Videos of an explosion in Beirut spreading widely, including from journalists. This clip is shocking - huge blast. Cause as yet unknown.
Several Lebanese outlets reporting explosion may have taken place in a fireworks warehouse. Al Jazeera's Timour Azhari told the same by a security source.
Several videos now emerging purporting to show aftermath/scale of damage. Terrible.
As always when dealing with a breaking story like this. Image
Al Arabiya rolling with devastating footage of aftermath.

A claim that BBC deliberately edited out the booing of Boris Johnson yesterday is gaining massive traction. To debunk: there is nothing sinister going on. They're replaying the earlier footage with the natural sound dipped so as not to drown out the live interview. That's it.
As someone who's worked at a news channel, I can confirm it's standard practice. The overlaid footage is known as b-roll or cover and the nat sound on it is always dipped when interviews are being conducted.
There are of course many fair criticisms that can be made of the wider British media's coverage of the jubilee in general. This isn't one of them.

More than eight years since this Onion headline was first used and no indication it will lose its relevance any time soon.

The situation in Ethiopia is the most pressing disaster in the world right now. In recent days, it has finally gotten more attention and made a splash in CNN and the NY Times.

But it needs more.
The conflict in Tigray has been going on since Nov, thousands have been killed, hundreds of thousands forced from their homes and the UN says 2 million people are in need of food aid. Rights groups have reported extra-judicial executions, rapes, looting. reports.unocha.org/en/country/eth…
Per AP, Feb 10: Reports of people already starving to death might just be a handful, but “after a month it will be in the thousands,” warned Ethiopian Red Cross president Ato Abera Tola. After two months, he said, it will be tens of thousands. apnews.com/article/ethiop…

It's always frustrating to see images go viral with no credit to the incredible photographers who take them. And it's happening with the National Guard at Capitol pics. So this remarkable image was captured by the AP's J. Scott Applewhite.
This is by AFP's @saulloeb.
Excellent one from Sarah Silbiger.
