Anti-government protests in Beirut

Newsday

Available for over a year

Many Lebanese blame the political elite’s negligence and corruption for Tuesday’s blast. We’re live in Beirut to speak to an activist about the latest situation in the capital and government accountability. President Trump has signed an executive order banning the Chinese-owned video sharing app, TikTok, in forty-five days' time – what’s been the reaction? And we speak to the National Coordinator of the Young Muslim Association in Nigeria as worshippers return to mosques in Lagos, following an easing of Covid-19 restrictions. The city has nearly 45,000 confirmed cases.
