Touba starring Amr Saad fulfills your Ramadan drama and action needs: The series follows the story of a guilt-ridden felon on the run who moved to Port Said in a bid to escape his past — and a prison sentence — but his life quickly changes and is turned upside down when a secret from his past surfaces. His past eventually catches up with him and lands him in prison, after thug Sayed Al Agnaby (Maged Al Masry), whose hatred towards Touba is apparent from the outset of the series, tips off the police. Touba plans revenge shortly after his release. The series appears to be a hit so far, topping the list of Shahid’s best shows in Ramadan in Egypt this week. Watch it on Shahid.
⚽ Gear up for the North-West Derby tonight, as quadruple-chasing Liverpool clashes with old foe Manchester United tonight at Anfield at 9pm. Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp has asked his players to be “angry” and “greedy” as they consider the game as the most important three points of their lives.
And if that isn’t enough, we also have the Coppa Italia Derby tonight at 9pm between Inter Milan and AC Milan.
At a perhaps slower pace in La Liga, Mallorca will play against Deportivo Alavés at 7pm, while Real Betis will clash with Elche at 9pm with Villarreal v Valencia kicking off shortly thereafter at 9:30pm.
Meanwhile in Egypt, we’re up for two games at 9:30pm: Zamalek v Alexandria’s Al-Ittihad and Talea’ El Geish v Ceramica Cleopatra.

Stephen Hawking: A Memoir of Friendship and Physics by Leonard Mlodinow is a touching biography about the life of an exceptional man behind some of the world’s most incredible scientific discoveries, including his research into the nature of the black hole. Mlodinow uncovers the life of the complex man in a personal account as a colleague and friend, and Hawking’s thoughts towards love, death, and disability from the motor-neurone disease that ate away at his nervous system as he battled with deep questions of philosophy and physics. It follows A Brief History of Time — an accessible exploration of the mechanics of the universe that sold mns of copies.
