Galliano anti-Jewish rant trial opens in Paris

John Galliano's trial has opened in Paris.

The fashion designer is in court charged with making public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity.

Mr Galliano could face a fine of up to £21,000 if he is convicted or even a six-month stint in prison.

The designer, who was sacked by Christian Dior following reports of an anti-Jewish outburst at a Paris bar earlier this year, was wearing a polka-dot scarf and black jacket for his court appearance.
