  • The Economist.

  • Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm Rosie Bloor.

  • And I'm Jason Palmer.

  • Every weekday, we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • After a deadly earthquake in Myanmar in March,

  • there were reports that the military government was continuing its bombardment.

  • despite declaring a humanitarian ceasefire.

  • Our visual investigations team consider the evidence.

  • And for contact sports such as rugby,

  • the long-run risks to the brain are by now well known.

  • So what to do about kids that play them?

  • Rule changes and snazzy new materials might help,

  • but banning them altogether might be more dangerous.

  • First up, though.

  • Black and brown are going to unite, aren't we?

  • Aren't we?

  • You're black and brown, we're going to unite.

  • Black, brown, and Asian, we're going to unite.

  • We're going to unite.
