OT (not history but the future!): BBC Shenzou V news story earlier today

Did anybody catch the earlier version of :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/3170524.stm

which was posted earlier today?

The text has understandably been changed now, but the original contained an
absolute howler. The apparent leaking of the launch date was described as
"the first chink in [the hitherto tight control of the media]".

Whoops!
