Face to face with the Russian Army
FRANCE 24's special correspondents Nicolas Ransom and Tim Grucza report from Gori, a Georgian town near the border of South Ossetia.

Never before has Georgia known such intimidation. Russian tanks have taken position outside the town and its inhabitants are fleeing any way they can. On the road to the capital Tbilisi, the Georgian police are powerless: "All we can do," they tell our correspondents, "is tell people not to go back".
