60 Minutes Reports on “The Prosecution of Jan. 6”, “Danger in the South China Sea” & “Dua Lipa” September 15 2024
The much-awaited premiere of the 57th season of “60 Minutes” is set for Sunday, September 15, 2024, on CBS, featuring a lineup of compelling stories and exclusive interviews that promise to captivate viewers.
The Prosecution of Jan. 6
In a segment that delves deep into the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley will take viewers into the heart of what has become the largest prosecution in U.S. history. Over 1,000 Americans have been convicted for their roles in the violent event that aimed to halt the electoral vote count. Pelley’s report will include interviews with key figures such as a man who was among the first to breach the Capitol, a Metropolitan police officer injured during the attack, a retired judge who analyzed the 2020 election results, and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, who is leading the prosecution. The segment promises to shed light on the ongoing investigations and the continuing search for suspects. Aaron Weisz is behind the production of this powerful piece.
Danger in the South China Sea
Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on the escalating tensions in the South China Sea in what is described as “the most dangerous conflict no one is talking about.” During her journey aboard a Philippine ship, Vega experiences firsthand the volatility of the region when the vessel is rammed by China’s coast guard. This segment explores the potential for U.S. involvement as tensions between China and the Philippines continue to rise over territorial disputes. Producers Andy Court and Jacqueline Williams bring this pressing international issue to the forefront.
Dua Lipa
The episode also features a lighter, yet equally engaging story of pop sensation Dua Lipa, whose meteoric rise to fame began at the tender age of 15. Anderson Cooper sits down with Lipa to discuss her bold move from Pristina, Kosovo, to London in pursuit of a music career, a gamble that clearly paid off as she became an international star with over 45 billion streams of her music. John Hamlin produces this inspiring segment that looks into Lipa’s journey from an unknown songwriter to a global icon.
The season premiere of “60 Minutes” is set to offer a compelling mix of stories, ranging from serious political and international issues to uplifting tales of personal achievement, reflecting the program’s enduring commitment to high-quality journalism.
