Beirut blast: Search continues, one month on
It's exactly one month since the powerful chemical blast at Beirut's port, which killed at least 190 people and injured over 6,000 - but the search and rescue operation is still continuing.
Now a Chilean search team looking for victims says they have detected signs of possible life - possibly a small child - in a collapsed building. Their sniffer dog drew their attention to the site.
A journalist based in Beirut, Luna Safwan, gave us an update on the ongoing operation:
"The Chilean team came to Lebanon on their own expense. They are a group of volunteers, so they're not really being paid by the government to do any this."
