Lebanon is in mourning after a huge explosion in the capital Beirut killed at least 100 people and injured more than 4,000 others on Tuesday. The whole city was shaken by the blast, which began with a fire at the port which exploded into a mushroom cloud. President Michel Aoun said 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate had been stored unsafely in a warehouse for six years. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate He scheduled an urgent cabinet meeting for Wednesday, and said a two-week state of emergency should be declared. The country will observe an official period of mourning for three days from Wednesday. President Aoun also announced that the government would release 100 billion lira (£50.5m; $66m) of emergency funds.

"There are victims and casualties everywhere." "Over 100 have lost their lives. Our teams are still conducting search and rescue operations in the surrounding areas," the Lebanese Red Cross added in a statement on Wednesday. Lebanon: Why the country is in crisis Officials said that an investigation was under way to find the exact trigger for the explosion. Lebanon's Supreme Defence Council said those responsible would face the "maximum punishment" possible. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/airbus-scandal-interpol-issues-arrest-warrant-for-samuel-adam-mahama-over-role-in-bribery The ammonium nitrate had reportedly been unloaded from a ship impounded at the port in 2013, and then stored in a warehouse there. The explosion comes at a sensitive time for Lebanon, with an economic crisis reigniting old divisions as the country struggles with the coronavirus crisis. Tensions are also high ahead of Friday's verdict in a trial over the killing of ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video What happened? The explosion occurred just after 18:00 (15:00 GMT) on Tuesday. A BBC journalist at the scene reported dead bodies and severe damage, enough to put the port of Beirut out of action. Local media showed people trapped beneath rubble. A witness described the explosion as deafening, and video footage showed wrecked cars and blast-damaged buildings. The explosion blew out windows miles away "All the buildings around here have collapsed. I'm walking through glass and debris everywhere, in the dark," one witness near the port told AFP news agency. Hospitals were said to be overwhelmed and many buildings were destroyed. The blast was also felt 240km (150 miles) away on the island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean, with people there saying they thought it was an earthquake. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video 'Hard to imagine a worse time for this to happen' Their sirens wailing, ambulances inched their way through heavy traffic to get to the site of the blast. Shards of glass blanketed the highway leading into Beirut from the north, as a tractor cleared the rubble. There's never a good time for such terror to strike a city, but for Beirut, it's hard to imagine a worse time than this. With Covid-19 infections on the rise, hospitals were struggling to cope. Now, they're faced with thousands of injuries and expecting thousands more. Hundreds are now displaced; their homes reduced, in a split second, to a twisted, uninhabitable mess of glass and debris. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video Lebanon imports most of its food; its economy has been in freefall for almost a year, amid fears of widespread food insecurity to come. Now all the grain that was stored in the port is gone. In fact, Beirut port itself "is no more", one official said. Even after the shock fades away, the impact will be hard to fathom. 'Glass going down from all over the building' Hadi Nasrallah, eyewitness speaking to the BBC READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video I saw the fire, but I didn't yet know there was going to be an explosion. We went inside. Suddenly I lost my hearing because apparently I was too close. I lost my hearing for a few seconds, I knew something was wrong. And then suddenly the glass just shattered all over the car, the cars around us, the shops, the stores, the buildings. Just glass going down from all over the building. Literally all over Beirut, people were calling each other from different areas kilometres away and they were experiencing the same thing: broken glass, buildings shaking, a loud explosion. Actually we were shocked because usually when it happens, just one area will experience those happenings after an explosion, but this time it was all of Beirut, even areas outside of Beirut. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video Sunniva Rose, journalist "Driving into Beirut early evening when it was still light, it was absolute chaos. The streets were literally covered in glass. It's hard for ambulances to go through - there's bricks, cement slabs. Houses have collapsed. "When I got to the port it had been closed off by the army. The army said to stay away in case there was a second explosion. "There was still smoke going up into the sky late into the evening. The whole city was black. It was very hard to walk around, people were covered in blood. I saw an 86-year-old woman being treated by a doctor who had just run out of his home with a first aid kit. Cars were entirely smashed by rocks. These old-style houses with big cuts of rock had just fallen down on the street. "It's pandemonium in my own flat, all the glass is shattered. The extent of the damage is extreme. Even in a mall 2km away - the whole facade was shattered."

Ammonium nitrate has a number of different uses, but the two most common are as an agricultural fertiliser and as an explosive. It is highly explosive when it comes into contact with fire - and when it explodes, ammonium nitrate can release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides and ammonia gas. An ammonium nitrate explosion can release toxic gases Because it's so flammable there are strict rules on how to store ammonium nitrate safely - among the requirements are that the storage site needs to be thoroughly fire-proofed, and there can't be any drains, pipes or other channels in which ammonium nitrate could build up, creating an additional explosion hazard. What's the situation in Lebanon? Lebanon is experiencing political turmoil, with street demonstrations against the government's handling of the worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/airbus-scandal-interpol-issues-arrest-warrant-for-samuel-adam-mahama-over-role-in-bribery Many blame the ruling elite who have dominated politics for years and amassed their own wealth while failing to carry out the sweeping reforms necessary to solve the country's problems. People have to deal with daily power cuts, a lack of safe drinking water and limited public healthcare. The port has been largely destroyed by the blast There has also been tension on the border with Israel, which said last week that it had thwarted an attempt by Hezbollah to infiltrate Israeli territory. But a senior Israeli official has told the BBC that "Israel has no connection" to the Beirut blast. The blast happened close to the scene of the huge car bombing which killed ex-PM Hariri. Tuesday's blast also came days before the long-awaited verdict in the trial at a special court in the Netherlands of four men accused of orchestrating the attack. Source: BBC

I’ve had many types of relationships with women of many ages and from some parts of the country. Because of this, I would like to think that by now, I know what to look for in a woman even though I’m not married. If the woman by your side has these 13 qualities and behaviours, you know you have found the one. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/stop-hiding-behind-dirty-politics-some-of-you-are-naturally-dirty-brigette-dzogbonuku Men love women who are smarter than them: When you are looking for a partner for life, make sure that she is smart. Ideally, she should be smarter than you. The idea is that a smart partner never stops challenging you intellectually, which helps you keep your mental faculties keen forever. Men love women who are honest: Everyone makes mistakes and bad decisions sometimes. This makes it even more important to have someone who can get you back on track and tell you when you are wrong. Studies show that men want to have an honest partner by their side when they look for a long term committed relationship. If you have found a woman like that, never let her go again. Men like attention too: Act like you to want to be with him; surprise him. Men love surprises, but it seems that these days, men usually only give them to women. By surprises, I mean anything from buying him something he wants to initiating sex. When he least expects it, grab his junk or start performing oral very few things are sexier than when your girlfriend is feeling frisky. Never tell a man that a guy from your past was hotter or that you had a better connection with your ex. Always play to his ego; it’s a win-win. READ ALSO:Read also: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dr-paa-kwesi-nduom-is-disappointed-in-npp-brigette-dzogbenuku-discloses Men love when women who has a positive outlook: Is your girlfriend the type of person who always sees the glass as half full? Could you sometimes even accuse her of naïve optimism? Then you might have found the woman of your dreams. Because look at it this way: Negative people are toxic and bad for our health in the long run. Men love when women get a little jealous. Just a little jealousy to show you care is a turn-on for guys. Also, defend him always! Not only is it attractive, it’s also crucial for maintaining a close bond. When you have issues or problems, do not tell your friends or family because it’ll tarnish their opinions of him, which ultimately, won’t be ideal for you. It makes your man out to be the bad guy and if he finds out that you aired his dirty laundry, he’ll be uncomfortable around these people later. Women may love to vent, but keep it under control. Men want 100 percent of a woman: Be open. If you give him 100 percent of yourself, he’s more likely to reciprocate; the better a girl treats me, the better I treat her. Remember, ladies, having a guy bang you is not an accomplishment; having him want to be with you on the other hand, is. The scientists say that those willing to take the steps and make the sacrifices will have a long and happy marriage. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate Men want a lady who laughs at their jokes: Of course we always want someone by our side who actually laughs at our jokes. If you have already found a woman you can laugh with, make sure to take good care of her. Men want a lady who supports their goals and pursues her own: A strong woman by your side will motivate you and won’t be dependent on you. You don’t need to worry about her and she won’t need your constant validation. A weak person often tends to forget his or her own goals. These people don’t just prioritise the goals of their partners, they tend to co-opt them completely. You need a healthy combination of personal goals and goals you pursue together. Men want a lady who has a good relationship with her parents: If you want to know what your partner will be like in 30 years, look at their parents… If you want to know how they will treat you in 30 years, look at how they treat their parents now, but this doesn’t mean that her relationship with her parents always needs to be perfect. Understanding your contribution to the relationship with your parents would be important to recognising any tendency to replicate behaviour, positive or negative in an intimate relationship. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate Men want a lady who does foolish things with them: Have you found a woman who does not hold it against you if you stayed out too long partying? In most cases because she was at the party with you? Then never let her go again. Men want a lady who has a life of her own: Having your own space and privacy is even more important for your relationship than a good sex life. This has been shown by a long term study of the University of Michigan. “When individuals have their own friends, their own set of interests, when they are able to define themselves not by their spouse or relationship, that makes them happier and less bored,” Terry Orbuch, author of the study, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Men want a lady who accepts their flaws: Too many relationships only seem to consist of one partner criticizing the other. Their ugly pants, their bad jokes, their annoying habit of chewing too loudly, you get the picture. If you have found a woman who can just accept you, you should consider yourself lucky. “An optimistic approach will rub off on you and attract you to others who are seeing the world as half full,” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate Men want a lady who does not bear grudges: If you found a woman who can forgive others, you will have her by your side for a long time. Study says people who can unconditionally forgive others live longer lives. Forgiveness is the foundation of a healthy relationship. People are not perfect and neither are you. There will be times when you inadvertently do something that hurts your partner. And then you will need her to be able to forgive you. If you have found a woman who has some or all of these qualities, treat her well and never let her go. Your life will be better for having her.
