The head of Georgia's electoral commission has been splashed in a black liquid, believed to be paint, whilst announcing a poll result in parliament. Official Giorgi Kalandarishvili was doused during the confirmation by David Kirtadze, an opposition party official.

The trial of the man accused of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley began in Athens, Ga., with prosecutors outlining how they think the suspect killed the nursing student who was out for a run. The defense argued that the evidence is circumstantial and complained about how the case has become political.
