a political class that has been in power for decades a political class that people here believe are corrupt and are responsible for driving lebanon's economy into the ground this is only on one side of the square 2 hours ago we were on the other side of the square where anti-government protesters were not facing off with the military but with supporters of the ruling alliance supporters of the ruling alliance did try to storm the main square where anti-government protesters were camped out and. the army had to sound in between the people at the divide is the tensions are high you can see the security forces trying to push away the pro-government anti-government protesters from the square so they can no longer try says storm government

buildings so seize like this have been playing else in the lebanese capital over the past few months economic conditions are only worsening anger is growing and really is a call to action today was was an attempt to relate to the revive this movement and to remind those in power that's quote their so-called revolution is still alive and it hasn't gone away. mourners are preparing to attend a 2nd memorial service for george florida this time in north carolina where he was born the hearse carrying his body has arrived at a church in race that the casket will be on public display before a private family service the 46 year old died after police arrested him 12 days ago in minneapolis and that's what protests about police brutality both new u.s. and worldwide let's cross over to our white house correspondent kelly help get the obvious the demonstrations across the u.s. so the president has canceled his weekend to focus on that.
