France's President Emanuel Macron told angry protesters that French aid will not go to "corrupt hands" while announcing that he would seek a new political pact in Lebanon.
"I guarantee you this - aid will not go to corrupt hands," Macron told protesters in central Beirut.
"I will talk to all political forces to ask them for a new pact. I am here today to propose a new political pact to them."
