BBC World Service - Newshour, Emergency aid pledged to Lebanon

Global players offer Lebanon relief cash - but say further aid conditional on reform.

A summit to provide humanitarian relief to Lebanon in the wake of Tuesday's deadly explosion raises cash - but will it reach those in greatest need? We hear from regional expert Lina Khatib, and speak to a doctor about his harrowing experiences after the blast.

Also in the programme: an update on a critical election in Belarus; and the plight of British restaurants during the pandemic.
