HEADLINES: No justice? No peace: The nation expresses heartache, anger and hope | Watch VideoIt was a week when hundreds of thousands of demonstrators in all 50 states, and beyond, risked exposing themselves to coronavirus in order to voice their anguish at the death, in Minneapolis, of George Floyd, another black man killed while being detained by a white police officer. Correspondent Martha Teichner reports on the social and political upheaval of protests, violence, and demands for justice.

        COVER STORY: The whole world is watching us | Watch VideoInternational observers, both America's friends and adversaries, discuss the anger and polarization in our nation that, they say, represent a United States relinquishing its global leadership and turning its back on the world. Special contributor Ted Koppel talks with Chinese journalist Liu Xin; Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes; writer-philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy; former Mexican cabinet official Jorge Castañeda; and Russian broadcaster Vladimir Pozner about what the past four years have meant for our country in the eyes of the world.

The "ghost light" is more than a stage tradition; it's a symbol of how the bright lights of the theater world haven't been entirely dimmed by the pandemic. CBS News

ON STAGE: Keeping the lights burning on Broadway | Watch VideoCOVID-19 has shuttered stages on the Great White Way, but there are some traditions in Broadway theatres that can't be totally turned off. Mo Rocca talks with "Hadestown" star André De Shields, multiple Tony-winner Bernadette Peters, Broadway producer Jennifer Ashley Tepper, and with Seth Rudetsky & James Wesley, the couple behind the "Stars In the House" web series, about how the theater world is coping with the shutdown, and when shows may be expected to reopen.

    SOCIOLOGY:  A crossroads for race relations | Watch VideoAmericans are witnessing a national reckoning about racism, which has permeated all levels of life, producing different standards for whites and people of color. Correspondent Maurice DuBois talks with activists, educators and writers about wrestling with the problems of race, about white privilege, and about the need for parents to give African American youths "the talk" – instructions on how to behave in front of law enforcement to try to avoid negative repercussions based on their skin color.
