Other stories on 13 November 2016

Among the other national and international stories worth noting this morning:

  • There no protests this weekend amid a heavy security presence. Reuters’ coverage is typical. The most evidence we could find were undated photos on the Freedom and Justice Party’s twitter feed of what it claimed was a Thursday, 10 November march in 10 Ramadan and a later call for revolution on the Ikhwan’s website. We’re not linking to either to save you the blood pressure points.
  • Siemens revenue up on Egypt projects: “Revenue rose 3% [in the company’s fiscal fourth quarter], to EUR 21.95 bn, helped by strong growth at the power and gas division. Revenue growth in that business was mainly a result of the ‘strong execution’ of a large order backlog, including a EUR 8 bn power generation deal with Egypt, the company said,” the WSJ (paywall) reports. The company’s full earnings release is here (pdf).
