Elections in Lebanon: Will things change?

BBC World Service - Newshour, Elections in Lebanon: Will things change?

A country marred by financial and political turmoil

This is Lebanon's first set of elections since a massive currency crisis in 2019 and a devastating fertiliser warehouse explosion at the Port of Beirut that killed at least 215 people in August 2020.

Also on the programme: Yet another targeted mass shooting of black people in the United States, we hear from Buffalo in New York; and winning the Eurovision song contest - what does it mean for Ukraine?
