R iot police in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi have moved in to clear thousands of people demonstrating through the night against a proposed law. The protesters oppose the controversial foreign influence bill, described by critics as the "Russia law". Georgian MPs will hear the third and final reading of the bill on Monday.

Georgia’s parliament green-lit a final vote on a proposed law that critics see as a threat to media freedom and the country’s aspirations to join the European Union, after police dispersed the latest protests against it over the weekend.
