Radio Free Europe | The Vanishing Wild | Obesity

Radio Free Europe – Once seen as a Cold War relic, Radio Free Europe has become a vital tool in today's battle against disinformation and authoritarianism, especially since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. American taxpayers pay for RFE's $140 million budget, which recently got a bipartisan boost from Congress. Bill Whitaker visits the RFE headquarters in Prague and meets the brave journalists behind its fearless reporting. 

The Vanishing Wild – Scientists are sounding an alarm that we are living amid Earth's sixth mass extinction; the last one was 66 million years ago when an asteroid hit the Yucatan peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs. They predict we are just 20 years away from life being altered on Earth again. Scott Pelley speaks with experts who offer solutions to what they call one of the most urgent global problems. 

Obesity – Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in America after smoking. Lesley Stahl reports on a new medication that helps with weight loss but is wildly expensive and covered by very few insurance companies.

The Studio

As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
