PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY – While Ukraine maintains its counteroffensive and Russia’s war rages on, 60 MINUTES correspondent Scott Pelley speaks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the presidential offices in Kyiv before his visit to the United States. Pelley discusses many topics with Zelenskyy, including possible territorial concessions, drone strikes in Russia, and U.S. aid. Maria Gavrilovic is the producer.

INTO THE STREETS – The Israeli military reservist group Brothers and Sisters in Arms, which includes commando soldiers and pilots, are at the forefront of the massive rallies, as reported by Lesley Stahl. They have been protesting for months against Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s plan to significantly weaken the Supreme Court of Israel. They fear it will lead to totalitarian rule. Already, it has triggered what could arguably be the worst domestic crisis in the country’s history. Shachar Bar-On is the producer.

Wertheim has a conversation with Sanders about his journey from reviving the football program at HBCU Jackson State to becoming the head coach at CU and what’s next for “Coach Prime.” Draggan Mihailovich is the producer.
