Gunfire erupts on Beirut streets after port explosion protest

Five people have been shot dead at a protest in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, against the judge investigating last year's devastating port explosion.

Heavy gunfire erupted as supporters of the Hezbollah and Amal movements demanded Judge Tarek Bitar's removal.

Huge tension surrounds the probe into the port blast, with Hezbollah accusing the judge of unfairly singling out allied former government ministers.
