that led to tensions in the very heart of beirut. this is the times square of the capital of lebanon. you talk about garbage being the major reason for these protests. that's true to some extent. we saw three, four weeks ago how you could not breathe in streets of beirut, the garbage has risen so high, because are they weren't sure they could use the sites to take this trash. what we've seen by them is another attempt to pull the razor wire back. the police are not responding at this stage. this shows the sheer volume of anger on the streets it's because those politicians. >> able to find a new site for the garbage. there are talks of smells emanating from the port. a real sense of collapse, frankly and this is a government whose collecting trash was one of the minor responsibilities. this country has been without its most senior official for the long period of time, the anger on the streets, saw last year how water wasn't able available, you could physically smell the decay of the political elite in the piles of trash that were pili

i spoke to our beirut correspondent adam platz and here's what he had to say about today's visit. adam: a key difference between is --anian plan for peace and others that have tried to follow is that iran is actually involved in the conflict in syria. there have been well documented of the iranian revolutionary guard involved in the fight. a guard general was killed in an historic earlier in the year. there are -- they are supportive backers and allies of hezbollah and, indeed, of the damascus administration, the assad government itself. the same could be said in iraq, where they carry a lot of weight with shiite militias there. to the extent that they are participants, they would have to be part of the solution. whether they can actually broker peace themselves is another question. look at the four-point plan they put forward. there are several clears tumbling blocks right from the start. in the first place, they don't clearly say what the role of president assad will be in the future. secondly, they also talk about the cessation of violence, but clearly isis will not play a part
