The Legal Affairs Department of Al-Hadath Al-Youm channel, headed by Mahmoud al-Assal, stopped the “Al-Hayah Ahla” (Life is Better) program permanently after fabricating a fake phone call by a person who impersonated Egyptian heart surgeon Magdi Yacoub. The program violated media professional standards, the policy of the channel and the media honor charter. Al-Hayat Al-Youm program has been permanently suspended on the Al-Hadath Al-Youm channel. Presenters Sherif Adel Mostafa and Nouran Mahmoud al-Sayed have been banned from appearing on Al-Hadath Al-Youm screen permanently, and legal measures have been taken against them. The management of Al-Hadath Al-Youm channel is fully committed to the standards and codes of media ethics.
