What we’re tracking on 8 November 2016

Meanwhile, it’s Election day in the US, that once-every-four-years moment when the tractor driver from Ohio or Pennsylvania gets to mess it up for the rest of us. May the best woman win. Want to watch live? We’re going to go out on a limb and suggest the most satisfying way to watch will probably be on CNN International or OSN News, but OSN’s programming guide is too much of a hot mess for us to figure out in a reasonable amount of time when that might kick off. If you want to watch on a laptop, phone or iPad, you have roughly 6.02×10^23 options, per our quick search of the interwebs:

  • Twitter: BuzzFeed News will be streaming live on Twitter starting at around 1am CLT tonight (6pm Eastern time).
  • Youtube: The Google service says it will stream election coverage from Bloomberg as well as NBC and PBS, among others, starting at 2am CLT (7pm Eastern).
  • El-Face: Pages from ABC News, CNN, The New York Times, and the PBS NewsHour will all be broadcasting.
  • We would suspect the major US broadcast outlets will live-stream something on their election landing pages. Try: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox.

New York Times: In addition to that Facebook link above, the Gray Lady will be offering unlimited access at no charge to the entire website for 72 hours, ending sometime around 7am CLT on Thursday morning.

The Federation of Egyptian Industries is expected to hold a meeting today to discuss how the float will affect gas prices to industry, Al Masry Al Youm reports. It is worth noting the government has yet to come through on its promise to reduce gas prices to steel manufacturers by last October.
