Bugging Baradei
Washington Post scoop on Egyptian-born global atomic energy chief Mohamed El-Baradie being bugged by the US, in a brazen attempt to remove him from this top post for allegedly being lenient on Iran. This would be the second time the US has actively tried to depose a top Egyptian diplomat in a high-ranking global position. Remember Boutros Boutros Ghali?

QIZ being signed
The landmark, and controversial,  Egypt-US-Israel business deal is being inked in Cairo on Tuesday. AP reports on pro and con opinions... More details on the zones are provided by Middle East Online.

Why peace now?
Arab News columnist says the latest flurry of peace moves stem from "Egypt, [being] tired of the saying “The Arabs are willing to fight Israel down to the last Egyptian...”

An Egyptian presidential spokesman, meanwhile, said that Egypt would send an ambassador back to Israel when it felt the decision would help Middle East peace talks.

Democracy in action?
The global media makes a big deal about the anti Mubarak protest that took place in front of the supreme court. Plus, AP's take.

Meanwhile, frank talk from a Daily Star columnist on why the NDP's reform moves are bound to fail.

 

Antiquities spotlight
Several top archeologists in trouble for smuggling. Meanwhile, new mummies discovered in Bahariya

Fun mummies?
Major new Egypt-themed amusement park ride at Universal Studios.

Competition looms
NY Times goes in-depth on the Dubai film fest, positing it as a serious alternative to Cairo, and possibly a place where Egyptian and Arab filmmakers will go for money to produce films.

 

Dealing with it
UN regional AIDS debate takes place in Cairo.

Other woes
Chicago Tribune does in depth story on girls being married off at a young age in Egyptian villages...

Hotel shifts
Will Oberoi no longer be Oberoi in Cairo and Hurghada?
