Video Leaks Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony Rehearsal

Korean TV network SBS has shown video of a dress rehearsal for next Friday's opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. It is unclear whether the video's release was authorised, although it is highly unlikely as there has been a huge security clampdown around the ceremony with Chinese officials closely guarding their secret plans.

The 30 seconds of footage shows kung fu fighters, trapeze gymnasts, a giant earth globe, floating 3D humpback whales and orchestral music.
