This week’s Channel 4 News image on the torch relay (surprise!) and Naomi Campbell’s spot of bother with British Airways.

UPDATE The picture is now published here.
New image later today for Channel 4 News.

btw - Excuse the look of the site right now. I’ve had a few problems with the previous theme* or a plugin or a combination of the two.
This meant that the site would only partially load or cause problems for certain browsers.
I’m trying to find a safe but acceptable WP theme.
Many thanks to Sam for letting me know of the problem.

*It may have been K2’s ‘floating’ history navigation in case anyone else is trying it out.

UPDATE - Hopefully back to the old theme with advanced navigation off - If anyone’s having problems, please let me know. Cheers.

Here’s yesterday’s Channel 4 News animation on amendments to the Olympic Torch relay due to human rights and Tibet protests.

Update :
I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this - I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
I have tweaked the image slightly and created a larger version for those who have asked for an image they can put on a T shirt. Click on the image for the large version.

I’ve also removed my tag from the large version - it distracts from the piece.

First posted (including smog version) here.

More information on this image and similar versions HERE.

excuse the cliché and the reusing of a bit of an old pic.

“At this point my time and energy must be spent not on Olympic ceremonies but doing all I can to help bring an end to the unspeakable crimes against humanity that continue to be committed in Darfur.”

Further Update
A higher resolution image is HERE with a couple of updates to the logo and I have removed my tag as it distracts from the piece.
Update - Seems a few folk like this one, so here are the wallpapers :
800×600

It just wouldn’t be good form to rock the boat, what with the British Olympics coming up four years later.
At least the Chinese can produce a descriptive logo.

…and be prepared to change if they can’t stop the Beijing smog.
