60 minutes next episode
60 Minutes is airing for a two-hour block on CBS on Sunday, June 29, starting at 7 pm ET/PT, according to TV Guide.
These episodes will feature previously aired segments (with any notable updates included). Here's a look at what will be shown:
Humans in the Loop: As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay and undertreated psychological trauma.
Sealand: Jon Wertheim journeys by boat (and winch) into the world’s smallest – and unlikeliest – state: the Principality of Sealand. Just off the English coast, and roughly the landmass of two tennis courts, it boasts a full-time population of one. It was built during World War II as a nautical fort, and later repurposed as a “pirate radio” station under its monarchs, the Bates family. Wertheim takes a tour of this micronation and its history of piracy, coups, countercoups and rogues.
Werner Herzog: The name Werner Herzog may not be as recognizable as Spielberg or Scorsese, but over the last six decades, the German filmmaker has had a profound and far-reaching influence on the world of cinema. He’s made over 70 features and documentaries, which are often dream-like explorations of nature’s power, human frailties and the edges of sanity. Anderson Cooper sits down with the enigmatic director to discuss his films, and his other roles as writer and actor.
Under the Radar: The head of NORAD and NORTHCOM, the military commands that defend North America, told Congress recently that some of those mysterious drones seen flying inside the United States may have been spying. 60 Minutes investigates a surprising story about an alarming drone incursion in December 2023. Bill Whitaker reports what happened over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, which houses nearly half of the most advanced US stealth fighter jets, the F-22 Raptor, and how it is part of a series of brazen overflights of sensitive military sites.
The Album: When a photo album depicting Nazis socializing at dinner parties and picnics arrived at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007, historians weren’t sure what to make of it. After an extensive investigation, it turned out to be a rare personal scrapbook of a high-ranking Nazi officer who helped run the daily operations of Auschwitz, the concentration camp where more than a million people, mostly Jews, were murdered. Anderson Cooper tells the story behind the album and why acclaimed theater director Moises Kaufman decided to turn it into an Off-Broadway play called “Here There Are Blueberries.”
Tasmanian Tiger: Jon Wertheim reports from the Australian island of Tasmania on the mysterious thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger – an apex predator not seen since last century, but renowned through local folklore. Though the tiger was declared extinct 40 years ago, Wertheim meets those looking for the creature in the bush and the lab, and who, one way or another, are certain of its enduring survival.
