Summary

On this edition of “60 Minutes,” Scott Pelley on the data mining operation in Europe trying to uncover and detail the war crimes in Ukraine committed by Russian forces. Anderson Cooper meets Justice Defenders, who are training 100’s of prison inmates to be paralegals and even get law degrees so they can help others get fair hearings. The results have been astounding! In Russia, ballet has always been entwined with politics. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Russian artists opposed to the war were left with a choice: stay and be silent or voice their dissent and leave. Jon Wertheim speaks with the dancers making difficult decisions.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
