US secretary of state arrives in Georgia with French-brokered ceasefire

Updated on 15 August 2008

The American secretary of state Condoleezza Rice arrives in Georgia in a show of support for the country a week after fighting with Russian began.

Rice will present the Georgian president with a ceasefire deal that's been brokered by France.
