CUBAN SPYCRAFT – For decades, prolific Cuban spies working in the U.S. government, serving in high-profile positions with top security clearances, have evaded American intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Washington, D.C., and Miami on the stories of two such undercover agents, former U.S. ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha and onetime Pentagon official Ana Montes. Cuba continues to supply one of the most dangerous exports to American adversaries around the world: American secrets. Michael Rey is the producer.

ROBO – For centuries, the giants of the art world, like Michelangelo, have made a beeline for the world-famous Carrara marble quarries of Northern Tuscany, turning the white stone into masterpieces. Now, a fleet of robots has moved in, carving with pinpoint precision and sparking an art world fracas. Correspondent Bill Whitaker travels to Carrara and jumps into the fray: can a robot make art? While many contemporary A-listers are turning to robots for help, many of Italy’s hammer-and-chisel brigade are up in arms. They claim Italy’s artistic heritage is on the line. Heather Abbott is the producer.

DUA LIPA – Many teenagers want to become pop stars, but few convince their parents to let them pack their bags and move to another country to make it big. That’s precisely what Dua Lipa did when she was 15 years old, trading Pristina, Kosovo, for London. Correspondent Anderson Cooper talks with her about her journey from unknown songwriter to international sensation. John Hamlin is the producer.

SCATTERED SPIDER – A surprisingly young cohort of hackers paralyzed some of Las Vegas’ biggest hotels and casinos in the fall of 2023, demanding an exorbitant ransom. The FBI and cyber security researchers call them “Scattered Spider” and say they are predominantly made up of native English-speaking hackers from Western countries, including the United States. Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports on the attack that brought operations at the MGM Grand, Aria and Bellagio, among others, to a standstill. Alarmingly, the hackers are evidently still in business today. Graham Messick is the producer.

KNIFE – In his first television interview since he was attacked at a literary festival in Chautauqua, N.Y., almost three years ago, author Salman Rushdie details his experience to correspondent Anderson Cooper. Rushdie, who was stabbed 15 times and lost his right eye, has come to terms with the attack by writing about it in his latest book, KNIFE (Penguin, 2024). He talks to Cooper about Iran’s religious decree – or fatwa – that called for his death 36 years ago, his years in hiding and how he reclaimed his life in the U.S. before he was nearly killed by an assailant wielding a knife. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.

AUSSIEWOOD – Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on a phenomenon that has long captured Hollywood: the outsized presence of Australians earning top billings and awards on the American silver screen – in front of and behind the camera. Wertheim interviews Aussie actress Sarah Snook and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann about the country’s renowned training grounds for the dramatic arts, their pathways to international theater, film and television and the Australian mindset on stardom. Jacqueline Williams is the producer.
