Georgia invaded, Saakashvili dead? False TV report causes panicOne of Georgia's main TV channels has sparked panic and protests after broadcasting a fake news report that Russian troops were advancing towards the capital Tbilisi and President Saakashvili had been killed. |
A good start. Disabled athletes have always been able to show the best qualities of their country... However, they do not only need the support of the Government in making sure that they have consistent assistance but the society needs to embrace them too. My best wishes to all the Russian althletes in Vancouver.
