Lawmakers in Georgia have approved a second reading of a controversial 'foreign agents' bill. It requires media and civil groups that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as being under foreign influence. Protesters are currently facing off against police outside parliament in the capital Tbilisi. They say the bill would restrict basic freedoms and is similar to a law being used to silence government critics in Russia. Large protests against the legislation have become a regular occurrence in Georgia. Chapters: 00:00 Crackdown on protests 00:34 Maria Katamadze.
