Joseph Votel, commander of US<\/strong><strong>Central Command, on Masaa DMC<\/strong>. It was otherwise a mixed bag of nuts last night, with topics ranging from the energy sector to institutional corruption. Surprisingly absent: Coverage of the AFI financial inclusion summit in Sharm being co-hosted by the central bank, which the local print media has been fixating on all week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The resumption of Bright Star was not only significant to US-Egypt relations, but for the<\/strong><strong>region as a whole<\/strong>, Votel told host Osama Kamal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jKq15HK1JsE\">watch, runtime 4:13<\/a>). \u201cThe US knows it can\u2019t fight terrorism alone, and that they can depend on partners,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is very important to have a mechanism of sharing information to make sure that Egypt has the best understanding of what is happening,\u201d he added. Votel gave a brief rundown on the war games, saying they include both staff exercises and live-fire exercises on the ground (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3JsdK2d3EEY\">watch, runtime 5:34<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Votel only briefly touched on the recent tension between the two countries<\/strong> after an aid cut that many believe was not about human rights, but designed to pressure Egypt to break ties with North Korea. \u201c<strong>There certainly going to be some disagreements, but we can work through these disagreements<\/strong>. Bright Star is an example; we stopped it eight years ago, but now it is back because we recognized the importance of it,\u201d he said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f73ueY68HCs\">watch, runtime 5:41<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>All in all, it was nice to see a senior US official go on television and speak directly to Egyptians and strike a positive note<\/strong>, even if it was someone who wears fatigues for a living and not a dip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kamal wasn\u2019t done yet, going on to interview Oil Minister Tarek El Molla,<\/strong> who discussed the notion (<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/09\/12\/saudi-aramco-may-have-given-a-big-boost-to-our-ambitions-as-a-regional-energy-hub\/\">which we reported yesterday<\/a>) to have Aramco refine Saudi oil in Egypt. El Molla says the talks include having Aramco diversify the oil products shipped through the SUMED pipeline to include fuel oil and butane gas, as well as crude oil. The minister noted that, while Aramco owns 15% of SUMED\u2019s shares, it accounts for 55% of its turnover (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Xrv0wRROZiQ\">watch, runtime 9:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Hona Al Asema, <strong>Food Industries Holding Company head Alaa Fahmy<\/strong> <strong>dismissed<\/strong><strong>the notion of private-sector investment in public companies, <\/strong>telling host Lamees Al Hadidi that it would be unnecessary. We all miss the 1970s, don\u2019t we, Alaa? He then droned on about some tuna factory reopening (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EwxE-UwHhIs\">watch, runtime 6:47<\/a>), making us wonder: Why do even educated journalists so unquestioningly fawn over functionaries from the black holes that are state-owned enterprises?<\/p>\n<p>Infinitely more relevant: <strong>Lamees resumed her weekly women-focused segment, Hona<\/strong><strong>Al-Settat<\/strong>, which centered on the issue of gender parity in inheritance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y-6HMhCHn7w\">watch, runtime 4:45<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Kol Youm, <strong>Amr Adib bellowed and gesticulated about government corruption<\/strong> and the Administrative Control Authority\u2019s consistent efforts to arrest officials involved in graft, which he says send a clear message that the state is committed to fighting corruption (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nBAL3vbEp2Q\">watch, runtime 24:31<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yahduth fi Masr\u2019s Sherif Amer remained preoccupied with the terror attacks in North<\/strong><strong>Sinai<\/strong> earlier this week, for which the head of the National Center for Security Studies Khaled Okasha pointed the finger of blame at Qatar.<\/p>\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\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/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=\"641124\" 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=\"641124\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/09\/13\/cbe-to-complete-amendments-of-the-central-bank-and-banking-acts-in-a-month\/\">\r\n                            CBE to complete amendments of the Central Bank and Banking Acts in a month                        <\/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\/2017\/09\/13\/cbe-to-complete-amendments-of-the-central-bank-and-banking-acts-in-a-month\/\" 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();

Netflix is bringing it back to life. <\/strong>At least a couple of us here at Enterprise are excited to watch Netflix\u2019s remake of the Magic School Bus animated series once it <strong>graces our screens on 22 September.<\/strong> Not only is the familiar yellow bus getting a revamp, the intrepid Ms. Valerie Frizzle will be putting sister Fiona behind the wheel, as she takes her third-grade students on mad (scientific) adventures up to the moon, down to the bottom of the ocean, and inside the cells of the human body \u2014 all in the pursuit of knowledge. The nostalgia is especially strong with this one, for both our millennial staffers and the Gen X parents on staff, whose even-younger kids enjoyed the books.

Given the number of aircraft - that\u2019s around five dozens of vehicles - the supplies are expected for several years \u2026 I\u2019m sure that we will meet the deadline on fulfilling our obligations under the contract,\" Kozhin said. Earlier reports noted that Egypt bought around 50 MiG-29 fighter jets that are set to be delivered by 2020. Meanwhile, it appears that the Ka-52K helicopter delivery contract <a href=\"http:\/\/tass.com\/defense\/965106\">was not a finalized agreement entirely<\/a>, as Kozhin says \u201cit is true, we won the tender, but that does not necessarily mean that a contract is signed instantly \u2026 I do hope this will happen soon.\u201d Kozhin did not seem too worried about the future of the contract, saying \u201cone should take note of our advantage over competitors, bearing in mind that the helicopters are of Russian manufacture. The Mistral ships were custom-made to accommodate our helicopters.\u201d<\/p>\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\/national-security\/\">national security<\/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=\"641154\" 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=\"641154\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">19<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ON YOUR WAY OUT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/09\/13\/investment-ministry-launches-fekretak-sherketak-startup-initiative\/\">\r\n                            Investment Ministry launches \u201cFekretak Sherketak\u201d startup initiative                        <\/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\/2017\/09\/13\/investment-ministry-launches-fekretak-sherketak-startup-initiative\/\" 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();
