Author: CBS News December 16, 2024 Duration: 47:40
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 towards change amid a new world order in the Middle East. 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 real 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 who is now advocating to raise awareness in schools and urging Congress to pass legislation to help safeguard kids. 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 Hermés' Artistic Director and sixth generation of the family, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, the allure comes from nearly 200 years of extraordinary artistry and craftsmanship.
