Hi, everyone, I'm Asieh Namdar at the CNN. COM newsroom in Atlanta. Here's a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

Georgia is accusing the Russian army of destroying a key railway bridge and starting massive fires in the country. Moscow denies that saying its soldiers are simply completing security operations. Georgia's accusations1 come amid a cease-fire agreement that calls for both sides to return to the positions they held before fighting broke out eight days ago. Georgia's president signed the deal yesterday after meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. President Bush issued yet another statement this morning repeating that Moscow needs to honor the agreement and withdraw its forces and military operations.

Authorities in India say ten people are behind bars for a series of deadly bombings last month. The arrest came today. 49 people were killed, more than 100 were wounded after 17 coordinated2 blasts struck the city of Ahmedabad. All the suspects face charges including murder and waging war against the State.

Back in this country, Florida's governor has declared a state of emergency, saying Tropical Storm Fay is on its way. Fay’s battering3 Haiti, Cuba and The Bahamas this hour. The center of the storm is said to move over Haiti this afternoon, moving next to Cuba. The sixth named storm of the season has maximum sustained winds of 45 miles an hour. Various computer models put the storm's long-range track up the western portion of the Florida Peninsula in a few days. Others place it farther to west over the eastern Gulf4 of Mexico.

Their bodies were all found on the first floor, at the rear of the house. A child and two teens made it out of the house with burn injuries, they are said to be in stable condition.
