Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on an American doctor who volunteers in Gaza, and from Doha where medical teams work to rehabilitate children injured in the war. Who are the men President Trump sent to a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador using a wartime law dating back to 1798?  The Trump administration says they are all violent gang members and terrorists. But after obtaining internal government documents, 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for most of the prisoners. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports.  With a history spanning two thousand years and still playing a vital role in global commerce, the oak barrel, as correspondent Bill Whitaker discovers, is much more than just a container. Barrels are a vital ingredient, especially in the production of Bourbon Whiskey — giving it all of its distinctive color and much of its taste. Whitaker takes us inside the largest maker of wooden barrels to glimpse the magic and mystique of this essential tradition.

单集文稿 ...

  • There's a lot going on right now, mounting economic inequality,

  • threats to democracy, environmental disaster, the sour stench of chaos in the air.

  • I'm Brooke Gladstone, host of WNYC's On The Media.

  • Want to understand the reasons and the meanings of the narratives that led us here,

  • and maybe how to head them off at the pass?

  • That's On The Media's specialty.

  • Take a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • The war in Gaza is at a critical moment.

  • A failed ceasefire, Israeli hostages still captive, and in Gaza's failing hospitals, volunteers fighting to save lives.

  • I can't stop bombs.

  • I can't rescue hostages.

  • But I can stand next to you.

  • I can live amongst you.

  • And it's not much, but it beats bearing your head in hatred and violence and ignorance.

  • Who did the U.S. government deport to El Salvador?

  • 60 Minutes has been investigating the secretive operation that sent more than 200 men to a notorious Salvadoran prison,

  • despite many not having criminal records.

  • Our client, who was in the middle of seeking asylum, just disappeared.

  • One day he was there, and the next day we're supposed to have court, and he wasn't brought to court.

  • You used the word disappeared.
