the war in yemen so the turkish egyptian relations also because of the fact that they are they have been supporting different groups in syria and a proxy war in syria so they were strained already ok you're talking about so many of those be. dog whistle issues that dominate the middle east all of them in some senses lead back to crown prince the crown prince mohammed bin salma does anyone have leverage with him because if he is not seen to be moved sideways at least he then surely within his own country could be perceived as being more powerful than he was before the death of jamal khashoggi not less powerful than that man walked into the when that man walked into the constant building here in istanbul but i think i think there will will try to handle this and that is disgraces in order to say probably because otherwise i don't expect for example the crown prince to be sidelined so i don't expect also the u.s. administration to be. giving up on him but. definitely. there will be some. rearrangement of of the relationship and we should expect also the congress to act. by mid january they

that's amal fathy, a 34—year—old egyptian mother.n one day, she had been sexually harassed. in her facebook post, she blamed the government for failing to protect women. two days after she posted the video came the knock at her door. amal was arrested and separated from her family on charges of spreading fake news. i met amal‘s husband, a human rights lawyer, in his office. he told me amal is not the only person falling foul of the law in this way. the government says it's trying to fight rumours that destabilise the country. the government has now set up a hotline for egyptians to report fake news and rumours, and the crackdown appears to go wider than that. hundreds of websites have been blocked in egypt since last year. some of them belong to critical media organisations and some to human rights groups. egyptian authorities deny any systematic crackdown on free speech. amal‘s husband told me he hoped his wife would be released on appeal and reunited with their two—year—old son, zidan. —— three—year—old son, zidan. while there migh

well there was word on thursday here in gaza after the intervention of egyptian delegation they met with the committee that runs these protests there was word that they were going to be scaled down in size and turn and if i just get out of the way i think we can see that that has pretty much come true this is a smaller in number protests than we've seen in recent weeks also as promised it seems there are no incendiary devices kites and balloons being lit and launched towards israel a very small number of tires being set on fire to try to provide screening and in response the israelis are using the prevailing winds which are coming from israel this friday and using a pretty large use of tear gas in terms of the proportion of people it is being used against so largely people are being kept back from the fence what's interesting are the politics which are underlying all of this the suggestion delegation which is still in town and has visited the process site at a different site are up slightly north of here along the border that's part of a wider scale effort both to try to reconcile the pa

it's that some of the hieroglyphs ancient egyptian writing can be extremely difficult to decode that gave them an idea for a research project which google wanted to support. realize that there's a technical technological potential to decipher the year and with it to make it more accessible it takes years and years for someone to learn how you're blessed with a little whereas when we use a computer and a human we can do it easier on. the computer uses artificial intelligence the computerized program learns to recognize and translate hieroglyphs the hieroglyph project needs a vast quantities of data so egyptologists worldwide are using an open source software to upload and share images of ancient inscriptions to the platform. so the first look in the project will be extracting a card with a promise for a wide variety of original sources before working on the tools and algorithms that come to recognize in the darkness automatically then we can analyze existing translations matching hard sequences to unlock them meaning. that could be a boon for tonio sebastian rishta a professor of egyp

and so when i look at the egyptian vost egyptian involvement in libya, i see a lot of reasons for it. there are economic concerns, political concerns remelated to what kind of leadership the egyptian government would like to see in libya. there are very obvious security concerns because they're quite real terrorist threat inside of libya that has impacted egypt as well. i agree with the issue you raised that there is also a regional picture. so the question of maybe egypt and algeria and who is the dominant power across north africa. i think that egypt is far more involved, at least more visibly in libya than algeria has. there is also the larger picture of regional dynamics so the closer relationship between egypt and the uae has also played out inside of libya. and also the closer egyptian-russian relationship is strengthened by cooperation inside of libya as well. so libya for egypt is a priority on some things but it is also a way to build on the other relationship that's are independent priorities. >> so let's go bag to the fack that egypt chose and i'm parra phrasing what they s
