A Sky News team has been robbed at gunpoint on the outskirts of the Georgian city of Gori by men thought to be South Ossetian separatist militia.

....

Sky News correspondent Jason Farrell confirmed he had seen tanks on the streets in Gori, which has suffered extensively from Russian bombing raids.

He said he had seen them patrolling the streets and that a team of Norwegian journalists had been robbed in the centre of the town.

"It's the same scenes as we were seeing at the beginning of the conflict. As far as the people here are concerned, the politicians may be talking about peace but there's really no sign of it here."
