Summary
Scott Pelley reports from Ukraine, where more than 1,000 children are fighting cancer amid Russian attacks on hospitals and the power grid, putting their lives in immediate danger. A renowned American hospital and 21 countries have stepped in to help. 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? Jon Wertheim traveled to Saudi Arabia to find out. Lesley Stahl profiles Hans Zimmer, one of Hollywood’s most in-demand composers, who will go on tour this spring to perform new arrangements of his iconic film scores.
