Georgians seek membership in the EU
People in the former Soviet republic of Georgia overwhelmingly seek membership in the European Union. But the EU has put those hopes on ice, accusing the government in Georgia of rolling back democratic freedoms. This weekend, Georgian voters head to the polls in a crucial election for the country, caught between pressures from Russia and Europe. Also, younger workers in Portugal are leaving the country in droves, with rising rents and falling wages pushing them out. The government introduced new tax breaks to try to reverse the trend. But it might be too little, too late, to halt brain drain in Portugal. And, a deadly attack took place on Wednesday in Turkey's capital at the headquarters of a Turkish aerospace and defense company.
