Egypt TV show suspended over 'disrespectful remarks' about women

Egyptian officials have suspended a television talk show after a guest suggested that almost a third of the country's women are unfaithful to their husbands. 

The country's media authority has banned the show for 15 days following complaints about the comments.

The guest, Tamour al-Sobky, said his comments were taken out of context. 

Other TV shows have also been suspended recently, triggering worries about freedom of speech in Egypt.
