Join the Sky News Breakfast team from 7am, as we’re live from Georgia where tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Tbilisi, kicking off a week of rolling protests against a Putinesque new law threatening press and civic freedoms.
The demonstrators see their country at a crossroads as they oppose a new "foreign agents" bill being pushed through parliament, which will face a third and final reading today.
The law would brand organisations with 20% or more of funding from abroad as "agents of foreign influence". The legislation seems to be modelled on laws used by Vladimir Putin to crack down on the media and civic groups in Russia.
If passed, the new law will make it harder for Georgia to join the European Union – the dream of many Georgians, especially the young.
