Lebanon is in mourning after some 100 people are killed and thousands injured, in a massive explosion that rocked the country's capital on Tuesday. A huge shockwave ripped through Beirut, destroying buildings in the port district and leaving many residents without electricity. The exact cause of the disaster isn't clear though it's believed to be linked to the improper storage of explosive materials in a warehouse. Despite millions of furloughed workers returning to work in the UK the economic impact of the pandemic has seen major cities, including London, become "ghost towns."
