Hello and welcome to the Intelligence on Economist Radio. I'm your host, Jason Palmer.

Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping you a world.

Climate change is, let's face it, a very real danger to low-lying areas, to crops, to

water supplies, but it's also a danger to all kinds of businesses. It's hard to know exactly

how exposed various companies are, but few are dealing with that exposure at all. As with

curbing emissions, the time to tackle the problem is now. And Andre Previn was something of a

showman, writing tunes for Hollywood films and living a visibly glitzy lifestyle. But our

obituaries editor found much more, a composer who couldn't put down his pencil, a conductor

of the world's great orchestras, and a secret after hours' jazzman.

First up, though. This month marks 60 years since an uprising by the people of Tibet against

Communist Party rule.

The streets of Lassa, where once the rebels arrogantly strutted, are now thrown with 20,000

citizens, who celebrate the putting down of the rebels and welcome the inauguration of their

new life. Until the Communist Revolution of 1949, Tibet had enjoyed a degree of independence,

but after their victory, the authorities in China sent in their troops. Throughout the length

and breadth of China, 650 million people hail the victory over the rebels in Tibet. The uprising

of March 1959 is an event mourned by the Tibetan people and supporters of their cause. Yesterday,

protesters gathered in New Delhi and other cities around the world to mark the anniversary

and to call for Tibet's independence.

China's Communist Party records the events of 1959 rather differently.

Tibet is an integral part of China, a pose intervention in China's internal affairs. Build a

happy and prosperous new Tibet.
