Evidence

In the second segment, 60 Minutes uncovers new evidence that could change the understanding of the 9/11 attacks. A recent investigation has found crucial information that was given to the FBI right after the attacks but was not shared with field agents or senior intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on this newly revealed evidence, which includes a video of a Saudi national filming the U.S. Capitol—believed to be the fourth target of the al-Qaeda terrorists. Richard Bonin and Mirella Brussani are the producers.

The Land of Declining Sons

In the final segment, 60 Minutes reports on Japan’s demographic crisis. While the global population has surpassed 8 billion, Japan is experiencing a significant population decline due to a low birth rate, with projections indicating the country’s population could shrink by half by the end of this century. Correspondent Jon Wertheim travels to Japan to examine how this decline is reshaping the country’s culture and economy. Jacqueline Williams is the producer.
