Egypt's resort town of Sharm el Sheikh remains deserted since the crash of a Russian jetliner last October. Being a popular destination for tourists, continued depressed activity in the town is not only hurting residents but the larger Egyptian economy as it badly needs foreign exchange. And just when things were about to get better, Moscow, on Thursday, postponed a planned resumption of flights to the city indefinitely. Yasser Hakim with the story from Sharm el sheikh.
