Coming up on the prgramme...

Samira here. We're on at 6.45pm tonight.

We should have reports from inside the conflict zone in South Ossetia tonight, as we try to get a fuller picture of the scale of casualties. Georgian forces have withdrawn from the region, allegedly under the strength of the Russian assault.

And we're keeping a close eye on events in Zimbabwe, where Morgan Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe remain locked in talks that could bring about a power-sharing deal. It could be our lead if there's a breakthrough.

Plus Alex reports from Beijing where 25-year-old Nicole Cooke has secured Britain's first gold (and the first gold for Wales in 36 years) with a fabulous performance in the women's cycling road race. See you then.
