The Origin of Everything | Sportswashing | The Resurrection of Notre Dame

The Origin of Everything – 60 MINUTES' Scott Pelley explores images captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the world's most powerful space telescope. Speaking with astrophysicists and astronomers, Pelley reports on the telescope's discoveries of distant galaxies, including one that's over 33 billion light years away, and an observation that, if confirmed, could upend the belief on how the universe formed and more. Pelley visited Webb in 2021 before its historic launch into orbit, 25 years in the making.

Sportswashing  In the days of the Roman Coliseum, they called it "bread and circuses" – leaders using entertainment to distract citizens from genuine problems. Today, Saudi Arabia is accused of using the same tactic with a different name: "sportswashing." Is the Kingdom diversifying its economy, as they insist, or covering up human rights abuses and political repression? Correspondent Jon Wertheim traveled to Saudi Arabia to find out.

The Resurrection of Notre Dame – Four years after a fire almost destroyed the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Bill Whitaker returns to Paris to witness the resurrection of the medieval structure and powerful symbol of France. Whitaker climbs to the top of the cathedral and speaks with its chief architect about the incredible attention to detail needed to restore the historic monument.

Upcoming

Bookish

London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.

Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.

Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
