Nick, have things calmed down . I know you said the piles of trash, thats really just the beginning of the problem that people are upset about. Reporter well, i mean have things calmed down . Hard to tell more broadly. The police have taken the move now to head toward the remnants of the protesters who are behind me further down that road here and they fired a lot of tear gas at them. At one point charging towards them actually. I can see, i think its police, now making another rush chasing protesters away from a side street too. Theyre very much on the advance using tear gas to assist that. How do we get here . Lebanon has been a mess politically for decades many argue.
