05/03/2026: Disaster Tourists, Birds of War, Perfume Capital of the World

Author: CBS News May 4, 2026 Duration: 42:57
Often following natural disasters, conspiracists, militias, and white supremacist groups sweep in to hard-hit communities offering help. But they’ve been called “disaster tourists,” out to soften their image, gain followers and sow doubt in the government. Correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with law enforcement and a self-proclaimed white nationalist to explore whether this is becoming “the new normal". From the dense jungle in the mountains of western Colombia, correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on how decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and left-wing guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and narco-traffickers created “no-go” areas where rare species of birds flourish.  Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Grasse in the south of France where flowers for the world’s most famous perfume have been grown and gathered for more than one hundred years. In the early 1900s, Grasse was home to more than 10,000 acres of flower fields; today it’s just over 100.
