Egyptians have held another protest to express their anger over a controversial decision by Cairo to hand two islands to Saudi Arabia. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has faced heavy criticism for deciding to give away the strategic Red Sea islands of Tiran and Sanafir without parliamentary approval. The deal was only announced after it was done. Mohamed Shalaby reports from Cairo.
