Russia begins Georgia handover :

Russian troops have begun handing over control of the area around the town of Gori to Georgian security forces.
But a Russian general in the area said Moscow's troops would remain nearby for several days, apparently to remove weaponry and unexploded ordnance.
Overnight the US secretary of state urged Moscow to meet its own pledge to pull troops out of Georgia altogether.
Georgia launched an attack on the rebel region of South Ossetia from Gori and the town has remained a key flashpoint.
Russian troops headed towards the town after they moved against Georgian forces in South Ossetia, sparking a rapid retreat by Georgian forces and civilians on Monday.
