NEWS INTRO VIDEO

In today’s news, the NBA, NHL, MLB, and MLS have all announced that they are closing access to all locker rooms and club houses to nonessential personnel, including media, in response to the coronavirus crisis. The significance of the crisis is yet to really unfold, as it will in coming months, but many organizations and businesses are taking precautions such as these to avoid risk early on.

On this day in history in 1959, the Tibetans revolt against Chinese occupation. Hundreds of thousands of citizens would surround the summer palace of the Dalai Lama in order to protect him from a suspected kidnapping. The Chinese surrounded the palace, aiming artillery at the the citizens, and just before they could fire, the Dalai Lama and a couple thousand loyal followers followed him to India, where he’s maintained a government-in-exile to this day.
