The secret preview of the Olympic opening ceremony China didn't want you to see

Security and secrecy have surrounded the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games - until now.

More than 10,000 performers have been working on the 50-minute show for three years and all were sworn to secrecy - but, with just eight days to go, a South Korean television network managed to breach security and broadcast just over a minute of the show yesterday.

Games organisers were said to be "disappointed" and organisers are now investigating the security breach, which comes as a huge embarrassment to Beijing.
