Narrative:
Climbing through FL240; we experienced a thrust loss on number 1 engine with associated yaw. Coordinated to stop climb and descended back to FL240. We ran checklists which directed us to turn on engine and wing anti-ice and then check to see if engine thrust could be regained. Engine anti-ice came on normally but wing anti-ice would not come on with amber caret on system page. Thrust would not recover. We left the engine at idle with normal parameters; consulted with dispatch and coordinated a divert. On short final; we got an engine fail ECAM. First officer ran the ECAM and shut down the number 1 engine. Landed uneventfully and taxied to gate under our own power after consulting with fire department. Approximately 10;000 pounds overweight for landing which we entered into logbook.
