The manager of an English-language newspaper in Egypt has said he has been stopped from publishing, two weeks after the government revoked a printing ban.

The publisher of the fortnightly Cairo Times ,Hisham Qassem, said the plant which prints his newspaper had been told by officials not to put it out.

Correspondents say the latest move comes amid government efforts to clamp down on what it considers to be sensationalist reporting that damages Egypt's image.
