Information

THE DOMINO EFFECT – The United States is in the middle of a maternal health crisis – a woman in the U.S. is twice as likely to die from pregnancy today than her mother was a generation ago. Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the country’s troubling state of maternal healthcare and visits Louisiana, where women already facing some of the country’s highest maternal mortality rates are dealing with new maternal care hurdles imposed by the state’s abortion ban. Ashley Velie is the producer.

OUT OF THIN AIR – According to a 2023 UN climate report, the heat-trapping effects of carbon dioxide are more severe than anyone expected, as oil and gas emissions reached record highs. Bill Whitaker travels to Iceland to see the world’s first commercial direct air capture plant in operation, a potential climate solution that vacuums carbon dioxide out of thin air and locks it away deep underground. Can this new industry grow fast enough to avoid a climate catastrophe? Heather Abbott is the producer.

AN AMERICAN DOWN UNDER – Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the unlikely star of Australian rules football, and only American in the league, Mason Cox. Standing at nearly seven feet, Cox grew up in Texas with no knowledge of the sport of footy, but has quickly become an Aussie celebrity as he’s mastered the game as a player for the storied Collingwood Magpies. Jacqueline Williams is the producer.
