60 Minutes has been on the air since 1968, beginning on a Tuesday, but spending most of its time on Sundays, where it remains today. This popular news magazine provides both hard hitting investigations, interviews and features, along with people in the news and current events. 60 Minutes has set unprecedented records in the Nielsen's ratings with a number 1 rating, five times, making it among the most successful TV programs in all of television history. This series has won more Emmy awards than any other news program and in 2003, Don Hewitt, the creator (back in 1968), was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Emmy, along with the 60 Minute correspondents. Added to the 11 Peabody awards, this phenomenally long-lived series has collected 78 awards up to the 2005 season and remains among the viewers top choice for news magazine features.

S59E5 - The Vote | Up in the Air | Who iz Sacha Baron Cohen?

The Vote - As Democrats and Republicans battle for control of the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections, 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl reports on the stress on our voting system as the Trump administration places demands on state and local election officials. Stahl travels to Utah, where Republican Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson explains why she's resisting pressure from Washington, and then speaks with Harmeet Dhillon from the Department of Justice about the role of the federal government. Andrew Bast is the producer.

Up in the Air - When the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed at the start of the war with Iran, it didn't just choke off oil and gas; it also trapped one-third of the world's helium supply. Then, Iranian strikes hit Ras Laffan in Qatar, the largest natural gas and helium facility in the world, further rattling supply chains. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on how this disruption halfway across the world is affecting a range of American industries, from scientific research to semiconductor manufacturing. Lucy Hatcher is the producer.

Who iz Sacha Baron Cohen? - 60 Minutes' Ariel Levy travels to London to sit down with Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor behind Borat, BrĂ¼no, and Ali G, who has unleashed his iconic characters on unsuspecting people in the real world.

S59E6 - Destination: Nowhere | #FreeTinaPeters | Australia's Experiment

Destination: Nowhere - As the Trump administration seeks to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history, it is removing more and more people to countries they are not from and often have no ties to. It's called "third country deportation," and a 60 Minutes investigation reveals how some of these third countries are forcing deportees back to the nations they fled, places where U.S. immigration judges have ruled they could not be sent because they'd likely face persecution or torture. 60 Minutes' Gianna Toboni travels to West Africa, where she meets a man who says he was sent, against his will, to his home country, despite a U.S. judge's ruling. She also interviews the top lawyer at the Department of Homeland Security, James Percival, about these kinds of deportations. Andy Court, Annabelle Hanflig, and Camilo Montoya-Galvez are the producers.

#FreeTinaPeters - After one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, Governor Jared Polis (D) asked the Trump administration for federal aid but was denied. The decision came as a top election official, Tina Peters, was serving a prison sentence after being convicted in connection with breaching her county's election system in pursuit of President Trump's claim that rigged voting machines cost him the 2020 election. Governor Polis commuted Peters' sentence in May and saw the release of federal funding into his state. Correspondent Bill Whitaker interviews Governor Polis and Peters in Colorado about the case, conviction and commutation. Sarah Koch is the producer.

Australia's Experiment - Last year, Australia became the first country in the world to force many social media companies to prevent children under the age of 16 from having accounts. 60 Minutes' Holly Williams reports from Australia on how the ban is working, why other countries are now following its lead, and what the tech giants stand to lose if the Australian experiment succeeds. Jacqueline Williams and Erin Lyall are the producers.
