We begin in Georgia which has been thrown into political turmoil after the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party was declared the winner of Saturday’s election. Georgia’s president, who is not part of the ruling party, has announced that she will not accept the results.
Surrounded by members of the main opposition parties, President Salome Zourabichvili said the country had been the victim of a Russian "special operation". She said there had been a "total falisification" of the election and called on the people of Georgia to take to the streets to protest. The opposition is also refusing to accept the outcome.
