Clean up volunteers call for 'fall of regime' during Macron visit

French President Emmanuel Macron is in the neighbourhood of Gemmayze, which has been completely devastated by the Beirut blast. 

MEE correspondent Kareem Chehayeb is at the scene and says that volunteers who had been clearing up the debris have gathered around Macron, chanting "the people want the fall of the regime" and calling Lebanese President Michel Aoun a terrorist. 

Macron, responding to them, vowed to present a new political pact for Lebanon this afternoon, when he meets senior officials.
