Assassination attempt on Slovakia's PM, Georgia protests controversial 'foreign agent' law

In this episode of Battle Lines, we speak to Europe editor James
Crisp about the attempted assassination of Slovakian PM Robert
Fico. Then we speak to Gia Japaridze, a former Georgian
diplomat who was beaten up in what he believes was punishment for
his opposition to a controversial foreign agent's law. And
finally, we speak to Robin Forestier Walker, a British filmmaker
who lives in Tbilisi, about how protesters have reacted to the
law.
