river in south east in brazil, if killed 19 people and left hundreds homeless georgians heading to the polls. the parliamentary elections, which could be crucial for the former soviet republics. future. many see vote has a make or break moment for the countries chances of joining the european union. the pro russian ruling georgia dream potty is also threatens to ban opposition policies . if it's a key was another victory. brussels has warned repeatedly that the government's increasing authoritarianism jeopardizes its trances of new membership. the edi i spoke to w correspondent, medea cut him upset, who is following the election for us from george's capital tbilisi. as you told me that many george and see the votes as a choice between europe and russia. indeed, this elections are seen as a referendum between russia and europe, especially after the government has introduced earlier these. yeah,

and the so called for an agent failed that sparked mass pro, you protesting this country on the sort of the growing dissatisfaction with the government actions that many critics here see as leaning towards moscow. and it sort of implementing the policies that are alienating many people west and, and for european georges from the they are choice which actually isn't trained in georgia and constitutions west and sort of the you, you are plastic through directory. and that's why is this seems so crucial now the pro western president solomon's that are bush, really we had a brief exchange with her at the supporting station. she told us that she's confident that the pro european opposition forces would win this election. she saw that still there's no going to be losers at this elections because the, suggesting that the so the viewer p and future ease, ease for good of everyone in this country. indeed, i'm

a poll show that around 80 percent of georgians actually wanted to join you. but as you also mention to the ruling a georgian dream, a party seems to be leading towards moscow. nevertheless, it is quite popular. can you explain that of the uh yes indeed, georgia dream party is leading into the polls. uh, whatever polls we take pro, a commission by government institutions or commission by additional channels. uh, that's the reality as of now. uh, but uh, we should also mentioned that the georgians in government is framing this election is a bit differently. they say that this is a choice between war and peace with russia. so to your question about the sort of european rectory of pro european and rhetoric that we've been hearing some of the georgia into comments. yes, they claim that the, the georgia will be part of the you by 20 sachi. however,

brussels has side that ga, ga, and government's actions are not taking the georgia closer and has, as mentioned frozen the you integration. but the, it's very unpopular here to states in this country that you're not the pro european force. and that's why the critics say that the government is using it as a false front to sort of gain electrons. so maybe, i mean, uh if, if the georgia dream party says it's a choice between peace and war, how strong then is rushes influence on these connections. there, there were several, several reports by the investigation investigative during the last suggesting that russia has input infiltrated key is to choose students in this country as such as central election community for the ministry of profess. but the minister of foreign affairs, sorry. and now, uh, 2 days ahead of the elections, we seemed the rates in the homes of the research shows here in georgia,

watching for american sync tags that have been sort of uncovering russian, this information tactics in this country. and now trade fi goes with the russia has been rising and the georgia has been accused. however, the government is denying it seems to be also sort of helping russia. so combined the sanctions of so called power of import. uh, so come strongly economically. we can definitely see on the ground the sort of the, uh, the connections there. um, but uh still uh, i mean it's, it's, it's still early to, to, to, to sort of judge and the, i think that at the end of the day we'll have much more information about rights dw, corresponding money. i cut them out. so they are reporting for us from georgian capital tbilisi. thank you so very much, maria, durham, and johnson. what, what i show is dropping off a 3 day visits to india. ange, it's strengthening ties between your that's the biggest economy of the world's most

populous nation. off the holding talks with indian prime minister and that into a movie and daily shots announced that germany will move and triple the number of skilled visa support engine workers to $90000.00 per year. germany is courting indian workers to help improve state's economy. another goal of the trip is to make progress on a free trade deal between india and the uta pen union. here and over now to do the bureau chief in daily sondra page as mine who has been following the story for us. uh sandra, would you say that uh, we'll actually go out to what you wanted to, how to have those government consultations or how you see monica. i think you've got a lot, but i wouldn't say that you've got to everything. if we go into detail here, one has to take in to consideration that india is a very ambitious and self confident papa and a pop. now that sees no problem and being friends with germany and russia at the

same time for instance. and he has a lot of memorandum of understanding. so the letters of intent were assigned. you mentioned the one on skills label. there is also one on intelligence sharing and on increased military cooperation. there's also one on the joint research and production of green hydrogen. but the one thing that was really lacking here is a key, a commitment from the indian side to signing a free trade agreement with a european union anytime soon. and there is still a big stumbling stowing in the way there are a lot of indian fee is that the highly industrialized and subsidized agriculture in europe is simply going to overpower the $1.00 in india, which is 2 very labor intensive. and one has to keep in mind, but still in a roughly 60 percent of the indian population left off the land by farming and obviously in yes, 6 to protect them. now of oil schultz, i believe, was observed quite closely during his trip in india. would you say that you hit to

the right tone for indians to i think he had a lot of right tones by praising them. he hits the right tone by saying that india is in fact a potter on a level a pop. now that is growing fast way to germany is lagging behind in terms of its own economic growth. so he gave a lot of praise to the indian government and the indian side itself also gave a lot of praise to germany by specifically referring to a new strategic paper issued by germany as for an office, just a few days before this visit here happened. it's called focusing india and clearly stating how much india is valued by germany as a strategic partner on both economic and security terms. and the increased military cooperation is something that is very well documented in this paper. and which is highly appreciated by the indians who seek to don't scale the supply lines from

russia and want to diversify a little bit in germany. might be a very welcome partner here. we will see how much this really was on practical terms. john slough choice as waiting for an indian on so as and yet seeking a popular to about 6 conventional submarines a german offer and a spanish offer is in the find the running. the german chancellor was here, the spanish prime minister will arrive on monday and then in the a way to have a judge, we have to make a judgment call on who is going to get this 4.5 $1000000000.00 due from india. okay. essential pictures of the from denny, thank you so very much sandra. a bunch of pockets done where a student protests over an alleged rape in the eastern city of the whole has ignited the debates about women safety police shot down the demonstration saying the allegations of rape. one of the true bookcase has sparked intense debates
