OVERNIGHT IN GEORGIA: Extraordinary scenes out of Tbilisi overnight and into the early morning, as protesters took to the streets bearing EU flags and chanting “Down with the Russian law.” Thousands of Georgians faced off against riot police, after the parliament passed the first reading of a Kremlin-inspired law that would require organizations that get more than 20 percent of their funding from overseas to register as “foreign agents.”

Anglo American paw prints everywhere.
