Russia vows to complete Georgia pullout by Friday

Wednesday, 20 August 2008

Russia is vowing that its military forces will finally pull out of Georgia's heartland by Friday.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had promised to withdraw his soldiers from the country earlier this week, but there was no sign of any movement on the ground.

Russia invaded and occupied a number of Georgian towns after repelling the country's recent military assault on the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Residents in Georgian areas controlled by the Russians say the military advance has allowed South Ossetian paramilitaries to engage in widespread murder and looting.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
