'Fake photo' revives Kim rumours

This prompted the Times to question the photo's authenticity - though research in photo archives revealed the black line was also absent in other, presumably older photos and may simply be a feature of the stand.

In an earlier version of this story, the BBC pointed out apparently mismatched pixels on the right side of Mr Kim's legs.
