From Beirut to Paris: Two capitals in mourning
After a series deadly attacks by ISIL in both cities, what is life like on the ground?
Between Beirut and Paris, at least 172 people have been killed and hundreds injured by last week’s deadly ISIL attacks. The double suicide bombing in the Lebanese capital and the series of coordinated shootings and explosions across the French capital Paris have left local communities in shock and sadness. We talk to residents from both cities about the atmosphere on the ground and what lies ahead. Join the conversation at 19:30 GMT.
