Talking heads cover El Sisi’s trip to Berlin + the final of the African Handball Championship

Diplomacy and sports dominated the airwaves last night with the nation’s talking heads focused on President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s trip to Berlin and Egypt’s victory in African Handball Championship final.

El Sisi in Berlin: El Sisi co-chaired the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin and held talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz yesterday. The news received coverage from El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 2:25), Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 6:40, Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 2:06) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 2:08).

Egypt was crowned African handball champion for the second year running last night, defeating first-time finalists Cape Verde 37-25. This is the eighth time the Pharaohs have taken home the trophy. Omar El Wakil was named the man of the match. Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 0:53), Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 1:33), El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 2:25) and Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 0:59) all had the story.

GEM delayed again: The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is set to be completely finished before the end of the year, Tourism Minister Khaled El Enany told El Hekaya’s Amr Adib (watch, runtime: 2:32). The inauguration date would be determined by global conditions and other events the state is working on, he said. Secretary-general of the Supreme Council for Antiquities Mostafa Waziri said just a few weeks ago that the museum will be finished within three months.
