History was created in Egypt on Sunday when Fatma Nabil became the first ever female news presenter to ever appear on state television wearing a veil. This marked the end of a ban on presenters wearing the Muslim head covering. This move by authorities came after Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament or Shura Council, shuffled editors of state-run media and appointed 50 new appointees who were either Islamists or their sympathizers. Egypt's journalists' union has accused Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group of trying to make the media its mouthpiece. (AP)
