the the, this is dw news line from berlin. george's capital prepares for more demonstrations against the law which could crack down on media freedoms. protestors had been on the streets for 3 weeks, announcing a so called a russian law as a threat to the countries you aspirations towards the president tell dw, she will be to the bill. also coming up on the program, canadian police charged 3 indian nationals of the killing of a 6 separatist and a case that supports the diplomatic crisis between india and canada. and berlin, someone's a top, a russian envoy over a series of cyber attacks against members of the governing social democratic party . german foreign minister under the book says,

russian back groups are also targeting the country's defense and technology sectors . the i'm aaron tilton, berlin. thank you very much for joining us. mass protest in the country of georgia have entered the 3rd week. the protests are aimed at a government bill which demonstrators a will crack down on the media and st. george's ambitions to join the european union. that you are the us have a, are georgia to drop the legislation housing just people in georgia have been taking to the streets for weeks protesting a bill that protected media freedom crowds oppose was a score the foreign agents bill, which would require immediate non profits to register as working for a foreign power if they get more than 20 percent of the funding from abroad.

the so the motivation behind the decision to reintroduce the law despite the problem is that it would not have been, is clearly rushed in style even before examining the law itself. that's what many here are calling it the solar russian law. that's because moscow use a similar legislation, declared press freedom and silence critics of the kremlin georgian presidents, them is what a beast really opposes the bill and don't be w. she would not let it pass as it did with georgia as plans of joining the you. so this low is pretty sorry by everyone. and it's criticized by your 10 factors by our american partners that say that this will be an obstacle to the european tasks of georgia when we are expecting by the end of the year to get to the possibility to

open negotiations for georgia entry and to the european union, while the president in western partners have opposed the law, georgia's prime minister has dismissed their criticism. he says their interference has, in fact, accelerated violence. is he gonna fix this with the us thing tank of the council on foreign relations? i asked her if this controversial bill will pass into law as well. the ruling party is very detailed mind to make this law pass. it is the 2nd time that they have already introduced it. so this is not just a one off. this is something where the ruling party, georgia dream, would lose all credibility if they were not push it to. so it's a very serious situation and really at fault in the world for just past what's the, you being union and to what's the west? well as, as you just mentioned, there are many critics say that this could be an attempt to realign georgia with

mosque out. do you share that assessment for a long time? they have been concerns that the way cause i didn't know behind the scenes between that even you should be me who was one judge and prime minister then has step down, but still am actually. so it's most of how overcharging dream is wash off when he has made his business and wash all his business fortunes. but this law would be the 1st, really definite of evidence that george and we mentioned seen that you've been actually in the background imitating western politics and implementing a law, which is just to office the model on the wash just for an agent. well, that it is really difficult to argue that this is not a move to what's most go. no, why exactly are we seeing this realignment with moscow? i mean, georgia fought a war against russian back separate us in 2008 and other regional countries like

armine, are just in see themselves from moscow at the moment. this is a huge product, especially as such, a huge majority of the population does not want to be aligned with moscow. so from the perspective of george, and we've seen that you probably should really, i'm the, the thinking goes that doctor really has no alternative. that if it opposes washer any further, no one will come to help georgia in the same way as you claim it's being held right now. that's the argument, the official like human. but at the same time, it is very fair to say that it is the interest of the judging dream party adult to see that even if we need to, we buy these ties to russia. and it is remarkable that the able to do so against the will of population of the population, which is also because to a position is so weak and so discredited after yes,

office actually this will in georgia the fix from the us thing tank the council on foreign relations, now we turned to canada were police of arrest and free men over the murder of a 6 separatist in vancouver. the killing sparked a diplomatic round between canada and in the after canadian prime minister, just them for those interest. and billy was involved 10 months after hardy seeing the jars killing canadian police have their main suspects. 3 indian nationals living in canada. but officials say they're still looking for others who might be involved in the murder, including agents of the indian government. that will underscore that today's announcements are not a complete the account of the investigative work currently underway. there are a separate and distinct investigations on going into these matters. certainly not limited to the involvement of the people arrested today. send these efforts include

investigating connections to the government of india. relations between ottawa and delhi had been tense since the jars killing last june. india labeled him a terrorist for his role and to seek separatist movement, which aims to carve an independent state college done out of parts of india and pakistan. seeks in canada and india have accused the indian government of a political assassination. in september, canada, as prime minister said, there was reason to believe in a conspiracy. over the past number of weeks, canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents. so the government of india and the killing of a canadian citizen. for dave, sing, major india called the allegations absurd and unsubstantiated and expelled dozens of canadian diplomats about that part of the prime minister and arrange remotely

later told the financial times that he would look into the allegations. but so far, no findings have been released. the german foreign ministry has some of the rushes invoice to protect, to protest, rather about a cyber attack targeting, leading politicians from the governing, social democratic party. russia denies involvement and last year's attack on politicians, email accounts. but german foreign minister under the end of that block has made it clear for me she held responsible for the attack. you're going to be confused, and it gives me quite to because i had to do this type of attack to a group called the dent 28 dawson the problem. we just verified the military intelligence over so fresh um but in other words, if the state sponsor suggestions 5, but a dock 10, many 5 out all of us. so this isn't actually due to an acceptable and will have consequences. right. so what exactly is the group behind is a legit hack attack?

we put that question to casting such a shot. bought a researcher at the university of heidelberg, an expert on cyber conflict and cyber security. well, every 228 is a very well known hacker group that is associated with the military intelligence on g o. u of the russian state. and they have a long history of cyber operations against most of the, of course, your pin, democratic states. but of course, also folks out of the united states and they saw that at the beginning of the century, for example, more with espionage operation, operations against state and political entities. and then later on and also shift the probations to what so called technique operations. so operations where they do not always feel information that can be used and foster change it to a certain nation, but also using those kinds of information. for example, in the run of, of democratic elections to meet those information, to the public in order to so chaos and distrust and in order to undermine

democratic national election processes, as has been the case. for example, in 2016, we sent the mc heck of a ration in the context of u. s. election battle. and of course, when we talk about germany in a 5028, this is also well known because they have seen how to do that as the responsible heck, a group for the, for the very well known hacking authoration against the germans, holly, i'm going, as we turn to south america now we're at least 32nd people have them killed. a southern brazil and doors is worst flooding and over 80 years. rescuers are battling torrential rains in search of thousands of people missing in the state of rio grande to so the downpour is expected to continue over the weekend and authorities warren, that several dams are done with the risk of collapse. the helicopters for p a to pull families to safety is rising, flood water has reached rooftop,
