Pope Leo's Church, Risk on the Road, What Happened to the Great White Sharks?

Pope Leo's Church, Risk on the Road, What Happened to the Great White Sharks?

Author: CBS News April 13, 2026 Duration: 43:32
Nearly one year after the election of Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV, Norah O’Donnell speaks with three of the most influential American cardinals in their first joint interview about how Pope Leo’s church has emerged as a voice of moral opposition to the war with Iran and against the crackdown on immigration in the U.S. O’Donnell interviews Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago; Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, D.C.; and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark, NJ, about the effect Pope Leo is having on the Catholic Church. She also travels to Italy to visit Castel Gandolfo, the 400-year-old papal summer retreat. Continuing the work of his predecessor, Pope Francis, Pope Leo is opening the property up to the world to create opportunities for migrants and the less fortunate. 60 MINUTES investigates a scheme putting us at risk on our roadways - the rise of dangerous commercial trucking fleets called chameleon carriers. Known for flouting federal regulations and racking up safety violations, these often foreign owned and operated networks are four times more likely to be involved in severe crashes. Bill Whitaker reports on one such scheme - Super Ego - a network of commercial trucking and leasing companies that is currently under federal investigation and named in a class action lawsuit. The coastal waters around Cape Town, South Africa had long been a global destination for seeing great white sharks. That was until about ten years ago, when these feared predators began washing up on beaches with their livers missing. Correspondent Anderson Cooper goes to South Africa to investigate a whodunnit that’s fueled a bitter feud among scientists and conservationists who can’t agree on who, or what, is the real culprit.
