60 Minutes CBS “Evidence, The Future of Warfare, Lourdes” August 24 2025
CBS presents a special postseason edition of 60 MINUTES this Sunday, August 24, 2025, airing from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT. This hour features updated reports on stories that continue to capture attention, from historic investigations to cutting-edge technology and spiritual phenomena.
Evidence
Correspondent Cecilia Vega examines newly surfaced evidence that could alter the understanding of the September 11 attacks more than twenty years later. The investigation reveals that crucial information initially submitted to the FBI after the attacks was never shared with field agents or senior intelligence officials. The report comes amid an ongoing lawsuit against the Saudi government filed by families of the nearly 3,000 victims. Vega’s segment includes footage of a Saudi national filming the U.S. Capitol, reportedly considered a potential fourth target by al-Qaeda. Richard Bonin and Mirella Brussani produced this compelling investigation.
The Future of Warfare
Sharyn Alfonsi travels to Costa Mesa, California, to meet Palmer Luckey, the founder of Anduril, a defense technology company known for creating autonomous weapons. Alfonsi explores the artificial intelligence systems behind these innovations, including a fully automated submarine currently in use by the U.S. military and in Ukraine. While some international groups label such devices as “killer robots,” Luckey emphasizes their role as part of the next generation of warfare. Lucy Hatcher produces this in-depth look at the intersection of technology and defense.
Lourdes
Bill Whitaker reports from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in Southern France, the site of 72 medically recognized miracles. 60 MINUTES gains exclusive access to the Lourdes Office of Medical Observations, where leading doctors and researchers evaluate claims of miraculous cures. Whitaker’s segment examines the rigorous process used to distinguish medically explainable cases from those that defy explanation. Nichole Marks produced this fascinating story on faith, science, and healing.
This Sunday’s edition promises a mix of investigative journalism, advanced technology, and human-interest stories, offering viewers a thoughtful and compelling hour of television.
