Once celebrated as a commercial hub of the Eastern Mediterranean, a center of finance, education, tourism, and cultural life, Lebanon has instead become a case study in economic collapse and political paralysis. Over the past several years, ordinary citizens have watched their currency disintegrate, and economy worsens.

Nothing is more dangerous for a state than a passing economic crisis, except the moment when the absence of the rule of law becomes the norm, when slander replaces truth and defamation takes the place of accountability. At that point, it is not investment alone that collapses; the very idea of the state begins to unravel. What Lebanon is experiencing today is neither a media debate nor a personal dispute. It is a decisive test of whether the rule of law still exists.

The first portrait of King Charles since he took the throne has been revealed.
Painted in oils by artist Alastair Barford, the image depicts His Majesty wearing a blue suit, white shirt, pink tie and pocket square with his hand resting casually in his jacket pocket.
Though not an official portrait, it is the first commissioned portrait of the King to be unveiled since he became monarch.
Mr Barford said he wanted to capture a "personal and intimate" image of His Majesty, which is why he depicted him in a suit rather than ceremonial robes.
The 35 year old, who also painted the late Queen in 2015, completed the portrait in just two weeks, which he described as a "huge challenge".
He added: "I wished to capture his warmth and sensitivity, the empathy which came across in his interactions with the people he met. It was important that I captured a sympathetic expression."
The King didn't sit for the portrait, but Mr Barford captured his likeness from photos and sketches he took of His Majesty at a Buckingham Palace reception in February.
It is set to be the cover image on the Illustrated Coronation Edition magazine, published by Illustrated London News on 30 March.
