Situation in Georgia

[pilot]

Does anyone know what the situation on the ground in Georgia is? I am in Tokyo at the moment, but a colleague of mine is booked on the bmi flight this evening -bmi hasn't cancelled this flight yet, whilst the website says they are monitoring it, I just spoke to bmi and when I asked them about the situation in Georgia, the respone was 'what situation in Georgia?!'. It is a business trip -should I tell him not to travel, or should I trust that bmi aren't going to fly pax and crew into a potential war?

Any urgent advice appreciated -I am his 'boss' and therefore I was the one who is sending him there, is it safe or not!? FCO website being a bit vague atm.
