Well yes..
With a big BUT..
James' Review emphasised that this was also a very sombre week in terms of world news.
The China catastrophe - with potential flooding now also pending - plus the ongoing emergency in Burma/Myanmar - formed, at the very least, a dark backdrop to the week.
Hopefully it also created more realisation that we all live on the same small planet [with a few exceptions who appear to be visiting from elsewhere].
Most heinous was the Burmese authorities refusal to accept proferred international help with distribution of food to the stranded villages. I listened all week to BBC reports, sometimes whispered because they were only able to be there clandestinely.
