Guardian Genius 201 - Last One

Many answers need to be manipulated, but I have solved them already. This is just a straight cryptic clue, with no manipulation.

10a Communicating concern about country lacking leadership, one visits capital. (6)
I have _ E _ R _ T.
I think the answer is Beirut (capital) and I can see "But" (communicating concern) and that leaves Eir..........??

I could be miles off track and it may not be Beirut!

Many thanks

If you remove the leading letter from EIRE (the Republic of Ireland), that leaves IRE.

Beirut - 'BT' (communicating concern, about) 'i' (one, in) '(P)eru'

Many thanks to you both LIK and TCL. The Corbyloon, you and I were thinking the same way, but that was the wrong way round.

I like L-I-K's answer

Many thanks to both
