US President Trump said his decision to circumvent Congress with executive orders would mean relief money getting 'rapidly distributed'.
Since Twitter is a smaller company than Microsoft, it would have a long-shot bid for TikTok and would need support of other investors to acquire this deal.
The protesters said their politicians should resign and be punished for negligence they say led to Tuesday’s blast, the biggest ever to hit Beirut, that killed 158 people and injured more than 6,000.
About 50 demonstrators were also detained by police on Friday as the activist, who identifies as a woman named Margot, was taken away in central Warsaw following a controversial court order.
