Security forces deployed as protesters in Lebanon seek to prevent a parliamentary session from taking place
The Lebanese flag hangs on barbed wire blocking a road leading to the parliament building in downtown Beirut on November 18, 2019.
Banks reopened for the first time in a week after announcing temporary steps, such as a weekly cap of $1,000 on withdrawals of hard currency and transfers abroad limited to urgent personal expenses, in moves to prevent capital flight. Riot police scuffled with a group of protesters who were trying to use a cable to remove a barbed-wire barricade blocking a road near parliament, a Reuters witness said.
"How are they holding a session and not responding to the people? Those that are in the session have nothing to do with us, and it's not what we asked for," said a protester who gave her name as Maria.
