China Clamps Down on News from Tibet Protests

China's crackdown against Tibetan protesters has reportedly spread neighboring provinces. Details of the protests, and Beijing's response, have been hard hard to come by due to efforts by China to stem the flow of news from the affected region.

Ari Shapiro speaks with James Miles of The Economist magazine and Louisa Lim of NPR.
