CHINA’S SPIES – Chinese hackers have infiltrated U.S. government systems, the private sector and critical infrastructure, but hacking has not replaced Beijing’s pursuit of old-fashioned human intelligence, aka: spying. Norah O’Donnell reports on Chinese covert agents who monitor and influence events outside their own borders and surveil and intimidate Chinese dissidents right here in America. Keith Sharman and Roxanne Feitel are the producers.

THE IRS – Correspondent Anderson Cooper investigates recent large-scale firings at the Internal Revenue Service – part of President Trump’s efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce – and the impact they could have on the agency’s ability to collect taxes and crack down on tax fraud. Sarah Koch is the producer.

THE FUTURE OF WARFARE – Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi travels to Costa Mesa, Calif., to meet with Palmer Luckey, the 32-year-old tech billionaire who founded Anduril, a defense products company that makes autonomous weapons, some already in use by the U.S. military and in the war in Ukraine. Alfonsi explores the artificial intelligence that powers Anduril’s systems and reports on some of the company’s most advanced weapons, including a submarine that operates without sailors. While several international groups refer to lethal autonomous weapons as “killer robots,” Luckey says that these innovations represent the future of warfare. Lucy Hatcher is the producer.

CHILDREN OF WAR – Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on America’s children of war, often overlooked, who live with disabled military veterans. Millions of American youth across the country navigate complex childhoods, witness the emotional and physical impact of service on wounded warriors and help the veterans and their families through hard times. Pelley speaks with Senator Elizabeth Dole, who created a foundation to support military caregivers, and two families of U.S. veterans who have carried the burden of America’s post-9/11 wars. Aaron Weisz and Ian Flickinger are the producers.

NOTRE DAME – Last December, 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 has 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.

TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET – When Timothée Chalamet was offered the chance to play Bob Dylan in a film based on the legendary musician, a lot of people told him not to take it. Chalamet didn’t know much about playing the guitar or harmonica, or about Dylan himself. 60 MINUTES spends a couple of days with the 29-year-old actor to find out how he prepared for over five years to play one of the most enigmatic and revered musicians of our time for his film “A Complete Unknown,” which earned him his second Oscar nomination for best actor. Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits Chalamet’s childhood home and Dylan’s old haunts in New York City and discovers some of the parallels between the two artists. Nichole Marks is the producer.
