Georgia wants to join Nato. Its Defence Minister, Tinatin Khidasheli, has been touring European Union countries making the case for the former Soviet state to join the club of western nations who vow to defend each other's borders.

Hardtalk’s Sarah Montague asks whether Nato is prepared to face up to Russia over Georgia?
