A judge in Lebanon has ordered several arrests over the devastating explosion in Beirut on August 4.
The blast killed more than 200 people and left parts of the city in ruins.
In total, 25 people are facing charges.
But, many are calling for more accountability.

is that lebanese coffin dance
Nice uniforms
Why are they doing this to the coffin?
they should really rule out the involvement of….issreal
To get rid of Hezbollah would be good start.
@Christian Khoury lol did they stop it in Iraq? In Libya? In Syria? Loll common bro
@Bob Kay Hasbara you are boasting of the explosion and expecting silent obedience from those you caused it to? Is it you theory of games? You destroy and remain unpunished and then you have a privilege to destroy and enslave anybody you want? Is it in your satanic book about theory of games?
@Renald Rivera you don’t know anything or you are the puppet of you brain washer
saeid saeidi And you are only trash making himself pseudo political expert
Add wahabis from Saudi too. They also interfered in politics of 🇱🇧. I feel bad for maronites sandwiched between the two. The real victims of the blast.
They are arresting the wrong people.
My heart goes out to the people of Lebanon
Aljazeera spread terror in Lebanon and now try to defend about it!!!
Just a Bedouin charade as usual. The snow ball keeps rolling fast downhill nevertheless.
0:14 Are they playing ?? (With a dead body inside) ??
It looks disrespectful.
Like the cuffin dancers in the memes?
no it’s a cultural thing, a sort of celebration for the person’s life. From what I’ve seen, it’s mostly done in the funerals of young people.
@Carpe Diem Yes & unexpected…
@Jen Krash BMA
Yes but those cuffin dancers, there’s no dead body inside.
*Humanity condemns it likewise Palestinians do.*
It’s so interesting that ignorant mouthbreathers in this comment section would assume that people would purposely disrespect their OWN DEAD RELATIVES whilst MOURNING them smh some of you guys need to get a life!
Shaking the coffin looks strange to US because we’re not Lebanese. I’m sure there must be some plausible explanation for it other than them being “disrespectful” to their own sons and daughters🙄
I hope the Lebanese people grow a spine and storm the government building and put all the people on trial who caused this.
I’m calling it now. Lebanon will some how blame russia for being forced to dock here and say it was Putin’s mind co troll who did a fire and america helps Lebanon.
John Huffington no I’m Lebanese and I love Putin, he’s a real man
worst thing is it could be prevented
There is nothing more disgusting than selling your own country.
0:12 what ?
the judge will let them go after a few months.
Democratically appointed mafia politicians.
Shows human sabotage may be involved.
Sabotage, look at your enemy’s.
Hizbollah is Lebanese enemies
@Bob Kay Hasbara, now you go for Belarus?
Meanwhile RT is doing its propganda run.
Why are they insulting the coffin and dead body
They became crazy
It’s shameful how we treat our dead people it’s insulting to dead peoples we should respect the dead but the way is happen it’s sad moment
Betcha whoever thought it was a good idea to have explody stuff near a city for years is regretting it now 😛
Why you didnt tell the reality?
Why shake the body of dead people like a party?
I believe it’s to celebrate the person’s life
Kapabayaan ang dahilan,, kulang sa action ang Lebanese government
Shame on the government. They all should be executed along with their families
French and FBI, investigate !????? Such a joke
Extremely sad for 🇱🇧 lebanon
Instead of listening to Macron and other Zionists and blaming it just on corruption, corrupting people’s mind by distracting them from the main culprit you can not deceive those who know!
Where and whose??? Ammonium nitrate confiscated from a Russian ship.
STOLEN from a foreign ship.
It should be handled to Hezbollah
Only solution
Refusing an International investigation, then all countries who are providing aide to Lebanon should refuse to provide aide until an International investigation is agreed upon; time to clean out the deadwood and corruption for good!!!
Typical lebos sorry but true
Thank you CIa/ mossad.
Yes
Time for a late spring cleaning…
THE Beirut blast is a classic example of what is to follow when citizens do NOTHING and allow Govt. to RUN A MUCK! I hope You are taking notes!
Did you see the tunnels of the hezbollah inside blasted crater?lebanon should arrest the true culprit of the blast the head of Hezbollah?not the wrong people as scape goats?
Lebanon should immediately make peace agreement with ISRAEL without looking to any conditions. Or else, Lebanon will not longer exist as a country and totally wipe out from the land of the living.
Respect lebanon from turkey 🇱🇧 🇹🇷
Why they’re shaking bodys?!?
Arrest little powerless man and make em pay for their head lord
Because just to save 1.5 million they destroyed the whole city worth damaging 3.8 billion dollars
Governments too busy stealing to do their job
Coffin dance
The French and Americans r trying to cover for Israel missile strike
It’s good because the explosive 🧨 cannot be used against Israel 🇮🇱
100% some lower level employees will swing for this. Not the top end of government
Headline, 4 August 2035: Lebanese government announces findings about the blast, “no one is responsible.”
lol. we investigate ourselves and we found nothing wrong. The mantra of the inept and corrupt ruling class and their institutions all over the world.
What’s this shaking the dead about ?
For people who are wondering why they are disrespecting the coffin by dancing with it, basically the idea is to give the deceased with a flamboyant and upbeat send-off instead of a solemn ceremony. Its very popular in North and west Africa also. It literally called the coffin dance. They don’t mean any harm or disrespect
If you can get rid of Hizbola do it , if not don’t exhaust yourself .
I wonder if it ever happened in the past that the coffin felt to the ground and the body inside was thrown out?
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing , how true this quote is ,I hope the people of Lebanon go all the way and purge the corruption and gangsters and murderers
Why are they shaking the coffin?
Lost there mind
Very tragic. May allah help them.
Rip🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧❤️
Why the coffin shake is it cultural thing or religious?!
Not religious
Imagine the body inside bouncing around!
In lebanon they mostly shake coffins like that if the person that died is young
Corruption all over the world is happening and i hope and pray they all locked up
The corrupt are investigating…
Why would they shake the bodies like that.
It’s crazy
European installed mafia men running countries via so called democracy 🤦🏾♂️
Shutup
Eat meat.
India’s recently moved theirs to a little tiny village of poor people. Trust Indian government to always do the right thing. I think its the norm to have stock piles like this
It should be moved to empty countryside like they do in Europe…
Ya ALLAH.
Corruption for decades!
🙏🙏🙏😪🙏🙏🙏
I se it like people think there’s no need to work because it just seams like only needy people need the money. But does that mean that these people expect rich people todo all the meat harvesting and food harvest and produce of manufacturing with out being abel to train other people to help out whilst they take time for them self? Or do they expect rich people to miss out on big opportunities to expand profits just because some people seam “needy” it’s like what about kids who got robbed and never had there parents to help them into having a good life, because if you say it’s “just too bad for them they can miss out” I’m pretty sure it’s not impossible any rich person who doesn’t approve of us helping make life better for other nice humans who need help could be as demolished as the harbour that just exploded in Beruit! That is a threat from people who don’t want life conditions to improve and it’s a threat back at who doesn’t want life conditions to improve! Basically the thing about all these displayed covid deaths are is there mostly elderly people and as far as I know all elderly people die anyway, though I do want to see people be healthy it’s not as simple as a vaccine, it requires muscular strength that we get from exersice and healthy food and working! Though it would be good to keep people with a contagious thing like covid contained and healed also all humans are a little contagious in a way I’d assume just bye the fact were all humans breathing the same air and often its the fittest is who more functional and survives so if you want to have a go at being a functional human you have to keep your self clean healthy and having strong muscles witch requires also good hygiene and things like spices and herbs and medicine that actually help stop the spread of harmful bacteria! One wrong thing I think about so much lifestyle enhancing professions being closed is that there’s products that aren’t really available like sports equipment, people are being more inactive from no stimulating activity’s like sport and also for example I went for a walk and I saw dog fecies outside a japanese restaurant and I reported it to the police, and if I never went anywhere the problem wouldn’t have been noticed just like how when we put people into work we can discover when people have problems that need fixing the very daily challenge of university education and work is a test of people’s abilities and coherent functionality and is a valuable tool for creating a person’s abilitys! I would like to work a busy rutieen of 30-60 hours of work a week followed bye some tafe and university education! Also Australia is intensely multicultural and allowing international tourism is a way to let people in Australia experience more of there culture and heritage and it’s a way international people can help work to enhance Australia whilst experiencing one on the freshest and most seamingly safe and beautiful places in existence that Australia is! But this takes work and that means trained and professional active working age people, we can’t all just have people who are rich and retiring decide what’s rite for a world they aren’t abel to work in!
The major explosion that produced a mushroom cloud was a nuke (caused most of the devestation and death) and not ammonium nitrate. Everyone is trying to push the ammonium nitrate to camouflage the truth which was a tactical nuke. there is plenty of scientific evidnece to show that ammonium nitrate must be mixed with an accelerant fuel and detonated. If the ammonium nitrate was there for years what changed to cause the explosion. I agree the government is corrupt and negligent but you must get to the truth and not use emotions.
conspiracy much ?, truth is often simple. Company that shipped it their on route had gone into liquidation so it was taken off cargo ship and stored but bureaucracy and poor leadership allowed this to happen, having the fireworks catch fire in same building was the detonator , it took several miniutes of that before it reached critical mass to set off the 2.7 tonnes. The amonium nitrate is used to make race car fuel and IRA used it with c4 as detonator, so not that hard to understand. It was no nuke .
@david stewart so quick to support this notion of ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate does not blow a twenty metre deep crater into the rock. It blows upwards. This was a missile, witnesses saw two planes and the internet has been cleaned out of any other possibility. Everyone wants to push the ammonium nitrate version before the investigation has started. Trump even said that it was an attack according to his generals. The only reason this is pushed is because there Is only one suspect.
Mark my words, no governor nor high ranking official will be convicted even though they knew. The perfect crime
Clean out the corrupt, and have honest transperant leaders only.
With laws to make them accountable if they do wrong.
And the Arabs wanted to blame Israeli people smh and I’m not Muslim nor Jewish.
Why they are shaking the coffin
All those STUPID and CRIMINAL (PIGS) POLICEMEN ATTACKING THE PERSON WHO gave warnings should be sent to GALLOWS along with the murderer politicians.
the goverment is so guilty, they new all these chemicals where stored
Within city limits think about that, it devastated all the Christian quarters of Beirut
If the Democrats win this election, we are not far behind the fate of Lebanon. Corruption is bigger than the government. It’s easy to find a scapegoat for one’s faults, but it’s not easy to manage one’s anger once innocent lives are wasted.
Prayers 🙌
I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. It isn’t right what happened and those in authority KNEW that this disaster was going to happen. It wasn’t a matter of IF, but WHEN. May GOD MIGHTILY Bless all of you. You’ve been through so much and I know your hearts are breaking…sending prayers your way and much love!
Lebanon its still Lebanon because of Hezbollah get a life and don’t talk of things uou have no knowledge
Israel?
Israel buy them peoples to do that and take advantage from them countries
LOOOOOOOOL. All because a group of backward humans still believe in some interpretation of Canaanite myths and legends. How pathetic.
That poor journalist! Screaming about it for years, make that man President!
I know i got robbed at the start of stage 4 restrictions.
Im assuming someone wanted to try prove that there’s no use my appartment having improved security just to throw an insult at me.
I know I got robbed because I know I bought a whole shelf for my bathroom that got stolen.
Also I’m pretty sure people do something like take some money from people’s account and then they hack your recent spending and just disguise the stolen money bye adding small additions to your recent spending.
It’s also likely a hack at me because I had a escort girl visit and I was sure to watch her shower on her way out because I never want any person unsupervised in my appartment ever.
They also have stolen probably a thousand dollars worth of cleaning products AND GROCERYS from my appartment in somewhere like the last few years, I’m assuming it’s some kind of CIA special forces person just trying to make a few extra pennys without causing a fuss, like how they stole my own daughter AND DIDINT LOOK AFTER HER PROPERLY ALSO!
Also usually when this happens I get put in a coma and starved so when I wake up I’m spending extra money on food and nutritional supplys for repairing my brain and body.
That is a few reasons why I hate Covid because also I usually ern $1000 a week after tax and my income was cut down to $600 a week after tax and I wouldn’t have complained but I know every MONTH people have attacked me. Also it’s bad in a way because if everyone is stuck in there house I feel like that actually supply’s less personal security to eveyone who may have been injured and has no person even notice! where if people go to work they can ern more money and also have people notice if something bad happens because of absence from work.
judges who don’t care i wonders how justice can be enforced
0:10 this should be the arab version of the coffin meme…
الديانة الشيعية المجوسية الأمامية الصفوية الحاقدة على أمة العرب ا باحوا الزناء والشذوذ المعمميين و العلماء الشيعيين في عقيدتهم هو تكثير الفسق الفساد و الكفر ليخرج مهديهم المنتظر. المجوسي الفارسي يتزوج بنته وأمه عادي الدين الشيعي دين مبتدع من صنع البشر أوجده ابن سبأ و طوره الفرس المجوس
One is left wondering about the “fireworks” that Hezbollah was storing there. It is rumored that these fireworks were sent from Iran. Iran is known to export fireworks to various conflict areas.
Money makes the world go around or world go boom?
Nuke
لا يا رياض ، ما شافوا مليون ونصف دولار بالمتفجرات
شافوا مادة تستعمل واستعملوها للاغتيال والانفجارات
ليش تخبي الحقيقة ، ما عاد عندك ضمير الان او خايف من حدا
سوف يعتقلون الصغار لكي يغطوا على الكبار
Police sealed the area? Hmm. Nice. The fire workers will be the guilty ones now. Police is allways against law, human rights, and works only for governments.
God Bless My Lebanon Firefighters!
The politicians did this on purpose to cover their trail of massive corruption and theft of billions of dollars stolen from the people.
Big dogs putting on a show for the people. Some small poor guy taking the fall for the big dogs. This country needs a revolution. At this point the people should just take over.
Why no word from the Gohnosssn?
So sad x
Mafia’s power
Corruption is stronger than Law
Clans bigger than the state
Mafia
Are these real coffins?
