In Tbilisi, protests have escalated as demonstrators use a makeshift "fireworks mini-gun" against riot police, intensifying the conflict over the Georgian government's decision to freeze EU accession talks.

Protesters used fireworks against riot police in Tbilisi late on Saturday as they gathered across Georgia for a third straight night of demonstrations against the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union.
