Last Night’s Talk Shows on 21 January 2021
There was little of interest on the business / econ front last night: Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa covered Education Minister Tarek Shawki’s address to the House of Representatives (covered in the Education section, above). The talk show host showed Shawki noticeably more respect than he gave to the information, supply and local development ministers earlier this week (watch, runtime: 4:58).
Elsewhere:
- Everyone was talking about Joe Biden’s inauguration: Yahduth Fi Misr (watch, runtime: 13:25), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 29:27) and Kahera Wenas (watch, runtime: 35:34).
- Egypt’s 28-23 win over Russia in the handball championships got attention from Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 3:42) and Ala Mas'ouleety (watch: runtime: 2:42).
- El Sisi speech: Masaa DMC’s Ramy Radwan (watch, runtime: 3:51) and Al Hayah Al Youm’s Mohamed Sherdy (watch, runtime: 7:14) covered President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s speech on the 60th anniversary of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, during which he praised Egypt's economic performance in light of the covid-19 outbreak.
