China blocks internet access for foreign media
Updated
China has broken one of the key promises it made to secure the Games back in 2001.
Foreign journalists who were promised full media freedom now find their internet access blocked to key world news and human rights websites. The BBC and Amnesty International are just some of the sites that appear to have been shut down. Just two weeks ago, the International Olympic Committee was insisting there would be no internet censorship during the Games. Now it's vowing to take up the matter with Chinese authorities.
