The promise of more Emirati investment once again captured the imagination of some of the nation’s talking heads on the airwaves last night. On a more solemn note, the nation’s hosts also turned their attention to the tragic death of Arish University student Naira Salah, which got considerable airtime across the channels yesterday.

The North Coast is on Al Habtoor’s radar: Emirati businessman and CEO of Al Habtoor Group Khalaf Al Habtoor told Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa that he is looking to invest in the North Coast and voiced his admiration for the region (watch, runtime: 57:24). Al Habtoor also confirmed that he intends to set up one to two schools in Cairo.

The Public Prosecution ordered the exhumation of Arish University student Naira Salah’s body for an autopsy to determine the cause of death amid reports of alleged foul play. Salah was reportedly blackmailed by a fellow student at the dormitory of the veterinary faculty before her tragic passing last Saturday, reportedly from poisoning. The story got coverage on Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 8:08), El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 26:24), and Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 17:22).
