BBC owns up to picture gaffe

The BBC has owned up to a rather embarassing gaffe last night.

Writing on the editor's blog,Peter Horrocks says

Last night the BBC broadcast a still which we said showed dozens of bodies lying in the waterfront of the Irrawaddy delta. We have since discovered that the picture was actually taken in Aceh, Sumatra following the tsunami of 2004. This was a mistake, and we will be correcting it on all BBC output where the still was used.
