SECRETARY OF COMMERCE – Since taking office as the U.S. secretary of commerce under the Biden administration, Gina Raimondo has turned the second-tier agency into a center of national security, manufacturing and job creation. Correspondent Lesley Stahl meets Raimondo – including in her home state of Rhode Island, where she previously served as governor – to talk about the international “chip war” after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the escalating trade tensions with China over U.S. restrictions on the sale of leading-edge semiconductors and U.S. jobs hanging in the balance. Raimondo also shares the path that brought her to lead President Joe Biden’s Department of Commerce. Richard Bonin is the producer.

ON BRITISH SOIL – Less than 100 miles from Britain’s mainland lie the Channel Islands, British Crown dependencies with a fraught and hotly debated history. 60 MINUTES contributor Holly Williams visits the islands that were occupied by Germany for five years during World War II and where the Nazis operated two concentration camps. Williams speaks with historians, British government officials and longtime residents to find out what really happened. Justine Redman and Erin Lyall are the producers.

ST. MARY’S – Correspondent Bill Whitaker visits New Orleans, where two high school seniors solved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years. Whitaker speaks to the students, their families and the teachers at their school, St. Mary’s Academy, which has been fostering academic excellence and boundless possibilities for its student body of African American girls since the end of the Civil War. Sara Kuzmarov is the producer.
