Scott Pelley sits down with FBI Director Christopher Wray and intelligence chiefs from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand to ask whether the Israel-Hamas war has raised the terror threat at home in the United States and around the globe. Margaret Brennan conducts the first interview with one of the five American prisoners freed from Iran last month. With 200 hostages reportedly being held in Gaza, and 13 Americans unaccounted for, Emad Shargi’s harrowing story is a stark illustration of the difficulties and perils involved in bringing citizens home. Cecilia Vega profiles international punk rock, pop princess, Alecia Moore - also known as Pink - as she hits 25 years of her successful music-making career. Vega meets Pink at her home in California, stops backstage on her tour and traces her somewhat troubled journey to superstardom. Bill Whitaker reports from the Isle of Man on the longest-running and most dangerous motorcycle race on earth: The Isle of Man TT. Once the seat of a Viking Kingdom, the 30 mile-long island sits in the middle of the Irish Sea, with England to the east and Ireland to the west. Whitaker examines the distinct Manx identity and the role a collision of cultures played in shaping such a wild and improbable race.
