and now we are witnessing that only one party represents the parliament of georgia would say, a showcase of authoritarian regime and for many years, the western partners of georgia were considered georgia as three child democracy but today, many experts and politicians and human rights defending are talking about this, the hybrid authoritarianism in georgia that we are witnessing in georgia in the last two weeks that around 400 to demonstrators have been arrested in more than 300 are victims of psychological and physical abuse. and i interviewed several of them. they are talking about threats of rape, young activists, human rights defenders, green activists, lgbt activists, they are talking about the threat of are talking about the threat of a rape by riot police, where they were detained. we also made investigative film about it. ., made investigative film about it. . , it. katie tutberidze, investigative - it. katie tutberidze, i investigative journalist joining us live from tbilisi, thank you so much. of course, we will continue to monitor the scenes in georgia w

so essentially, what you have is the parliament of georgia that was elected at the end of october inelection that the opposition says was essentially stolen. they are going to be inaugurating the person that they chose. this mikhail kavelashvili, as the president. but the only problem is, as you pointed out, there is a president in place who was elected four years ago democratically, and she is salome zurabishvili. and she has said that having a new president is actually, as she called it, a farce because it's illegal. so she is saying she remains the legal president of georgia. now, saying that is one thing. but i think physically on the ground, this is where we don't know what is going to happen. she is as far as far as we know, in the presidential palace. that's where she works and that's where she lives. but as of sunday, which is tomorrow, uh, the parliament, the prime minister says she will be breaking the law if she stays in that building and could be arrested. so it is tense, and i don't think really either side wants a lot of violence at this point. but it's things are unpre

because people saw that the government of georgia at that time was very low —— loyal to those who have breached the occupation and allow the russian member of the parliamenttuation, protests in georgia. there's confusion over persistent reports of drone sightings in the skies over the eastern united states. the governors of new york and newjersey say they're in touch with federal officials over eyewitness concerns. the president—elect donald trump has taken to social media to demand either an official explanation or for the objects to be shot down. white house officials have played down the reports. barry caffrey reports. another drone. these are the drones that have been reported by people living in new jersey. loud, low—flying objects with unusual lighting. it all started a few weeks ago with reports of a drone flying over an army base, and in the days that followed, officials were inundated with reports of mysterious objects in the skies. it didn't concern me at first. i just didn't think anything of it until it started becoming like every night, the same time, same places. so i figured, ok, they must be doing some kind of military drill. i've seen clu

200 people have been detained by police off the 4 nights of protests in georgia's capital, tbilisi, tens of thousands of rallied outside parliament, also the government suspended efforts to join the european union. many fed the ruling georgia dream party is trying to move close to russia. george's prime minister is rejected all calls and you will actions tens of thousands of demonstrators surround the problem and didn't typically see most of peaceful but as the police close in heavy sites breakouts. just as the nights before the, the process was spot by the parliament's decision to suspends totes and joining the european union. the prime minister eat our ki koba heats a t nice. he's taking georgia of the past to you membership was the response is very clear. so we have not suspended anything related to the integration system like that or the position leaders that are the media alters. linked was the position courses length of the speaker, but nobody has suspended can integration of georgia. we are very much committed to the forgive me because you friends via position forces accused the georgia dream policy of trying to tilt the c

of, well can we begin in georgia where the political crisis has deepened with the appointment of a new fall rights president with close ties to russia. opponents have once again started side parliament to protest against the form of football, and they called cover letter covered last billy uninstalled. the lights on the christmas tree from being switched on. the turmoil has been rumbling on since the georgia dream policy, which is rolling suspended towards on joining the european union. the previous president says she was that done until new elections are held. are very few signs of the holiday season. in tbilisi, popular anger has replaced seasonal ch here on the streets around george's parliament. demonstrators continued the thing, solve with police after recent election, so the moscow friendly georgia dream party claim the vote was president on saturday, the georgia dream control problem and elected this man. miss, you have a, she'd be a former football player turned right wing politicians. the opposition few years will steer georgia away from joining the european union outside the apartment building. protesters cast out on how they treat these qualifications our, our garden, uh

of gave me the cash. you friendly opposition forces accused the georgia dream policy of trying to tilt the country more towards russia. the position has been fully coaching parliament ever since disputed elections in october, and that's been calling for any votes. so has georgia's president, president southern me, so obviously the supports the prototypes, and it's supposed to leave office by the end of the year. but she is refusing to do so, unless they are a new election leading to stand between the states and the governments and on the streets. it's clear that mode in the months after the disputes of elections, which attends a georgia dream product to power in the country, is that another major cross roads or by us that corresponded by a couple months if demonstrate is getting anywhere often months now is protest. this doesn't look to be the case at this point. it seems like it's, it's a game of exhaustion between the police and the government and the pro testers, the post houses flash to to, to the street until the government reconsidered us. it's a decision, but we don't see any sign that the government is ready to do. so now we understand that several. there w

proceedings did actually stop and gain some of those individuals, including opposition, members of parliament here in georgia. and just before we saw this spock up of violence again on friday night into saturday morning, we did see that there was stopping searches, taking place at the metro stations and not seem to go out quite a few people up. but yes, we've had a few nights of relative calm the weekend is back and it seems as if the protest is here to again, refusing to acknowledge the decision by the constitutional quote early this week. the elections that they have been disputing. the president has been disputing that took place in october, were free and fast, and these purchase the say they won't acknowledge that and they still cooling. so they government to step down and officially sanctioned cool. that's how romania is presidential front runner has branded the constitutional court's decision to cancel his 1st round election victory, and order of full rerun a settlement. the romanian state has taken democracy, i'm trampled. i have to try. the decision of the constitutional court represents the name of

some of these individuals, including opposition, members of parliament here in georgia. and just before we saw this spoke up of violence again on friday night into saturday morning. we did see that there was stopping searches, taking place at the metro stations and not seem to go out quite a few people up. but yes, we've had a few nights of relative calm. we can just back and it seems as if the protest is ahead to again, refusing to go legs the decision by the constitutional court early this week for the elections that they have been speaking with. the president has been displeasing that took place in october, were free and fast, and these purchase the saving wasn't to acknowledge that, and they still cooling, they government to step down. okay, saw that many songs, the full, the update that's all to correspond to in charlotte. deepen, sky reporting from typically see thank you or the russian president in his days that, that the deployment to all the new to a capable, high, facilitate a russian missile system. and neighboring by the roost is on the cards. allow them, it p

parliament and this is one of the complaints that the present president, salome zourabichvili, has had, that they convened the new parliament without her approval which is not for seeing in the law. is georgianouncing the movies illegitimate. there is a sitting president whose term is meant to end on december 29 and she said she is not stepping down so what you think is going to happen? december 20, i think, is going to be crunch time. that is when, when the new president is supposed to be sworn in and become the next president. the opposition, the protesters, are claiming that he cannot have any legitimacy since the parliament was convened illegitimately and so i think that december 29 will be probably the most dangerous time in this period since the elections in october 26 because president zourabichvili said she is not going to step down so i think that is the consequences. and in the meantime these protests continue. we saw people out on the street tonight. you expect this move, new president, will that dampen the enthusiasm within georgia for these pro—eu demonstrations? you know, that is hard to say. i don't really expect it. it is really extraordinary, the level of energy on the part

year—old mikheil kavelashvili was voted in by the electoral college in georgia's parliament and that electoral college largely consisted ofdidate on the ballot and elected as the country's next president. meanwhile, outside parliament, and freezing temperatures, people have continued to protest and there were more people towards there were more people towards the night, there was some confrontations brewing with a large number of police because there was a plan by the town mayor of the capital, tbilisi, to light a giant christmas tree outside parliament and that did not happen because the protesters were building at any attempt by the government to like christmas decorations —— booing. like christmas decorations -- booina. , ., ., , booing. he is going to be inaugurated _ booing. he is going to be inaugurated on _ booing. he is going to be | inaugurated on december booing. he is going to be - inaugurated on december 29. what will happen between now and then in terms of those protests? i and then in terms of those protests?— and then in terms of those protests? i think very likely that the protests _ protests? i think very

georgia. because both she and the opposition have claimed repeatedly that 0ctober parliamentary elections in the country were stolen. therefore they do not recognise the legitimacy of the parliamentvoted and today inaugurated mikheil kavelashvili as the next president. i think the next question is will there be international recognition of mikheil kavelashvili as georgia's president? will he get congratulations from the european union, united states, two days ago the united states government imposed sanctions against the most powerful man in georgia. he is the founder of the ruling party, georgian dream. very strict sanctions, asset freezes and so on. in a statement the us state department said sanctions are being imposed for undermining democratic and euro atlantic future of georgia for the benefit of the russian federation. that is why we have seen so many people coming out to the streets to protest as they believe the current government in georgia is tilting away from the european union and moving georgia closer to russia. thank you. azerbaijani president ilham aliyev says that the passenger plane that crashed in kazakhstan, killing 38 people, had been damaged due to shooting

of georgia, where the ruling party is normally has been elected president, former model city for, for me calling you couple actually received over 2 thirds of votes from deputies in the countries parliament. georgia's prime minister praised his appointment and said, the incumbent head of state though, has no other option, but the step by i understand her feelings, but suitability will have to leave her post. i can only express my compassion for her. i am confident that the election of me kyle campbell, should be lead to the most important position will make a very important contribution to strengthening georgian statehood and our sovereignty. as well as reducing radicalism and polarization in our country. the election of a new president in georgia, his term is due to stalls on december 29th us already being contested, not just by the protest is to be not in the streets now for 17 days straight, but also by opposition. members, he in georgia and the pro e president to has said she does not recognize the vote today. she does not recognize the parliament indeed, since it was convened office to the elections in october of this year. she took to the constitutional court of georgia complaint s

of this parliament with 300 votes. as these members of parliament from georgia, dream opposition, policies are not present the because they disagree with the parliamentary elections . and basically believe that everything that's happened since is now in void. so that's the empties. and then the, of course, representatives of local governments, in the, uh, having that vote, they've been voting for the past 2 and a half hours. it's expected to finish by 2 o'clock local time. so that's another 2 and a half hours. so let me just show you around in the tell you what it's like here. there's still thousands of people gathered in front of but problem with, despite that being so cold as people playing football right over here, for example, that keeping warm plus at the same time, the taking a low job at the one presidential candidate who is a big guy or could be less, really, is a former football player, the also all those who came with a prince out of the diploma. so we have, as i can see, team that's in here, who's printed out her diploma tenants and could use quickly tell us why did you come with your diploma? yeah, cuz i have

georgia. the president was not elected directly by the judge and people, but by an electronic college snow. tackle those members of this elect protocol. it says college come from the parliament. however, the question still looming in georgia is, is that parliament is actually legit and that's it was elected in late october and there has been a reports about mess of fraud. so the people are closing the president, they would say listen, the part of that is not legitimate, then to elects are college is not legitimate. so the president then cannot be legitimate either. so ago has the clicked rolanda, as i told the story, south korean authorities are investigating the west evasion to saucer in decades nearly all of the 181 people. a boy with a g u. s. line died when it's set off the runway at go on international that get the top of the out with one use up next here on the channels we look at germany's corner store was that douglas social helps. that's help tonight. communities as after the breaks that you in for the last time it was like a and for me in the see him haven't been and thanks for watching by the if you like, history. but with the side of culture, travel and control t
