Airs 7:00-8:00 PM, ET/ PT on the CBS Television Network

THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG - With mis- and disinformation rampant on social media in the leadup to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, correspondent Lesley Stahl reports on the spread of misleading information, and big tech's efforts to reign it in while battling claims of censorship. Now, the Supreme Court is deciding whether social media platforms ultimately hold free speech rights to make their own editorial decisions or if they are solely carriers of everyone's speech. Ayesha Siddiqi is the producer.

AMLO - As immigration and the economy emerge as key issues in this year's race for the White House, 60 MINUTES' Sharyn Alfonsi conducts a candid interview with the popular, leftist president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Widely known by his initials, "AMLO," Alfonsi asks the president about border security, immigration, the economy, Mexican drug cartels, the Fentanyl crisis in America and more. Michael Karzis is the producer.

LAW OF THE SEA - 60 MINUTES reports on the mad dash in the Eastern Pacific for the vast quantities of critical minerals strewn on the sea floor - vital for almost all of today's electronics. Mining the international seabed could start next year and China is set to dominate it. But in this crucial race, America is nowhere - sidelined by a group of Republican senators who refuse to ratify the UN's Law of the Sea. Unless it does, America is locked out of competing for those underwater riches. Correspondent Bill Whitaker looks at the consequences of the Senate logjam over the Law of the Sea. Heather Abbott is the producer.
