concerned with Saturday night\u2019s terrorist attacks in London. Lamees Al Hadidy, the better half of the two, also recapped reactions from the banking sector on the government\u2019s new mobile payments strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Kol Youm\u2019s <strong>Amr Adib suggested that the London attacks will help sway the international <\/strong><strong>community on officially designating the Ikhwan a terror group<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mY-WdG6SRpI\">watch<\/a>, runtime 2:06) and attempted (rather unsuccessfully) to analyze British Prime Minister Theresa May\u2019s speech after the incident. He criticized the UK for failing to take tougher measures against terrorism sooner (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nxMauhpzbA0\">watch<\/a>, runtime 6:04).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees also stressed the need for the UK to take serious action against terror groups<\/strong> and their financiers and sympathizers, accusing the country of acting as a \u201csafe haven\u201d for the Ikhwan on her biweekly Ramadan spot on CBE Extra News.<\/p>\n<p><strong>She then spoke with CIB Chairman Hisham Ezz Al Arab about the National Payments <\/strong><strong>Council's decisions from Saturday<\/strong>. Ezz Al Arab, who is also head of the Federation of Egyptian Banks, says he expects mobile payment solutions to be widely adopted. Ezz Al Arab said that he expects forthcoming legislation on mobile payments will see the replacement of archaic banking rules from 1960s that are still in place today and that mandate keeping paper records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The National Bank of Egypt\u2019s head of retail banking Hazem Hegazy <\/strong>also told Lamees that the draft law will include clauses to regulate electronic payments and utility bill payments (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eLqxeyhNL9o\">watch both call-ins<\/a>, runtime: 14:33).<\/p>\n<p>Lamees also spoke to MP Salah Hasaballah about the handover of <strong>Tiran and Sanafir islands <\/strong>to Saudi Arabia. <strong>Hasaballah told the host that many MPs are against the agreement<\/strong> and will ask House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal to live broadcast the plenary session vote so that people would know who\u2019s for and who\u2019s against.<\/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=\"646057\" 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=\"646057\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/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\/06\/05\/fx-reserves-up-to-usd-31-1-bn\/\">\r\n                            FX reserves up to USD 31.1 bn                        <\/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\/06\/05\/fx-reserves-up-to-usd-31-1-bn\/\" 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();

It features celebrities including Isaad Younis, Essam El Hadary, and Ibrahim Eissa, whose presence is both surprising and telling in the context of state-sponsored communication. The campaign is a nationwide call to seek knowledge and to examine and analyze the daily flow of information that washes over us all. Eissa\u2019s piece speaks for the general public in explaining that when we know the real facts of any situation \u2014 good or bad \u2014 our collective sense of responsibility and knowledge grow. \u201cThis is my right as a citizen,\u201d Eissa says. We'll have messages from El Hadary and Younis tomorrow and Wednesday.

While Ghandour may have intended to minimize the rift, the fact of the matter is that Egypt and Sudan have serious issues they need to work out \u2014 without blaming the media. The decision to play the platitude game instead of addressing the root causes of the tensions will only result in the continued deterioration of our ties, Hussein says.<\/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\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/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=\"646078\" 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=\"646078\">\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\">Worth reading<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/06\/05\/mohieldin-says-sustainable-development-in-the-arab-world-comes-with-private-sector-partnership\/\">\r\n                            Mohieldin says sustainable development in the Arab world comes with private sector partnership                        <\/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\/06\/05\/mohieldin-says-sustainable-development-in-the-arab-world-comes-with-private-sector-partnership\/\" 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();
