Generally the images don't belong to the BBC per se, so they can't re-distribute them.
Besides, you'd have to question the relevance of the thumbnail images anyway :-
How does a picture of a woman with a dodgy perm help you understand that the NHS has agreed to fund an anti-cancer treatment ? or a picture of a beardy man explain the situation in Iraq ?
If people had problems reading the text of the stories then those images would only confuse them more.

Where are the feeds with live graphics?
About One in Five people in the UK is functionally illiterate**, they
need and benefit from images.

sheet can transform http://news.bbc.co.uk however for the present it
would be great if a feed could provide something similar.
