the Daeshbags: Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. <\/b>Every host with no exception took note of yesterday\u2019s biggest global news story, and spoke to experts and researchers to break down what the US-led operation might mean for the terror organization.<\/p>\n<p><b>Al Baghdadi died in a raid by US special forces in Syria\u2019s Idlib on Saturday evening<\/b>, US President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1188463248670109696\">confirmed in a nationally televised speech yesterday<\/a>. Trump had <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1188264965930700801\">tweeted on Saturday evening<\/a> that \u201csomething very big has just happened,\u201d without elaborating at the time.<\/p>\n<p><b>The first word goes to the smartest woman on nighttime TV: <\/b>Al Kahera Alaan\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi hosted Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies terrorism expert Ahmed El Behairy for a lengthy segment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IbT1-2lJymw\">watch, runtime: 17:19<\/a>). Lamees\u2019 lawfully wedded husband Amr Adib, meanwhile, chatted with Islamic researcher Sameh Eid over the phone (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bd7hlvCi7Ag\">watch, runtime: 4:43<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>The White House takes from the Obama playbook? <\/b>El Behairy pointed to similarities between Saturday\u2019s operation and the handling (and White House media management of) the Obama-era raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. \u201cThe same [US special] forces targeted Al Baghdadi,\u201d El Behairy said. The timing of the attack was also similar, Behairy said, noting that both Obama and Trump managed to catch themselves some international terrorists prior to an election. (We can\u2019t help but call El Behairy on this one: There is still over a year to go before Trump has to face the voters, and the bin Laden raid took place a full 18 months before the 2012 election.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Did Turkey just give Baghdadi to the US as a quid pro quo?<\/b> Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary spoke to Heba El Koudsy, Washington bureau chief of the London-based Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, who suggested that Turkey could have exchanged intelligence on Baghdadi\u2019s whereabouts in a quid-pro-quo (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SySgJNlegaA\">watch, runtime: 13:02<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Expect the story to continue shaping the international news cycle today<\/b>. See, for example, coverage in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/27\/us\/politics\/isis-leader-killed-trump.html\">New York Times<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ba7d2a30-f893-11e9-98fd-4d6c20050229\">Financial Times<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/islamic-state-leader-targeted-in-u-s-military-raid-11572155580?mod=hp_lead_pos1\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-mideast-crisis-baghdadi-trump\/trump-announces-death-of-islamic-state-leader-baghdadi-idUSKBN1X60GA?il=0\">Reuters<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>The aftermath of last week\u2019s rain was the second most popular topic. <\/b>El Hadidi spoke to MPs Moataz Mahmoud and Mahmoud El Husseiny about last week\u2019s torrential rain, both of whom criticized the government\u2019s handling of the crisis.

EM state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have capitalized on \u201ceasy global financial conditions\u201d over the past decade to consistently and substantially increase their debt. Fitch Solutions had warned in a webinar <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/27\/usd-debt-exposure-an-achilles-heel-for-ems-right-now-fitch-says\/\">we attended last week<\/a> that a borrowing binge in EMs following the 2008 global financial crisis has created an \u201cAchilles heel\u201d for EMs in the form of USD-denominated debt exposure.<\/p>\n<p><b>Just how much debt are we looking at? A lot.<\/b> If we\u2019re just looking at fully government-held SOEs, the amount of debt issued from these companies accounts for a third \u201cof the entire EM sovereign hard currency bond universe.\u201d Expand the scope a little to include SOEs in which governments are just majority owners, and we\u2019re looking at debt accounting for around half of issued corporate securities.<\/p>\n<p><b>The bigger issue is that the accrued debt hasn\u2019t exactly helped performance:<\/b> \u201cThe use of debt appears to have been less productive in many EM SOEs that have increased leverage but have become less profitable,\u201d the report says. Oil and gas SOEs, for example, have seen their leverage ratios almost double since the global financial crisis (whereas private sector firms\u2019 leverage has been more or less stable over the past 15 years), but have seen a noticeable drop in profits in the process. And to make matters worse, SOEs\u2019 large debt burdens has seen their creditworthiness taken a significant hit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"web-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2019\/10\/2056.pdf\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2019\/10\/648.png?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Which countries are most at risk?<\/b> Breathe a sigh of relief \u2014 Egypt is not among those singled out by the report as having a problem with over-indebted SOEs. In countries such as Mexico, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia, SOE debt is hovering around 10% of these nations\u2019 GDP.

The ranking, developed by the journal\u2019s environment, social, and governance research analysts, found that the top 20 most diverse companies outperform the least diverse firms when it comes to share price and operating results. The Financial Times <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/01\/what-were-tracking-on-01-october-2019\/\">had previously probed the correlation<\/a> between diversity and performance, but in less quantitative terms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who\u2019s the best at diversity?<\/b> The system grants each company a score from 0-100, with 100 being the most diverse and inclusive. Progressive Corp. sits at the top of the ranking, with a score of 85, followed by JPMorgan Chase with a score of 80. The financial sector as a whole was found to be the most diverse, with an average score of 50.4, followed by communications services firms. Interestingly, the ranking found that large companies were more likely to be inclusive and diverse, either because small companies have less money to dedicate to diversity research or because large companies are more likely to face scrutiny for not being inclusive enough.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"594374\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"594374\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/28\/el-sisi-talks-terrorism-regional-security-at-munich-security-conference-core-group\/\">\r\n                            El Sisi talks terrorism, regional security at Munich Security Conference Core Group                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/28\/el-sisi-talks-terrorism-regional-security-at-munich-security-conference-core-group\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

One weekly chartered flight carrying 168 passengers will then continue until March 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/27\/peak-uk-tourist-numbers-would-increase-gdp-by-0-15-each-year-capital-economics\/\">We noted yesterday<\/a> that tour operator Red Sea Holidays announced hours after the ban was lifted that it would launch weekly charter flights from late December. TUI, meanwhile, is looking to start flights next summer. The restrictions were brought in after the downing of a Russian airliner in October 2015.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/aviation\/\">aviation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/diplomacy\/\">DIPLOMACY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/security\/\">security<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/tourism\/\">tourism<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/uk\/\">UK<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"594378\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"594378\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Telecoms + ICT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/28\/communications-ministry-to-inaugurate-first-ai-center-in-1q2020\/\">\r\n                            Communications Ministry to inaugurate first AI center in 1Q2020                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/28\/communications-ministry-to-inaugurate-first-ai-center-in-1q2020\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The center will be operational in 1Q2020, and will relocate to a new R&D center in the new administrative capital at some point in the future. Little is known about the ministry\u2019s broader research goals, but part of its work will focus on teaching machines to receive and follow commands in Arabic.
