After catastrophic earthquakes devastated war-torn northwest Syria in February, Scott Pelley travels to the battleground to meet an American medical charity and volunteers for the White Helmets who braved the odds. Pelley speaks with healthcare workers, survivors and first responders about the earthquakes and the constant attacks on healthcare ordered by Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad and his ally, Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Bill Whitaker meets with Ray Epps and his wife Robyn. Epps is notorious among consumers of right-wing media as the man who initiated the January 6th attack to undermine President Trump.

Death threats and harassment forced Epps and his wife Robyn to sell their Arizona ranch and go into hiding. So who is Ray Epps? Actor Nicolas Cage invites 60 MINUTES into his eclectic Las Vegas home to meet his African crow Huginn and discuss his over 40 years of making movies, including his latest role as Count Dracula in Renfield. Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with Cage about his love of cinema, his wide-ranging catalog of inspiration and the ups and downs along the way.

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.
