LEBANON CRISIS
LIVE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
What’s happening in Lebanon today?
At least 6 dead and more than 30 wounded after mass gunfire according to the Lebanese Red Cross.
The violence occurred as a rally – organised to demand the dismissal of the lead investigator into the Beirut explosion – took place.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Beirut Palace of Justice on Thursday calling fot the removal of the Judge who they believe is politically bias.
Gunfire was heard coming from the nearby Tayyoune neighbourhood, scattering the angry protesters.
Clashes have continued for hours. It remains unclear who the shooters are.
“The army rushed to cordon off the area and deploy in its neighbourhoods and their entrance. Patrols started as did the search for the shooters to detain them,” the armed forces said in a statement.
The PM has called for calm and warned against attempts to drag Lebanon into violence.

FA Cup: London City Lionesses vs Arsenal – Match Postponed!
Women’s FA Cup quarter-final: London City Lionesses vs Arsenal
London – update: the match has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch
This game might break the internet. Whilst we wait for the lineups to be announced, let’s take a look at the team news and stats – and we offer our lineup predictions.
WSL side Arsenal and Championship side London City will face each other in front of a sold-out crowd at Princes Park.
London City Lionesses finished Group C of the FA Cup at the pinnacle with two wins and a defeat to secure a quarter-final spot as they look to replicate their heroics from last term this year.
Arsenal Women, on the other hand, would be looking to bounce back from their shambolic defeat against West Ham as they look to book a semi-final spot and continue their domination in the competition this season with the team yet to lose a contest in the FA Cup.
Arsenal faced a shocking defeat to West Ham in their weekend WSL match, a loss that might have just ended their chances of winning the WSL title. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal bounce back from what was surely a very disappointing weekend.
Whilst Arsenal are predicted to win the game, with London City at home and in front of a sold-out crowd, maybe momentum will be on their side, and they could take advantage of a shaken Arsenal.
