Transcript of Georgia police clash with anti-government protesters. #Georgia #BBCNews

I'm outside the Georgian Parliament Building in the center of Tbilisi. There are thousands of anti-government protesters here sending off fireworks. Protest are here. The other side down the road are the police. Lots of police, long lines of police, and Water Canon, too. A few minutes ago, we saw the Water Canon being used to try to disperse the crowds. People here are furious that this week their government suspended, they say, until the of 2028, Georgia's bid to join the European Union. People here are angry because the aspiration to join the EU is enshrined in this country's Constitution. The protesters have been accusing the government of kowtowing to Moscow, being in the pay of the Kremlin. This feels like a crucial moment for Georgia because for more than 20 years, this country has been on a path to Western integration towards joining NATO and the EU. But that now seems to be on hold.
