Protesters have been out in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, for a fourth night after the country's bid to join the European Union was put on hold by the ruling party, Georgian Dream. Fireworks were shot towards riot police on the steps of parliament and a water cannon was fired at demonstrators.

The government’s decision to suspend its bid for European Union membership has driven thousands of protesters onto the streets.

Georgian riot police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters who came out for another night of demonstrations, while President Salome Zourabichvili vowed to stay in office and defy the ruling party’s plan to replace her.
