Airs 7:00-8:00 PM, ET/ PT on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+
LEFT BEHIND - Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from McDowell County, W.Va. - once the nation's largest coal producer, and now one of the poorest places in the county, where the food stamp program started and the opioid crisis took hold. One in three households in McDowell County depends on SNAP benefits - a program that has fed families for decades and is facing one of the biggest federal funding cuts in its history. Vega meets members of a community who have witnessed government assistance come and go, and asks what comes next. Ayesha Siddiqi is the producer.
SOUTH AFRICA'S REFUGEES - When President Trump said he would "permanently pause migration from all third world countries" to the U.S., there was one exception: the resettlement of white South African refugees, mostly Afrikaners. The president has said white farmers in the country are victims of genocide, a claim the government of South Africa disputes. Correspondent Anderson Cooper travels to the country to hear from South Africans themselves. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.
IS THAT ART? - Artificial intelligence is being used to make art that is being embraced by many of the world's most prestigious museums and auction houses, raising an age-old question: what counts as art? Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi steps into the debate, meeting Refik Anadol, the 40-year-old Turkish-American artist considered a pioneer in the world of AI art. Anadol calls it "revolutionary." Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jerry Saltz calls most of it "crap." And some artists call it "the greatest art heist in history." Michael Baltierra is the producer.
