Terror coverage dominates headlines on 18 December 2016

For international media outlets covering Egypt, it’s all terror, all the time, with major stories on Egypt including the discovery of traces of explosives on the bodies of victims of EgyptAir Flight 804, suggestions that the nation could yet face more Daesh terror attacks in the wake of last week’s Cathedral bombing, and news that a son of Osama bin Laden was denied entry to Egypt yesterday.

More worrying in the long run: Do you remember the heat wave that killed more than 100 people in August 2015? Scientists at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration think it is one of 24 “weird weather cases” from 2015 in which climate change played a role. ABC News has the story here, the landing page for the American Meteorological Society’s page hosting the study is here. You can download the full document here (pdf), or simply focus on the Egypt heat wave chapter here (pdf).
