60 Minutes Reports on “The War in Gaza, The Prisoners” & “Wood to Whiskey” April 6 2025

This Sunday, April 6, 2025, “60 Minutes” on CBS presents another gripping episode from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT, featuring stories that delve into international conflict, controversial legal actions, and traditional craftsmanship.
The War in Gaza
Correspondent Scott Pelley takes viewers into the heart of Gaza, focusing on an American doctor who has been volunteering in the war-torn region. The report extends to Doha, where medical teams are dedicated to rehabilitating children injured in the ongoing conflict. This segment, produced by Nicole Young, promises to offer a poignant look at the humanitarian efforts amid the chaos, highlighting the resilience and dedication of those on the front lines of medical and relief work.
The Prisoners
In a provocative investigation, correspondent Cecilia Vega explores a deeply contentious issue—the imprisonment of men President Trump has designated as violent gang members and terrorists, utilizing a wartime law from 1798. “60 Minutes” has obtained internal government documents that apparently reveal a lack of criminal records for most of the incarcerated individuals. This report, produced by Andy Court, Annabelle Hanflig, and Camilo Montoya-Galvez, raises serious questions about justice and the criteria used for such severe actions, offering viewers an in-depth look at the potential misuse of legal powers.
Wood to Whiskey
Bill Whitaker brings a lighter yet fascinating story about the age-old tradition of oak barrel making, which plays a crucial role not only in storing but in crafting the flavor profile of spirits like Bourbon whiskey. The segment takes the audience inside the largest maker of wooden barrels, revealing the intricacies and craftsmanship involved in producing these essential components of whiskey making. Produced by Rome Hartman, this story not only educates but captivates with its insight into how a simple container shapes the subtleties of a beloved beverage.
This week’s “60 Minutes” episode is set to offer a mix of intense investigative journalism and intriguing cultural exploration, promising valuable insights into diverse and compelling subjects.
