Clashes between police and protesters in the Georgian capital Tbilisi have involved firebombs, tear gas and water cannons. On the surface, the protests have been about a bill aimed at organizations and media that receive money from abroad, it has been called “the Russian law”.

Hear about how Europe can be affected.
