Check the URL on that news.

.uk is the UK. Like the rest of the civilized world (read: everyone but us Americans), the Brits abbreviate dates logically: day, month, year. The news is fresh as a daisy; the real criticism, imo, is of an 'anonymous source', but the Register is usually quite accurate.
