Some very agitated friends just arrived in the office, the situation by most reports seems to be spiraling out of control.
All we have at this stage is rumours however we are currently in a think tank with a number of high end Georgian academics who have the connections to confirm most of them.
We have fairly well confirmed reports that the Russians now have control of Gori. Something that the Russians are denying but by this point with troops in Senaki there is little reason for them not to take it and little in the way of resistance to stop them.
What will worry most of you is that the embassies appear to be evacuating, I have yet to hear from ours (I'm British by the way, or English as my Scottish friend would say) but the last few days have no faith in them.
Georgian media is reporting that Russian forces have taken over the main highway leading from West to East Georgia and the troops are advancing.
They are rumours unconfirmed by our sources of landings in Batumi, where a large proportion of the Georgian reserve is based.
Georgian troops are also rumoured to be retreating to Tbilisi, this is also unconfirmed as yet.

Have emailed the Beed and the Grauniad about Winston and Temur and have given them your email address and skype name if they wish to contact you. Hope that's ok. Hope all is well and work is productive.
