Demonstrations continue for the 9th consecutive day in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. On Saturday, Parliament elected a new president, former football player Mikhail Kavelashvili. Close to Russia, he is considered to be extreme right-wing because of his very anti-European stance. This is the first time in the country that a president has not been elected by the people, and he is therefore considered illegitimate by the protesters. Details with Regis Gente, correspondent in the region.
