The catastrophic Beirut blasts on August 4, which left more than 200 dead and 6,000 injured, have reignited anti-government protests in Lebanon. Last Sunday, thousands of protesters pelted stones in central Beirut where Lebanon's parliament is located. The demonstrations, which began peacefully, have since taken a violent turn, with police launching teargas canisters at protesters, who lobbed back firecrackers and rubble in return.

A day before, protesters stormed Lebanon's foreign, economy and environment ministries to vent their anger, Deutsche Welle reported.

Why the Beirut explosion has reignited protests

The recent explosion was caused by 2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored for six years in a warehouse in the city's port. Its negligence by officials has sparked widespread public anger, which had already been stoked over the past year due to serious economic woes.

According to a BBC report, the Beirut explosion has caused damage worth $3 billion, with the country's collective loss estimated at $15 billion. Large parts of the capital city have been devastated.

The country's economic downturn, at the centre of which has been a currency crisis, has caused large-scale closure of businesses and soaring prices of basic commodities resulting in social unrest.

Lebanon's long-running protests

The protests in Lebanon started in October 2019 after the government announced plans for new taxes during the 2020 budget season, on everything from tobacco to social media platforms like WhatsApp. Public anger escalated and expanded to wide-scale protests against an unstable economy, sectarian rule, unemployment and corruption, and also compelled a shake-up of the country's leadership.

The mass protests that went on for weeks, petered down closer to Christmas and New Year, only to restart by the middle of January. In March this year, Lebanon's government put the country in a state of emergency to combat the spread of coronavirus, closing land and seaports, and causing concerns that this would cause a further setback to an already beleaguered country. Lebanon's financial crisis resulted in a sovereign debt default and also affected its currency's value.

During the emergency, protest camps were ordered to be removed by the country's security forces and restrictions were imposed on public gatherings. The government's decision to remove these camps were interpreted by many, including sections of the country's press, as a move to suppress protests.

Another government change

Lebanon has been ruled by a political settlement that ended its 1975-1990 civil war, which distributes power and top offices among the country's Shiites, Sunnis and Christians. While this complex sectarian system has largely been able to keep the country peaceful, it has made decision-making extremely difficult, with long periods of political gridlock.

The protests last October saw the ouster of the West-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who headed a national unity government that was dominated by factions linked to the Hezbollah militant group. Now, the months-old government of PM Hassan Diab has also resigned. On Friday, Diab promised early parliamentary elections as a solution for the country's structural crisis.

Meryl Streep's Style Transformation: Photos of the Actress Over the Years - Closer Weekly

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:48 PM PDT

Fashionista! Meryl Streep has been serving her best looks on the red carpet since she entered Hollywood in the '70s. Whether it's upscale chic or her comfy street attire, this actress knows how to capture fans' hearts with the clothes she wears and we're sure Meryl will continue to be a fashion inspiration for years to come.

"Meryl has great taste and she knows what looks good on her," her stylist Amanda Ross told 303 magazine, adding Meryl has a very "contemporary" and "effortless" look. Meryl has no problem picking out clothes. In fact, you'll normally see her wearing a beautiful flowy dress to red carpet events or a nice blouse with black pants to various outings.

The Out of Africa star's style can easily be accredited to her Hollywood career. Since she's won three Oscars, nine Golden Globes and countless more awards, fans can argue she has enough cash to get the best glam squad around, and Amanda is one of the best. She even helped bring Meryl's character to life in the 2009 film It's Complicated with Alec Baldwin.

"She wore jeans, belts and accessories and she didn't look like she was trying to look like a twenty-year-old. She looked like herself," Amanda explained. "And part of the background on her character was that she had lived in Paris when she was younger, so she definitely had that sort of flair and sensibility."

After Meryl wore a number of Hermes scarves in the film, the company got a "ton of calls" from people who wanted to dress like Meryl. "She wore three in the movie. So, it's really fun, exciting to get that kind of feedback and it's so much fun to read a script, visualize the character, run around the world trying to execute it and funnel it down into the fitting," Amanda said. "It's such a fascinating process!"

In honor of Meryl's great style, scroll through the gallery below to see her transformation over the years!

PHOTOS: Indonesia's Volcano Mount Sinabung Erupts, Spewing Ash Miles High - KPBS

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:08 PM PDT

Photo caption:

Indonesia's Mount Sinabung has erupted in a dramatic plume of ash rising several miles into the sky and posing health risks to nearby residents, according to Indonesian authorities.

The volcano, located on Sumatra Island, erupted on Saturday and again on Monday, "emitting a thunderous noise and turning the sky dark," Reuters reports.

An official on the island told The Associated Press that ash and grit had piled up 2 inches thick in some abandoned villages close to the volcano.

Mount Sinabung lay dormant for 400 years before reawakening a decade ago. Since then, it has erupted multiple times, sometimes with deadly results. Many villagers have been permanently displaced.

No fatalities or injuries have been reported as a result of the latest eruption, the AP writes.

Local observatories have warned that the ash plume could disrupt aviation in the immediate area of the volcano.

Indonesia, along the seismically active "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean, is home to more than 100 active volcanoes.

Trump ushered from briefing after shooting near White House - TRT World

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:08 PM PDT

The suspect has been transferred to a local hospital after being shot by Secret Service guards. The reason for the shooting remains unclear.

President Donald Trump was abruptly escorted by a US Secret Service agent out of the White House briefing room as he was beginning a coronavirus briefing on Monday afternoon.

Trump was taken out of the room with no explanation for the disruption. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought were also taken out of the room and the doors were locked.

He returned minutes later, saying there was a "shooting" outside the White House that was "under control."

"There was an actual shooting and somebody's been taken to the hospital," Trump said. The president said the shots were fired by law enforcement, saying he believed the individual who was shot was armed. "It was the suspect who was shot," Trump said. 

"I don't know the condition of the person," the Republican president added. No one else was injured.

Unknown motive 

Trump said he knew nothing about the identity or motives of the person shot, but when asked if the person had been armed, answered: "From what I understand, the answer is yes." He said the shooting took place "pretty close" to the White House, "outside of the premises, near the fence."

Trump said he was escorted to the Oval Office by the agent. The White House was placed on lockdown following the incident as black-clad secret service agents with automatic rifles rushed across the lawn north of the White House.

The shooting took place near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue just blocks from the White House, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation who were not authorised to speak publicly about it. Law enforcement officials were still trying to determine the suspect's motive.

The suspect was transferred to a local hospital, and the District of Columbia fire department said the man suffered serious or possibly critical injuries. Authorities were investigating whether the individual has a history of mental illness.

Trump praised the work of Secret Service personnel for their work in keeping him safe and said the agency would have more details on the event later.

Asked if he was shaken by the incident, Trump asked reporters: "I don't know. Do I seem rattled?"

Lebanese government bows to protesters demands and resigns - Big News Network

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:08 PM PDT

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon's prime minister stepped down from his job on Monday in the wake of the disastrous Beirut port explosion that triggered public fury, saying he has come to the conclusion that corruption in Lebanon is "bigger than the state."

In a brief televised speech after three of his ministers resigned, Prime Minister Hassan Diab said that he is taking "a step back" so he can stand with the people "and fight the battle for change alongside them".

"I declare today the resignation of this government. May God protect Lebanon," he said, repeating the last phrase three times.

"Diab's resignation seems unlikely to appease protesters who have been calling for a complete overhaul of the country's confessional political system, said FRANCE 24's Leila Molana-Allen reporting from Beirut shortly after the prime minister's televised address.

"Protests erupted since just before Hassan Diab's speech. There had been protests even before that, but it started to get quite violent over the past half-hour," said Molana-Allen.

"Protesters seem to have lost their sense of fear, there's a fearlessness in the air now. It's clear from the reaction to Hassan Diab's resignation that they don't just want a change in government, they mean this system, under which they believe it's completely impossible to achieve a government that will actually look after the needs of the Lebanese people."

The prime minister's resignation was accepted by Lebanese President Michel Aoun, who asked the current government to stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed, a televised announcement said.

Based on past experience, such as the October 2019 resignation of Saad Hariri as prime minister, Molana-Allen explained that Diab's cabinet could "remain in place as a caretaker government and then the current parliament, which was elected in 2018, looks and tries to elect another prime minister who then puts a new cabinet together".

Anti-government protests

Diab's resignation throws Lebanon into another period of uncertainty amid urgent calls for reform. It follows a weekend of anti-government protests in the wake of the Aug. 4 explosion in Beirut's port that decimated the facility and caused widespread destruction, killing at least 160 people and injured about 6,000 others.

The moment typified Lebanon's political dilemma. Since October, there have been mass demonstrations demanding the departure of the entire sectarian-based leadership over entrenched corruption, incompetence and mismanagement.

Lebanese PM quits: 'Hassan Diab has no excuses'

But the ruling oligarchy has held onto power for so long - since the end of the civil war in 1990 - that it is difficult to find a credible political figure not tainted by connections to them.

Blame pinned on predecessors

Diab blamed corrupt politicians who preceded him for the "earthquake" that has hit Lebanon.

"They (political class) should have been ashamed of themselves because their corruption is what has led to this disaster that had been hidden for seven years," he added.

"I have discovered that corruption is bigger than the state and that the state is paralysed by this (ruling) clique and cannot confront if or get rid of it," Diab, who was a university professor at the American University of Beirut before he took the job.

Although Diab's resignation had appeared inevitable after the catastrophe, he seemed unwilling to leave and only two days ago made a televised speech in which he offered to stay on for two months to allow for various factions to agree on a roadmap for reforms. But the pressure from within his own Cabinet proved to be too much.

Lebanese PM announces government's resignation over Beirut blast

Bickering leadership

Diab's government was formed after his predecessor, Saad Hariri, stepped down in October in response to the demonstrations. It took months of bickering among the leadership factions before they settled on Diab.

His government, which was supported by Hezbollah and its allies and seen as one-sided, was basically doomed from the start, tasked with meeting demands for reform but made up of all the factions that reformers want out. Now the process must start again, with Diab's government in a caretaker role as the same factions debate a new one.

"I hope that the caretaking period will not be long because the country cannot take that. Lets hope a new government will be formed quickly," Public Works Minister Michel Najjar told reporters. "An effective government is the least we need to get out of this crisis."

The weekend protests saw clashes with security forces firing tear gas at protesters.

The explosion is believed to have been caused by a fire that ignited a 2,750-ton stockpile of highly volatile ammonium nitrate. The material had been stored at the port since 2013 with few safeguards despite numerous warnings of the danger.

The result was a disaster Lebanese blame squarely on their leadership's corruption and neglect. Losses from the catastrophic blast are estimated to be between $10 billion to $15 billion, with nearly 300,000 people left homeless.

Blast case referred to top judicial body

The last decision taken by Diab's government before its resignation was to refer the case of the explosion to the Supreme Judicial Council, which handles crimes infringing on Lebanon's national security as well as political and state security crimes. The Supreme Judicial Council is Lebanon's top judicial body.

A judge on Monday questioned the heads of the country's security agencies. Public Prosecutor Ghassan El Khoury questioned Maj. Gen. Tony Saliba, the head of State Security, according to state-run National News Agency. It gave no further details, but other generals are scheduled to be questioned.

State Security had compiled a report about the dangers of storing the material at the port and sent a copy to the offices of the president and prime minister on July 20. The investigation is focused on how the ammonium nitrate came to be stored at the port and why nothing was done about it.

Najjar, the public works minister, said he learned about the material's presence 24 hours before the blast, receiving a report about the material and holding a meeting with port officials before calling its chief, Hassan Korayetem.

"I wrote a report in the morning the explosion happened in the evening," Najjar said. Asked why he only learned of it the day before, Najjar said, "I don't know. Truly I don't know."

About 20 people have been detained after the blast, including the head of Lebanon's customs department and his predecessor, as well as the head of the port. Dozens of people have been questioned, including two former Cabinet ministers, according to government officials.

International aid

On Sunday, world leaders and international organizations pledged nearly $300 million in emergency humanitarian aid to Beirut, but warned that no money for rebuilding the capital would be made available until Lebanese authorities commit themselves to the political and economic reforms demanded by the people.

Iran, meanwhile, expressed concern that Western countries and their allies might exploit anger over the explosion to pursue their political interests. Iran supports the Hezbollah militant group, which along with its allies dominates the government and parliament.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said "it is natural for people to be frustrated". But he said it would be "unacceptable if some individuals, groups and foreign countries use the incident as a pretext for their purposes and intentions."

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz drew a line Monday between the blast and claims that Hezbollah stores its rockets and weapons deep inside civilian areas.

While he did not accuse Hezbollah and its arms of being linked to the blast, Gantz said villages and towns across Lebanon were packed with Hezbollah arms that, if set off - whether by Israeli operations or by accident - would destroy homes. He said Hezbollah was Lebanon's biggest problem.

Trump says he is inclined to host G7 meeting after the November 3 election - Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he is interested in hosting a Group of Seven summit in a "calmer atmosphere" after the November presidential election, and that he has not decided whether to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In May as the coronavirus pandemic was spreading, Trump postponed a G7 summit he had hoped to hold in June until September or later, and said he hoped to expand the list of invitees to include Australia, Russia, South Korea and India.

"I'm much more inclined to do it sometime after the election. ... We could do it through teleconference or we could do it through a meeting," the Republican president said at White House news conference.

Trump, who is trailing Democratic candidate Joe Biden in opinion polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election, said he had decided on the new time frame because it would provide a "better, calmer atmosphere to have a G7."

Trump gave no specific date and said no invitations had been sent out.

Asked whether he would invite Putin, Trump said: "I don't know but we have invited a number of people to the meeting. I certainly would invite him to the meeting."

In a telephone conversation on June 1, Trump and Putin discussed "progress toward convening the G7," according to the White House.

The G7 includes Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Japan and Canada in addition to the United States. Russia was expelled from the then so-called G8 group in 2014 after annexing the Crimea region from Ukraine.

Actor Hugh, who has known Jessica since their university days, shared his memories of Karen and said how proud she was of her daughter.

'We've helped each other through our lives changing in so many ways. Our wins and highs met extreme lows sometimes, but we always made it through,' he wrote.

'I can't tell you how s**t I feel knowing I can't hug you right now. To have distance between us when I want to be with you,' added Hugh, who lives in Los Angeles.

'I love you, Jess. I'll be back very soon and I will hug you for a very long time (after I get lot of quarantine).'

Hugh also quoted The Road Not Taken by poet Robert Frost, adding the hashtags #YouHaveMadeAllTheDifference, #LongLiveOurQueen and #LongMayWeContinue.

In 2011, Jessica told News.com.au that she was haunted by her father's death, and lived in fear of losing other loved ones in the same way.

But she credited her mother with helping the family 'pull through a very hard time'.

The Logie winner, 35, added: 'It's sort of something you relive I think, everyone that has lost someone... you relive it every day. It feels fresh, but obviously time does heal a lot of wounds and I'm definitely much better at coping with it now.'

Four months ago, emergency crews were called to her home in Sydney's eastern suburbs for a welfare check.

On the afternoon of Saturday, May 2, she was walked to an ambulance where she was put on a gurney and taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick.

Fortunately, she appeared happy and healthy several weeks later as she spent time with Hugh and other supportive friends.

That month, her former Rafters co-star Rebecca Gibney addressed Jessica's personal issues and departure from the Packed to the Rafters reboot.

The New Zealand actress revealed that while Jessica had her 'struggles', she would inevitably bounce back and 'surprise them all' both personally and professionally.

Rebecca told TV Week: 'She is doing really well and I'm in constant contact with her. She is truly one of those unique talents!'

In 2014, Jessica spoke about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

'I was diagnosed at one point with bipolar. I have developed ways to talk myself down from any ledges I find myself on,' she told The Australian Women's Weekly.

'There's probably one day a month when I am an absolute mess. In my case it's hard to separate what is due to trauma or stress and what is due to a simple chemical imbalance.'

Upcoming: While Jessica has bowed out of Back to the Rafters, Rebecca (second from left) is preparing to film new scenes for the show, which is set six years after Packed to the Rafters' final season aired in 2013

‘In The Air Tonight’ Climbs Up Music Charts After Video Of Teens Listening To 1981 Phil Collins Song Goes Viral - Deadline

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:47 PM PDT

Nearly 40 years after dropping his famed song "In The Air Tonight," Phil Collins is climbing up music charts again thanks to a viral YouTube video.

The song scaled up to the iTunes Top Songs chart last week, landing at No. 3, behind Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B's "WAP" and Darius Rucker's "Beers and Summer." The number's recent rise in the charts comes nearly two weeks after its iconic drum break was the subject of a video from YouTubers Fred and Tim Williams.

"That was cool, that was cool," the 22-year-old twins said of the famous beat. "I have never seen nobody drop a beat three minutes in the song."

Fred and Tim Williams, who run the Twinsthenewtrend YouTube channel, have been filming their reactions listening to a number of hits for the first time. Their July 27 video has since gone viral, gaining the attention of Ava Duvernay, Mindy Kaling and others.

The twins told CNN that their channel, which mainly focuses on their reactions to hip-hop songs, pivoted when they decided to listen to Frank Sinatra. Since the switch, Fred and Tim Williams have recorded reaction videos to Dolly Parton's "Jolene," Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and even Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

"We're Black, and they don't expect us to listen to that type of music," Fred told CNN.

"We're young, too," Tim added. "It's just rare to see people open these days. People don't open to step outside their comfort zone and just react to music they don't know."

In the 2009 comedy smash The Hangover, boxing legend Mike Tyson famously air-drummed the "In the Air Tonight" break — "here's my favorite part" — and sang along before slugging poor Zack Galifianakis. The track, which made the pop Top 20, also famously was featured in the first episode of Miami Vice in 1984. Collins himself would play a sleazeball grifter in a Season 2 episode of the NBC cop drama.

Lukaku breaks two more records in Inter's Europa League clash with Bayer Leverkusen - Goal.com

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:42 PM PDT

Romelu Lukaku's fine debut campaign at Inter continued when he broke two more records during their Europa League quarter-final against Bayer Leverkusen on Monday.

The Belgium international swept home the Nerazzurri's second goal of the night in Dusseldorf to take his tally in all competitions to 31.

In doing so he became the player to score in nine successive Europa League or UEFA Cup matches, breaking the record of eight he previously shared with Newcastle's Alan Shearer 2005. He is also the first player to score in six successive European matches for Inter.

Article continues below

In an eventful opening 45 minutes, Lukaku also had a role in Inter's opener after 16 minutes, with his blocked shot landing in the path of Nico Barella, who fired the ball home through a crowd of players.

Lukaku then showed great strength to hold off Edmond Tapsoba, before somehow turning and squeezing the ball home as he was falling to the floor.

Leverkusen brought themselves back into the game before the break when Chelsea target Kai Havertz powered the ball beyond Samir Handanovic from inside the area after a neat one-two with Kevin Volland.

Lukaku is already enjoying the best goalscoring season of his career, having eclipsed the 27 goals he scored for Manchester United in the 2017-18 campaign with two goals during Inter's Serie A win at Genoa last month.

That double took his away tally for the season to 15, the first Inter player to score that many goals away from home in 70 years, equalling the record set by Stefano Nyers during the 1949-50 campaign. 

By hitting the 30-goal mark, Lukaku also became the first Inter striker to score that many goals since Samuel Eto'o in 2010-11 , when the striker famously netted 37 times just one season as Inter claimed an historic treble.

Should Inter hold on for the win they will face either Shakhtar Donetsk or FC Basel in the semi-finals as they look to end the campaign on a high.

Their season so far has been one of near misses, with Antonio Conte's side reaching the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia before finishing second in Serie A, one point behind nine-time champions Juventus.

Trump evacuated from briefing after shooting outside White House - CNBC

Posted: 10 Aug 2020 06:08 PM PDT

President Donald Trump was abruptly evacuated from a press briefing on Monday evening just minutes after he began speaking because of a shooting outside the White House.

"There was an actual shooting, and somebody has been taken to the hospital. I don't know the condition of the person," Trump told reporters after returning to the White House briefing room about nine minutes later.

"It was the suspect that was shot," Trump added. He said that no one else was injured but that it was his understanding that the suspect had been armed.

The shooting took place near the White House fence, Trump said. 

Law enforcement officials later said that an unidentified man was shot in the chest by a Secret Service uniformed division officer. Officials did not say why the man was shot, or whether he was armed.

The man was taken to George Washington University Hospital while unconscious, according to officials.

The Secret Service in a statement said that it could "confirm there has been an officer involved shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. Law enforcement officials are on the scene."

The agency, which is responsible for protecting the president and his family, said more information would be released.

The briefing room was placed on lockdown immediately after the president exited, according to a pool report.

The press conference was interrupted almost as soon as it began after an aide approached the president and appeared to tell him that he would have to step outside.

Trump followed the aide out of the room and sheltered in the Oval Office, he said.

"I feel very safe with Secret Service, they're fantastic people, they're the best of the best, they're highly trained," the president said.

Trump said that he was not shaken by the incident. 

"I don't know, do I seem rattled?" he said when a reporter asked if he was rattled.

"The world has been, you look back over the centuries, the world has been a dangerous place, a very dangerous place."

The president then returned to briefing reporters on the state of the economy after taking questions on the shooting, touting the rising stock market

“ポスト・相武紗季”駒井蓮が単独初主演 故郷・青森が舞台の映画「いとみち」 - サンケイスポーツ

"ポスト・相武紗季"駒井蓮が単独初主演 故郷・青森が舞台の映画「いとみち」 - サンケイスポーツ

2020.8.11 05:00(1/2ページ)

相武と同じく感情表現が豊かと評判の駒井。今後ブレークすること必至だ【拡大】

 パナソニックのCMなどで知られる新進女優でモデル、駒井蓮(19)が、故郷・青森を舞台にした映画「いとみち」(横浜聡子監督、来年公開)で単独初主演を飾ることが10日、分かった。内気な女子高生がメイドカフェのアルバイトを通じて成長する物語で、父親役には豊川悦司(58)が決定。"ポスト・相武紗季"の呼び声も高い駒井。キュートなメイド姿に「萌(も)え~」なファンが急増しそうだ。

 実生活では慶大文学部在学中。清潔感と知性あふれる駒井が故郷に錦を飾る。

 原作は作家、越谷オサム氏の同名青春小説。人見知りで、泣き虫、友人もいない青森県弘前市の女子高生、相馬(そうま)いとが、メイドカフェのアルバイトをきっかけに成長する姿を描く。そこで主演に抜てきされたのが、駒井だ。

 初々しい演技が話題をよんだ大塚製薬「ポカリスエット」(2014年)をはじめ、最近ではパナソニックのキャンペーン「Every Day is a Sunny Day」、「いのりの老舗 はせがわ」など数々のCMに出演する注目株。えくぼのできる笑顔などが事務所の先輩女優、相武紗季(35)とそっくりと評判。製作サイドは駒井の起用理由について「津軽弁を話せるのが決め手。むくな印象も重なった」と説明する。

 駒井は劇中、メイド姿で「お帰りなさいませ、ご主人様~」と甘え声を出す一方、主人公の特技である津軽三味線も披露。自身は歌もピアノ、ギター演奏も好きだが、津軽地方・平川市出身とはいえ津軽三味線を弾いた経験がない。今年初めからプロの先生に習い、特訓を続ける毎日だ。
