has used the Iskander-M against Ukrainian forces, according to state media. It has also deployed them in its European exclave of ‌Kaliningrad in the past, and it has placed them in ​neighbouring Belarus, putting Ukraine and several NATO members within their range.

Throughout ​the war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has ​issued reminders of Russia's nuclear might as a warning to the West not to ‌go too far in its support of ​Kyiv.

The U.S.-based Institute for the ​Study of War said the latest drills looked aimed at amplifying longstanding narratives aimed at influencing NATO decision-making to Ukraine's detriment and masking what the ISW said were Russia’s own difficulties in prosecuting ​its war in Ukraine.

Russia says its ‌forces are still advancing in Ukraine and that its aim of taking control of the remainder ​of the eastern Donbas region remains unchanged.

NEW DELHI, May 19 (Reuters) - Indian air safety officials plan to travel to Seattle to observe Boeing's testing of a fuel-control switch panel that was removed from an Air India 787 in February after the pilots on a London-Bengaluru flight flagged a possible defect, according to documents seen by ‌Reuters.

The testing, described by Indian officials as "sensitive", renews the spotlight on the switches on Boeing Dreamliners that regulate the flow of jet fuel into a plane's engines as investigators ‌prepare a final report into an Air India 787 crash that killed 260 people in Gujarat last June.

The switches, designed to be immovable without specific actions from pilots, have come under scrutiny since the preliminary report into the crash found ​they had been shut off nearly simultaneously, starving the engines of fuel.

During the February incident in London, the pilots observed during the engine start that the fuel switches did not remain fixed in the "run" position on the first two attempts when light vertical pressure was applied but were stable on a third try before takeoff, India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said previously.

UK authorities investigated the incident, but Boeing privately told Air India in February the module containing the fuel switches was found to be "serviceable," according to an email seen by Reuters. The DGCA had said the switches passed checks.

The module was nevertheless ‌sent to a Boeing facility in Seattle for testing, according to confidential ⁠emails seen by Reuters being reported for the first time.

As "the matter is sensitive in nature, Air India is hereby directed to ensure that the strip/test examination at OEM's (Boeing) premises is carried out in the presence of a DGCA officer," Manish Kumar, a DGCA deputy director of airworthiness, wrote in his ⁠March 9 email.

While it is not unusual for planemakers to perform such analyses for airline customers, the email did not explain why India's regulator considered the matter sensitive and insisted on attending.

In a statement, Air India said the module was confirmed as "fully functional" by Boeing and the DGCA, but the decision to proceed with further testing is "understood to be intended to ensure a thorough and conclusive evaluation ... as a measure of abundant caution."

The ​additional ​testing "involves examination in a controlled laboratory environment to definitively confirm its performance and integrity," said Air India, which ​is owned by the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines.

The DGCA, Kumar and ‌Boeing did not respond to Reuters' queries.

INDIA PLANS JUNE VISIT TO BE 'THOROUGH'

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which regulates Boeing aircraft, has said last year's Air India crash, the world's deadliest in a decade, does not appear to have been caused by a mechanical issue.

Recorded dialogue between the two pilots on the flight suggested that the captain cut the flow of fuel to the engines while the first officer was flying the plane, Reuters reported last year citing a source briefed on U.S. officials' early assessment.

Such a prospect was denounced by a pilots' union in India and the captain's father, who called for an independent investigation to look into other causes.

Under international rules, a final report into the crash from India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is due next month, and if that is ‌not achievable, an interim update is required. The AAIB did not respond to a request for comment.

In relation ​to the February incident in London, the testing of the switch module is due to take place in June, the ​emails showed, around the time of the anniversary of last year's crash.

The DGCA now ​wants to examine the switch's locking mechanism, including whether external pressure applied at a particular angle could move it when locked, said an Indian government official ‌explaining the reasoning behind the Seattle visit.

The Indian government "wants to be thorough", ​the official said on condition of anonymity because the ​matter is sensitive.

Air India is paying for the trip, which will have two DGCA officials travel to the Boeing facility, said another source familiar with the matter.

While the DGCA said publicly in February the switches "were checked and found satisfactory", the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) queried the airline at the time to understand why the pilots took off with the ​alleged defect and reported the incident only on landing.

Air India at the ‌time told the CAA the unit was found serviceable, one of the emails showed. The CAA did not respond to Reuters' queries.

Boeing has said it issued a ​service bulletin after the February flight to all 787 operators reminding them of existing procedures, but it did not issue new guidance.
