I was interested today, to read on Xinhua, the Chinese State news
agency, that the BBC had been accused of displaying an image of a
ambulance with a caption stating that "There is a heavy military
presence in Lhasa".[1]
The BBC did indeed show that; here's Google's cache of the page:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:qH6sdYFO4PoJ:news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7300312.stm
(with an earlier timestamp of 12:48 GMT).
The alternate text on the image is still "Chinese military check an
ambulance", presumably from the people who took the photo, and whether
that's what's happening or what Xinhua say is happening, who knows.
I can't explain the same timestamp issue, but I do believe (I can't find the
reference now, but I remember reading it) that BBC News can update the
content without changing the "last updated" tag if it's marked as a minor
change in their CMS or similar.
