President Zelenskyy – As Russia's war on Ukraine continues, 60 MINUTES' Scott Pelley goes inside a government building in Kyiv to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for an extensive interview following the leader's visit to Bucha and his address to the United Nations Security Council. Pelley spoke with Zelenskyy about the civilian attacks and then traveled to Bucha himself, where he talked to residents who survived the Russian assault on their city. This is a double-length segment. Bitcoin Beach – 60 MINUTES' Sharyn Alfonsi heads to El Zonte, a rustic fishing village of 3,000 on El Salvador's coast that boasts two things: a great point break and what may be the best example of a bitcoin economy. After an anonymous donation of bitcoin in 2019, an American expat and a group of young Salvadoran community leaders saw the value bitcoin could bring to their area. In a town with no bank and with nearly 70% of Salvadorans unbanked, they believe bitcoin has the potential to level the playing field for those long excluded from traditional financial systems. Alfonsi spoke with the characters on the ground about the extraordinary circumstances that sparked Bitcoin Beach and its potential to change people's lives.

The template of TV newsmagazine power — for the craft of the package and the history of broadcast investigation. Hewitt's stopwatch, Wallace's ambush, Safer and Bradley and Rooney's endnotes: Sunday night investigative theater that outrated sitcoms. Appointment news before the infinite scroll. Tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick, tick — not a theme song, a weapon. CBS's 60 Minutes, Don Hewitt's stopwatch since 1968, was an 1980s Nielsen bully that outrated sitcoms on Sunday night: investigative pieces, profiles, commentator segments, correspondent star power. Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Harry Reasoner, Ed Bradley, Diane Sawyer, Andy Rooney's endnotes. **Ambush interviews and gotcha lore made Wallace a fearsome brand.** The museum guard wants the package as civic virtue. The flash is the ambush. Appointment news before the…
