This Sunday, April 28, 2024, from 7:00-8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network, “60 Minutes” presents three compelling segments that delve into distinct yet impactful stories shaping the current social and technological landscape.

Children of War

In a poignant report by correspondent Scott Pelley, viewers will gain insight into the lives of America’s “children of war”—a segment of the population often overlooked. These children live with disabled military veterans, witnessing first-hand the severe emotional and physical repercussions of military service. The segment highlights how these youths assist their families in navigating the complexities of caregiving for wounded veterans. Pelley’s report features conversations with Senator Elizabeth Dole, who has been instrumental in founding an organization that supports military caregivers, as well as interactions with two families burdened with the ongoing impacts of America’s post-9/11 military engagements.

Nvidia

Bill Whitaker takes viewers inside the world of Nvidia, a titan in the technology sector that has recently surpassed $2 trillion in stock market value. The company is at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, largely due to its innovative graphics processing units that enhance computer processing power. Whitaker’s discussion with Jensen Huang, the CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, covers the company’s groundbreaking contributions to AI and explores its applications across various fields, including drug development and weather pattern prediction.

Crisis at Pearl Harbor

The episode also addresses a recent environmental and health crisis at Pearl Harbor, where a fuel spill jeopardized the Navy’s main drinking water system. Sharyn Alfonsi investigates the fallout from this incident, revealing the distressing reality faced by military families who were misled about the safety of their drinking water. The segment includes a tour of the secretive fuel storage site responsible for the water contamination and features interviews with affected family members who hold the Navy accountable for their health issues.
