“60 Minutes” is back this Sunday, November 12, 2023, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.
Iran’s Assassins
The episode starts with an eye-opening segment on Iran’s covert activities beyond its known support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Correspondent Lesley Stahl delves into how Iran is quietly waging a shadow war in the U.S. and Europe, employing proxy assassins to target and silence critics of the regime. Matt Jukes, Britain’s head of counter-terrorism policing, shares insights into the increased efforts by Iran in this regard. Lesley Stahl also interviews some of the targets, including former White House national security adviser John Bolton and Iranian American activist Masih Alinejad. Shachar Bar-On is the producer of this thought-provoking segment.
The Heritage War
Bill Whitaker reports from Kyiv, shedding light on Russia’s ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the alleged deliberate destruction and looting of the country’s cultural treasures, such as museums, churches, and monuments. Ukrainians believe that this strategy originates from the Kremlin and constitutes a potential war crime. Whitaker takes viewers on a tour of the damaged churches and libraries and speaks with courageous museum workers who are risking their lives to protect Ukraine’s heritage. Heather Abbott is the producer behind this impactful story.
Horse Racing Reform?
In a different but equally compelling segment, correspondent Cecilia Vega explores the Justice Department’s investigation into one of the largest horse doping cases in U.S. history. Vega examines the wiretaps that played a crucial role in solving the case and leading to convictions of numerous veterinarians, horse trainers, and drug distributors. Lisa Lazarus, who heads the new national regulator tasked with cleaning up horse racing, engages in a discussion with Vega about the sport’s moment of reckoning and its future. Sarah Koch is the producer of this investigative report.
