 Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe sentenced to jail in Egypt

The chief executive of J Sainsbury has been sentenced to two years in an Egyptian jail.

Mike Coupe was convicted by a court in Giza for what it claimed was embezzlement after he allegedly tried to seize cheques linked to an Egyptian business Sainsbury's invested in 16 years ago.

As the retailer's chief executive and its most senior employee, the court held Mr Coupe responsible. News of the sentencing was first reported in The Times.

Mr Coupe was automatically convicted as he failed to attend court hearings, and could be arrested if he travels to Egypt.

Sainsbury's claimed it was unaware of the hearings and denied all the allegations against him.

Al-Jazeera journalists celebrate welcome turn in Egyptian retrial

Two al-Jazeera English journalists on trial in Egypt have celebrated a welcome turn in their long-running case when a committee investigating the evidence against them announced the pair had not fabricated news footage.

Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian producer Baher Mohamed were arrested in December 2013 and convicted of aiding a terrorist organisation and spreading “false news” after a trial denounced internationally as a farce. An appeal judge also condemned the proceedings and ordered a retrial.

Following Tuesday’s announcement, Fahmy said: “It’s a victory because they straight out said there was no editing or fabrication of any sort in the videos that are so-called evidence against us. This is great for us. Me and Baher were giving each other high-fives in the cage when we heard this.”

 Brit hit with food poisoning at luxury resort in Egypt

A holidaymaker hit by food poisoning nine months ago is still running to the toilet up to ten times an hour.

James Houlder and his girlfriend Vicki Hood both became violently ill within hours of arriving at the five star Sonesta Beach Resort in Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh.

They suffered sickness and diarrhoea and were barely able to leave their room.

James, 30, who works for a publishing company, has since developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a digestive complaint which he says leaves him in crippling pain and needing the toilet every few minutes.

Vicki, 22, claims she too has been plagued by sickness including a kidney infection.

The couple booked their 10 day all inclusive holiday last summer.

Israel had condemned the Palestinian move to join the ICC, saying it was a unilateral step that undermined prospects for a negotiated peace settlement.
