Synopsis
ROAD TO DAMASCUS – As rebel forces toppled the Assad regime in a stunning victory that decimated a 50-year authoritarian rule, correspondent Scott Pelley reports from Damascus, Syria, on what the future holds for a country recovering from brutal war crimes, displacement and a deepening economic crisis. Pelley delivers his eighth report from Syria since he started covering the conflict in 2014 and looks at what's next for a nation moving toward change amid a new world order in the Middle East. Nicole Young and Kristin Steve are the producers. UNVEILING – Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on the misuse of artificial intelligence, investigating what are known as nudify websites and apps, which use AI to turn a photo of someone fully clothed into a real-looking nude image. Cooper meets Francesca Mani, a high school student who was victimized by this technology last year and is now advocating to raise awareness in schools and urging Congress to pass legislation to help safeguard kids. Nichole Marks and John Gallen are the producers. THE HOUSE OF HERMÈS – Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi takes you inside the House of Hermès for an intimate look at the artisans and culture behind one of France's revered luxury brands, where a distinctively French philosophy is stitched into its DNA. As Alfonsi learns from Hermès' artistic director and sixth generation of the family Pierre-Alexis Dumas, the allure comes from nearly 200 years of extraordinary artistry and craftsmanship. Michael Karzis is the producer.
