US warning to Russia over Georgia

The US has strongly criticised Russian military action against Georgia as fighting continued over South Ossetia.

President George W Bush told US TV he had frank discussions with Russian PM Vladimir Putin at the Olympics, calling Russia's actions "disproportionate".

Meanwhile, Georgia said Russian planes had bombed targets near its capital, despite Tbilisi declaring a ceasefire.

And Moscow accused Georgian forces of firing on Russian positions in the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali.
