What's Next for Lebanon?
Protests roll on in Lebanon against a Government seen as corrupt and out of touch.
On Monday the Prime Minister agreed to a series of concessions including withdrawing new taxes and halving politician's salaries.
But will it be enough to take the people off the streets?
It's too early to tell. Eliza thinks the Government will probably hold on but the political class has been shocked by the spontaneous protests.
Also on this episode, Geraldine renovates her kitchen.
And the best books of the 21st century.
