It’s a cops ‘n crime kind of morning of Egypt in the international press — in the old-fashioned, 1960s use of the word. The Associated Press says a building collapse that killed three siblings in Beni Suef is “common in Egypt.” Asharq Al Awsat also picked up the news. Reuters, meanwhile, is out with a story headlined “in conservative Egypt, women seek low-cost ways to ‘prove’ [they haven’t engaged in premarital relations].”

(We’re not being prudes about the word — it’s one of the many that prompt the algorithms to send our email to your bad folders if we mention it.)
