What we’re tracking on 11 January 2018

A fairly slow news day abroad is balanced by a very busy one here in Egypt, so we’re keeping the miscellany to a minimum this morning.

Among the (very small) handful of international stories worth your time this morning:

• The “last of the bears” are still waiting in hope of a financial crisis, the FT reports;
• Warren Buffett’s elevation of Ajit Jain and Greg Abdel sends his strongest signal yet on succession;
• One person is dead and more than 200 arrested in protests in Tunisia against austerity;
• Nobody in the region is down with how MbS is managing Saudi’s foreign policy toward our neighborhood, Bloomberg reports
• Canada is convinced the US will pull out of the North American Freetrade Agreement;

And, finally, the New York Times is out with its list of 52 places to go in 2018.
