This iconic newsmagazine continues to be a go-to source for in-depth reporting and compelling stories that highlight both people and events shaping the world. Each week, viewers can expect a mix of investigative journalism and human interest pieces that go beyond the headlines.

POPE FRANCIS – This past May, Norah O’Donnell met Pope Francis for a rare and historic interview at his home, the Santa Marta guest house in Vatican City, a week before the Catholic Church hosted its inaugural World Children’s Day. The 88-year-old, Argentinian-born pope, the first named Francis and first from the Americas, is known for his dedication to the poor and marginalized, and for being the most unconventional head of the Church in recent memory. He spoke candidly with O’Donnell about the wars in Israel and Gaza, Ukraine, and the migration crises around the world and on the U.S. southern border. Their wide-ranging conversation also touched upon the Church’s handling of its own sexual abuse scandals; Francis’ deep commitment to inclusivity within the Church; the backlash against his papacy from certain corners of U.S. Catholicism; and an exploration of his thinking on surrogate parenthood. Keith Sharman, Julie Morse and Anna Matranga are the producers.

NOTRE DAME – Earlier this month, the arched doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris opened to the public for the first time since April 2019, when a devastating fire nearly destroyed the great Gothic church. Correspondent Bill Whitaker had a first look inside a modern miracle of repair and restoration by workers and artisans who made possible French President Emmanuel Macron’s impossible-sounding pledge to complete the rebirth in five years. As Macron told Whitaker, “The decision to rebuild Notre Dame was … about our capacity to save, restore, sometimes reinvent what we are by preserving where we come from.” Rome Hartman is the producer.

BUILT BY ANGELS – Correspondent Scott Pelley travels to Ethiopia to witness the Christmas vigil at Lalibela, a mysterious holy place, where churches are situated on a 42-acre site and are said to be built by angels. Pelley witnesses 200,000 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians who pilgrimage on Christmas Eve to celebrate its origins and speaks with Fasil Giorghis, an Ethiopian architect and historian, who tells Pelley, “Coming here as a devout Christian is a very strong sign of their belief … some people travel hundreds of kilometers here on foot, and they have been doing it for several centuries.” Nicole Young is the producer.

As always, the show’s signature style combines hard-hitting journalism with a personal touch, making it not just informative but also relatable. Fans of the program can look forward to a captivating hour that not only informs but also inspires.
