Tibet’s uncharted future

The World

China has reacted to a week long meeting of Tibetan exiles in Dharamsala, India. It repeated its condemnation of the Dalai Lama accusing him of trying to break China apart by splitting Tibet away. The exiles’ meeting was called to talk about the future of Tibet and the role of the Dalai Lama. As Mary Kay Magistad reports, the exile community heard their leader say he may not be around much longer and they should plan for a future without him.
