RISE – As Ukrainian families grieve the losses of their loved ones in Russia’s continued conflict, correspondent Scott Pelley joins a group of widows and children of the war on a mountain climb in the Austrian Alps, a journey of recovery and resilience.
Organized by a charity founded by an American Marine who is still finding his footing after serving three combat tours in Iraq, Pelley joins the bereaved families, who traveled 1,300 miles after their city was bombed, on an expedition of hope, community and teamwork. This is a double-length segment. Oriana Zill de Granados and Michael Rey are the producers.
JEFF KOONS – Anderson Cooper profiles Jeff Koons, one of the most prominent and polarizing artists in the world. Known for making sculptures and paintings inspired by everyday objects or famous characters, his works can take decades to make and push the boundaries of technology and sometimes taste. Koons shows Cooper some of his latest work at both a stone workshop in Pennsylvania and his studio in New York, where he gives 60 MINUTES a look at what he hopes will be a permanent art exhibit on the moon. Nichole Marks is the producer.

AN ISLAND OFF AN ISLAND – Jon Wertheim ventures to a 90-square-mile jewel of land off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

CALIGULA’S GARDENS – The gardens of the Roman emperor Caligula have been discovered and excavated, and some of the most remarkable finds are now on display.

Andy Court is the producer.
