Police have faced all sorts of challenges in recent years but up and attack of such extreme violence is rare and will be troubling to many here. I spoke to andrew, close to the highway of what happened. That manhunt is still under way and at least 200 French Police looking for the gang involved and we dont know exactly how many men were involved in i can see at least two firing on the police man in the incident and the police man in the incident and the lawyer for the man who was released from prison, the prison van said earlier today that he was shocked he did not believe his client knew about the incident but if he had known her and organised this extraordinary ambush, then he was much bigger criminal than he was already in for being. In a sense of uncertainty from that side but also from the French Police here have been taken by surprise by the brazenness of this ambush. In georgia, protesters have been clashing with riot police and lets take a look. Protesters are angry because mps inside passed a foreign influence law saying it will be used to clampdown on dissent and opposition in georgia. Similar laws used in russian. Take a look at the picture inside and their clashes and their clashes inside the actual chamber and the new law is insisted to be necessary for the sovereignty of georgia. Where this is all taking place, and the collapsing soviet union, and Independence Day back in 1991 and since then, concerned and aspirations tojoin nato 1991 and since then, concerned and aspirations to join nato and the eu. Lets take a look at the live pictures and can still see hundreds of protesters still out on the streets and it looks a little calmer now than earlier on in no direct clashes with scenes of police but still plenty of protesters out in the capital and also in the capital. The showdown between police and protesters has been brewing for sometime. Angry that the government was supposed to pass a foreign agents law, ryan police are out on the main avenue and violence felt inevitable. It looks a police from the borders to discuss the protesters and the protesters are beginning to brew they been pushed away from this. Protesters said the legislation was passed by the kremlin and they said no to russian law and said they fear it puts the countries European Dreams and doubt. I feel like this law is going to destroy the European Future that this country has been fighting for. I think young people will have the possibility to make this law happened and they have used today to renew violence already and tonight as well. We renew violence already and tonight as well. ~ , as well. We will be in the eu. Tensions as well. We will be in the eu. Tensions are as well. We will be in the eu. Tensions are also as well. We will be in the eu. Tensions are also running as well. We will be in the eu. | tensions are also running high as well. We will be in the eu. Tensions are also running high in parliament, lawmakers and a must for all but the result was never in doubt. After being defeated last year this time around, the ruling party fought their way and, they will veto the law but the vote to overturn it. And protesters remain on the streets and defend their country is freedom and they will not give up on georgia possible as European Dreams.

Georgia is now the country that can be named after the State Capture and capture by this one person who is wrongly labelled as a oligarch, he is not influencing the georgia politics and the government and everyone who voted for this law is very clear. And the problems that he has more than 80 of the population of georgia wants the eu, wants the structures and definitely its an impediment to this road and it was very important that that laws very similar to what russia introduced and similar laws for other countries and similar laws for other countries and areas around russia where russia believes that theres a huge influence on the government. That is why it is named as a russian law by the opposition. Bgs why it is named as a russian law by the opposition why it is named as a russian law by the opposition. 80 of the people in geora ia, the opposition. 80 of the people in georgia.

Georgia, they want to become members of the eu and this is a block to that, how does this resolve itself . It would not resolve itself for sure. And massive diplomatic airports and the rest of our lives in georgia as he speak, the numbers of european mps and georges and the officials and Foreign Ministers from the neighbouring area are going to visit georgia soon and theyre going to try to find a solution and the georgian government and its leadership surely declares that theyve made this decision and label at the west as a party of war and parenting Vladimir Putins words and stronger statements but actually very comprehensive actions from the eu, the United States and those who care about democracy in georgia.
