the, the, this is dw news line from berlin. gorgeous capital prepares for more demonstrations against the law which could crack down on media freedoms protests. there is nothing on the streets for 3 weeks announcing a so called russian law as a threat to the countries you aspirations. george's president tells dw, she will be towards the bill. also coming up in the program, canadian police charged 3 indian nationals over the killing of a 6 separate is in the case that sparked into diplomatic crisis between india and canada. and berlin. some of the top russian envoy over a series of cyber attacks against members of the governing social democratic party,

german foreign minister and an individual boxes of russian back, whoops. are also targeting the country's defense and technology sectors. the . i'm here until berlin. thank you very much for joining us. mass protest in the country of georgia have entered the 3rd week. the photos are aimed at a government bill, which demonstrators say will crack down on the media and saint george's ambitions to join the european union. the you and us have urged the country to drop the legislation. housing 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 to will 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 all 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. the entry into 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. leona fixes with the us the think tank of the council on foreign relations i asked, or if this controversial bill was likely to 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 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

moscow. do you share that assessment for a long time? they have been concerns that the great cause, you know, behind the scenes between or even you should be me, was one judge and prime minister then has step down, but still am actually. so it's most of our overcharging. dream is washer friendly. he has made his business and watch on his business fortunes. but this law would be the 1st really definite of evidence that judge. and we mentioned to you that you basically in the background imitating western politics and implementing a law, which is just to office the model on the wash just for an agent though, that it is really difficult to argue that this is not a move to what's most go know why exactly are we seeing this realignment with moscow? i mean, georgia fought a war against russian back separatists in 2008 and other regional countries like

armine, are just and see themselves from us. go at the moment. this is a huge power adults, especially as such a huge majority of the population does not want to we align with moscow. so from the perspective of george and we made it seem that you probably should really. um, 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 helped right now. that's the argument, the official argument. but at the same time, it is very fair to say that it is the interest of the judge and dream potty 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 a population of the population, which is also because to
