Georgia has erupted in protest once again, as the ruling Georgian Dream party pursues a "foreign agents" bill in parliament – something that has left a question mark hanging over the country’s European ambitions. The EU granted the ex-Soviet nation candidate status to join the bloc last December. We speak to Georgia's President Salomé Zourabichvili, who plans to veto the final draft of the law, but admits that parliament can still override her veto. That makes the October 26 election even more crucial for re-asserting the country’s European path, she says.

Women make up nearly half the active population in Germany, but the arrival of a baby completely changes their position in the labour market. More than 70 percent of mothers of children under the age of six work part time. Mothers – particularly in the west of Germany – are still encouraged to stay at home for a few years after giving birth, but a mediocre childcare system also plays a part. The lack of nursery places is glaring, with more than 400,000 children on waiting lists. In response, the state is investing billions and even guarantees childcare places for all children up to the age of 10. But the problem persists.

A huge indictment on the government of the time, Mallam. Now that we know the reasons behind the crisis, is your government likely to follow past precedence’s? When crucial arrests are made, are you going to allow religion or ethnicity becloud your decisions before, during and after the court processes? It is common to find people condemning Northern governors for not only looking the other way as these killings took place but also losing interest in such cases altogether, especially when arrests are made.
It would be very important that a strong warning is sent to these killers who, as things appear, think and feel they enjoy the support of the establishment and, therefore possess the license to carry out such atrocities. The most effective way to achieve this is to ensure that these killers are not only CAUGHT IN THE ACT but are made to face the penalty for their acts. It is just an advice, and you are free to ignore it. I can assure you the world is watching, Mallam.
We will review and take appropriate action.
