An International Labor Organization delegation arrived in Cairo on Saturday <\/strong>for talks with government officials on upcoming legislative reform, especially the new Labor Act currently before the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

House committee gives preliminary nod to Daba\u2019a nuke plant: <\/strong>The House of Representatives\u2019 Energy Committee gave a preliminary nod to the Daba\u2019a nuclear power plant agreement with Russia\u2019s Rosatom on Sunday, MP Hamada Ghallab tells Al Mal<\/a>. The committee will deliberate on the agreement over the next few days before moving it over to a plenary session for a vote.<\/p>\n

Iranians go to the polls to elect a new president on Friday.<\/strong> The contest so far sees incumbent Hassan Rouhani enjoying a lead over both hardliner Ebrahim Raisi (backed by the powerful Revolutionary Guard) and conservative Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. There will be a runoff on Friday, 26 May if no candidate wins a majority this coming Friday. Reuters explains<\/a> that the Guard is backing Raisi because it\u2019s looking ahead to the real seat of power \u2014 Supreme Leader \u2014 but it seems Rouhani still enjoys a commanding lead at the polls<\/a>. He also has the backing of Mohamed Khatami, the high-profile reformist and \u201cfigured head of the reform movement\u201d who was president from 1997 to 2005, the Financial Times reports<\/a>. The downside: There are signs voter turnout could be low<\/a>, a warning sign for any reforming candidate in Iran.
